People are floating in the rivers and lakes,
Who can not be knifed,
A knife, a bag,
Pack you want to take a second stab.
In martial arts novels, after the hero is injured, he will put "golden sore medicine" on the wound, as long as there is a gold sore medicine, the wound can heal and no longer bleed. Therefore, the golden sore medicine has become a must-carry item for the hero to carry, which is convenient for saving lives at any time.
Artistic creation is higher than life, derived from life, golden sores medicine is also available in real life, it has the effect of stopping bleeding in Chinese and treating wounds, but it does not have such a miraculous effect.
The prototype of golden sore medicine is "knife tip medicine", which originated in the Qing Dynasty. The ancients did not shave their heads and cut their hair, until the Qing Dynasty, manchus kept braided heads, so han Chinese were also required to keep braided heads.
If a person does not want to shave his hair, he cuts off his head, so many people shave their hair, so the shaver begins to rise and become a profession. When the shaver shaves his hair, he will always scratch the scalp of people because of various mistakes, and a lot of blood will be shed.
In order to stop the bleeding, the shaver sprinkled the tip of the knife on the wound, which could stop the bleeding. The Taiping Shenghuifang records: "The knife tip medicine has the effect of detoxification, hemostasis, and convergence, and is mainly used to treat knife axe wounds, gold sores and bleeding, and many years of bad sores." ”
If the tip of the knife is so powerful, why is it lost now? This is related to its raw materials, one of the raw materials for making knife tip medicine is "keel", that is, oracle bone.
In the twenty-fifth year of the Qing Dynasty (1899 AD), the Guozi supervisor Wang Yirong was unwell, so he went to grab a pair of medicines, which contained oracle bones. Wang Yirong was a careful person, and he found that there were words on the oracle bone, so he looked up the information and translated the text on the oracle bone.
Later, Wang Yirong found that the text on the oracle bone recorded the history of the Shang Dynasty, which surprised him. Wang Yirong quickly retrieved all the oracle bones in the pharmacy and conducted research and discovery, which found a lot of historical documents of the Shang Dynasty.
Oracle bones are tools for recording history, how did they become the raw materials for making knife-tip medicine? Oracle bones are buried in the ground all year round, very irritable, they have the effect of absorbing water and stopping bleeding, so people dig up oracle bones and sell them to pharmacies.
Pharmacies then make oracle bones into powder and use them to make knife-tip medicine. During the Shang Dynasty, there was no paper bamboo jane, so people carved words on oracle bones, which are one of the important evidences of witnessing history, and can be called precious historical relics.
Such a precious thing was used to grind into medicinal powder, it is a waste to treat wounds, I don't know how many oracle bones were ground into medicinal powder at that time, these are precious historical relics, which have a very important role in the study of history.
Knife tip medicine is made of oracle bone, and oracle bone is a precious historical relic, so the knife tip medicine gradually disappeared. With the development of modern medicine, there have been many hemostatic drugs, and the traditional medicine of knife tip medicine has naturally been eliminated.
