Sun Simiao is a well-known "medicine king" in China, born in 541 AD, at the age of about 140 years old, although the specific age is controversial in later generations, but everyone recognizes that the elderly Sun Simiao is very long-lived in ancient times, Sun Simiao's life expectancy can exceed one hundred, which has a lot to do with his identity and the concept of health. When I was a child, I often heard that "a long illness became a good doctor", when he was a child, Sun Simiao's physical condition was not good, he fell ill at both ends of three days, suffered from medicine, and because he saw a doctor and took medicine to add a burden to the family, Sun Simiao secretly swore that he would also be a good doctor and treat the people in the future.
When he was a child, Sun Simiao was born very smart and quickly achieved a little success, he studied ancient medical books while collecting folk prescriptions, and when he was 7 years old, he could recognize more than a thousand words, which can be said to be very clever and clever. Moreover, sensitive and studious, he studied medicine not only from books but also from the general public for help and learning, on the one hand, he was familiar with the "Yellow Emperor's Inner Classic", "On typhoid fever and miscellaneous diseases" and other medical classics, they all recorded the folk remedies they mastered, and applied them in clinical practice, and these folk remedies were eventually written into his medical masterpieces "A Thousand Golden Formulas" and "Thousand Golden Wings Fang". In his youth, Sun Simiao lived in seclusion in Zhongnan Mountain, and his reputation was great, and two generations of emperors of the Tang Dynasty invited him to the imperial court as a doctor. Both were rejected by him. In this way, Sun Simiao never became an official, and insisted on studying medicine in the folk to treat diseases and save people.
In his later years, Sun Simiao also read various medical books, collected widely folk prescriptions, personally collected medicinal materials when he lived in Taibai Mountain, studied the performance of drugs, and determined the appropriate collection of 233 kinds of Chinese herbal medicines. Before his death, Sun Simiao repeatedly told his disciples: "This prescription must be destroyed, and it must not be left in the folk." "What is the prescription?" This medicine is convenient for "five stone scatter", Sun Simiao in the study of the Eastern Han Dynasty famous doctor Zhang Zhongjing left a prescription, realized this prescription, five stone scatter can be used for typhoid fever, raw materials are stone stalactite, stone sulfur, white stone yellow, purple quartz, red stone fat, so it got its name. Because after eating "five stone scatter", people will become ethereal, and extremely excited, and even hallucinate, just like the current marijuana, Sun Simiao carefully found that "five stone scatter" has great destructive power on the human body, and is easy to become addicted, over time, people's temperament will change greatly, and eventually die of poisoning.
After Sun Simiao learned of the harm of this prescription, he often explained to everyone in the folk that the five stones should not be eaten, and before he died, he repeatedly instructed his disciples to destroy the prescription, because When Sun Simiao was dying, he repeatedly instructed the disciples to remember the master's words and inform people of its harm.
