Core tips
It is said that Chinese medicine is the essence of the country, but because it is obscure and difficult to learn, there are not many people who really study Chinese medicine today. But no more does not mean no, there is an old man in Yujia County who is nearly ancient and rare, and spent thirty years sorting out family medical books, which are now published.
Recently, Chen Peizhen, a villager in Housi Village, Yujia County, was particularly happy. Every day when he went to bed, he had to take out these medical books to take a look, and this medical book that had just been published, "Wet Evidence, Cold, Warm, Poor Source", was full of his nearly thirty years of painstaking efforts. Chen Peizhen, a villager in Housi Village, Yujia County: When I was very young, my father, the elderly of the previous generation, including my grandmother, knew all about medicine and often told me that our family's medicine books should be studied well.
Chen Peizhen, 69 years old, told reporters: Their family is a family of traditional Chinese medicine. Chen Peizhen's ancestor gaozu was named Chen Qichang, a famous doctor in the late Qing Dynasty, who left medical manuscripts such as "Wet Certificate Hair Cold, Warm, Poor Source" and other medical manuscripts, and the Chen family passed down Gaozu's manuscripts as heirlooms, but for various reasons, not many people really practiced medicine in the Chen family's descendants. Chen Peizhen also realized the preciousness of family TCM at the age of forty, and since then, he has begun to study the family medical book, determined to publish it. Chen Peizhen, a villager in Housi Village, Yuejia County: If you put such a good thing in your own home, it won't work, this is a social thing, so I had this wish many years ago, and I must make efforts to make it come out again.
Family medical books are all traditional characters, typesetting, obscure, want to understand, is a test of their own cultural skills. Fortunately, Chen Peizhen's father went to a private school and was proficient in the Four Books and Five Classics, and under the influence of his father, Chen Peizhen had a certain foundation in literature and literature, coupled with diligence and persistence, in 2005, he could already understand the family medical books. After that, he began to correct the errata according to the contents of the book, according to his own understanding, and self-sorted the manuscript. Chen Peizhen, a villager in Housi Village, Yujia County: I sent the manuscript to the People's Medical Publishing House, where people held a meeting to study it, and finally said that it would be published.
At the end of last year, this medical book compiled by Chen Peizhen was successfully published and spread as a good story in the local area. There are medical theories for diseases in medical books, as well as folk recipes for treating diseases in the Chen family. Usually, these are all heirlooms that are secretly passed down, but Chen Peizhen has written them in the book without reservation.
Chen Peizhen is also sorting out several other family medical books, which are ready to be published in recent years. The reporter learned: At present, Chen Qichang's traditional Chinese medicine, which is passed down by Chen Peizhen's family, has been selected as the intangible cultural heritage of Xinxiang City, and is currently applying for provincial intangible cultural heritage.
