Jinchuang medicine is an extremely miraculous medicine, which can quickly stop bleeding and make wounds heal at a very fast speed. In Jin Yong's novel "Tianlong Babu", the figure of Jin Chuangyao can be seen everywhere.
Qiao Feng was in the xinglin forest, in order to avoid the death of the elders, after inserting three knives into his shoulder, the blood flowed non-stop, Elder Xu used his own special golden creation medicine to wipe on his shoulder, the blood was stopped instantly, and the wound was also healing rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Jin Chuang Medicine not only appears in martial arts novels, but also in one of the four famous works of the "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" as a hemostatic elixir, soldiers after being injured by the sword, with a touch of Jin Chuang Medicine can stop bleeding and heal, the figure of Jin Chuang Yao appears in many novels, because it does exist.
Jinchuang medicine disappeared in the late Qing Dynasty, why did such a very advanced drug suddenly disappear?
Jinchuang medicine has existed
Jinchuang medicine is commonly known as knife tip medicine, it specializes in treating wounds damaged by the tip of the weapon, and has the effect of stopping bleeding, eliminating bruises, reducing swelling and relieving pain.
The most similar effect to Jinchuang medicine is Yunnan Baiyao, which is not as miraculous as jinchuang medicine, but it is also very effective in treating bruises caused by bruises.
Although Jinchuang Medicine disappeared at the end of the Qing Dynasty, its prescription has been passed down to this day, and its ingredients are male turtle, bili nanxing, strychnine, southern safflower and so on.
These ingredients, their dosage and development methods are well known to the world, but today they can't see a bottle of Jinchuang medicine again, because these ingredients are very rare. And among these rare ingredients, there is a raw material that is the most important ingredient for making Jinchuang medicine, which is called "keel".
Keels are not the bones of legendary dragon or dinosaur fossils, but tortoiseshells or carapaces, which are very common things. However, if fresh animal bone armor is used as a raw material for jinchuang medicine, then its medicinal effect will not be so magical.
The keel of Jinchuang Medicine is an oracle bone that has a history of hundreds of thousands of years, because these oracle bones are buried in the land for many years and become very dry, so that they have the effect of hygroscopic and hemostasis.
These long-standing oracle bones are the carriers of oracle bones, national treasures, and the ingredients used as medicines are too luxurious.
Before the end of the Qing Dynasty, people did not know the importance of these oracle bones, so the golden creation medicine was still very popular, after the oracle bone was discovered, the oracle bone began to be robbed by various forces, the value soared, and no one used it as a pharmaceutical ingredient anymore.
This was prompted by a collector named Wang Yirong in the late Qing Dynasty who discovered strange inscriptions on the keel during a drug purchase, which has since created the history of oracle bone research.
The founder of Oracle research
Wang Yirong was born in a family of officials and eunuchs at the end of the Qing Dynasty, he studied diligently when he was young, and when he grew older, he began to work as an official everywhere and tour the great rivers and mountains.
Wang Yirong is a calligraphy and painting antique enthusiast and collector, when he was an official all over the country, he always had to search for rare antiques and celebrity calligraphy and paintings in the local area, and he was also very interested in the writing engraved on bronze stone tools, and he was a master in the field of gold and stone research.
In 1899, Wang Yirong felt unwell, and he was familiar with medicine when he went to HenianTang in Beijing to grab medicine and bought a traditional Chinese medicine called keel.
The keel was a very ordinary Chinese medicine before Wang Yirong discovered the script, the price was only a few yuan or two, and the vendors who sold the keel could often see the traces of inscriptions on the keel, but they regarded it as a natural phenomenon, after all, almost no one could read the words thousands of years ago.
Hawkers only think that this is the trace of nature's etching, and some hawkers even grind the words on these keels in advance in order to sell the keels to make them have a good appearance.
Wang Yirong studied the golden stone very deeply, and when he found that the keel was obviously deliberately artificially carved marks, he suddenly felt that these traces might be the writings of an unknown dynasty thousands of years ago.
He was immediately intrigued by this, and if the meaning of the inscription on the oracle bone could be known, the discovery would be remembered throughout the ages.
Wang Yirong immediately asked everywhere about the whereabouts of the oracle bones, and through a Shandong antique dealer, he bought a large amount of 2 pieces of silver per piece, and received a total of about 1500 pieces of oracle bones.
With a huge amount of research material, Wang Yirong carefully compared the above texts and finally judged that the words came from the Shang Dynasty, a discovery that immediately caused a sensation in the Chinese and foreign archaeological circles, because Wang Yirong pushed the history of Chinese characters to the Yin Shang period in 1700 BC.
Wang Yirong's research did not last long, and only a year later, the Boxers invaded the Beijing-Tianjin region, and the imperialist powers immediately launched the Eight-Power Alliance to invade China in the name of helping the Qing government suppress it.
Soon after the capital was breached, Cixi fled in the name of Xi Hunt, in fact, he fled with the emperor, as a state son to supervise the wine, Wang Yirong was very disappointed in Cixi and the Qing government, when the coalition army broke through the Dongzhi Gate, Wang Yirong did not want to be a slave to the country, so he wrote a desperate letter in his own home in Dongcheng District, and committed suicide by taking poison with his family.
Oracle and Golden Creation Medicine
Wang Yirong's son escaped a disaster in other places, but after his father's death, the family was in debt, and in order to repay the debt, he sold these oracle bones to His father's former friend, Liu E, who also had a deep study of cultural relics.
Liu E obtained 1,500 pieces of oracle bones from Wang Yirong's son, and then purchased them in other places, and finally obtained more than 5,000 pieces of oracle bones, and after more in-depth research on these oracle bones, he concluded that Wang Yirong's judgment that the oracle bones came from the Shang Dynasty was true, and published the first book on the study of oracle bones, which for the first time comprehensively exposed the secrets of the oracle bones, which shocked the academic community again.
After western countries learned about it, they also began to buy and loot oracle bones in various places, so far, the British Museum has 3,000 pieces of oracle bones, Japan's Kyoto University has 20,000 pieces, and the United States, Canada and other countries also have some oracle bones.
In China, most of the oracle bones come from the 1928 Yin Ruins archaeology, which has found a total of 150,000 oracle bones over the decades, of which 50,000 were lost overseas.
In the study of these oracle bones, archaeologists found more than 5,000 words, recognized more than 1,000 of them, and 4,000 words are still to be studied later, and these words are no longer just images, but pictograms, which is an important step in the evolution of Chinese characters.
Internationally, it is recognized that Wang Yirong first discovered the oracle bone in 1899 as the first year of oracle bone research, it was Wang Yirong who turned the medicinal keel into a cultural relic oracle bone, his discovery made the oracle bone valued and protected, and his deeds became a beautiful talk in the field of oracle bone research.
In this way, just using these oracle bones as raw materials for jinchuang medicine is really a tyrannical thing, and it is easy to end up committing the crime of destroying cultural relics, and now that medical technology is more developed, there are many drugs that can replace jinchuang medicine.
Although they are not as miraculous as the efficacy of jinchuang medicine described in the novel, they are enough to treat, and people today no longer walk the rivers and lakes to fight and kill, and do not need such a rapid treatment method.
