"The Cave of Longling": The truth and wisdom behind the humor
The hit drama "Longling Grotto" has attracted the attention of countless audiences. In just three days, it has achieved good results on Douban and won unanimous praise from the audience. Hu Bayi's calmness, Wang Fatzi's broken mouth, and the sleek big gold tooth, the "iron triangle" composed of the three brought countless laughter to the audience. Compared with the previous work "Ghost Blowing the Lamp: The Essence of the Ancient City", the atmosphere of this drama is more relaxed, whether it is a thrilling and suspenseful plot or just the right amount of humor, it is eye-catching.
In the play, when the big gold tooth was confirmed to be suffering from malaria, Hu Bayi was in a hurry and picked up bat feces and stuffed it into his mouth. This seemingly absurd behavior actually has a scientific basis behind it. Bat feces, also known as luminous sand, is indeed a traditional Chinese medicine that has a certain effect on the treatment of malaria. Although there are more effective treatments for malaria in modern medicine, the place of bat droppings in ancient medicine is irreplaceable.
Bats, the creatures that are often misunderstood, aren't that scary. As long as they do not invade their habitat, they will not attack humans. Also, bats have poor eyesight, they prefer to live in a shady environment, coming out at night to hunt. Their feces, also known as luminous sand, are widely used in traditional Chinese medicine and have certain curative effects on a variety of diseases.
Of course, medicine has advanced a lot now, and many traditional medicines and treatments have been gradually phased out. However, that doesn't mean they don't have value. For medical research, these traditional drugs and treatments still have important reference value and research significance.
"Longling Grotto" not only brings endless laughter to the audience, but also conveys a kind of respect and awe for traditional culture. It makes us understand that neither people nor things can be judged simply by good or bad, useful or useless. Once you really understand it, you will find that each existence has its own unique value and meaning.
