Li Shizhen (1518-1593) was a Ming Dynasty native of Dongbi, a native of Huguang Prefecture (present-day Puchun, Hubei), who was born in a family of doctors. Father Li Yanwen, a famous doctor at that time, wrote "Four Diagnosis Invention", "Ai Ye Biography", "Ginseng Biography", "Acne Rash Treatment" and other books, the most famous of which is "Compendium of Materia Medica", and once did "Taiyi Official".
Li Shizhen has been intelligent and kind since childhood, and she has known many words with her father before she went to school. When he first entered school, Mr. Private School looked at the distant mountain surrounded by trees and came out of the upper link: "Distant sound across the forest." Although Li Shizhen was only eight years old at the time, he saw that Chaoxia was exceptionally bright, and the passing passengers had already boarded the journey, so he blurted out: "Mingxia is flying to the guest." The gentleman was greatly surprised and determined to take care of him doubly.
There was a medicine shop owner, there was a daughter under the knee, intelligent and beautiful, in order to choose a talented man for his daughter to marry, decided to use the drug name to join the marriage: "Jade leaf golden flower a root." Many of the suitors sighed. Among them, a young man surnamed Ma was loyal and loyal, but he was slightly indebted to Wencai, and he had to ask Li Shizhen for help. Li Shizhen, a young man who helped others, blurted out: "Cordyceps nine-fold skin." "The shop owner saw that Ma Gongzi was more handsome, and handed him to the upper league, limited to one day. This uplink is: "Water lotus half branch lotus see flowers shine water lotus." Ma Gongzi had to ask Li Shizhen to come out of the next link: "Mother of pearl holds pearls in a pearl jade bowl." The shop owner was very happy after seeing it, and then came out of the upper league "White-headed Man Morning Glory Ploughing The Land", limited to half a day. Ma Gongzi had no choice but to ask Li Shizhen three times, and In order to complete this marriage, Li Shizhen took a moment to think about it and used "Heavenly Fairy Acacia with Red Lady" as a next link. The shopkeeper was very satisfied and immediately agreed to the engagement.
The local Hao prefect knows a little about medicine. Once during the Mid-Autumn Festival, the wind blew the lantern out, it turned out that the lantern broke three holes, and the mouth occupied the upper link: "The lantern cage lamp, the paper (citrus) shell was originally windproof." Because he has not been able to continue the lower link, he had to find Li Shizhen to the lower link: "Drum frame drum, Chen Pi can not knock half under (Xia). ”
One day, Hao Zhifu went to visit Li Shizhen. After entering the courtyard, I couldn't help but admire when I saw the bamboo: "It is best to light bamboo leaves in the summer." Li Shizhen casually replied: "Typhoid fever is especially wonderful under chai hu." Hao Zhifu saw a few roses and sighed: "The roses are small, and the fragrance smells seven or eight or nine miles." Li Shizhen replied with a smile: "Wutongzi is big, and he takes fifty or sixty pills a day." Hao Zhifu was a foreigner, and seeing that Li Shizhen was so opportunistic, he also made a joint: "Officials all over the world do not choose to live and cook land for their families." Li Shizhen smiled and said, "Practitioners of medicine share peach kernels and almonds in the same vein." Hao Zhifu picked up the prescription that Li Shizhen had prescribed for him and said to himself: "The paper is white and black, and there are five tastes of sour, sweet, bitter and spicy." Li Shizhen said before the brush in his hand was put down: "The rod is hard and soft, and the dried and fried lilies are complete." In this way, the guest singer and the genus were right, immersed in Miaosi Yaxing, and did not feel that it was late, Hao Zhifu got up and resigned and went out, saying: "There are relatives everywhere in Shenzhou, regardless of the place of birth and familiarity." Li Shizhen smiled: "When the spring breeze comes, there are flowers, but the smell of herbs and wood." ”
Legend has it that one year, Li Shizhen went out to find a famous teacher and lived outside for 5 months. During this period, Li Shizhen's wife once wrote him a unique Chinese medicine love letter: "Once the betel nut is gone, it has been half a summer, shouldn't it be returned to Yahweh?" Whoever makes a gentleman, the parasitic grass wraps around his branches, so that the peony flowers in the old garden are ownerless. The concubine looked up at the Heavenly South Star, looked down at the honeysuckle vine, and looked forward to not seeing Bai Zhishu, and Ru was not exhausted! Gu Shiyun: 'Cardamom does not dispel hatred in the heart, and the lilac is empty and sad in the rain. 'Oh no! how! In this love letter, betel nut, half summer, angelica, gentleman, parasitic herb, peony, tiannanxing, honeysuckle vine, baizhi, huanglian, cardamom, and cloves are all traditional Chinese medicines. Li Shizhen's wife adopted a concatenated writing method to connect the names of Chinese medicines and express her longing for her husband Li Shizhen. Li Shizhen read his wife's love letter, felt a thousand emotions, and his heart also spontaneously arose feelings of missing his wife. He immediately wrote back: "The Red Lady is farewell, and the cinnamon branch incense has withered away!" A few thoughts of chrysanthemums are luxuriant, and they want to return to the aster. Nai Chang Shan road is far away, talc is difficult to walk, wait for calm ears! Qing don't make an acute child, scold me for being a cang ear. When the red flowers bloom in the next spring, I returned home with Ma Bo and Du Zhong, and when the time came, there was a gift of gold. "The Red Lady, Guizhi, Chrysanthemum, Aster, Changshan, Talc, Calm, Acute Zi, Cang Er zi, safflower, Ma Bo, and Eucommia written in Li Shizhen's love letters are also Chinese medicines. Li Shizhen's reply was delicately written and the meaning was lingering, pouring out the innocent and deep love between husband and wife. Interestingly, Li Shizhen wrote in the letter that "Red Lady" is a pun on Chinese medicine and "wife", which is very chic. Li Shizhen and his wife's two love letters are skillfully connected with 24 Chinese medicine names, which are not far-fetched, interesting and natural, and have unlimited fun to read. Li Shizhen's good story of "traditional Chinese medicine communication" with his wife has also been retained.
The famous doctor Li Shizhen not only cured the disease, but also cured the hearts of the people. As a famous doctor during the Ming Dynasty, Li Shizhen's medical skills were superb, and he once joined the Tai Hospital to see the Jiajing Emperor. Later, he traveled in all directions and became a traveling doctor in the rivers and lakes. Finally, based on his many years of experience and research results, he compiled the book "Compendium of Materia Medica", which made outstanding contributions to the medicine of later generations. Li Shizhen was not only named "Wenlin Lang" by the Ming Court, but also called "Medicine Saint" by later generations.
When Li Shizhen was serving as an imperial physician at the imperial court, Tan Lun, the head of the Bingbu Shangshu, asked him to see a doctor for Hu Zongxian, a sick soldier.com. Hu Zongxian fell ill during a long journey back and forth between Beijing and Zhejiang because of the military and national events in the southeast against the Wokou and the change of rice to mulberry in Zhejiang. Tan Lun felt sorry for him, so he invited Li Shizhen, a famous doctor at the time.
When Li Shizhen was seeing Hu Zongxian, he happened to meet Zhao Zhenji, the Inspector of Ying Tian, who had come to visit Hu Zongxian, and Zhao Zhenji, out of friendship with Hu Zongxian's colleagues, asked Li Shizhen to prescribe medicine, no matter what kind of medicinal materials he could find. In front of Zhao Zhenji, he prescribed a prescription that made Zhao Zhenji smile bitterly and felt quite embarrassed. Zhao Zhenji once suspected that Li Shizhen was deliberately playing with him. Only to see Li Shizhen's prescription read: The cause of the disease, the official residence is one product, the position is in charge of two provinces, the upper and lower elbows, the worries and ridicule. Prescription, rice a hundred ships, the same day to Zhejiang, foreign service.
The fundamental reason why Hu Zongxian fell ill was that Zhejiang had become a pot of porridge because of the change of rice to mulberry, and the affected people did not have enough grain to eat. Therefore, he came to Jiangsu to find Zhao Zhenji to borrow grain, but whether he could borrow grain or not he did not have a score in his heart, and the people affected by the disaster were about to run out of grain, and his illness worsened in a hurry. But he didn't tell anyone else about this, and Li Shizhen couldn't have known it beforehand. However, after judging the current situation, combined with the cause of Hu Zongxian's illness, he quickly figured out the origin of the matter. Therefore, when Zhao Zhenji came, in order to help Hu Zongxian and the people of Zhejiang, he prescribed this prescription that embarrassed Zhao Zhenji, and the purpose was to force Zhao Zhenji to lend grain to Hu Zongxian. Li Shizhen is indeed a human spirit, not only can cure diseases, but also insight into people's hearts. Then he immediately advised Zhao Zhenji to analyze the benefits of borrowing grain, which was equivalent to Zhao Zhenji's injection of cardiotonic agent. With this move, not only Zhao Zhenji, but also Hu Zongxian and Tan Lun who were present, both of them were stunned.
Hu Zongxian also asked Li Shizhen to go to Chun'an County to see the disaster-stricken people. Because after natural disasters, plagues often breed, and naturally famous doctors like Li Shizhen are needed to eliminate harm for the people. After Hai Rui knew that Li Shizhen had come, he asked Li Shizhen to see his old mother by the way, because his mother's anger had always been relatively large. Knowing that the sea mother said that she was not sick, she asked Li Shizhen to diagnose and treat her daughter-in-law. Hai Rui's mother has always been worried about the fact that her daughter-in-law cannot have a son, and when she met Li Shizhen, she wanted to ask Li Shizhen to prescribe a prescription that could give birth to a son. Li Shizhen quickly prescribed the right medicine and prescribed a prescription that made the Hairui family laugh. Li Shizhen's prescription was: let Harry sit facing his wife, look each other in the eye, and then smile.
Why did Li Shizhen prescribe this medicine to Hai Rui? Since he was a child to his marriage, Hai Rui has lived in the same room with his mother almost night and night, and when he is over forty years old, he still lies on the side of the mother's bed, and at dawn in the middle of the night, he waits for tea and defecation, and when his mother is occasionally unwell, he often sits in the morning. And the sea mother is extremely strict with her daughter-in-law, and Hai Rui has a face for her daughter-in-law. Such a depressing atmosphere, how can you give birth to a son? Li Shizhen saw the cause of the disease and tried her best to enhance the feelings between their husband and wife. Moreover, his method also worked immediately, And Hai Rui and his wife looked at each other for a while, and couldn't help but laugh, and the atmosphere of the family immediately became happy and harmonious. Not only that, Li Shizhen is a good person to do it to the end, privately advising Hai Rui's mother and asking her to urge Hai Rui to enhance her relationship with her daughter-in-law. Apparently, Harry's mother listened. Give Hai Rui and his daughter-in-law time alone, although Hai Rui did not have a son, but gave birth to two daughters.
It is easy to heal people' diseases, but it is difficult to heal people's hearts. Li Shizhen can not only cure diseases but also cure hearts!
