Sun Simiao, revered by posterity as the "Medicine King", was a Tang Dynasty medicinal scientist and Taoist priest.
Isn't it a bit dazzling to see the word "Taoist"? This is like an academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and Mr. Feng Shui.
In fact, in ancient times, it was very common to be both a doctor and a Taoist priest, and there was nothing strange about it. In the early days, Daoist alchemists accumulated a lot of medical knowledge... And chemistry knowledge.
In fact, Sun Simiao knew how to make gunpowder, and he recorded in the article "Danjing Neifu Sulfur Method" that mixing sulfur, saltpeter, and charcoal into powder can be made into gunpowder.

In the field of traditional Chinese medicine, Sun Simiao is a god-like existence, and his research on Chinese herbal medicine, in gynecology and pediatrics, is regarded by some as the grandfather of gynecological pediatrics.
Sun Simiao also pays special attention to health care, he may be the first person in China to maintain health, it is said that he lived for more than 140 years!
Why can he live for such a long time, Sun Simiao's advice is to "snap less" and be an ascetic like a Taoist (he himself is a Taoist).
Sun Simiao's "Preparation for Emergencies" says:
"The Law of the Imperial Daughter can be leaked again in January, one year old and twenty-four, all two hundred years old, colored, disease-free, and if it is medicated, it can live forever."
"Leaking" 24 times a year, that is, twice a month, is really uncomfortable for the boys who are exuberant. To live two hundred years, give up early!
Sun Simiao also has some strange theories. There are requirements for the time and weather of the popping, such as windy, rainy, thunderstorm weather is absolutely not to be snapped, otherwise it is not only harmful to the body, the children born may have disabilities, or will die early, or will be unkind and filial (can also affect the ideology and morality?). )
I'm not talking nonsense, take a look:
"The law of the royal daughter, the rendezvous should avoid the day of the ding, and the strings look obscure, the wind, rain, fog, cold, summer, thunder and lightning, the heavens and the earth are obscure, the sun and the moon are thin, the rainbow moves, if the royal daughter is unlucky, the man is a hundred times worse, the woman is sick, the son will be stupid and stubborn, dumb and deaf, blind, sick and short-lived, not filial piety."
As mentioned earlier, Sun Simiao is the grandfather of gynecological pediatrics. Why, The grandmaster has a unique skill, he can make the original female fetus into a male fetus!
There is an acupuncture prescription in the "Preparation for Emergencies":
"The harmony of yin and yang, the sense of two qi phases, and the yin of yang are yin, and it is to have a wife, while the three yins will have many daughters." However, in the second month of pregnancy, the name is the first ointment, and the essence is formed in the cell. As for March, the name is the first birth, the blood vein does not flow, the pictogram changes, there is no fixed instrument, the object is seen, it is not divided between men and women, so those who are not yet three months old can take the medicine to turn it around, so that the male and female are also born. ”
Notice the last sentence "You can take the medicine to turn it over, so that the male also." A "turn" word is simply too vivid and vivid, just like the "noisy" word of "red apricot branches in spring".
It is this "turn" word that makes my meager knowledge of biology textbook XY chromosomes also "turn" away...
There are many ways for Sun Simiao's grandfather to give birth to a man, in addition to the above medicinal formulas, there are other treasure books. This formula is even stronger, and the first pregnancy can make her pregnant with a male fetus. It is not a female fetus to a male fetus, it is an open book exam to fill in the answer directly.
"Salvia peony white gum Bai Shu Bai Zi Ren Licorice root (two or two each) Ginseng Dried ginger (30 baht each) Evodia Tangerine peel Angelica (one or two eight baht each) Bai Zhi Guan Miao (burnt ash, one or two each) Dried ground yellow (one or two halves) turnip
On the nineteen flavors for the end, honey and pills, such as Wuzi large, wine to take ten pills, day again, slightly add to twenty pills.
He also took one piece of original silkworm, and the well flower water served it, and the day was three. ”
That's right, original silkworm is the pulled by silkworm larvae! This is really a traditional Chinese medicine, which can dispel wind and dehumidification, cure rheumatism and paralysis, rubella itching, head wind headache and so on.
There are more ridiculous things below.
He also took a bow and crossbow string, and took the woman's left arm, and tied it to his waist, and went away for a hundred days.
He also took one or two male yellows, and the sacs were held with them. For women, bring female yellow.
The original silkworm, male yellow these good evil or a medicine, please ask the bow and crossbow string, this is to go to the battlefield? What is this witchcraft?
He also took an axe and placed it under the mother's bed, still tied the blade downwards, so as not to be known. If you do not believe, when the chicken holds the egg, according to this, it is placed under the basket, and the son of the chicken is all male.
Take an axe and put it under the maternity bed? I'll make a... This was even more excessive, and he ran more and more towards witchcraft, and Sun Simiao really did not forget his old profession, The Taoist.
We always say that Chinese medicine has been 5,000 years and is broad and profound. I will not comment on that. Please take a moment to really look at those TCM texts, then you will definitely understand how important it is for TCM to "remove the false and the true" and "remove the dross and take the essence".
