Live Huaxia: Opening dialogue with an emperor through the ages

That night.

In the study room, the lights are bright.

At this time, Gao Yang was flipping through the "Compendium of Materia Medica", looking at the hand-painted vegetation and detailed annotations, although some of them were obviously exaggerated, more like hearsay.

However, its flaws do not hide its merits. As a master of herbalism, it is still a great classic.

No matter how later generations comment, it is impossible to turn decay into magic, and it is impossible to turn magic into decay.

It's just that he didn't expect that he would return to Daming so soon.

At that time, it should be the period when Emperor Jiajing, who had not been in court for 20 years, was in power. It can be said that it is really strange to be an emperor like this.

At the same time, it is said that Li Shizhen and Hai Rui, the No. [-] Qingliu of the Ming Dynasty, are old friends.

Perhaps, you can also see Zhang Juzheng, the first assistant of the Ming Dynasty, and the first corrupt official Yan Songge who is opposite to him.
Many people, many things are intertwined unconsciously.

Right and wrong, I am afraid only God knows.

One flower, one world, one grass, one outline, perhaps, only those flowers and trees have been seen before.

The next day.

As the sun shone, Gao Yang boarded the flight to Jinling.

Because this time I need to talk to Li Shizhen, I always need to understand the current situation of some domestic Chinese medicine.

After all, a layman who doesn't know anything has seen a master of medicine for thousands of years, so he can't talk about his family's gossip. Obviously, only by understanding Chinese medicine can he better understand Li Shizhen.

When Mr. Lin heard about this, he recommended him a very experienced TCM physician, Professor Sun Rui.

When the other party heard about his intentions, he readily agreed, and only then did he have this visit to Jinling Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine.

On the plane, Gao Yang looked at the dazzling high sky outside the window, feeling inexplicably out of touch with reality.

Some classics about Li Shizhen that I checked last night recorded that after he finished writing "Compendium of Materia Medica" in his later years.

He took this classic work of grass and trees after nearly 30 years of spring and autumn, changed its draft three times, and ran around in contact with publishing matters.

It's a pity that those who are willing to publish the 880 edition for him do not have enough money, and rich publishers are not very willing to publish such a herbal classic.

After all, in Daming at that time, novels were the mainstream.

For this reason, Li Shizhen also came to Jinling to look for engraved booksellers at the suggestion of his friend Wang Shizhen.

After all, hard work paid off, and he finally started the publication of the single-print edition of "Compendium of Materia Medica" with the generous donation of Hu Yinglong, a wealthy businessman in Jinling.

Unfortunately, by the time this painstaking masterpiece was published, Li Shizhen had already died of illness and did not see the actual publication of "Compendium of Materia Medica"...

Perhaps, this time, traveling through hundreds of years to visit Li Shizhen and choose a modern version of "Compendium of Materia Medica" may be the most suitable gift.

In the rush of thoughts, the voice broadcast of the plane rang again.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the plane is descending. Please return to your original seat, fasten your seat belt, and adjust the seat back to the normal position..."

Jinling City with a long history has arrived.

It was the twelfth lunar month of winter, and the Jinling Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine was a bit bleak, but the environment was peaceful and beautiful. Unknown plants and vegetation could be seen everywhere, presumably many of them were various herbs planted by the professors.

The moment he saw Professor Sun Rui from a distance, Gao Yang also felt that the other party was much younger than the photo. Although he was over fifty years old, he had white hair and a childlike face, giving off a tough feeling like a pine tree.

"Professor Sun, hello, Jiu Yang"

Gao Yang took the initiative to say hello, his tone full of respect.

In this regard, Professor Sun Rui's face also showed approval when he saw this young man who was neither arrogant nor impetuous like a breeze.

He nodded, then said.

"Gao Yang, I always saw it on TV before, but I finally saw a real person."

After exchanging pleasantries, the two also walked towards the depths of Professor Su's Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine.

Along the way, Sun Rui introduced the latest development of traditional Chinese medicine to Gao Yang, and showed the current research progress on the cultivation and planting of medicinal herbs.

In the greenhouse of the herb planting experiment, Gao Yang looked at the herbs planted in front of him. In his eyes, he couldn't help but think of a very famous exclamation on the Internet, and couldn't help asking Professor Sun Rui.

"Professor Sun, I once saw such a sentence on the Internet, saying that Chinese medicine will die because of Chinese medicine. I don't know if it also reveals the plight that Chinese medicine is facing today besides scaremongering."

Hearing this, Professor Sun Rui's eyes moved slightly, and a sense of helplessness appeared in the deep wrinkles on his face.

He didn't answer directly, but stretched out his hand to pull out a piece of rhizome-shaped herb from the soil, which was yellow-brown in color and exuded a faint and unique aroma.

At this time, Professor Sun Rui introduced the rhizome herbs to Gao Yang.

"You may not know it, but you should have heard of this medicinal material. It is called Angelica, and some people call it Gangui."

"Actually, in the use of medicinal herbs in Chinese medicine, just like we eat cucumbers, the taste of the head and tail is different, and the medicinal effects of different parts of angelica are different. Angelica head stops bleeding, angelica body nourishes blood, and angelica tail breaks blood. They should not be used indiscriminately."

"In the past, when using angelica, you had to distinguish the parts, and the money was calculated very carefully. Now when I go to dispense the medicine, the person in the pharmacy told me that the angelica grows very big. I will give you a whole root, and nothing will happen if you eat it all. , Of course, there is no curative effect, similar to eating carrots."

Having said that, he couldn't help sighing.

"Hey, Chinese medicine is not lonely in traditional Chinese medicine, but stuck in inheritance and innovation."

"Actually, it's always right and wrong that Chinese medicine has become lonely. I'm afraid that if I go out to practice medicine and treat diseases under the name of an old Chinese doctor, I will probably be branded a quack doctor and a liar by today's young people."

Hearing this, Gao Yang also felt the sadness in the other party's tone.

In the new era of rapid development, especially the huge impact of Western medicine, Chinese medicine, a knowledge that has been passed down for thousands of years, seems to be facing a severe test.

Sometimes, I can't help but feel that Western medicine is like a young man, full of vigor and creativity, while Chinese medicine is like an old man, returning to basics and containing ancient wisdom.

Thinking of this, he also said to Professor Sun Rui, who was a little depressed.

"Chinese medicine is actually the philosophy of Chinese people in the field of medicine. What we advocate is the complementarity between man and nature, to find a balance."

"Different from the daily use of a knife in Western medicine, sometimes we may only need a man to solve the problem. This unique charm will eventually be accepted by people."

Angelica returns to Angelica, Huaxia Medicine, will never be lonely.

Hearing Gao Yang's words, Professor Sun Rui's eyes also flashed a little moved.

He didn't expect that a young man who didn't understand Chinese medicine at all would have such a deep understanding of Chinese medicine, and he couldn't help admiring it.

"Yes, Chinese medicine is a native of China. The unique understanding of medicine, starting from the "Huangdi Neijing", has experienced thousands of years of development, and I don't believe it is inferior to Western medicine."

"The path of Chinese medicine is definitely not completely westernized. It is like the Westernization Movement. After all, it will fail to follow the cat and draw the tiger, and you still have to find your own research method~"

Having said this, Professor Sun Rui's gaze was ignited again - a flame.

It is a fire of inheritance, a fire of expectation.
