It’s a medicine pot

Xuan Hu Ji Shi

Apricot grove is often called Chinese medicine, and Xuan Hu Ji Shi also refers to those who practice Chinese medicine. For many years, Laojiu has only known what it is, but has no idea why. A few days ago, I asked some friends about it, but I couldn't answer it and was very embarrassed. Because of the quality of the literature, you will wake up.

Xinglin:

According to literature records, Xinglin was named after Dong Fengshi in the late Han Dynasty. "Taiping Guangji·Biography of Immortals" records:

"Dong Feng, whose name is Junyi, is also a noble official. During the reign of the First Lord Wu,... Feng lived in the mountains and did not farm. He treated people every day and did not take any medicine. For those who recovered from serious illness, they planted five apricot trees and one for those who were mildly ill. Over the years, more than 100,000 apricot trees were planted, and they became dense forests, causing hundreds of birds and beasts in the mountains to play under them, and no grass grew there. Just like Yun Zhiye, when the apricots were ripe, he built a straw barn in the forest and told people at the time: "Those who want to buy apricots do not need to pay tribute, but just put a container of grain in the barn and go get a container of apricots yourself. go. "Often when someone leaves a small amount of grain but takes away a large amount of apricots, a group of tigers in the forest come out and roar to chase them away. They are so frightened that they rush to pick up the apricots. The roadside overturns. When they arrive at home, they measure the apricots to see how many grains there are. Or if someone steals the apricots, the tigers will He drove him home and gnawed him to death. When his family found out that he had stolen apricots, they sent him back and thanked him, but they gave him some grain of apricots every year. Dendrobium... has been in the world for more than three hundred years, and its appearance is like that of a person in his thirties."

Dong Feng was praised for his good deeds, and later generations called Xinglin a traditional Chinese medicine. This is also true.

Xuan Hu Ji Shi:

Xuan Hu Ji Shi is an ancient saying praising doctors for saving people from illness.

"Book of the Later Han Dynasty·Fang Shu Biography·Fei Changfang Biography" records:

"Fei Changfang was from Runan (now southwest of Shangcai, Henan) and was once a city governor. There is an old man selling medicine in the market. He hangs a pot at the head of the shop. When he reaches the market, he often jumps into the pot. No one in the market sees him, except the eldest son who sees him upstairs. He goes to worship him again and offers preserved wine. Weng knew that the chief minister meant his god, so he said, "I will come tomorrow. I will visit you again on the first day of the long house. Weng then went into the pot with you. I saw that the jade hall was beautiful, and there was plenty of wine and delicacies in it." After drinking, Weng Yue didn't listen to what he said, so he went up to the Marquis's room and said, "I am an immortal and I have done something wrong. I have to go now. Can I follow you downstairs?" I drank less and said goodbye to you... The eldest son then wanted to seek the Tao and followed him into the mountains. Weng Fu said to him, "You can teach me, and you can cure all kinds of diseases."

It is said that there was a Hugong (around 2nd century AD). His name is not known, but he was called Hugong. "It is said that Hu Gong Xie Yuan, a native of Liyang, sells medicine in the market. The price is the same, and all diseases will be cured. The speaker said: If you take this medicine, you will vomit something, and it will be cured on a certain day. Everything will be cured. Collect money every day Tens of thousands of people were given to the poor, hungry and cold people in the city." From this point of view, Hu Weng is a hermit doctor who possesses medical skills and is willing to do good. Because a pot is often hung as a medical sign in the place where medicines are provided for diagnosis and treatment, he is called the Pot Man. There are many myths and stories about him in folklore. Hu Weng once taught medical skills to Fei Changfang. Although the records refer to legends, if you take off the cloak of mythology, it is not difficult to know that Hu Gong and Fei Changfang were famous doctors in the Eastern Han Dynasty. The deeds of the Hu Gong are widely spread. Doctors in the past dynasties almost all used the "Happiness of Hanging Pot" as a congratulation when practicing medicine, or hung gourds in the clinic as a sign of medicine. Today, many pharmacies, pharmaceutical factories, etc. still use this method. .

Laojiu believes that "pot" is suspected to be derived from "gourd" and "hu" because they have the same pronunciation. In later generations, some pharmacies used gourds as their guise, and some pharmaceutical factories used gourds as their trademarks. There was also a saying that "you don't know what kind of medicine is sold in the gourds."

Doctors are benevolent and use their medical skills to help all living beings. People in the world call them this, and there is a saying that the hanging pot helps the world. Its classic origin comes from this.
