Chapter 418 Its all because the ancestors were too strong
When he was young, he always felt that there was no disease in the world that couldn't be cured. It was just that the doctors were not good enough. When he got older and knew more and more, he realized that most diseases couldn't be cured. They
Not even one tenth of the disease can be cured.
Many of the diseases that can be cured do not know the principles of treatment, but are just the experience summaries of countless doctors.
They are now clearly studying the cause, pathology, pathogenesis, external and internal manifestations of each disease, and then how to treat it, acupuncture or medication, how to acupuncture, which medicine to use, how much medicine to use, how to use the medicine, and what the patient's symptoms will be after taking the medicine.
What are the reactions, what measures should be taken if there are adverse reactions, what should be paid attention to, etc.
According to Song Zhong's estimation, it may take as little as three to five years or as many as ten years to complete the "Medical Classic". However, once the compilation is completed, it will definitely be the most advanced and complete masterpiece in the medical field in the world today.
There are hundreds of doctors in Zhao State, all of whom are well-known in the local area. Now they can only follow behind and help. Although there are disputes, no one complains. Everyone has only one goal, to make the "Medical Classic" come out as soon as possible.
"I don't know about this, but I heard from businessmen from the south that oranges grown in Huainan are called tangerines, and oranges grown in Huaibei are called tangerines. This should be the truth." Mo Feng took a sip of wine and said calmly.
He is not a researcher of traditional Chinese medicine, nor is he limited by inherent thinking.
"..." Song Zhong was stunned. He had not noticed such a simple truth, and oranges are indeed medicinal materials... Even orange peels, orange seeds, orange leaves, and orange petals are all medicinal materials...
Since oranges are so different between the north and the south, it is very reasonable for other Chinese medicines to be different.
"I didn't expect that I, who have been studying medicinal materials for decades, can't understand it as well as an outsider like you." Song Zhong sighed. In order to understand this, twenty or thirty doctors studied it day and night.
It took half a year to finally understand this matter, and now Mo Feng explained it in one sentence...
"Most medicinal materials shouldn't be as different as oranges, right?" Mo Feng put a piece of ginger in his mouth and asked after swallowing it. He didn't like ginger, but Song Zhong said that eating ginger in winter can keep warm and dispel the cold.
, after that, I would eat a little every day, not more, one or two tablets would be enough.
"Most of the differences are very small, but some differences are very big." Song Zhong nodded, "For example, the medicinal efficacy of Shangdang ginseng (not today's Codonopsis ginseng, Shangdang ginseng has disappeared in ancient times) is far superior to that of ginseng from other regions.
, Some time ago, Shangdang even discovered a ginseng with spiritual energy. According to our speculation, these medicinal materials containing spiritual energy are also effective on the powerful people in the extraordinary realm."
That ginseng plant was discovered in the mountains by Shangdang mountaineers. It is as thick as a child's arm and has a human shape. It has been growing in the Taihang Mountains for who knows how many years.
A merchant offered 500 gold to buy the mountain folk but they didn't sell them. He walked to Handan and insisted on giving them to Zhao Kuo. They are still kept in the palace.
Song Zhong wanted to cut it into slices for study several times when he saw it, but he never dared to speak to Zhao Kuo.
"Is this the only one you found?" Mo Feng asked curiously, "Although there are only a few of us people with vitality, there are only a few percent of them. There are also many war horses, cattle and so on who have vitality. General Yuan Hua
It is said that there are more big fish with vitality in the sea, and some can even smash warships. It stands to reason that there should also be many plants with spiritual energy."
The Mohists also conducted a lot of research on this aspect. According to the speculations of the sages, with the emergence of spiritual energy, the first things to change were soil and stones, followed by plants, and finally animals and people.
It's just that soil and stones are dead objects and cannot store spiritual energy, but they have suffered the least change.
"Maybe, I don't quite understand. Maybe the farmers know more about this." Song Zhong shook his head, "But these plants will be eaten even if they produce vitality, and only a few lucky ones will be left."
"Yes, but you can also grow your own medicinal materials." Mo Feng said.
"Growing medicinal materials? Medicinal materials grow in heaven and earth, how can they be grown by humans?" Song Zhong's face suddenly turned serious, he blew his beard and said with a glare.
"Is ginger a medicinal material?" Mo Feng picked up a piece of ginger and waved it in front of Song Zhong's eyes.
Song Zhong's face turned from green to black, and from black to white. He already knew what Mo Feng wanted to say, but he had no way to refute.
"Since ginger is a medicinal material, if ginger can be grown, it means that other medicinal materials can also be grown. It's just that you haven't found a way." Mo Feng put the ginger into his mouth and said loudly.
He is not a doctor, and he does not have the old dogmas passed down by doctors hundreds or thousands of years ago, and what his ancestors said may not always be right.
Changes in nature are not enough to fear, ancestors are not enough to follow the law, and human words are not enough to show sympathy.
If you don't give it a try, how will you know it's wrong?
"You're right, maybe medicinal herbs can really be grown." Song Zhong took a deep breath and gave a solemn salute, "When I get back, I'll let someone try it."
"Don't forget to treat me to a drink after you succeed." Mo Feng said with a smile.
"Definitely." Song Zhong nodded, "By the way, didn't the king also ask you to compile the "Gongdian"? How is the progress?"
"It's just as different as the "Medical Classic". It's not a lie that craftsmen are called "hundreds of craftsmen". Broadly speaking, witch doctors, musicians and musicians all belong to the category of "hundreds of craftsmen". The remaining carpenters, stonemasons, shipwrights, bridge builders, and blacksmiths
, coppersmiths, even shoemakers, umbrella makers... almost all walks of life can be counted among the hundreds of craftsmen."
"In addition to practical applications, we also need to improve the theoretical basis to let everyone know what is happening and why. However, most people only know that it has always been like this and do not understand the principles. In this regard, we descendants have no
Someone who can be as good as one-tenth of Mozi is really an embarrassment to our ancestors." Mo Feng said helplessly.
It is too difficult for the Mohist family. They must inherit the ideas of the Mohist family, inherit the technology of the Gong family, and have the martial arts of the Mo Xia. No one in the entire Mohist family, including Mo Feng, can meet the requirements.
To be precise, from the establishment of the Mohist family to the present, Mozi is the only one.
After Confucius, there were Yan Hui, Zengzi, Zisizi, and Mencius who inherited his ideas. After Mozi, some people inherited his ideas, some inherited his techniques, and some inherited his martial arts, but no one could inherit all three.
Therefore, the decline of the Mohist family is natural. Sometimes being too strong is not a good thing.
If Mozi had only chosen one of the three, the Mohist school would never have declined as it did now, but it would also not have been able to dominate the world as it did back then.
"It's all because our ancestors were too strong." Sometimes, Mo Feng would sigh in despair.
Mo Feng's goal is to become the second person after Mo Zi. At present, there is no hope. In terms of thinking, technology, and martial arts, the only thing he has a chance to surpass Mo Zi is martial arts, but now he is too busy every day to keep his feet on the ground.
There is no time to practice martial arts at all.
As for the others, although there are some who have better talents, there is still a big gap compared with him, let alone the revitalization of the Mohist family.
