The old Chinese doctor Chai Jianhua told Nan Yangsheng: "During the civil war between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party, your grandfather and I secretly took off the national army uniform and went to Xinyang. My father opened a Chinese medicine store in Xinyang. This pharmacy once opened in the early Republic of China Great development. The front store retails Chinese herbal decoction pieces, pills, pills, ginseng and swallow ears, etc., and produces medicinal materials in the back field, dismantling and wholesale. Self-made plasters and pills, stick to quality, and are famous in the local area for the production of excellent medicinal materials and processing of decoction pieces There is a set of strict store rules and regulations for the net selection, soaking, frying, calcining, grinding, prescription, formula, proofreading, and drug distribution of the decoction pieces. The pharmacy staff is responsible for the production of slices, ingredients and other procedures. All can be skilled in operation. For example, the knife cutter is divided into the first knife and the second knife, which are arranged in sequence. The staff of the second knife must go through years of training and strict tests to be competent for the work of the first knife. Usually, you can pay at a 5% discount on the price when buying medicine , 10% off on the first and fifteenth day of the Lunar New Year. This is relatively rare in the industry, relying on the authenticity of the medicinal materials. In the past, patients would come to the pharmacy with prescriptions to pick up medicines. It’s over. My father broke with this tradition, and set up sitting Chinese medicine practitioners in the pharmacy, inviting some old local Chinese medicine doctors to sit in the classroom for consultation, and to see the doctor first and then get the medicine for the patients.”

Chai Jianhua's father is a doctor of traditional Chinese medicine. When he was seventeen or eighteen years old, he studied medicine with a doctor in the village. At that time, the family conditions were very poor, and he practiced medicine while working for others. Sometimes he barely manages to pay for three meals, but insists on charging only a small fee for the patient. And as long as a patient comes to him, no matter what he is doing, he will stop immediately to treat the patient. Once, a pregnant woman in the village had a high fever. When the family of the pregnant woman found him, he was taking a nap. When he heard that someone was looking for him, he ran straight to the pregnant woman's house without putting on his shoes. The pregnant woman had a fever from noon to dusk. He was in a hurry, and together with the pregnant woman's family, he boiled water and cooked porridge and medicine. After five o'clock in the afternoon, the pregnant woman's fever subsided.

The old Chinese doctor Chai Jianhua's face was red when he talked about this incident, obviously he was proud of his father.

The setting sun dyed half of the sky red at the end of the horizon, and the rural evening in the afterglow had a particularly serene atmosphere.

Sunlight penetrated into the pharmacy through the window, and immediately the whole pharmacy was filled with a faint, warm red light, which made people feel a sense of warmth in their hearts.

But Chai Jianhua, an old Chinese doctor, suddenly felt heavy.

He told Nan Yangsheng: "Shortly after the founding of New China, the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China drafted the "Opinions on Utilizing, Restricting, and Transforming Capitalist Industry and Commerce" based on the investigation of the United Front Work Department of the Central Committee. Later, the All-China Federation of Industry and Commerce held a member representative meeting. Conveyed the general line of the Communist Party of China during the transition period and the policy of socialist transformation of capitalist industry and commerce. On September 2, 1954, the 223rd Administrative Meeting of the Central People's Government Administration Council passed the "Provisional Regulations on Public-Private Partnership". 1955 In the second half of the year, many large and medium-sized cities saw the trend of public-private partnerships in capitalist industry and commerce. At the beginning of 1956, there was a climax of socialist transformation across the country, and capitalist industry and commerce realized public-private partnerships in the entire industry. Production data was allocated and used by the state; In addition, they no longer exercise their powers as capitalists, and gradually transform themselves into self-reliant laborers in labor.”

The old Chinese doctor said that the pharmacy opened by his father has become state-run. Fortunately, he was not deprived of property, nor was he affected by political movements. He just changed from a private owner to a pharmacy employee, and his main job was to diagnose and treat patients.

Chai Jianhua, an old Chinese doctor, smiled and said to Nanyangsheng: "Just now, I told you that my father once treated a pregnant woman with a high fever in the village. Unexpectedly, the husband of this pregnant woman was a Communist Party member. His name was Liu Dakang. At that time, Liu Dakang He is the head of this village. Under his arrangement and care, my father is safe and sound."

During the "plague" epidemic, the old Chinese doctor's father also helped the village health center diagnose and treat patients. At that time, there were several patients with fever in the health center, and the people in the village were in panic, but he refused to listen to his family's dissuasion and went to the health center to help. The old doctor's mother said that she couldn't buy a mask at that time, so she had to sew a "mask" with a piece of cotton cloth for him to wear.

It was at this time that the father of the old Chinese doctor began to teach Chai Jianhua a lot of knowledge about Chinese medicine, and told him about the relationship between ancient and modern celebrities and Chinese medicine.

The old Chinese medicine doctor still remembers the little Chinese medicine poem that his father asked him to recite:

 

Seeing, hearing and asking Qie Shi benevolence,

Yin-yang and five elements connect the present and the past.

May there be no sickness in the world,

He Xi medicine shelf is full of dust.

 

Travel through the corridor of history and look back at traditional Chinese culture: poetry and songs, calligraphy and painting, bronze celadon, etc. have a long history and are full of beauty. Of course, there is another kind of culture that is deeply rooted and leafy, brilliant and eye-catching, and it is the traditional Chinese medicine health preservation culture. Traditional Chinese medicine health culture has thousands of years of practical experience. It brings together many methods of disease prevention and fitness for working people in our country, and integrates the academic essence of Confucianism, Taoism, Buddhism and various schools of thought. It can be called a tree full of strong oriental mystery. tree of wisdom.

Under the teaching of his father, the old Chinese doctor realized that China has higher ethical requirements for doctors since ancient times. Doctors must have the heart of cutting shares, hang the pot to help the world, and great doctors are sincere. This reflects the concepts and ethical requirements of revering life and respecting doctors in traditional Chinese culture. Chinese medicine is a big book of life, all-encompassing and all-encompassing.

Chai Jianhua, an old Chinese doctor, said with deep emotion to Nanyangsheng: "If you understand Chinese medicine, you will understand life. In life, if you are not a good looker, you will be a good doctor. Doctors are benevolent. When you are an official, you should implement benevolent governance; To practice medicine, one should practice benevolence. Fan Zhongyan's example not only greatly improved the social status of doctors, but also encouraged a group of scholars who are determined to help the world and the people. The disaster in the world is nothing more than disease. The Chinese nation has been able to reproduce until now, The influence of Confucian tradition is profound, and the merits of doctors are immeasurable. A batch of good doctors have taken the Confucian thought of benevolence to the extreme with the concept and mind of pushing others and sacrificing themselves to save others. Until modern China, many people with lofty ideals People with benevolence aim to save people from fire and water, and they also started to study medicine, such as Sun Yat-sen, Lu Xun, Guo Moruo, etc., and more people chose this profession and never left it for life. The perfect combination of Confucianism and medicine finally created It is a treasure house of extensive and profound Chinese medicine culture in our country."

Nan Yangsheng fell into deep thought.
