Chapter 005, The Five Stones of the Merry of the Famous, Talking about the Fleas in Wei and Jin
If you say you have lice on your body, you are praising you or scolding you. Do you believe it?
There are really people who believe it, of course, not Ah Q, but celebrities from the Wei and Jin Dynasties. The Wei and Jin Dynasties were a wonderful transition between the strong Han and the prosperous Tang Dynasty in Chinese history. The scholars of the Wei and Jin Dynasties like to talk about the mysterious way, and the style of the Wei and Jin Dynasties was self-admiring and unrestrained. It is known in history as the style of the Wei and Jin Dynasties.
For example, Liu Ling, one of the Seven Sages of the Bamboo Forest, is the most famous drunken prank in Chinese history. He carried a coffin and was drunk and dreaming. He claimed that he was buried wherever he was drunk. He was often naked when he was drunk. Some people really couldn't bear to say anything and asked a few questions. Liu Ling retorted: "The heaven and earth are my house, and the houses are my pants, why are you putting it into my pants?"
The world is the dome of my residence, and the house is the clothes I wear. Why did you come into my pants? Is there anyone who speaks like this? If others say this, he must be an old hooligan, but Liu Ling is different. He is a famous cultural person, which shows that cultural hooligans have existed since ancient times.
The one who matches Liu Ling's naked body is Wang Xizhi's belly-baring belly. Jin Taiwei Xi Jian wanted to choose a son-in-law among the sons of Prime Minister Wang Dao, which was also a political marriage between ancient nobles. The daughter of the Taiwei was a famous beauty. When the Wang family heard that the Taiwei came to the house, they were all reserved. Only Wang Xizhi didn't care at all. He lifted his clothes and exposed his belly, and sat on the east bed to eat snacks. As a result, Xi Taiwei chose Wang Xizhi and thought he was a good son-in-law, so he didn't know if Miss Xi was happy?
Wang Xizhi's freedom and freedom are more restrained than Liu Ling's wildness. After all, Liu Ling exposed her whole body while Wang Xizhi only exposed her belly. So what's going on with the lice mentioned above?
The lice in the Wei and Jin Dynasties were very famous, and the most famous one was the lice on the body of Wang Meng, a minister who was both civil and military in the Former Qin Dynasty. It is said that when Wang Meng had not made a fortune in his early years, he met the general Huan Wen who entered the pass, and chatted with him while catching lice from his body, as if no one was around. This is the allusion of "talking about lice", but at that time there were more than Wang Meng who talked about lice at that time. If you examine historical materials, you can catch a large number of celebrities from the Wei and Jin Dynasties.
In addition to celebrities from the Wei and Jin Dynasties, there is another great man in modern times who also left a similar allusion, that is Mr. *. According to the recollection of American journalist Snow, when he and * were talking in a cave in Yan'an, they often saw Chairman Mao unbuttoning his belt to catch lice, his expression remained unchanged as if no one was around.
Later, someone posted this legend saying that Chairman Mao also had the style of Wei and Jin Dynasties, but the facts may not be true. It is well known that the conditions in Yan'an during the War of Resistance Against Japan were difficult, and it was not worth making a fuss about Chairman Mao's clothes. After the founding of the country, there would be no more lice on the great leader, otherwise the people of the whole country would not agree. However, the celebrities of the Wei and Jin Dynasties were different. The above mentioned lice were all high-ranking officials and nobles, and the living conditions and hardship were not mentioned at all. Moreover, the luxurious life of the nobles in the Wei and Jin Dynasties was famous.
Some people said that this was a natural and straightforward style among the scholars and officials at that time. The style of the Wei and Jin Dynasties seemed to make sense, but it was very problematic to examine it carefully. Traditional Chinese aristocrats were different from those of the French medieval aristocrats. They did not have the habit of using perfume to cover up body odor without taking a bath, and they paid great attention to health preservation. The famous health preservation book "Huang Ting Jing" was written in the Wei and Jin Dynasties, saying that the celebrities at that time did not advocate health preservation but did not pay attention to hygiene. Then again, whether there is a demeanor has a relationship with whether there is lice? If you want demeanor, there are ways to do it.
So what's going on? Misunderstandings are all misunderstandings! Lice have nothing to do with demeanor, but closely related to another thing, this kind of thing is called Wushi San.
Wushi Powder is a prescription made of five-color stone fat as medicine bait and grind it into powder. It is said that it will last forever after being treated. It was very popular in the Wei and Jin Dynasties. Among the nobles and celebrities, if you didn’t take Wushi Powder, you would be embarrassed to go out to meet people! Has anyone taken Wushi Powder achieved immortality? There is no record in history books, but why did people at that time still take it? Because Wushi Powder is indeed effective.
After taking Wushi Powder, the whole body becomes hot but does not sweat a lot. Therefore, when wearing thin clothes in cold weather, the large sleeves look very chic. There is another medicinal effect, that is, after taking it for a long time, the skin on the whole body will become very delicate, the skin is tender and tender, and the flesh looks very good and sensitive. The problem arises, that is, the clothes cannot be washed frequently, and you should try not to wear new clothes.
The older the silk, the softer and more comfortable it is. It is most suitable for people who take Wushisan for a long time. In ancient times, the clothes were washed with soap and soap. After washing, the fabric was very hard and felt similar to cardboard. It took a while to become soft again. This was very uncomfortable to wear on the body. Therefore, celebrities who took Wushisan for a long time could only try not to wash clothes. Over time, there were lice in the clothes. During the Wei and Jin Dynasties, light old clothes became a fashion when talking.
So when a celebrity has lice on his body, it means that he wears soft and unwashed clothes because he took Wushi Powder. Taking Wushi Powder for a long time is not only fashionable but also popular among the world. Therefore, if you have lice on a person, you praise others rather than curse others. The problem is understood here.
When celebrities in Wei and Jin dynasties took Wushi Powder, they actually had a secret effect. This was the main reason why celebrities were attracted to this very expensive prescription at that time. As for the effect of Wushi Powder - Professor Qu did not say it in class.
The above content was told by Mr. Qu Zhengbo, a famous professor at Beijing University of Traditional Chinese Medicine, in class. When he heard this allusion of lice, the students laughed, and Mei Xi couldn't help laughing. This was not an ancient literary and historical class, but a traditional Chinese medicine class, but Professor Qu's lectures were very interesting. The boring classic traditional Chinese medicine theory course was often interspersed with various literary and historical allusions. Professor Qu has a famous view: Traditional Chinese medicine cannot be learned by merely as medical skills, and does not understand the traditional cultural connotation of each era in China, nor can he truly learn Chinese medicine well. Mei Xi loves to listen to Mr. Qu's lectures the most, and has never missed a single session.
...
It was 2008, and the Beijing Olympics had just been held. The day after listening to Professor Qu’s allusion to teach Wushi San, Mei Xi, a second-year student at Beijing University of Traditional Chinese Medicine, learned the most important effect of Wushi San, which was in Professor Qu’s prescription laboratory.
Mr. Qu was furious and shouted at his granddaughter Qu Yimin: "Who told you to give Zhang Xiaoning the prescription of Wushi San? This prescription would be a big disaster if I didn't know that he couldn't match the medicinal materials and could not produce them on a large scale, and I really wanted to beat you up, you would be too troublesome! ... What you learn medicine is to save the world, not show off!"
Qu Yimin now has shy and timid eyes in her beautiful eyes. I saw Mei Xi beside me. However, Mr. Qu didn't take this trick and still scolded her so that she couldn't raise her head. She could only pout and said weakly: "Isn't it what grandpa said? If you have the conditions, I want to try to restore the legendary thousand-year-old prescriptions for research, understand the efficacy of the medicine, infer the medical situation and social life at that time."
Qu Zhengbo was still angry: "I said this, but does it have anything to do with Wushi Powder? You gave Zhang Xiaoning the prescription for Wushi Powder, but didn't tell me. If this kid hadn't called me today and asked me where I could get red stone fat? I didn't know that he had obtained the prescription and took away a lot of red stone fat from my laboratory... This incompetent thing has the ability to make money and tolerate those mistresses, so he can do not take medicine!"
Professor Qu's words were mixed. Qu Yimin blinked her big eyes and didn't understand it very well. She asked strangely: "Grandpa, what do you mean? He is leaving the prescription of Wushi San. Why do you scold him for having mistresses? There are more than one. Is this true?"
Qu Zhengbo: "How do I know what is true or false? What kind of person is good for him? Either take it out to harm him or use it yourself. Do you know the effect of the medicine?..." When he said this, the old man stopped and turned to angrily and said, "You don't need your help here, Meixi is enough. Go and do your own business. I'll get angry when I see you now."
Qu Yimin was not afraid of her grandfather, and still asked accordingly: "Five stones are so famous in legend. What is the effect of the medicine? Grandpa, you must have matched it. Tell me if it is okay?"
The old man glared: "What are the girls asking about this? That thing is aphrodisiac! He is showing off with the prescription, and he is not ashamed to be... Go quickly, don't you have any classes in the afternoon?" Qu Yimin couldn't help but feel embarrassed when she heard this, and she stuck out her tongue and turned around and left.
Qu Yimin quietly winked Mei Xi when she was leaving. Mei Xi understood the meaning, which was about what kind of medicinal properties of Wushi Powder? She asked Mei Xi to inquire with the old man. She didn't believe that the effect of this eternal prescription is as simple as the word "aphrodisiac". Otherwise, my grandfather would not have spent a lot of effort to collect rare medicinal materials such as red stone fat, and it must be famous. She showed off her prescription to her senior, who also took away the red stone fat collected by her grandfather. She must figure out what was going on.
The Zhang Xiaoning was a bachelor's and master's student who was taught by Mr. Qu Zhengbo in his early years. He was in his early thirties, but his career was very successful. Zhang Xiaoning studied traditional Chinese medicine and was best at marketing. The company under his name sold a variety of nutritional and health products, mainly divided into two categories: one is beauty, weight loss, and breast enhancement products for women, and the other is kidney-tonifying, yang-strengthening, and sperm-strengthening products for men.
Zhang Xiaoning is a general manufacturer. He provides these products to sell them all over the country, and various advertisements are also overwhelming. I believe that you can often see them in front of the computer. The advertising slogans of those products are very shocking, either the reappearance of the secret recipes of the eternal court or the latest biotechnology achievements. This product has the latest beauty activity factor, the product was developed secretly in ancient times, etc. In fact, it is Zhang Xiaoning's nourishing prescription and adds some hormone-like Western medicines. If you change it to different packaging and use it to take out.
Although Zhang Xiaoning has been graduating for seven or eight years, he has always respected Mr. Qu Zhengbo very much and brought valuable gifts to his house during festivals. However, Professor Qu saw that Zhang Xiaoning had always been disliked, and he never collected the gifts he gave. But as the saying goes, he does not hit people with smiles. His attitude towards learning is very respectful, and he is always embarrassed to stop contact. Several projects in the school were sponsored by Zhang Xiaoning, but his attitude towards him has always been neither salty nor light.
Recently, I heard that Zhang Xiaoning was pursuing his precious granddaughter Qu Yimin, and Qu Zhengbo became more and more disliked Zhang Xiaoning. So I heard that Zhang Xiaoning wanted to leave the prescription of Wushisan from Qu Yimin, and found that his laboratory had a lot less red stone fat, so I was furious.
Mei Xi has seen Zhang Xiaoning, who is not tall, always very smart and capable, and is versatile. He smiles and greets everyone he sees in Professor Qu's laboratory, even if he is a second-year undergraduate who works odd jobs. But Mei Xi doesn't like this person, and can't explain why, is it because this person is too smart or too rich, or is it that he is pursuing Qu Yimin?
Mei Xi is able to earn some living expenses by working odd jobs in Professor Qu’s laboratory, which was introduced by counselor Qu Yimin. Qu Yimin is cheerful and beautiful. Boys of Mei Xi’s age are likely to have a vague like her, so it is normal that they have no good impression of Zhang Xiaoning.
While Meixi was thinking about it, he heard Professor Qu say, "Boy, you are tall and straight. You can move a stool to change the top drawer below. Tear off the red stone fat label and add a label of Hanbird Hot Crystal." This idea is good. The whole walls of the laboratory are cabinets, and the cabinets are densely packed with small drawers. I'm afraid there are thousands of them. It's really not easy for others to find another place to change the label.
While sipping the drawer, Mei Xi did not forget Qu Yimin's instructions with her eyes, and was thinking about how to pull out the old man's words. I'm afraid I can't ask directly. I have to prescribe the right medicine. I'll try to tell the old man's favorite words first.
