Mo Jing is a kind of medicine with pungent taste, which vomits blood and stops bleeding quickly after delivery. Beijing ink is made of pine smoke powder and gum. There have been records of using ink as medicine in Tang Dynasty. Throughout the medical books of past dynasties, "ink" was mainly used as a hemostatic. Up to now, Tongrentang still has this medicine from Huimo producing area.
The main component is carbonized particles. According to the contemporary "scientific understanding and explanation", its rough surface can promote the coagulation mechanism to play a role.
But the ancients didn't have this knowledge. Why do they use ink as a hemostatic? In the "five elements" theory, black belongs to water and red belongs to fire; Water can kill fire and black can kill red-so black ink can kill red blood.
The theory of five elements provided a thinking tool for the ancients to use natural things, which was proved to be effective as experience and preserved by practice. Those who can't stand the test of practice will naturally be eliminated.
