But the greatest contribution of Sun Simiao, the drug king, was not to save people, but to destroy the harmful formula of Wushi Powder. What's going on here? Next, Bian Xiao will give you a detailed explanation. First of all, what is Samurai III? Some medical students may be a little confused. Many historical books have recorded Wushisan, also known as Hanshisan. It is generally believed that Samurai San originated in the Qin Dynasty and was widely circulated in the Wei and Jin Dynasties.
However, the constituent substances of Wushi Powder, as the name suggests, are composed of five kinds of stone medicines, and the proportion of ingredients in descending order is stalactite, Bai Shiying, Ziyingshi, sulfur and halloysitum rubrum. The efficacy of this prescription is mainly to treat colds, so Zhang Zhongjing first invented this prescription to treat people with typhoid fever. This wrong prescription was used in China for hundreds of years, and it was not until Sun Simiao, our medicine king, began to point out that this prescription was wrong that everyone gradually began to give up using Wushi Powder.
Because eating black stone can make people hallucinate, and using it too many times can make people addicted. The romantic gentry in Wei and Jin dynasties have been crazy about samurai III for hundreds of years. However, Samurai, like drugs now, is not only addictive, but also deadly. It has been recorded in history that Pei Xiu of the Western Jin Dynasty took Wushi powder and died after drinking cold wine. To know that Wushi powder is a chronic poison, doctors often pay attention to fighting poison with poison.
Wushisan itself is poisonous. If you eat Wushi powder and don't eliminate the heat in your body through exercise in time, your life will be in danger. So Pei Xiu mentioned above died. Sun Simiao, the king of medicine, began to study whether Wu's three prescriptions were harmful to people or saving lives. Wushisan was originally created to treat typhoid fever, but it was finally used to paralyze people and endanger people's lives. He spent his whole life trying to destroy this prescription that caused countless injuries.
He struggled with this prescription under the pressure of power and finally died with regret, but he gave the task to his disciples, and finally God paid off, and Samurai III finally disappeared in the Tang Dynasty. This achievement of Sun Simiao has saved countless future generations, and also left a precious wealth for our medical construction, which is worth remembering. That's the end of what I want to introduce to you today. Bian Xiao looks forward to meeting you next time.
