According to legend, at the end of the Ming Dynasty, a scholar visited an old Chinese doctor. When he first stepped into the yard, he couldn't help but blurt out:
It is best to use bamboo leaves in summer;
An arbitrary old Chinese doctor knows the name of the other person's Chinese medicine. He replied without thinking:
Typhoid fever is especially wonderful, Bupleurum.
Entering a room, the man wanted to beat the old Chinese doctor, so he made a long couplet:
Pulsatilla, holding spurge, crossing the sea, fighting wooden thieves and fighting lilies, returned to the DPRK, worthy of being an old general;
Old Chinese medicine practitioners have answers and frankly promise:
Matchmaker, golden hairpin and silver flower are five times better than peony, and cistanche deserticola is like a mica fairy.
Hearing this, the man couldn't help being impressed by the old gentleman's profound knowledge and profound medicine and literature. The beauty of this association is that more than ten kinds of Chinese medicine names are naturally integrated into the association, the antithesis is neatly matched, and the artistic conception is humorous and vivid, which is the absolute of Xinglin through the ages.
In the famous Chinese medicine shop "Renhe Hall", a pair of couplets are hung on the red paint pillars on both sides of the door:
Rehmannia glutinosa welcomes the bald head and benefits the mother, and the matchmaker is happy at first sight;
Hu Aishan sends cattle to lead the country to be old and healthy for thousands of years.
-This couplet skillfully connects the names of Radix Rehmanniae Preparata, Pulsatilla, Motherwort, Red Lady, Jianyi Xi, Huaishan, Petunia, Lao Guo, Gentleman and Millennium Health into one sentence, which is neat, humorous, full of life and interesting after reading.
There is also a Chinese medicine shop with:
Take the old, like a box back (shell) mother across the bridge (on);
Helping the old and bringing the young, Pulsatilla takes the children to Changshan.
-This couplet * * * is embedded with six kinds of traditional Chinese medicines, which is not only wonderful in conception, but also implies that doctors should have noble medical ethics to save lives. Semantic puns make people clap their hands.
