Thanks to Wang's generosity, he accepted Oracle bones, which suddenly doubled the value of this Chinese herbal medicine and became a very important cultural relic.

I sent someone to Darentang, a food market outside Xuanwu Gate, to buy a dose of Chinese medicine. Wang happened to see some symbols engraved on the naming keel of traditional Chinese medicine. Keels are the bones of ancient vertebrates. How can there be carved symbols hundreds of thousands of years ago on this bone? This aroused his curiosity.
