How to develop Zhuang medicine culture?

Due to the complex and typical geographical environment and special climatic conditions, the Zhuang inhabited areas have created rich medicinal resources. According to the investigation from 1983 to 1987, there are 4,623 kinds of Chinese herbal medicines in Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region alone, ranking second in the country. Among them, there are 709 kinds of drugs commonly used in Zhuang medicine.

Therefore, there are more than 1000 Zhuang medicines in Guangxi alone.

Zhuang medicine has a long history. Some varieties of Zhuang medicine were developed and utilized earlier, and they also became famous Chinese medicines. For example, The Biography of Ma Yuan in the later Han Dynasty said that "you will get miasma if you stand on tiptoe when you go out", because eating barley often can prevent dysentery. Back to the Central Plains. Coix lachryma-jobi is still a common medicinal material of Zhuang nationality and a common Chinese medicine. Baise county is a Zhuang nationality inhabited area, which is rich in resources. Among the cultural relics unearthed from the Han tomb in Lop Nur Bay, Youxian County, there are some commonly used medicinal materials of Zhuang medicine, such as kudingcha and honeysuckle. Shennong Materia Medica contains 365 kinds of herbs, including cinnamon, cinnamon, coix seed, salvia miltiorrhiza, stalactites and so on. This is a rich Zhuang area, including. There are 125 kinds of "medicines" in this book, which have the efficacy of "dispelling cold and heat, breaking accumulation and treating diseases" and are mostly produced in Zhuang areas. There are many powerful drugs in New Materia Medica of Tang Dynasty, such as Agkistrodon halys gall, talc, Cinnamomum camphora root bark, Poria, Cinnamomum cassia, garlic, Fructus Trichosanthis, Blackstone grease, Uncaria rhynchophylla, Agkistrodon, Curcuma longa, Sue, Wolf board and so on. "Compendium of Materia Medica" recorded the famous Zhuang medicines Chen Jiabai and Ganjia Baiyao enshrined by the imperial court at that time in a very short time.

As mentioned above, the wide application of poisons and antidotes is an important feature and highlight of Zhuang medicine. In addition, the advanced method of burning mercury with cinnabar and the discovery and utilization of Notoginseng should also become an important symbol of the development and utilization of Zhuang medicine and reach a certain level.

It is said that cinnabar comes from Fuling, but it is actually the best gold-coated sand produced by Rongzhou Goulou, especially Yongzhou. The Notes on Materia Medica in the Song Dynasty recorded in detail the method of burning mercury by the ancestors of Zhuang nationality: "Tanren alchemy sand is mercury, iron is used as the upper and lower pot, the upper pot is filled with sand, the lower pot is filled with water, and it is buried underground. The mouths of two kettles were sealed on the ground and burned with hot fire. Red sand turns into fog, matches with water, and then falls. This scientific sealed distillation method has also been recorded in the history of natural science.

Panax notoginseng is a famous Chinese medicine, which is widely used to promote blood circulation and remove blood stasis. But first of all, it is a famous Zhuang medicine and an important contribution of the Zhuang people to traditional medicine in China and even the world. The drug was and is mainly produced in Baise, Guangxi and Wenshan Zhuang and Miao Autonomous Prefecture, Yunnan. Before the Ming Dynasty, doctors in the Central Plains did not know what Sanqi was, but Zhuang people had used Sanqi and accumulated rich clinical experience. According to records, Tianqi, whose real name is "Sanqi", is an authentic variety, because it is mainly produced in Tian Yang, Tiandong, Napo, Debao, Jingxi and other places where Zhuang people live in compact communities. In the past, businessmen mostly concentrated in Tianzhou. In the Ming Dynasty, Li Shizhen said that Tianqi was "born in the deep mountains of Dong Fan, Nandan Prefecture, Guangxi" and said that "this medicine began to appear in modern times and was used by the Southern People's Army to find gold sores, which had miraculous effects".

As the saying goes, "whoever breaks a stick will chew it immediately if there is congestion, and the congestion will dissipate." It costs one or two yuan to receive an employee, and then the blood won't rush to the heart. You should take it after work and childbirth. Generally speaking, this medicine is bitter and sweet, and it is also a medicine for Yangming Jueyin and blood, so it can cure all diseases. ".It can be seen that Tianqi's treatment of internal injuries, trauma, blood stasis and other diseases was first discovered and applied by Zhuang people, and its advantages are indelible. Modern research has proved that panax notoginseng contains saponins and other effective components, which not only has the therapeutic effect of ginseng, but also avoids the side effects of ginseng. Foreign research claims that Panax notoginseng has anti-cancer effect. At present, the research and development of Tianqi at home and abroad is in the ascendant. From Tianqi toothpaste, Tianqi scented tea, Yunnan Baiyao to a variety of cardiovascular disease prevention and treatment drugs, Tianqi is the main raw material or important ingredient, with an output value of hundreds of millions.
