Besides Chen Min, who are the famous collectors of traditional Chinese medicine in China?

Others don't know, Chen Min can do it!

Qilu Evening News TCM culture refers to the thinking mode, traditional customs, behavior norms, lifestyle, literature and art of TCM, and even some far-reaching events. Thus, the continuity and inheritance of the development of traditional Chinese medicine are ensured, and the medical theory, expression and evaluation standards for thousands of years have been systematically unified. Chen Min has been exploring all the way for 30 years, rain or shine. His collection of Chinese medicine is not only a hobby, but also the inheritance of Chinese medicine culture and the embodiment of national feelings.

Mr Chen Min has been engaged in TCM research for more than 30 years. During this period, not only did his medical skills accumulate day by day, but his cultural collection also gradually developed from one wall to two suites. In the early years, the "Little Magical Doctor" showed a preference for the research and collection of Chinese medicine culture, and now it is regarded as the "inheritor of Chinese quintessence" and "watcher of traditional culture".

For a long time, Chen Min spared no effort to collect and sort out medical and Taoist cultural relics, taking books as teachers and practicing medicine at the same time. When the reporter first met Chen Min, he was burying his head in combing a pile of ancient books, and his eyes couldn't take off the books for a while, just forming an independent and silent world with the books in the room. Chen Min said that his work and life are more like a pilgrimage, seeking to transcend time and space in the dialogue between ancient people and modern people, antiquities and modern people.

Chen Min has tens of thousands of traditional Chinese medicine cultural collections, including medical classics, tablet numbers, pharmaceutical instruments, statues of famous doctors, medicine bottles and jars, sealed prescriptions, etc ... There are some medicine bottles that are less than 10 yuan, and there are also rare books written by famous doctors, including the medicine bottles that Feng Feng treated falls in ancient Nanjing and the four most famous medicine cans in old Shanghai. More than 300 medicine emblems are arranged like terracotta warriors, including wood, brass and blue and white.

It is worth mentioning that, according to records, shanghai museum of tcm, the earliest and largest museum specializing in the history of traditional Chinese medicine in China, was established, with a collection of more than 4000 pieces of cultural relics of traditional Chinese medicine since the Neolithic age. However, Chen Min almost achieved today's scale by its own efforts, and its variety, quantity and fine collection are rare in China and even the world.

Sun, Moon, Mountains and Rivers in Traditional Chinese Medicine Books

Chen Min said: "The bottles and jars are all stories of Chinese medicine." Many Chinese medicine lovers patronize, and the worn porcelain bottles, yellowed ancient books and mottled plaques in the eyes of ordinary people are priceless. If the guests ask, no matter how busy Chen Min is, he will take them to the "treasure house" to open their eyes, and feel the history and charm of each collection and its condensed essence of traditional culture in a dazzling array of objects.

"No one saw the reconciliation, but they deliberately knew it." Small blue-and-white medicine bottles, which began in the Qing Dynasty, are like exquisite handicrafts. Blue-and-white patterns are often painted by combining patterns and ornamentation. Simple lines, combined with stippling, make the landscape outlined by the pattern "specious". These small porcelain vases are not only beautifully shaped, but also reflect the author's creativity.

There are many toilet water with different effects recorded in medicine bottles, but the only existing "dew" medicine on the market is honeysuckle dew, which can alleviate malnutrition in children. By chance, Chen Min got a medicine pot named "Xianfo Luxiang" from a collector in Hangzhou. This pot is round and has no handle. There are nine ladies on the pot, holding ganoderma lucidum and peaches, and beside them are blue unicorns.

There is Qingyutang in the south and Tongrentang in the north. Hu Xueyan, a merchant of Hongding in the Qing Dynasty, chose the word "Jade" in "Where there is a good house, there must be Qing Yu" in Zhouyi. The immortal Buddha Lu Xiang was produced by Hu Qingyutang. This dew is not only a first-class drink, but also a magical effect. Chen Min explained: "The design of the pot body implies the medical feeling of' hanging the pot to save the world', the wife symbolizes the skill of nine yin, and Kirin conforms to the folk old saying' Kirin sends the child'."

Tong Ren Tang once produced a manual life-saving vial. The bronze bottle is engraved with "Kyoto Tongrentang" and "Salvation Pill". The bottle cap and bottle holder are hollow and hung around the neck in series with a rope. Pills are put in bottles, which can be taken immediately in case of emergency, which is very convenient. "This is first aid!" Every time I think about this, Chen Min is amazed at the wisdom of his predecessors. With his eloquence, medical books in these years seemed to light up in an instant.

A piece of ice heart for 30 years

Although Chen Min grew up in a metropolis, his world is different from that of city children. Elders usually like to plant flowers and grass. Chen Min was deeply impressed by this and had a special affection for flowers and plants. Maybe I love my dog, but Chen Min likes Chinese medicine since he was a child. When I was a child, I passed by a Chinese pharmacy and always went in to smell it. I lingered for a while before leaving angrily.

In the process of collecting medicine bottles, Chen Min accidentally learned that Japanese and Koreans bought a large number of medicine bottles, which aroused his inner national feelings. He told reporters: "Twenty years ago, the purchase price of a small medicine bottle market was 5 yuan, and Japanese and Korean 300 yuan were able to offer sky-high prices, which was beyond my reach." At that time, he secretly vowed that he would never let traditional treasures go abroad if he could. A small medicine bottle has thus opened the way for Chen Min to study, collect and inherit Chinese medicine culture in the past 20 years.

Chen Min often warns students that Chinese medicine is the wealth left by our ancestors. While we are still engaged in a war of words for the preservation and abolition of traditional Chinese medicine, foreign collectors are sparing no expense in collecting our traditional Chinese medicine cultural relics. "So I can accept one more, that is, for our country and for our future generations."

A few years ago, when Chen Min learned that there was a set of precious ancient medical books, he immediately put down his chopsticks and drove hundreds of kilometers to get there. Almost at the same time, a Japanese collector got the news and offered a higher price. The seller hesitated in the face of heavy money. Seeing that it was getting late, he told the buyer to go back and wait for news. As a result, Chen Min stayed at the door all night, finally moved the seller and got the treasure.

Due to the erosion of time, many ancient books have been fragmented, and Chen Min sent them to professionals for careful repair. Gong Sheng, a former Qing Dynasty, copied Medical Zhao Jinliang by hand, and became a monk and lived in seclusion after enlightenment. The seller of this book is from Chongqing. At that time, he and Chen Min hadn't seen each other for six years, and they decided after only one phone call. When the thread-bound manuscript was transferred to Chen Min's hand, a large sheet piling could not be opened, and experts from the Palace Museum were asked to repair it for half a year before it could be seen again. At a sharing meeting, with the encouragement of the organizer, Chen Min copied this medical book into a book and donated it to many doctors present.

"I have known Chen Min for more than ten years. He is not only good in character, but also generous to others, "said Luo Zhonghua, a member of the Red Collection Committee of China Collectors Association. "In the inheritance and collection of Chinese medicine culture, it is rare to see people who are willing to make such efforts." Chen Min has made many friends in Hangzhou collectibles market, and Luo Zhonghua is one of them. Now, three old friends have passed away. Before a man died, he gave away all the medicines he had collected for 40 years. Chen Mindun feels a great responsibility.

Traditional treasures are enjoyed by society.

For decades, with more and more collections, how to effectively preserve, study and utilize these medical classics and historical relics has become a big stone in Chen Min's heart. After years of collection, these precious cultural relics of traditional Chinese medicine have been seriously rescued through their own efforts, and now they have formed a huge treasure house. However, to realize the application value of the collection, we need the support from all walks of life to carry it forward.

In 20 16, the State Council released the strategic plan for the development of traditional Chinese medicine, and in early 20 17, the Chinese poetry conference ignited a new upsurge of traditional culture. As the treasure of Chinese excellent traditional culture and the key to open the treasure house of Chinese civilization, the popularity of Chinese medicine seems to be constantly improving, and the cultural self-confidence of Chinese people seems to be awakening.

"We hope that with the help of all parties, a folk museum of traditional Chinese medicine will be set up to systematically show these collections to the public and become a base for studying famous doctors for thousands of years and promoting Chinese medicine culture." It is reported that there are three folk medicine museums in China, which are located in the north of Shanghai and Chongqing respectively.

A good doctor was once one of the spiritual homes of China literati. Between "a quick decision can save the world" and "poverty can save the world", there is also a "doctor who helps the world" who also reflects the feelings of home and country. There is a plaque in Chen Min's home, which is the four Chinese characters "Gong Tong Liang Xiang", with couplets on the left and right, and allusions on the top and bottom. The first part is "Shu Mai Hua Tuo Fang hangs his elbow", the second part is "The famous Bian Que Chang Sang gives a true biography", the second part is "Xinglin Man Chun" and the second part is "Orange Jing Quan Xiang".

No matter how high the temple is, no matter how far the rivers and lakes are, the great wisdom of doctors who have helped the world get in and out of the world for thousands of years is clearly between the lines. Looking through Chen Min's book catalogue, some of them have been corrected, such as the Secret Treasure of the Women's Department of LAM Raymond Temple copied by scholars during the reign of Emperor Kangxi Qianlong, the manuscript of Wuzhi Trauma in Luling County collected by the Qing government, the prescription sealed by Liu Bowen and Zheng Zhilong, the original atlas of Wuyue Mountain which finally came back to Japan, and even the manuscript written by the famous Shanghai Nanhui Xu Yong 1826.

"As long as the medical books are there, Chinese medicine must be there." Chen Min is full of expectations. In the future, he will compile these treasures into books, build a small collection and spread them around the world. Not everyone can be a librarian. Chen Min warned himself, pointing to the words in a textbook: "Can you put yourself in hell? Taoism can't give gifts to people. There are treasures in the world, but there are no treasures in the world. Those who leak slowly will always suffer. "
