How did Miao ancestors establish Miao medicine culture?

In the long course of the development of traditional medicine, China's long-standing traditional culture has a far-reaching influence on it. As a branch of traditional culture, Miao medicine culture is not only famous for its unique folk customs, but also occupies a place in medical history because of its great influence on traditional medicine in China. Traditional medicine can probably be traced back to Shennong period at the earliest, while the ancient medical culture of Miao nationality originated from such clans as Jiuli Chiyou, Sanmiao and Man Jing, and was handed down in the form of primitive myths, legends and ancient songs. Among the numerous oral documents of Miao people, Shennong tasted a hundred herbs, Chiyou gave an elixir, Zhu Rong massaged to strengthen the body, and Wang Yao prescribed a prescription, which closely linked the ancient Miao medicine culture in the mythical era with Chinese medicine, forming the embryonic form of the connection between Miao medicine culture and Chinese medicine. China Miao medicine is one of the oldest traditional medicines in the history of China. Miao medicine germinated in Yanhuang and Chiyou times, formed in Qin and Han Dynasties, developed in Ming and Qing Dynasties and revived in modern times. It took about five or six thousand years of tortuous development history to produce today's Miao medicine. It has a long history, because Chiyou, the ancestor of Miao nationality, is known as "Huang San" in ancient China together with Yan Di and Huangdi. The myth and legend of Miao medicine "Chiyou is a magical medicine" is in the same era as Shennong Taste a Hundred Herbs and Huangqi Talk about Medical Way. Miao medicine is the primitive medical culture in the ancient primitive myth era. After the integration of primitive religion of ghosts and gods and witchcraft culture of Miao nationality, Miao medicine gave birth to a special witch doctor cultural form of "one witch doctor, two interpretations of god doctor". Miao medicine has been lost by many cultural essences with the dust of history. Miao folk ancient myths and legends gradually reveal the medical cultural phenomena in ancient myths and legends, reproduce the glory of ancient Miao medicine, and explain its influence on the inheritance of traditional Chinese medicine. ? "Shennong tasted a hundred herbs, and it was 72 poisons every day, and it was solved by tea", which is a legendary story praising ancient Shennong's "tasting a hundred herbs, taking a hundred medicines and creating medicines". Shennong, who are you? What does it have to do with Miao medicine? According to historical records, as early as 5,000 years ago, Emperor Yan Shennong created a splendid Chinese civilization by "growing grain, taming animals, tasting medicine and treating diseases". The name of Shennong first appeared in Zhouyi. "I ching. The copula says, "Is the king of Xi in ancient Man Cang also in this world? If the Bao family doesn't do it, the farmer will do it, and the wood will be smashed for the benefit of the mattress, so as to teach the world and cover all interests, and Japan and China will be the market. Although the world collects loans from the world and retreats from the transaction, each has its own place and covers all troubles. " White Tiger Tong: "People in ancient times ate the meat of animals. As for Shennong, there are many people and there are not enough animals, so Shennong teaches people to be farmers, transforms people into gods and makes them suitable for the people, so it is called Shennong. The legendary Emperor Yan was once a very loving god. When "human beings on the earth have given birth to many things, and the food produced in nature is not enough to eat, the merciful Emperor Yan taught human beings how to sow grain and exchange their labor for the material of life? Emperor Yan also asked the sun to give off enough light and heat to make the grain grow. Since then, human beings have no worries about food and clothing. Everyone appreciates his merits and calls him' Shennong'. Legend has it that he is a bull's head, probably because he benefits the people like a cow. " Legend has it that Emperor Yan is the god of sun, agriculture and medicine. It is said that Shennong has a magic whip called "ochre whip", which is used to identify drugs. As long as Shennong uses a dozen ochre whips, these herbs can tell whether the medicine is toxic or not, whether the medicine is cold or hot, and know their own medicine endowment to treat diseases and save lives. This is the legend of Shennong's "whip medicine" in history. Traditional medicine is produced in the fantastic color of this myth. ? In the ancient literature of China, the legend about Shennong's "tasting a hundred herbs" and practicing medicine to treat diseases is as follows: Huainanzi. "Xiuwu Pian": "In ancient times, people ate the fruit of trees and the meat of mussels, which often caused diseases. Therefore, Shennong began to teach people to grow grains. Is it suitable for the land? The smell of herbs and the ups and downs of water springs make them avoid it. At this time, I encountered 70 poisons a day. " Shennong's Classic of Materia Medica: "Shennong tastes a hundred herbs, and when he encounters 70 poisons every day, he can get rid of it with tea." Five emperors:? "Whip whip grass, only taste a hundred herbs, only medicine." Search for Ji Shen: "Shennong smoked a hundred herbs with a whip, knowing its nature of being flat, poisonous, cold and warm. The smell is dominant, so the world is called Shennong. " "Taiping Magnolia" quoted "Emperor Century": "Yandi Shennong? Began to teach the world to cultivate grains and eat them to save lives. Taste vegetation, taste medicine to cure diseases, and save lives. "

Relevant medical documents of past dynasties record that Shennong created drugs as follows: The Theory of Ancient and Modern Materia Medica states: "Materia Medica began to imitate Shennong, with 360 kinds of drugs, which is also the saint of opening heaven and the integration of heaven and earth; You can really explore the essence of nature. You are poor in everything and know everything, which is unknown to future generations. " ? Interpretation of the Origin of Medicine:? "Neijing, ancient medical books, medical ancestor, is Huang Nai. Materia Medica originated in Shennong, before the Yellow Emperor. It can be known that medicine begins with medicine. " "Huainanzi" says: "Shennong sows grains, and prisoners think it is teaching." Japanese scholars believe that China rice was first invented by Miao people and later spread to Japan and Southeast Asia. What is the relationship between Shennong and Miao medicine, that is, Chinese medicine and Miao medicine? ? Some scholars believe: "Miao people are called Miao because their ancestors first learned to grow rice, which shows that Miao ancestors belong to an agricultural clan or tribe, and Shennong's' tasting hundred herbs' and' sowing five grains' are ancestors of agriculture and medicine." Textual research on the origin of Miao and Shennong, "Relevant historical facts prove that Miao's Miao is related to Shennong, and Miao's agriculture and medicine originated from Shennong. The hometown of Miao nationality is the activity area of Shennong, which is not accidental coincidence, but has a very primitive relationship. In ancient times, there was a saying that' to err is human'. Instead of offering sacrifices to the supreme Yellow Emperor, the Miao people solemnly offered sacrifices to Shennong and his descendant Chiyou, fully demonstrating that Shennong was the ancestor of Miao agricultural medicine. " ? Through historical research and folklore, Shennong and Miao have a deep historical origin, and it is also credible that Miao medicine began in Shennong or Shennong was the ancestor of Miao medicine. Therefore, Miao primitive medical culture can be said to be the embryonic form of Chinese medicine. ? Here we can't help but mention another ancestor revered by Miao people-Chiyou. Jiuli Chiyou is an ancient clan and tribe alliance that lived around 2500 BC. At the same time of the Yellow Emperor Tribe Alliance, the Yellow Emperor Tribe clashed with Jiuli Chiyou, defeated Jiuli in the land of Zhuolu, Chiyou was captured and killed, and its Jiuli Tribe was forced to leave the Yellow River basin and move south. They came to the middle reaches of the Yangtze River, which was the first great migration in Miao history. They have settled in the middle reaches of the Yangtze River for more than 400 years, forming a new tribal alliance-"Sanmiao" or "Sanmiao Country". ? The history of the road. After four o'clock. Biography of Chiyou: "Sakamoto Chiyou is descended from Jiang." About Han Quan's statement in Historical Records of the Five Emperors: "Han Quan, now called Huang Diquan, is located 56 miles east of Hu Airong County, Youzhou, five miles away from Zhuolu." According to legend, Chiyou was very clever from an early age. At the age of nine, he left home and went to the mountains near the Yellow River to learn from Grandpa Sheng Weng. Nine years later, Chiyou knows 120 etiquette rules and can cope with world events. Master 120 kinds of drugs, and become a miraculous doctor who can cure all diseases, revive the dead and rejuvenate the children; Proficient in the twelve magic symbols, become a great god who can call the wind and rain, and be bright and sunny. "Legend has it that he learned to be a human-god and gave birth to nine sons when he came back. When he grew up, he learned the skills of Chiyou. One son is in charge of nine villages and nine sons are in charge of eighty-one villages. Chiyou became the head of the eighty-first village. " Because Chiyou knows 120 kinds of medicine, people can take medicine to cure when they are sick, to revive when they are dead, and to rejuvenate when they are old. After several decades, Miao people have developed. "This is the story of the' killing medicine' in Miao history. Chiyou is a hero in the legend of Miao ancestors, and all Miao people call their ancestors Chiyou Gong. Qiandongnan Prefecture in Guizhou called their ancestors Bangxiang Tour, Xiangxi Miao people in Hunan called their ancestors Touyou or Li Jiao Chiyou, and Sichuan, Guizhou and Yunnan Miao people directly called Chiyou. For thousands of years, the highest realm pursued by Chinese medicine is immortality, and this ideal has been vividly reflected here. Zhu Rong is a great god in the sky in ancient legend, and a descendant of Nandi Yan Di. In the story of Taishang Laojun's book opening, the relationship between Yan Di and Zhu Rong was recorded. " When Shennong was a teacher, the old gentleman wrote Taichengzi, teaching Shennong to taste a hundred herbs, get one, and plant it with the people instead of the life of an animal. "Shennong has no queen, but there is an embarrassing person. When I became a monk, I was a teacher, teaching him to drill wood to get inflammation, and the light of the sun constantly turned me into a familiar person to get rid of the bad smell. There is Zhu Rong behind you. In Zhu Rong's time, this old gentleman was a teacher with the title of Guangshouzi, who taught three cardinals and Zheng. When Huang San practices Buddhism, no one gets sick. Make "Tuina Tongjing". " According to legend, Guang Shouzi once handed over 90 volumes of Massage Sutra to Zhu Rong. Zhu Rong taught the contents of this book to CoCo Lee people in the south. Since then, CoCo Lee people have mastered massage technology, and they have been preventing diseases and improving their health. After that, their diseases decreased, their bodies became stronger and stronger, and their life expectancy was prolonged. Zhu Rong also invented the diamond fire. He used artificial fire to cook food in the daily life of Li people, and used fire to prevent mosquitoes and miasma. These two achievements have made important contributions to the survival and reproduction of the Sanmiao people in the south. It is also the bud of preventive medicine thought and TCM health preservation thought that appeared earlier in China. ? In the Miao nationality in the border area of Hunan and Guizhou, it is said that there is a Miao medicine king who travels all over the Miao nationality all the year round, and there is a song circulating: "A medicine king, who is in all directions, walks on the road and looks for directions in the wind." ? Three thousand seed medicines, eight hundred kinds of prescriptions. According to Shi Fushan, an old Miao doctor in Fenghuang County, Xiangxi:? "The ancestor of Miao doctor is Grandpa Yao Wang." Grandpa Yao Wang in folklore is a.

Transparent, glass-shaped, winged and able to fly in the air, he braved difficulties and obstacles to find a prescription for the Miao people (Cha Rui Cha Ga). It is said that every time Grandpa Wang Miao finds a medicine, he has to taste it himself. Medicine and qi are connected in series in the body or the whole body, and the gas string can treat diseases in this part of the human body. Legend has it that one day: "He tasted the root of Phalaenopsis, and suddenly his mouth was full of spicy taste, so he swallowed it with water. For a time, his brain was dizzy like hemp and he lost consciousness. After waking up, I recalled: This grass is so fertile that I was' bigger than a farmer' just now. (Miao language means skull rot), so I named this grass' Bigeng'. Colleagues were surprised when they saw it:' drug king, you are all black!' As soon as the drug king saw that his whole body was no longer transparent, he named this grass' Kusnezoff monkshood'. On the border of Hunan and Guizhou, there are also songs about the drug king: "The medicine king who is as bright as the stars goes over mountains and valleys as usual, eating fruit and drinking dew, and looking for a prescription." This myth and legend of Grandpa Yao Wang tells the story that wizards are good at collecting drugs and treating diseases. Among the Miao people, Miao doctors believe that all the Miao medicines and prescriptions used since ancient times were handed down by Grandpa Yao Wang. ? Who is the "drug king"? In the history of traditional Chinese medicine, because Shennong "pioneered medicine and was known as the King of Medicine in the world, he later praised Shennong in the name of the King of Medicine", "King of Medicine" and Shennong were regarded as one person. Is it related to calling Shennong the king of medicine in the history of traditional Chinese medicine? Are Miao doctor "Yao Wang" and Shennong the same person? The reason is that the agricultural medicine of Miao nationality originated from Shennong, and the ancestral home of Miao nationality is the activity area of Shennong. The sacrifice of Miao nationality is related to the grand commemoration of Shennong and its descendant Chiyou. These histories show that Shennong is the ancestor of Miao medicine. So is Grandpa Miao Yaowang Shennong worth discussing? The Miao doctor in Ou Zhi 'an, Fenghuang County, handed him a poem about the king of medicine: "Let's learn from the past and seek the glory of the present, and have great ambitions for the king of medicine." After thousands of generations of efforts, the sun and the moon have become one. The saying that there is no document, although short, has a long history. Shen Gu Zhuang Hua Tuo Shui is a pillar of Miao medicine. " ? Grandpa Yao Wang is the ancestor of Miao medicine handed down from generation to generation by Miao people. Grandpa, who is this drug Lord, no matter who. He made an immortal contribution to the establishment of China medicine. Grandpa Yao Wang founded Miao medicine, which is as immortal as Huangdi's reputation of establishing Neijing, and * * * is the cornerstone of Chinese medicine. Both Uncle Yao of Miao nationality and "Qi Huang" of Chinese medicine are representatives of ancient Chinese medicine and symbols of medical culture. ? The original Miao medicine culture is to taste Shennong's hundred herbs, to know its flat, toxic, cold and warm nature, and to taste drugs to save lives. Chiyou is an imperial doctor, who can cure all diseases, bring back the dead, rejuvenate and know Yin and Yang. Zhu Rong preached cooked food, massaged to strengthen the body, and then went to Grandpa Yao Wang to find a prescription, thus forming the primitive medical culture of "three thousand Miao medicines, eight hundred prescriptions". Miao's primitive medical culture is characterized by the unity of medicine and spirit, mystery, magic and myth. The primitive Miao medicine culture is the accumulation process of primitive medical knowledge from legends and myths to drug identification and clinical application. In the process of synchronization with it, Chinese medicine has developed rapidly from germination to formation. The primitive medical culture of traditional Chinese medicine and Miao nationality both came into being in ancient mythological times, full of mystery, and sometimes played a magical role in primitive medical activities, so that later myths were passed down from generation to generation. They are a family, complementary, inseparable, mutual penetration and eclectic. Their magic is puzzling, and we should constantly explore them to make new breakthroughs and developments!
