A tool for grinding drugs in Chinese pharmacy, named Yi Hui trough, consists of an iron grinding trough and a wheel-shaped grinding disc. Chinese herbal pieces, such as adzuki bean, Ziziphus jujuba seed, cardamom, etc. By pushing the copper particles back and forth in the copper mill to decompose and shell, the Chinese herbal pieces prepared with them have good medicinal properties. If the outer skin burr of Xanthium sibiricum is not used as medicine, it needs to be crushed to remove the burr. Although the new generation of traditional Chinese medicine pulverizer is widely used, the ancient traditional Chinese medicine pulverizer still plays an irreplaceable role. The shape is long and narrow, like a boat, with two ends slightly upturned and a groove for grinding wheel in the middle, which can roll back and forth.

Beautiful legend: the grinding trough used in ancient Chinese medicine shops is said to be related to Hua Tuo's medical practice. According to legend, there was a blacksmith named Wang who had no children or daughters. He opened a small blacksmith's shop and made a living by making farm tools. One day, he was badly burned because of the explosion of the stove. Because there was no money for treatment, I had to hold on, and the small blacksmith shop was closed. After knowing this, Hua Tuo went to the blacksmith's house every day to treat his injuries. As for the money for medicine, Hua Tuo said nothing. Blacksmith Wang thought that Huatuo must have paid the bill, so he saved some money and went to Huatuo's drugstore to pay the bill after the injury. In fact, Hua Tuo didn't keep accounts at all. When he saw blacksmith Wang coming to pay for the medicine, he said, I'm happy when your injury is healed. Don't mention the medicine money! Blacksmith Wang asked for it many times, but Hua Tuo insisted on not accepting a penny. Blacksmith Wang was moved to tears and became more and more uneasy when he got home. He was so tired that he was sweating profusely. As soon as he thought that Hua Tuo wanted to cure his injury and grind the medicine surface, he decided to cast a medicine grinding device for Hua Tuo to alleviate the fatigue of Hua Tuo and his disciples when grinding medicine. After repeated pondering, blacksmith Wang cast a concave medicine trough and a round wheel, and rolled back and forth in the trough with the round wheel. Try some dry branches, leaves and pebbles yourself. It really works. But what is the name of this thing? He was thinking that an old master would come to the shop to make things. Blacksmith Wang told him the reason for his gratitude and asked the old master to give him a name. The old man thought for a moment and said, Let's call it Yi Hui trough! Hui is a gift, which means treating diseases and saving lives and repaying kindness; Easy is peace, which means to cure your injury and save the day; Tank body, drug grinding device. This includes all your thoughts. When blacksmith Wang heard this, it was just to his liking, and he repeatedly said, OK, OK, this is called a trough. Send it to Huatuo drugstore immediately. Since then, the Yi Hui trough has become a necessity for doctors and has been handed down. Because Yi Hui tank is mainly used for grinding medicine, people also call it medicine roller.
