Pre-treatment of ancient prescriptions (middle)

In the Tang Dynasty, Sun Simiao further concluded that drugs should be treated first and then decocted: "All grasses have roots, stems, branches, leaves, skins, bones, flowers and fruits, and all insects have hairs, wings, skins, nails, heads, feet, tails and bones, which need to be roasted, cooked and cooked, just like the latter method ... or bearded. The system must be revised in strict accordance with the ancient prescription, otherwise, "drugs kill each other, strength helps each other, monarch and minister help each other, and assist each other." I don't know the classics widely, and I don't know good and evil. Or doctors add or subtract according to their own intentions, and don't follow the rules, so that the strength of grass and stones can bully each other, and even if they enter people's stomachs, they can't cure the disease and become more entangled. On the contrary, grass and stones confuse people and are very powerful. " "Blessed are those who are in the right direction, and embarrassed are those who oppose them. "The principle of decoction pretreatment is" every stone medicine is as broken as a grain of rice. " "Everything in the soup is broken, such as dried dates and gardenias; Use fine materials, but also break them, such as Cornus officinalis, Schisandra chinensis, Polygonum cuspidatum, cassia seed, etc. Fine flower seeds are used up, such as Inula, Chrysanthemum, Kochia scoparia and sunflower seeds. Rice, wheat and beans are also used up. " "All the stones are sharp and double-hearted, and the soup is also cut and cut, or cut." "All the hair, feathers, teeth, teeth, hooves, turtles, turtles, carp and other nails, skin, meat, bones, horns, tendons, velvet antler and so on. When roasted, the snake will shed its skin slightly. "

Later generations of physicians basically inherited the tradition of Tao Hongjing and Sun Simiao, and the pretreatment of decoction discussed in most books also followed the previous discussion (to be continued).
