   And the tools seem to be surgical tools used by Huaxia Traditional Chinese Medicine Surgery, otherwise it is impossible to make these tools out of sterling silver. The most of these six wooden boxes are some scalpels.

These sterling silver knives are of different sizes and shapes. Many exquisite patterns are engraved on the handle of the knives counted by one hand. Even after hundreds of years, these sterling silver scalpels are still Unusually sharp, a chilling cold light flashed on the blade.

There are a total of 72 tools made of sterling silver, large and small, which are also very in line with the Chinese people's preference for numbers, and the numbers of these tools are not all randomly pieced together, for example, 108 sterling silver The number 108 of the needle is the name of the 108 constellations. The 72 surgical tools made of sterling silver use the number 72 Disha, which is the number of all the tools placed in the drawer on the last layer of the medicine cabinet.

On the penultimate layer above, there are four small rectangular independent drawers. The copper pull-tabs on the drawers are kept intact. Open the first drawer and put some pharmaceutical tools in it. The five thousand years of Chinese medicine culture As long as the history of Chinese civilization, the pharmaceutical tools handed down from ancient times are of all kinds, and there are all kinds of them.

But after all, there are traces to follow. In the rectangular drawer that Yang Yong opened, there is a roller that grinds the herbs into powder. This roller is very unique in shape and is also made of sterling silver. It weighs more than one kilogram. The rollers that are crushed into powder, and the grooves below, are very well matched with a little gap. These are some sterling silver pestles that smash the medicine into pieces, like a garlic jar, and weigh the medicine. small steelyard weight.

In the other three small rectangular drawers, there are still some pharmaceutical tools, such as the guillotine for cutting herbs, the stirring jar for making finished pills, etc. There are 36 large and small pharmaceutical tools in total. This is Tiangang 36. number? See what is broad and profound Chinese culture? Even the numbers of pharmaceutical tools are derived from names, representing the constellations in the sky.

  Yang Yong couldn't help but feel overjoyed when he saw this. The history and culture of the United States is only more than 200 years old, and the history of this medicine box made of huanghuali has exceeded 300 years. It is longer than the history of the founding of the United States? This is the gap in history, which cannot be filled by the United States with money.

The third piece of the huanghuali medicine box is still a drawer, but this drawer is five centimeters high and very narrow. Yang Yong smiled when he pulled it out. This small drawer was only five centimeters high and was separated by wooden fields. , There is a small jar made of blue and white porcelain in a grid.

The lids on the jars are all wrapped with red silk cloth, but because of the age, the red silk cloth has turned black, and the patterns drawn on the small blue and white jars less than five centimeters high are some well-known herbal medicines. look.

   There are images of herbs such as Ginseng, Ganoderma lucidum, Polygonum multiflorum, etc., and the patterns of these well-known herbs are vivid. Even if Yang Yong knows nothing about herbs and sees the patterns drawn on these blue and white jars, he can follow the patterns to find these herbs.

Some blue and white jars are not big, Yang Yong's big hand can grab two blue and white small jars at the same time, these small jars are empty, Yang Yong knows that these blue and white jars are filled with some honey pills, commonly known as big pills. , In order to verify his judgment, Yang Yong also opened the small blue and white jar and put it under his nose to smell it. Yang Yongzhi frowned with the smell of Chinese herbal medicine inside. The flavor is still strong inside.

Seeing that the number of small blue and white jars in front of him had reached 36, Yang Yong felt very excited. The Chinese herbal medicine culture that has been passed down for 5,000 years is really not covered, and even the jars are so particular about the medicine box. History is certainly not simple.

Maybe it was the Hainan Huanghuali medicine box that was preserved by the imperial physician of the Qing Dynasty. After all the small jars were put back in their original positions, Yang Yong opened the fourth floor of the medicine box and opened the second floor. Yang Yong laughed when he was in the drawer, and at the same time he felt that the feudal ruling class was really deceiving.

In the two drawers on the fourth floor, there is a small pillow made of unknown and made. The small pillow is very small, only the size of a palm, but the carving is extremely exquisite and warm. It is carved from the best Hetian seed jade. The small pillow is a traditional Chinese medicine for treating people's pulse. The small pillow that the patient places on the wrist is not the most special, and the special thing is that there is a coil of gold wire on the edge of the small pillow.

  This gold wire is very thin, but the length is very long. Even if it does not need to be opened, Yang Yong can judge that the length of the gold wire will never be less than ten meters. Why do the feudal ruling classes cheat people! This is because whether it is a royal doctor or a private doctor, when treating women, they are not allowed to touch women's bodies, not even their wrists.

Therefore, in ancient times, there was a method of diagnosing diseases by hanging wire. The gold wire was tied around the woman's wrist, and then the vibration from the smoothed wire was used to judge the condition and then prescribe medicine for diagnosis and treatment. Yang Yong originally thought that the hanging wire diagnosis was just an exaggerated statement in ancient China, which was very mysterious and unreal, but when Yang Yong saw this golden wire, Yang Yong had to admit that the medical level of ancient China was really advanced. ah.

After putting the jade pillow and a handful of gold wire back in place, twelve pairs of chopsticks made of sterling silver placed in different leather cases appeared in the drawer. Each pair of chopsticks was engraved with some zodiac patterns, such as Twelve chopsticks made of sterling silver are used to test poisons.

Especially the ancient Chinese people believed that silver can test poisons, especially arsenic. This deadly poison is even more unavoidable. Therefore, doctors always keep a few pairs of silver chopsticks. , Put this pair of silver chopsticks in the medicinal soup to test whether it is poisonous? When the chopsticks have just been developed and have not changed color, these herbs will be drunk by the patient.

After observing the drawers in Chapter 4, the top two drawers to be photographed were filled with small blue-and-white porcelain vases that were ten centimeters high and no more than 2.5 centimeters in diameter. The lids of these small bottles were all wooden. I took a small cork and put it under my nose to smell it, and there was a faint fragrance.

These small blue-and-white vases are all vacant, and there are 72 of them in total, which are also taken from the number Disha 72. Different from those small blue-and-white jars, these small vases are filled with some liquid medicines. See here that the whole huanghuali is made of The internal space of the medicine box is like this. Although the items in it are not large, they are very valuable for collection, especially for the historical research of Chinese herbal medicine, which makes this value great.

This wooden medicine box like a large backpack, Yang Yong felt very happy, it really is a rare treasure, although the small blue and white porcelain jars and blue and white porcelain bottles are the official kiln products in the Kangxi period of the Qing Dynasty, but because of the size The small auction is not worth much, but the complete set will also cause a sensation, especially the historical value of this medicine box is immeasurable. It really is a good treasure. Adam is forgiven for asking for a bonus for his meritorious service.
