Transferred from Huaxia Collection Network: /infos/2175/56373.html Guardian of Xinglin —— A Record of Chen Min, a collector of traditional Chinese medicine culture
Traditional Chinese medicine culture refers to the thinking mode, traditional customs, behavioral norms, lifestyle, literature and art of traditional Chinese medicine, and even some far-reaching events. Therefore, it ensures the continuity and inheritance of the development of traditional Chinese medicine, and makes the medical theory, its expression and evaluation criteria for thousands of years have systematic unity. Chen Min has been exploring all the way for 3 years, rain or shine. His collection of traditional Chinese medicine is not only a hobby, but also a heritage of traditional Chinese medicine culture and a reflection of national feelings.
Mr. Chen Min has been dealing with Chinese medicine for more than 3 years. During this period, not only has his medical skills accumulated day by day, but his cultural collection has gradually grown from a 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 he is regarded as the "inheritor of Chinese quintessence" and "watcher of traditional culture" in the eyes of everyone.
For a long time, Chen Min has spared no effort to collect and sort out medical and Taoist cultural relics, taking books as a teacher and practicing medicine at the same time. When the reporter saw Chen Min for the first time, he was burying his head in combing a pile of ancient books, and his eyes couldn't be pulled out of the book for a while, which just formed an independent and silent world with the collections in the room. Chen Min said that his work and life are more like pilgrimage, seeking to transcend time and space in the dialogue between ancient people and modern people, antiquities and present things.
Chen Min has tens of thousands of Chinese medicine cultural collections, including medical classics, tablets, medicine numbers, pharmaceutical instruments, statues of famous doctors, medicine bottles, and stamp prescriptions ... There are medicine bottles less than 1 yuan here, as well as rare books written by famous doctors, including Feng's medicine bottles specialized in treating falls in ancient Nanjing, and the four most famous medicine cans in old Shanghai. More than 3 medicine stamps are arranged like terracotta warriors and horses.
It is worth mentioning that, according to the records, shanghai museum of tcm, the earliest and quite large-scale museum specialized in the history of traditional Chinese medicine, has been established in China, with more than 14, pieces of traditional Chinese medicine cultural relics since the Neolithic Age. But Chen Min achieved today's scale almost by his own efforts, and the variety, quantity and fine collection are rare in China and even in the world.
the sun, the moon and the mountains in the collection of traditional Chinese medicine?
Chen Min said, "All the bottles and jars are filled with stories of traditional Chinese medicine." Many Chinese medicine enthusiasts visit, and the worn porcelain bottles, yellowed ancient books and mottled plaques in the eyes of ordinary people are all priceless. If the guests ask, Chen Min, no matter how busy he is, will take them to the "treasure house" to open their eyes and feel the history and charm of each collection and the essence of its condensed traditional culture among the dazzling array of things.
"No one sees the reconciliation, but God knows it." Small blue-and-white medicine bottles, which started in the Qing Dynasty, are like exquisite handicrafts. Blue-and-white patterns are often painted by combining patterns and ornamentation. The lines are simple, combined with dot dyeing, which makes the scenery outlined by the patterns "specious". These small porcelain vases are not only beautifully shaped, but also reflect the creativity of the author.
There are many "flower dew" with different effects recorded in medicine bottles, but the only existing "dew" drugs on the market are honeysuckle dew which can relieve infantile malnutrition. By chance, Chen Min received a medicine pot named "Xianfo Xianglu" from a Hangzhou collector. The pot was round and had no handle. The pot was painted with nine ladies, holding Ganoderma lucidum and peach, and beside the blue unicorn.
"There is Qingyutang in the south and Tongrentang in the north". Hu Xueyan, a businessman with red top in Qing Dynasty, named his brand name of Chinese medicine, and chose the word "Qingyu" from "Where there is a good house, there must be Qing Yu" in Zhouyi. Xianfo Xianglu is made by Hu Qingyutang. This dew is not only a first-class drink, but also has magical curative effect. Chen Min explained: "The design of the pot body implies the medical feelings of' hanging the pot to save the world', the lady symbolizes the skill of nine yin, and the unicorn is in line with the folk old saying' Kirin sends the child'.
Tongrentang once produced a small manual life-saving medicine bottle. The copper bottle body was engraved with "Kyoto Tongrentang" and "Salvation Pill". The bottle cap and the bottle base were hollow and hung around the neck with a rope in series. Pills are stored in bottles and can be taken immediately in case of emergency, which is very convenient. "This is the first aid!" Every time he thinks about this, Chen Min is amazed at the wisdom of his predecessors. With his eloquence, these chronological medical books seem to light up instantly.
A piece of ice heart for 3 years
Although he grew up in a metropolis, Chen Min has a different world from urban children. The elders usually like to plant flowers and raise grass. Chen Min is deeply impressed and has a special feeling for flowers and plants. Perhaps I love my dog, but Chen Min has always loved Chinese medicine since he was a child. When he passed by a Chinese pharmacy when he was a child, he always went in to smell it, and he lingered for a while before leaving angrily.
In the process of collecting medicine bottles, Chen Min accidentally learned that Japanese and Koreans bought a lot 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 the Japanese and Koreans were able to offer a sky-high price in 3 yuan, which was simply unmatched by me." At that time, he secretly vowed that he would never let traditional treasures go abroad when he could. A small medicine bottle has thus opened the way for Chen Min to study, collect and inherit Chinese medicine culture for 2 years. ?
Chen Min often warns students that Chinese medicine is the treasure left by our ancestors. While we are still engaged in a war of words about the abolition of Chinese medicine, foreign collectors are sparing no expense to collect our cultural relics of Chinese medicine. "So I can accept one more, that is, leave one more for our country and for our future generations." ?
A few years ago, Chen Min learned that there was a set of precious ancient medical books, and immediately put down his chopsticks and drove hundreds of kilometers. Almost at the same time, a Japanese collector got the news and offered a higher price. The seller hesitated in front of the heavy money. Seeing that it was getting late, he asked the buyer to go back and wait for news. As a result, Chen Min stayed at the door all night and finally moved the seller to get the treasure. ?
Due to the erosion of time, many ancient books collected have been fragmented. Chen Min sent them to professionals to repair them carefully. A former Qing Gongsheng copied "Medical Zhaojinliang" by hand, and became a monk and retired after enlightenment. The seller of this book is a Chongqing native. At that time, he and Chen Min had not met for six years, and only one phone call, they decided. When the thread-bound manuscript was transferred to Chen Min's hand, a lot of paper 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, and he is not only good in character, but also generous in treating people," said Luo Zhonghua, a member of the Red Collection Committee of China Collectors Association. "In terms of the inheritance and collection of Chinese medicine culture, few people are willing to make such efforts." Chen Min has made many friends in Hangzhou collectible market, and Luo Zhonghua is one of them. Now, three old friends have passed away one after another. Before one died, he gave away all the medicines he had collected for 4 years. Chen Mindun felt a heavy responsibility.
The traditional treasure society has been searching for decades. With the increasing collection, how to effectively preserve, research 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 rescued conscientiously by one's own efforts, and now a huge treasure house has been formed. However, to realize the application value of the collection, it needs the support of all walks of life to carry forward it. ?
In p>216, the State Council released the Outline of the Strategic Plan for the Development of Traditional Chinese Medicine, and in the beginning of 217, 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 to set up a non-governmental museum of traditional Chinese medicine with the help of all parties, and systematically display these collections to the public, so as to become a base for studying thousands of years-old famous medical numbers and promoting Chinese medicine culture." It is reported that there are currently three folk medicine museums in China, which are located in North Shanghai and Chongqing. ?
A good doctor was once one of the spiritual homes of China literati. Between "being up to speed can help the world" and "being poor can help the world", there is also a "doctor who can help the world" that also reflects the feelings of home and country. There is a plaque in Chen Min's home, which is exactly the four characters of "Gong Tong Liang Xiang", with couplets on the left and right, allusions on the upper and lower sides, the first part is "Shu Mai Hua Tuo's prescription hangs on the elbow", the second part is "Famous Bian Que Changsang gives a true biography", the first part is "Apricot Forest is Full of Spring" and the second part is "Orange Jing Quan Fragrance".
No matter how high the temple is, or how far away it is from the rivers and lakes, the great wisdom of doctors who have helped the world for thousands of years in joining the WTO and leaving the world is obvious between the lines. Looking through Chen Min's book catalogue, the secret treasure of teaching gynecology in Fenglin Temple copied by scholars during the reign of Emperor Qianlong of Kangxi, the manuscript of the encyclopedia of martial arts and traumatic treatment in Luling County collected by the Qing government, the prescriptions sealed by Liu Bowen and Zheng Zhilong, the true-looking atlas of Wuyue that flowed into Japan and eventually returned to their homeland, and even the manuscript written by Xu Yong, a famous Shanghai Nanhui in 1826, corrected some public information. Chen Min is looking forward to it. In the future, he will compile these treasures into books, build a small collection and pass them on to the world. Not everyone can be a book guardian. Chen Min pointed to the words in a Taoist book and warned himself: "Can you put yourself in hell? You can't give people a gift by Taoism. There is a treasure in the world, and there is no magic weapon in the world. Those who leak slowly will suffer forever." ?
