In ancient times, human beings obtained food by gathering and hunting to maintain their lives.
In order to keep people from going hungry, a god named Shennong came to the world to teach people how to plant grains and use their own labor to ensure adequate means of subsistence. Shennong is a loving god. He has a bull's head and a human body, and his strength is endless. He often helps poor families to farm, and works hard for mankind like an ox.
Humans learned to farm with Shennong, and when they got enough food, they never worried about going hungry. However, many people often get sick after eating enough.
Some people get sick and don't get well for a long time, so they can only survive until they die. After this kind of thing was known by Shennong, he felt very anxious. He didn't believe the witch doctor, but he didn't have a cure for the disease.
So he discussed with many people how to cure people's diseases and get rid of them. He thought of many ways, such as roasting with water, sun exposure, freezing, etc., although they can alleviate the symptoms of some diseases, the effect is not ideal.
One day, Shennong came to Jingang, Taiyuan, Shanxi Province, and tasted the plants, and found that the plants had various flavors such as sweet and sour. He gave bitter grass to people who coughed a lot, and this person's cough was relieved immediately. Give sour grass to a person with a sick stomach, and this person's stomach will not hurt.
It's very hard for an imperial doctor to taste herbs. It's not only necessary to climb mountains and walk to find vegetation, but also life-threatening to taste herbs. In order to find medicine, Shennong was poisoned times a day. Shennong was poisoned to death and was in great pain.
But with his strong physical strength, he stood up strongly and continued to taste more vegetation. There are so many kinds of plants and trees on the earth that it is countless. In order to speed up the taste of plants and trees, Shennong used a tool called "God Whip" or "Ochre Whip" to whip all kinds of plants and trees. After being whipped by Ochre Whip, these plants and trees are toxic, bitter or sweet, cold or hot, and all kinds of medicinal properties are naturally revealed.
Shennong treated human beings according to the different endowments of these plants. He used the magic whip on Chengyang Mountain and found many herbs with remarkable curative effects, such as licorice can treat cough, rhubarb can treat constipation, Huang Lian can reduce swelling and so on.
So Chengyang Mountain is called Shennongyuan, also called Herb Mountain. Human beings live in the world, suffering from many diseases, but the plants and trees found by Shennong have few therapeutic effects. In order to treat more diseases, he kept tasting more plants and trees.
once, when he tasted a vine-like plant with small yellow flowers in a crevice, he ate the flowers and stems in his stomach. Not long after, he felt a terrible pain in his stomach, as if his intestines were broken, and he was so painful that he rolled around the ground. In the end, Shennong failed to stand up and was poisoned by this grass.
Although Shennong was poisoned, he used his life to find a kind of poisonous grass, and people named it heartbroken grass. 2. What's the saying behind the sorcerer's musician?
The teacher said (Tang) Han Yu
Ancient scholars must have teachers. Teacher, so preach and accept the industry to solve doubts. People are not born knowing, who can be without doubt? If you are confused and don't follow the teacher, it will be confusing, and you will never understand it. Before I was born, I learned the Tao before I was born, so I learned from it. After I was born, I learned the Tao first, so I learned from it. I am a teacher, and I know that my husband was born in my life! Therefore, nothing is expensive, nothing is cheap, nothing is long, nothing is short, what the Tao exists, and what the teacher exists. Hehe! It's been a long time since the teachings of teachers were passed on, and it's hard to be puzzled. The ancient sage, who is also far away, is still asking questions from the teacher; Today's people are far from being saints, and they are ashamed to learn from their teachers. Therefore, the sage is beneficial to the sage, and the fool is beneficial to the fool. What makes saints holy and fools stupid? If you love your son, choose a teacher and teach him. If you are in his body, you will be ashamed of your teacher and confused. It is not what I call a teacher of the boy who teaches books and learns their sentences from readers. I don't know, I don't understand, I don't know, I don't know, I don't know, I don't know, I don't know. Witch doctors, musicians, and skilled workers are not ashamed to learn from each other, while those who say "teacher" and "disciple" are gathered together and laugh. When asked, he said: He is similar to that year, and his way is similar. His humble position is full of shame, and his official position is close to admiration. Whoo! It is clear that the teacher's way is gone. Witch doctor, musician, skilled worker. My son is contemptuous, but now his wisdom is beyond his reach, which is strange and embarrassing! Saint impermanence teacher. Confucius studied with Tanzi, Xunzi, Shixiang and Lao Dan. The disciples of the scorpion are not as wise as Confucius. Confucius said, "In a threesome, there must be a teacher." Therefore, a disciple need not be inferior to a teacher, and a teacher need not be superior to a disciple. There is a sequence of knowledge, and there is a specialization in the art, that's all. Li Zipan, seventeen years old, is good at classical Chinese and six arts, and is well-known in Xi Zhi, regardless of the time, learning from the rest. Yu Jiaqi can walk the ancient road, and the teacher said to make it.
[6] Witch doctor: In ancient times, people who used superstitious methods such as prayer and divination or used drugs to treat diseases were also called witch doctors. Yi Zhou Shu Da Ju has a record of "witch doctor". "The Analects of Confucius Ji Shi": "A man without constancy cannot be a witch doctor." As a low occupation. Baigong: refers to craftsmen in general. Confucius said, "A man without perseverance can't be a witch doctor.
Specifically, a man without perseverance can't even be a witch doctor.
among them, witch doctors, that is, wizards and doctors, often seek help from ghosts and gods to cure diseases, so witch doctors are often mentioned together. Witch doctor is a person with dual identities, who can not only communicate with ghosts and gods, but also engage in medicine. He is a person who is more specialized in medicine than ordinary wizards.

Original text: Confucius said: "People in the south have a saying:' A man who is not constant cannot be a witch doctor.' Shanfu! Don't be constant in virtue, or be ashamed of it.' Confucius said, "Don't take it."
Vernacular translation: Confucius said: "There is a saying in the south:' Without perseverance, people can't even be a witch doctor.' This sentence is very good! The epigram in the book of changes and the hexagrams says,' If you are half-hearted and have sex, you will inevitably be humiliated.' Confucius added, "This means that people who have no perseverance don't have to read divination."

Confucianism in "Man is not constant":
Confucius has two meanings in this sentence: First, man must have perseverance in order to achieve his career. Second, people must maintain virtue for a long time, otherwise they may suffer humiliation. This is his request to himself and a warning to the students.
Confucius first quoted southerners and thought that southerners were right. People who have no perseverance can't learn the skill of witch doctors, because there are too many difficulties in it, and we will feel the same way when reading Yi today. Furthermore, Confucius quoted the hexagram 93 in the Book of Changes, saying, "Don't be constant in virtue, or be ashamed of it", which means that if you do business and cultivate virtue, if you don't persevere, you will never have a good result and you will eventually suffer humiliation.
