During the Wei and Jin Dynasties, Buddhism and Taoism prevailed. "Among the 480-high temples, there is a house in the mountain that belongs to Taoism. The incense sticks are full of flames, and the smoke from the kitchen is not accompanied by the sunset glow (Volume 9 of Fang Qing Yu Run and People's Rain Collection), which is a religious conference meal in the history of China. Later generations once ridiculed that "the Southern Dynasties destroyed Buddhism, and the emperors replaced Daodan" (Li Zhi Wenling Collection, Volume 17). In this atmosphere, the way of cultivating the mind and keeping in good health has been handed down quickly, and the Buddha can cultivate the mind and prolong life. As a result, men's cooking pots and alchemy, as well as women's plastic surgery, suddenly became a fashion ("Lu Ji Lu Ji", volume 12). During the prosperous Tang Dynasty, the country was rich and the people were strong, and the transportation in the western regions and the women were plump and graceful, which made them more popular. Ejiao has also become a royal palace. "Mrs. Guo has a long eyebrow and is like a rabbit wrapped in clothes. Donglai Ejiao has three lights a day, which is enough to charm the king "(Zhu Mingke wins" Autumn Boat Diary "and laughs at Tang Shi). He joked that Yang Guifei's sister drank Ejiao three times a day to please Tang. Bai Juyi's "Song of Eternal Sorrow" contains "It was early spring. They let her bathe in a pure pool to warm and smooth her creamy skin. " Later generations made such a calculation and explanation when taking a bath in Xiaoxing: "Lead flowers are washed according to the abundance, and it is difficult to stop the rain." Tibetan Gillian refused to tell the truth, saying only that she was born a gentleman "(Supplement to the Poems of the Tang Dynasty Palace, Volume 5). His statement may be speculative and ridiculous, but it reflects the fact that Ejiao was popular in the Tang Dynasty.
Ancient doctors had strict laws and regulations, and gelatin made from donkey skin and underground water in Dong 'a was rejected as fake. However, in the eyes of ancient doctors, even genuine Ejiao, which meets two necessary and sufficient conditions, is still different. As the saying goes, people have dragons and phoenixes, and glue has the best. The name of this kind of gourmet Ejiao is Jiutian Gongjiao, which sounds respectable, but it actually means "there is truth in it, I want to argue and forget what I said." Even Chen Xiuyuan, a medical expert in Qing Dynasty, had to collect books and sigh: "After listening to the article, it's hard to say this. What's wrong? " Chen Xiuyuan thinks that we are ignorant, and it is difficult to understand that nine-day tribute glue is the best, but people have their own simple understanding. In Dong 'e, there is a folk song circulating everywhere. The song sings: "Little black donkey, white belly, pink nose, pink eyes and pink hooves, walk three times on the bridge in the city, roll on Shaodai Mountain, slaughter and skin it on the winter solstice, and boil the glue to get Yin and Yang." Don't underestimate this country tune. Behind the warm and pleasant songs, it just reveals the secret of the best Ejiao. Interpretation in academic language is as follows: first, the selected donkey species must be black donkeys; Second, the time must be the winter of solstice; Third, the glue must be boiled with yin and yang water, that is, Dong 'e groundwater. Why does the best Ejiao have to use black donkey skin? Chen Xiuyuan said: "Those who must use black skin must moisten their hearts with water. Black belongs to the kidney, and it means taking water and fire to help each other." Then why can fire and water help each other? Chen Xiuyuan is indeed everyone. He said earnestly: "So wonderful people are also horses, which are fire and wind; Blood stored in the liver is stored in the wind and viscera, and now it is introduced into the liver meridian by donkey skin wind-moving drugs; Also take the calmness of Ashui, calmly brake, and wind and fire will destroy yin and blood. " Note that Chen Xiuyuan repeatedly emphasized that fire and water should help each other, so the time must be chosen on the winter solstice, so it is understandable that "the winter solstice is a sunny day", which still means that fire and water should help each other. In the hot water, Ejiao won eternal life. Zhu, a master of Neo-Confucianism, is the most filial to his mother: "When a loving mother is old, it is best to be calm. Eat less and eat more fruits and vegetables. Colla Corii Asini and Radix Salviae Miltiorrhizae as auxiliary materials. Geng Yan continues his life and his children pray. " ("Zhu Ziwen Paper Money" Volume 42). It can be seen that Dong 'e Ejiao has been following the dialectical theory of traditional Chinese medicine of "harmonizing qi and blood, balancing yin and yang, strengthening the body resistance and eliminating evil" since its advent in 2500 years. There is a close relationship between its medical practice and traditional cultural philosophy. It is this kinship that makes Dong 'e Ejiao constantly absorb nutrients and accumulate from the rich mother of China's traditional ideology and culture.
Ejiao, accompanied by emperors such as Li Shimin, Kangxi, Qianlong and Cixi, witnessed the vicissitudes of China's history. Ejiao's contacts with Cao Zhi, Kong Rong, Bai Juyi, Su Shi, Lao She, Guo Moruo and other famous people of all ages have enriched the glorious history of Chinese civilization. Ejiao is associated with Zhu, Zeng Guopan, and other historical celebrities, which embodies the traditional virtues of the Chinese nation in filial piety and respect for teachers. Ejiao associates with historical figures such as Wang Anshi, Zheng He, Li Hongzhang and French Jesuit missionary Father Dominique Parrenin, witnessing the healthy friendship between the Chinese nation and the people of the world; Ejiao, together with geographers such as Li Daoyuan and Shen Kuo, witnessed the contribution of the Chinese nation in geography and hydrology. Ejiao, Yang Guifei and Mrs. Guo witnessed the ancient traditional health preserving culture in China.
Dong 'e Ejiao, as a wonderful flower in the treasure house of traditional Chinese medicine, has developed for thousands of years. It has its unique advantages, long history, systematic theory, rich practice, vast literature and exquisite preparation. This is a science that has been tested by thousands of years of practice. Dong 'e Ejiao has the characteristics of social humanities and natural science, both material and intangible. What it really carries is the theory of traditional Chinese medicine, which is composed of sex, taste, meridian tropism and processing. It is not so much a medicine as a combined traditional medical concept. She has accumulated a very rich cultural heritage with life science and humanistic philosophy, and made great contributions to the prosperity of the Chinese nation for thousands of years and the progress of human medical civilization.
