Dr. Zhang Zhongjing invented Wushi Powder, and later celebrities made peace and improved it. Why did Sun Simiao insist on destroying it?
There were many doctors with superb medical skills in ancient history, such as Hua Tuo and Zhang Zhongjing. Today we will focus on Zhang Zhongjing. Zhang Zhongjing lived in the Han Dynasty. He wrote a book called Treatise on Febrile Diseases, which recorded various symptoms after injury in detail and how to prevent them.

Zhang Zhongjing made many achievements in his life, among which he developed a drug-Fifty Powder, which was widely circulated and even very popular in Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties. This medicine was originally used to treat intestinal diseases, but in the end it became the favorite thing for literati. Why do you say that? Everyone must say, why do you want to take medicine without illness? Well, although this medicine is used to treat gastrointestinal diseases, it has many side effects. One of the side effects is that after eating it, the human body will become thinner, rosy and beautiful, making people look energetic. So the magic of this medicine was widely circulated, and finally it was rumored that eating this medicine would make it beautiful.

After Zhang Zhongjing's death, his five-stone powder was handed down, which was basically eaten by many literati in Wei and Jin Dynasties. Because people in this special dynasty all pursued beauty, especially men, this medicine became their must-eat. Wang Xizhi, a famous calligrapher in history, and others like this thing very much. At that time, Sun Simiao was strongly opposed, because the side effects of this medicine were too great, which had affected the lives of normal people. And taking Wushi for a long time depends on it. If you can't leave this medicine from now on, it will be fatal, so Sun Simiao asked his disciples to burn it all before he died.

Sun Simiao did this because Wu Thirteen had violated their original intention of treating patients as doctors. Instead of saving lives, it has harmed more and more people. It was his idea to save lives by hanging pots. So Sun Simiao is still a doctor with humanistic spirit.
