Medical allusion to the legend of honeysuckle

Honeysuckle is the flower bud and first flower of honeysuckle, a perennial semi-evergreen winding woody vine of the honeysuckle family. Honeysuckle is sweet and cold, and its function is to clear heat and detoxify, and evacuate wind and heat. The general dosage is 6 15 grams, decoction in water, or into pills. Do not use it if you have spleen and stomach deficiency and qi deficiency and are weak.

Story 1: Our ancients have discovered that honeysuckle can detoxify bacteria. Zhang Bangji's "Mozhuang Manlu" in the Song Dynasty recorded such a story: during the Chongning period, several monks of Baiyun Temple in Tianping Mountain, Pingjiang Prefecture, collected a basket of wild mushrooms from the mountain to cook.

Unexpectedly, the wild mushroom was poisonous, and the monks began to vomit and diarrhea after a full meal. Three of the monks were safe because they took fresh honeysuckle in time, while the other monks who did not take honeysuckle in time all died in vain. It can be seen that the detoxification effect of honeysuckle is extraordinary.

Story 2, Zhuge Liang was in the process of capturing Meng Shu seven times, most of the soldiers were not accustomed to the water and soil, and they fell into the miasma of Shanlan. Later, after passing through a small village, seeing that the villagers had yellow faces and thin muscles, Zhuge Liang suddenly felt compassion and distributed military rations to rescue. The villagers were very grateful, and when an indigenous white-haired old man learned that many Shu soldiers were suffering from "heat poison", he called his twin granddaughters:

Jinhua, Yinhua, you go to pick a few baskets of immortal medicine to solve problems for the Shu army. Three days later, however, the sister had not returned. People searched in many ways, and on a mountain cliff, they saw that two medicine baskets were full of herbs, and there were the footprints of wild wolves and torn clothes and shoes on the side of the baskets, ......

The soldiers of the Shu army ate the herbs and were saved, but the golden flower and honeysuckle gave their lives for this, in order to commemorate them, people called the flowers of this herb "honeysuckle".

In addition, in the Han Dynasty's Chinese medicine monograph "Shennong's Materia Medica", it contains honeysuckle, saying that it "does not wither in winter"; The Jin Dynasty poet Duan Keshi said: "There are vines, herons, and vines, which are born non-human, and the silver stamens between the golden flowers are green and self-contained."

1. According to legend, a long time ago, a scholar and a rich lady fell in love. One day, when the two of them were walking together, they found that there was a flower blooming in pairs, and the two touched the scene and fell in love, pointing to the flower and making a private decision for life. But the rich lady's parents did not agree, disgusted with the poverty of the scholars, and broke them up.

The scholar was indignant, won the top prize in high school, and married his lover. Later, the two also filled the yard with the flower seeds that were used to make love, that is, honeysuckle.

2. The flower language of honeysuckle is to dedicate love to you wholeheartedly, as well as true love. Because it is usually a pair of flowers, blooming in pairs, it is like a mandarin duck dance, and the mandarin duck represents true love, so it has this flower language. In addition to this, there is also the meaning of kindness.

Because it is not only a flower, but also a medicinal material, it can defeat fire, clear heat and detoxify, and has high medicinal value, just like the quality of human kindness.
