About This Novel

Introduction to the novel: Song Yanchen, a down-and-out scholar, took root in the countryside with a volume of documents; Qi Xia, an orphan doctor, wandered into the village carrying a basket of medicinal materials. When they first met in the firewood shed of Songjiacun, he helped her distinguish the false from the true, and she healed his pain. The fragrance of medicine and ink lingered under the green tiles of the "Jishi Medicine House" ever since. From putting out fires on winter nights and writing fire prevention notices, to co-editing a "Collection of Medical Prescriptions" to treat infected people in neighboring counties; from experimenting with growing Uncaria and improving medicinal gardens, to promoting "mutual aid of medicinal materials" to relieve famines in the north and south - they used the countryside as an examination room, used medicine to treat people's livelihood suffering, and used documents to set standards for medicinal materials. His account books record the harvest and people's hearts, and her medicine basket contains vegetation and good prescriptions. From the small village beside the "Tongxin Bridge" to the water network medicine fields in the south of the Yangtze River, and then to the seepage wells in the north, every step is imprinted with the original intention of "people's livelihood first". When the "National Pharmacopoeia of Medicinal Materials" was compiled and hundreds of medicinal herbal schools were established across Kyushu, the two people with frost-stained temples looked back at their origins: Scutellaria baicalensis back then was still growing in the medicine garden, and children back then could already take care of themselves. It turns out that the best career is never the official title, but letting the fragrance of medicine float into the kitchens of thousands of families; the longest companionship is never the vows, but when he writes documents, she is always hanging the newly picked medicinal materials next to him. This is a story about taking root in the land - using medicine as a blade and ink as a boat to protect the health of the people and pass on the deep love of vegetation for a lifetime.
