Materia Medica Time

"Herbal Time" uses an old medicine shop as a mirror, and through the daily life of Wei Bo and Xiao Man, blindly medicinal materials are turned into stories in time. From the warmth and sweetness of Wuhong Tang to the pungency of Si Chong Fang, from the strength of Qingfeng Vine to the fierceness of Rhubarb, each medicine holds the hand of the elders - the bamboo knife used by grandpa to pick Qingfeng Vine, the enamel bowl used by grandma to hold Wuhong Tang, and the time Uncle Wei spent by the fireside guarding the long-fried monkshood. The shape of the medicinal materials hides the secret language of nature: the cross-section of white peony root is like gelatin, the carapace of Tianlong is glowing with green light, and the down of Agrimony is stained with morning dew; the exquisiteness of preparation is wrapped in the temperature of inheritance: the Shouwu that is steamed and sun-dried for nine times removes the bad smell, the green wind vine stir-fried with wine adds strength, and the long-fried monkshood softens the potency. The wisdom of traditional Chinese medicine is hidden in the compatibility: red and black complement each other, hardness and softness complement each other, insect medicines are like spies, and rattan medicines are like channels. The story contains the truth that medicine can cure all diseases, and more importantly, medicine reflects the warmth of people's hearts - Granny Zhang's crane knees were stretched by Qingfeng Vine, the epilepsy of the strong boy was soothed by Si Chong Fang, and Aunt Li's hemorrhagic collapse was relieved by Agrimony. The fragrance of medicine spreads over the thunder of the Jingzhe, the rain of the great heat, and the snow of the winter solstice, and finally becomes a sentence: vegetation has its nature, and time has its traces. The older generation boils the days into medicine, and also boils the medicine into days.
