Introduction

North latitudethirtyQi Ai

Five hundred years ago, a jar of wine witnessed its regal aura

Five hundred years later, a beam of light revealed the mystery of its penetration

The experience of ancient people, the science of modern people

On Qiai, a dialogue spanning time and space was completed

The Qizhou Medicine Hall in the Ming Dynasty

Inside the pharmacy, the fragrance of medicine lingers. Li Shizhen is lying at the desk writing furiously, with the tip of her pen onCompendium of Materia Medica");">There was a rustling sound on the paper. On the side, young disciple Acheng was tidying up mugwort. He couldn't help but pick up a plant and sniff it closely, then pursed his lips and put it down.

Li ShizhenGlancing at him and asking：Acheng, you've been tossing and turning that mugwort for half a day. What's wrong with you

Acheng scratchedwearheadask the master：Master, I don't understand - all mugwort plants in the world look the same. Why do people in Qizhou dare to say that their own mugwort is a 'king'? Can it still grow three heads and six arms

Upon hearing this, Li Shizhen put down her pen and smiled slightly. He got up and walked to the shelf, took down two unglazed pottery wine jars, and instructed Acheng to bring in several new jars of wine.say,Ai Cao doesn't have three heads or six arms, but a king has his own temperament. Today, let it speak for itself

Medicine Hall Backyard Outside

On the stone table in the courtyard, two pottery jars stand side by side. Inject the same new wine into the jar and seal the mouth tightly. Acheng is frantically preparing two piles of Ai Rong——A pile of products produced fromQizhou");">A bunch from elsewhere.

Li Shizhen pointed to the wine jar and gently induced itthe Way：Look at this pottery jar - although it's made of clay and has a hard wall, it still has invisible pores. Does it look like human flesh? It can ward off evil on the outside and ventilate on the inside. The wine in the jar is like the qi and blood in a person's body, it moves when it's hot and comes to life when it's on fire

Acheng widened his eyes了eye：Master, are you using a wine jar as a test for yourself

Li Shizhen smiled but remained silent, lighting two piles of mugwort：Come on, we'll each guard our own altar. You burn his mugwort, and I'll burn the mugwort. Slowly burn from the bottom of the altar, and see whose 'temper' sneaks in first

The two of them crouched down, holding mugwort sticks, aiming at the bottom of the jar, and slowly roasted.

a moment later，Acheng sniffed his nosesay: Huh? What's the smell

A faint aroma of wine, mixed with a faint scent of mugwort, wafted out of the jar in front of Li Shizhen. Li Shizhen remained calm and collected, unveiling the sealing paper at the altar opening——With a soft sound as thin as silk, the two of them looked up and saw ripples on the surface of the wine in the jar, like the first wrinkles of spring water, slightly rippling in circles, gentle yet firm. Acheng was stunned，Master, this wine... is aliveLi Shizhen slowly walked towards it againThe jar guarded by Acheng,Translate into EnglishThe sealing paper was lifted, and the surface of the wine was slightly warm and calm.

Li ShizhenSmiling slightly, he said:Did you see that? This is itSeparate.Qiai Mugwort——A moxibustion goes straight through. It's not that it has three heads and six arms, it's that it was born knowing how to cross barriers and reach straight inside. ”

Acheng murmured to himself：I'm drunk and even brought Ai XiangQiAi, that's really impressive'King'. ”

All things in the world have their own nature. Qi Ai was born in Qichun, at latitude 30 degrees north——The invisible line between heaven and earth seemed to have quietly given it a unique set of muscles and bones at the moment it took root. Five hundred years ago, Li Shizhen tested the mugwort in her backyard“The aura of a king”Five hundred years later, science will use the calmest way to apply the intuition of ancient peopleoneverification——Volatile oil, total flavonoidsCombustion calorific value");">Everything is top-notch.

It's not a big deal, as if heaven and earth have already matched the secret code.
