Mayang Miao Medicine has a long history. Teng Jianjia, the municipal intangible cultural heritage inheritor of Huaihua , has been engaged in the research and clinical work of Miao medicine for more than 50 years. He is the founder of Mayang Miao Medicine. Recently, the reporter entered his "Miao Medical Diet" world.
medicinal food originated from my country's traditional diet and traditional Chinese medicine diet therapy culture, and is the product of the combination of traditional medicine and cooking skills. In long-term life practice, people have concluded that some plants can relieve the pain caused by diseases and have the effect of strengthening the body.
is located in Mayang in the border area of Xiangxi . The air is humid, providing a natural and excellent environment for the growth of plants, making this place a huge treasure house of herbal medicines. How to select rich herbal resources, and then match them with food based on local people's living habits, and then form medicinal foods that can relieve diseases and improve the body is a topic that the old Chinese doctor Teng Jianjia has been studying for decades.
74-year-old Teng Jianjia has been engaged in Miao doctor for more than 50 years and was the director of the Chinese Medicine Hospital of Mayang Miao Autonomous County. Teng Jianjia, who is now retired, has been rehired by the hospital and is in a weekly consultation.
"Remember not to eat sour and cold things when taking medicine, such as sauerkraut, cold dishes, and tofu. Don't drink cold water, drink water warm..." Teng Jianjia not only has a deep attainment in medical skills, but also has a unique habit when treating patients. Every time he prescribes a prescription for the patient, he will also prescribe an additional medicinal prescription for the patient.
"We Miao doctors believe that the human body is composed of five elements: gold, wood, water, fire and earth, and is divided into two poles of yin and yang. Coordination and harmony between yin and yang is health. Imbalance of yin and yang causes diseases, so the key to recovery lies in conditioning. Due to my own limited conditions, for special cases such as the elderly and children, in addition to prescribing the right medicine and supplementing with other dietary therapy, it can speed up the recovery of patients. This is exactly my original intention of founding medicinal food. Since the 1980s, I have begun to pay attention to my prescription and recommend medicinal food."
wants to prescribe medicinal food prescriptions that can both cure diseases and eat. In addition to having rich food and medical knowledge, how to choose and dig herbs, and how to prescribe medicines for the most effective? Teng Jianjia has worked hard for decades of exploration and practice.
"This is an herbal medicine, the Chinese medicine is called Cang'erzi . Our Miao family calls it Sheep's shit grass. This medicine mainly treats rhinitis . After picking it, you have to fry it with charcoal fire to deal with the thorns and hairs outside. This is called rabbit silk, which is called teng in the Miao family. This can be used as medicine or tea. Heart Stent and pacemaker have rejection reactions. This can be used as a reaction. There are more than 400 herbs on this mountain, and we often use it about 200 of them."
Mayang Mountain is full of dense forests. Although the transportation is inconvenient, it also gives locals inexhaustible medicinal resources. Here, every Miao doctor knows how to recognize medicine, collect medicine, and use medicine.
"The Miao people are known as "all herbs are medicine, and everyone knows how to treat diseases". The saying "three thousand Miao medicines, eight hundred prescriptions" is circulated among the people. There are unique methods and methods for the causes of diseases, the use of medicines, the name of medicines, the processing and preparation, and health care. Miao medicine is the medicine that the Miao people mainly treats diseases with plants. In my country, the Miao people are mainly distributed in Guizhou, Hunan and Yunnan."
How to combine medicine with food to cook is the last link of medicinal food. The medicine collected on the same day can be cooked on the same day, which can maximize the medicinal properties of the herbs.
"Miao doctor's medicinal food is different from traditional Chinese medicine medicinal food. The ingredients used in traditional Chinese medicine medicinal food are dry and processed. The materials used in Miao doctor's medicinal food are fresh and digging now and now. The same is true for treating diseases by Miao doctor. Fresh medicine is used for treatment."
Teng Jianjia's medicinal food, in addition to the need to use medicine for freshness, is also very particular about the combination of food and medicine. For example, this "cold lotus": lotus aromatic and dampness, onion relieves heat and expectoration, and the combination of pepper and red pepper can not only warm the middle and promote qi, but also stop diarrhea and resist bacteria and viruses.
"Only by making medicinal food that meets the patient's appetite can better effect the disease.Since I practiced medicine, I have seen that many children have a bitter taste in taking medicine and don’t like to eat it, so I combined traditional food therapy with Miao doctor’s drug therapy, and after I put the Miao medicine and food together, I achieved good results. The patients reported that they were delicious, and they also took the medicine and the rice. "
Most of his life have been dealing with herbs and patients. Teng Jianjia not only innovated medicinal food, enriching Mayang's longevity and health culture. His years of medical practice experience have also allowed him to accumulate many prescriptions for common and regional diseases. These prescriptions have been compiled into books one after another. Just like the precious herbs he planted in the yard, it was carefully cared for by Teng Jianjia and continued the local medical system.
In 2014, "Mayang Miao Medicine" was included in the fourth batch of intangible diseases in Huaihua City List of Representative Cultural Heritage. "Chen Jia of Huaihua Municipal Government has been rated as the inheritor of the Huaihua Municipal Intangible Cultural Heritage by Huaihua Municipal Government. "Mayang Miao Medicine" has inherited the ancient Miao medicine tradition. Teng Jianjia is unique and pioneered modern Miao medicine, making new contributions to the development of this national medicine.
thousand-year Miao medicine and ten thousand-year Miao medicine. Nowadays, most of Teng Jianjia's apprentices have been able to treat independently, and their medical ethics and styles are also quite master-like. The wonderful hands and benevolence of Miao doctors can be passed on continuously. (Reporter Li Pubing)
