Traditional Chinese Medicine Guide

some plants alive, called the landscape, dead called medicine.
plant regarded as a man’s best friend, and we are always eager to remove himself and the strangeness between them. While we constantly and plant met, but we often they turn a blind eye, able to call out the name of the pitiful, let alone understand their properties up.
not plant in the world, is unthinkable.
when you know the plant high, you will always be that they moved. I have used ordinary childhood memories of some familiar friends – wolfberry, Eucommia, Polygonum multiflorum, swollen face grass. . . . . . And they get along, you will always feel like the quiet village stroll.

Eucommia, in the side are rare. Lived 20 years, I was just old Chinese origin, a distant relative of home behind the house saw three. Unfortunately, I heard that they were later door closing medicines Yao Fanzi with branches, leaves and to endure the verge of death. Better days gone, I do not know whether they are safe! Now the elderly have passed away, and that three of Eucommia and his home on the last chat “blue capsule serve our community, yellow Volume housekeeping” of the couplet, still deep to stay in my memory.
Polygonum is a reflected green plant of my childhood. Childhood, the village on to the majority Tsuchiya, Polygonum multiflorum vine almost every one covered with the back wall Tsuchiya, Xia Tiansheng to green. Later, the small partners heard that the soil is called “Trichosanthes basket” of the root can be sold for money, Polygonum of the world will no longer be peace – business for a number of plants brought disaster!

From childhood to fight ragweed, it is often seen them scrambling to fill the dry riverbed. If breaking their stems, it will emerge an white sauce.

city is artificial, and countryside is God made. In the cloning era, the traditional things deteriorated and rural fate relatively isolated, and I for those with rural life and death dependent plants were the fate of worried.
wind do not come, the west wind could not afford, like a beautiful dream of butterflies, flutter and to. In the past, has always dreamed of himself as a bird, because of good flying wings and have the whole sky. Now, I just want to make an ordinary plant, and the inch of land welcomes you four seasons, life and death only in the step between.
sunshine, calm, night in the quiet, the rain of sings, the breeze in front of Man Wu. . . . . . Plants, each state is the connotation. Is part of their soft and unassuming, always reminding me – a man, to like plants.
