Rebirth 1977 Great Era

Chapter 556: The efficacy is unknown and taboos are everywhere. The college entrance examination results are out (more updates with monthly tickets)

After hearing the news, Fangyan was basically certain that Heisong Station must have unearthed the large scale weight from the Eastern Han Dynasty's Minister of Agriculture's bronze weight. Otherwise, as far as he could remember, there didn't seem to be anything else unearthed there that could affect measurement.

This is a great thing, but I can’t share it with others.

Fangyan can only be happy secretly.

At this time, Meng Jimin asked the comrades from the Institute of Archaeology of the Palace Museum:
"Comrade, I wonder if you could take out the information on the Fifty-two Prescriptions for Diseases so that I can check it out?"

After that, he showed them what Old Ji had written before:
"Look here what Old Ji wrote."

After reading it, several comrades who had passed the graduate school entrance examination asked:
"I'm sure we can't get the original, but it's no problem to read the contents. Do you want to see a photo of the original, or our copy in modern simplified Chinese?"

Meng Jimin asked:
"The original is in seal script, right?"

"Yes." The former nodded.

Meng Jimin said:
"Then I can't understand it at all, just give me the translated content."

The other party was straightforward and said:

"No problem, I'll bring it over tomorrow."

At this time, Meng Jimin suddenly thought of a question, and he whispered to the person beside him:

"I'm on day shift tomorrow!"

The dialect said:

"It's okay. You can come to take over later tomorrow. Get the information here and then come back."

After listening to this, Meng Jimin nodded with satisfaction.

Hearing the dialect they were going to study, one of the comrades from the Palace Museum Archaeological Institute couldn't help but say:
"In fact, if you want to learn about and study the art of incantation, you might as well go directly to Taoist doctors. They are very good at this. At that time, our archaeological research institute consulted them."

"Later, I combined the ancient books with the Taoist doctors' own explanations and my personal experience, and concluded that Zhuyoushu should be a systematic spiritual therapy in ancient times."

Meng Jimin asked curiously:

"Your Institute of Archaeology has also studied this?"

The researchers at the institute said:

"Of course, studying the living habits and medical systems of the ancient people is also our job. Otherwise, why would we stay in the laboratory? Wouldn't it be better to dig directly on site?"

Meng Jimin said:
"I thought you were all focused on repairs and records like you are now."

They immediately began to complain:
"Ah, our work is not easy either. We need to understand a lot of ancient knowledge. After all, it has been buried underground for many years. We can only guess based on fragments of information. If there is some information passed down, it would be ok. We can also infer it from other angles. Especially if there is no information passed down, then it would be really..."

Meng Jimin suddenly felt that the dialect made his study of the art of incantation more like archaeology to some extent.

However, Fangyan heard some different clues, and he asked:

"In other words, you have also studied the art of incantation in depth?"

After hearing the question about dialect, a comrade from the Palace Museum Archaeological Institute said:
"It's not that deep, but we have learned some of the rules of Zhuyoushu. The Zhuyoushu that they have passed down now also emphasizes the master-disciple relationship. In addition, Zhuyoushu has very high requirements for the person who performs the spell, that is, the psychiatrist."

"For example, in the traditional concept of Zhuyoushu, the practitioner is required not to eat meat or kill animals."

"They believe that meat carries foul qi, and killing is an accumulation of karma. The practitioner must maintain his purity and must not touch these things. How many people can do this?"

Hearing this, Fangyan nodded.

If that's the case, he and Meng Jimin shouldn't do the research...

At this time, another comrade from the Institute of Archaeology added:

"There are more than just these rules. I still remember ancient records that true Zhuyou techniques have five precepts, ten virtues, eight taboos, four returns, five incurables, and six ineffectivenesses."

After listening to this, Meng Jimin said:
"Don't kill... That's not right. In the story of the Warring States Period, they killed people on the battlefield. Isn't that a violation of the precepts?" Fang Yan looked at Meng Jimin and nodded:
"Old Meng, you found the blind spot!"

Meng Jimin didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He had said the same thing to Fang Yan last night.

He stroked his chin, looked at the contents of the Imperial Collection of Medical Prescriptions again, and said:

"I feel like this Zhuyou technique has been passed down in a mess..."

Fangyan patted him on the shoulder:

"So you need to do dialectical research."

"..."Meng Jimin was speechless. It seemed that this job was not easy to do!

Then it was time for the afternoon work. Now without Lao Ji's participation, their restoration work slowed down significantly.

It’s not that without the leader, Old Ji, all of them started to slack off.

The main thing is that when Old Ji was here, he was able to arrange the transfers, but now that he is gone, his subordinates can only do what they have.

So the efficiency dropped, as if the production line was stuck.

But there is no other way. As long as the work can be pushed forward, it’s okay to go a little slower.

Two more books came out in the afternoon, and now only the last four are left.

Everyone knows that if you are lucky, all the prizes will be revealed tomorrow, but if you are unlucky, you will only be able to find them the day after tomorrow.

Of course, some people think that the rest might be in the eleventh volume that was lost during the day.

However, all this indicates that the work in the verification room of "Imperial Medical Prescriptions Collection" is nearing completion and will be completed soon.

Those who had found the book and were recorded in the book are now visibly happy.

I can hardly hold back the smile at the corners of my mouth.

We've been working on this for so long, aren't we just waiting for it to be over?
At that time, not only will the China Academy of Traditional Chinese Medicine receive rewards, but more importantly, these lost books that have been found will be linked to them, and inside the published books, it will be written that they were discovered by so-and-so and at what time.

This can be considered as a way to leave a name in medical history.

Among the 31 books found so far, five are written in dialects alone, which can be said to account for a large proportion.

And more importantly, these books were blessed by his system, enriching his knowledge base of traditional Chinese medicine and treatment methods.

As the research was about to end, Fangyan felt a little reluctant.

The current study of the Zhuyou technique is more like an act of doing everything possible to squeeze out the traditional Chinese medicine knowledge recorded in the "Yuxiu Yifang Leiju".

……

Five days passed in the blink of an eye.

It was January 1978, 1.

It happened to be the weekend. After breakfast, Fangyan was preparing to go to Union Hospital. As soon as he opened the door, he saw the postman putting mail into the mailbox at their door.

Fangyan was surprised:
"Comrade postman, are you working on this weekend too?"

After seeing the dialect, the postman said:

"No, today is different. Today we are delivering the college entrance examination transcripts. The superiors have arranged for us not to rest and ensure that they are delivered as soon as possible."

Hearing this, Fang Yan was startled:
"You mean... the college entrance examination results are out?"

PS: I got another hundred monthly tickets, so after finishing this chapter, I still owe you 94000 words.

There will be more in the afternoon
