Stalactite

It is a kind of stalactite aggregate in calcite (see "calcite" bar), which is cylindrical or conical. Common in limestone caves. It is formed by water solution containing calcium carbonate dripping down from the rock fissure, evaporating and depositing, gradually growing from top to bottom and falling down on the top of the tunnel.

[collection] after being collected, remove the miscellaneous stones. As thick as a wine glass, it is called stalactite; as thin as a tube, it is called didactite.

(1) stalactite

They are cylindrical or conical in shape, of different sizes, 5-15 cm in length and 2-7 cm in diameter. The surface is white, grayish white or grayish brown, rough and uneven. It is hard and heavy, with flat section, clean white or brownish yellow. A round hole can be seen in the center, and there are many circles around the round hole. There is no gas, and the taste is slightly salty. When dilute hydrochloric acid is added, a large number of bubbles are produced.

② Diorite

It is tubular or cylindrical, hollow, slightly curved, 3-5 cm long, 1-1.5 cm in diameter, and 1 mm in wall thickness. The surface is milky white or grayish yellow, mostly transparent, rough or slightly smooth. It is hard and brittle, easy to break, with glass luster on the fracture surface, large cavity, and some ring-shaped layers. There is no gas, and the taste is slightly salty.

The white and glossy ones are the best.

Produced in Guangxi, Guangdong, Hubei, Sichuan, Guizhou, Yunnan, Shaanxi, Gansu, Shanxi and other places.

Due to different shapes, stalactite has different names in Materia Medica. When calcium carbonate drops down from the top of the cave, it gradually condenses and droops to form an ice eaves like substance. The thick root disk attached to the stone is called "Gu sin"; the thinner part or hollow part below it is called "Kong Gong sin"; the thin cylindrical or tubular part below it is called "Zhong ru". Although the names are different, they belong to the same thing. Now I'll make one. But it is customary to use the bell milk part.

Dirushi is called "goose tube stone" in Materia Medica. At present, except for dirushi in some areas, the calcareous skeleton of Quercus coral is used in most areas. See the article "goose tube stone".

[chemical composition] the main component is calcium carbonate. In addition, it also contains a small amount of magnesium and a very small amount of acid insoluble residue.

[processing] stalactite: wash with water and break into small pieces. Calcined stalactite: remove the stalactite, calcine it in the crucible, take it out, cool it and grind it fine.

"The theory of thunder and roast": "the stalactite, the general practice, the law is boiled with five fragrances, and then spilled, and do not use licorice, purple sunflower juice stains, and then boil one volt. Eight taels of bell milk are boiled for one time with water and two taels of liquorice for the second time. Then they are boiled, dried and roasted slowly. Then they are put into a mortar, pestle like powder, sifted, and put into a bowl. Two or three young people can't stop studying for three days and nights. Then they are cleared with water and dried in a silk cage. They are dried in the sun Dry, and then into the bowl after 20000 times, to magnetic zygote storage. "

[discussion by famous experts] 1. In the compendium, it is said that "Shi Zhong Ru, whose Qi is ill, makes Yang Qi full, feeds twice as much, and has a strong body. The ignorant get this from celebrate, benefit wantonly, essence dark loss, stone gas alone, solitary Yang more blazing. For a long time, the camp and the guard did not follow, and their hair became drenching and thirsty, and turned into carbuncle. It was the fault of the fruit and milk stone, and the suppression of people's self taking. The common people's Yang and Ming Qi decline, use this medicine to save its decline, the disease will stop, why not. Five grains and five meats, if you have been addicted to them for a long time, you still have the disadvantage of being partial to them. "

② The classic of materia medica: "shizhongru, whose main cough is against the upper Qi, can not return to Yuan due to Qi deficiency. It is a syndrome of this kind. Its milk nature is warm and calming. If Qi can return to yuan, the disease will heal itself, so it can control it. Through a hundred Festival, benefit nine orifices, under the milk, the power of warmth. The treatment of weak pain and cold feet is also the experience of Yang Qi descending. Zhen Quan, who is in charge of cold sou and Tongsheng, uses heat to disperse evil and warm to dispel cold. Other kinds of beneficial theories should be the praise of the predecessors. If we examine their nature, we are afraid that they are unreasonable and not believed enough. "Stalactites are pungent and warm. If they are calcined with fire, they are undoubtedly poisonous. Even if they are used to treat deficiency and cold, they still need to be examined. Nine out of ten cases of yin deficiency and one out of 100 cases of Yang deficiency and internal cold are common diseases in the world. Therefore, since the Tang Dynasty, those who take Zhong Ru can't be remembered well. Those who take Zhong Ru and get effective don't hear about it. They can be illuminated by candlelight in reason.
