Collection

Ganoderma lucidum

Stepping into the three-story traditional Chinese medicine exhibition hall of the museum, the first thing you see is not ginseng with well-developed roots, nor Polygonum multiflorum with strange shapes, but exquisite and lifelike animal specimens, as if this is not a museum of traditional Chinese medicine, but a museum of nature. "The sources of traditional Chinese medicine are divided into three categories: animals, plants and minerals," Lu told reporters. These specimens only directly illustrate the importance of animals as the source of traditional Chinese medicine. " Looking around the exhibition hall, the reporter found that the plant specimens in the glass containers are still "delicious", red flowers and green leaves, adding a lot of spring to the exhibition hall in Beijing in winter. "This is a plant specimen that we use special solvents to soak. These specimens can usually keep color for 20 to 30 years." Lu told reporters.

In the display cabinet at the entrance of the exhibition hall, a smooth and smooth stone with egg blue and silk stripes is particularly attractive. "This is Ma Bao, the stone in Ma's stomach and intestines. Animal calculus has the functions of detoxification, resuscitation, tranquilizing and phlegm resolving in traditional Chinese medicine. This horse treasure in our collection is very precious. It has a diameter of 11cm and weighs 1150G. It's very rare! " Mr. Lu pointed to the jade like "Ma Bao" and said. It turns out that animal stones can also be used as medicine. In fact, the bezoar in the famous Tongrentang Angong Niuhuang Pill is the gallstone of cattle, while the commonly known "goubao" is the stomach stone of dogs. These animal stone medicines are generally expensive.
