Floating wheat Folklore:

Wang Huaiyin, a famous doctor in the capital during the period of Taiping and Xingguo in the Song Dynasty, went to the backyard to check the dried Chinese herbal medicines one day after the rain. When he found a new pile of wheat, he asked: "who will send these thin and empty wormy wheat? 'the man replied: 'it was sent by Zhang Dahu in the south of the city. "He was about to say something when he saw an emergency patient. The patient's husband pleaded with Wang Huaiyin:" Mr. Wang, my wife has been angry for some reason recently. Sometimes she cries and laughs. She is restless all day. Sometimes she even hurts people and destroys things. I'm really afraid of people. Now please be kind and help her get rid of the disease and Exorcism! "

Wang Huaiyin cut off the woman's pulse, asked about her illness, stroked her beard and said with a smile: 'don't be scared. It's a woman's visceral mania. After that, he wrote a prescription: licorice, wheat and jujube, which means to use the good prescription of Ganmai Dazao Decoction in "synopsis of the Golden Chamber" by Zhang Zhongjing, a medical sage in the late Han Dynasty, to treat the mental and psychological symptoms of menopause. When the man took medicine to help the sick woman, she added: "Sir, I almost forgot that she often sweats at night, and her sweat often gets wet through her clothes. Wang Huaiyin nodded and said: 'well, I know. Let's cure the visceral mania first. '

Five days later, the woman and her husband happily came to thank Wang Huaiyin and said gratefully, "Mr. and I will never forget the great virtue of saving our lives. Wang Huaiyin asked with concern: 'will you treat night sweats again today? 'the woman said with a smile: 'no, it's all healed. '

Wang Huaiyin thought to himself, does Ganmai Dazao Decoction also have the effect of stopping night sweats? Later, he looked up the prescription for treating night sweats, but he was puzzled. Just at this time, Wang Huaiyin was shocked by the quarrel between the shop boy and Zhang Dahu. The man held a handful of wheat sent by Zhang Dahu and said: 'how can I collect such wheat? Don't think you can make do with medicine. Take back the shriveled wheat! "Wang Huaiyin recalled that the wheat that the woman used last time was the shriveled wheat sent by Zhang Dahu, so he hurried forward and said: 'brother Zhang, your wheat is & hellip; & hellip; Before Mr. Zhang finished speaking, he blushed and told the truth: 'this is the wheat floating on the water. I'm reluctant to discard it. I think it's OK for medical treatment, so I sent it. After listening, Wang Huaiyin seemed to have learned something from it, so he told the clerk: 'take it for the time being, put it in another place, and mark it with the word "floating wheat". '

Later, Wang Huaiyin tried to treat night sweats and Hypohidrosis with floating wheat. As expected, he cured one by one, and gradually realized the efficacy of floating wheat. In the third year of Taiping's rejuvenation, he and his fellow friends Wang Hu, Zheng Qi and Chen Zhaoyu devoted themselves to the study of Zhang Zhongjing's medical works, and co edited Taiping Shenghui Fang, which recorded the efficacy of floating wheat in the book.
