Why is "Gourd" the signboard of ancient medical practice?

I think gourd is a kind of mascot to ward off evil spirits and protect peace in the eyes of ancient people. In ancient times, there were often immortal Taoist priests who knew medical skills and put their refined Dan medicine in the gourd. For easy carrying and storage, it can be held in your hand or hung around your waist. In the process of traveling around. In the name of saving the world and practicing Buddhism. Send medicine to the poor. To ease the pain. There are also some charlatans. Measure the number of patterns on the face. There are also some tourists holding flags and banners in the process of practicing medicine in Langzhong. Hang a gourd to attract Yao to cross the market. During the treatment, some five-color pills were poured out from the gourd. Let the patient take it. In the hearts of the people, the image of guiding the maze, saving the world and saving mankind has been formed. Later, some Chinese medicine shops (halls) hung gourds. To help the world and save lives. As a result, the gourd has formed an industry signboard in people's impressions.

Baohulu? Of course, I want to explain the panacea inside.

There is medicine in the gourd.

Traditional Chinese medicine specializes in observing the color of respect numbers, studying pulse conditions, and pointing out the symptoms of zang-fu organs through pulse-taking, color-looking, listening and asking questions. This makes pulse diagnosis an original and effective non-destructive diagnostic method in China.

In ancient times, doctors used gourd as a signboard to show their superb medical skills. As long as people find gourds in the street, they find doctors. How did this happen? According to legend, in ancient times, there was a man named Fei Fangchang in the Eastern Han Dynasty, who was very clever and eager to learn. One day, he saw an old man with fair skin selling medicine. When the people dispersed, he jumped into a gourd hanging in a hotel. He felt that the old man was not an ordinary person, so he prepared a sumptuous banquet at the place where the gourd hung in the hotel. When the old man came out of the gourd, he immediately bowed down and asked the old man to accept him as a disciple and teach him his medical attitude. From then on, he became a man with superb medical skills and treated many patients. Because he used the gourd as a signboard when he was practicing medicine, people looked for a doctor when they saw the gourd, which became a conventional symbol used by Chinese medicine later.

The guess is this: the doctor put the medicine in the gourd early in the morning, and the doctor will carry the gourd. After a long time, it has become the gold-lettered signboard of Jianghu doctors. Even if there is no charge, they will take the gourd to see a doctor.

Gourd was used by three kinds of people in ancient times: monks, Taoists and healers.

Don't just look at the legend of Baidu. This legend may be a latecomer, or in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, there were already folk doctors carrying gourds, but it was not recorded by the people.

Ancient monks or Taoist priests carried gourds to hold wine to relieve summer fatigue and keep out the cold in winter.

In ancient times, doctors carried a gourd to charge, which was leak-proof, rain-proof, cloth-bag-saving, portable and conspicuous, so that farmers could know they were doctors at a glance and ask for help.

It's not necessarily that the doctor born in the Han dynasty carried a gourd, but we can't verify it.

In addition, most ancient practitioners came from two schools: Buddhism and Taoism. All experienced monks don't know the pulse and acupoints of the human body, don't know the power and wonderful use of Chinese herbal medicine, and don't follow the theory of yin and yang and the biochemistry of the five elements. Therefore, the ancient folk medical practitioners (Chinese medicine) were mostly the homes of the five elements of Yin and Yang. I'm afraid the gourd was put on my upper body when I was in Laozi and later in Zhang Tianshi. Gourd is also a container of Dan medicine.

In the past, people called doctors' medical practice "hanging pot", and doctors aimed at "saving the world by hanging pot". In fact, this "pot" should be a "gourd", that is, a "medicine gourd" is the fruit of a hard-shelled plant. After hollowing out the pulp in the middle, it becomes an excellent container. In ancient times, many doctors always put medicine in the gourd when they were walking around the street to treat people. Slowly, "medicine gourd" became a symbol of doctors. There is a folk proverb in China, when people can't figure out its meaning, they will say "What medicine is sold in the gourd", which is the extension of this meaning.

According to the Records of the Later Han Dynasty, in the Eastern Han Dynasty, there was a man named Fei Changfang who really wanted to learn medical skills to cure diseases. Once, he met an old man selling medicine in the street. According to people around him, the old man's medical skills are very good, and all patients who have taken his medicine can get immediate results. Therefore, Fei Changfang wants to learn from the elderly. He followed the old man quietly and followed him into a small hotel. Finally, he suddenly turned into a smoke and got into a gourd hanging on the hotel wall. Fei Changfang knew that the old man was by no means an idle person, which strengthened his determination to learn from his master. So the next day, Fei Changfang prepared a table near the gourd in that hotel, waiting for the old man to come out. Sure enough, the old man jumped out of the gourd in a short time, and Fei Changfang immediately kowtowed and bowed down and asked the teacher for advice. Seeing Fei Changfang's sincerity in learning, the old man accepted him as a disciple and taught him his medical skills. Fei Changfang quickly learned medical skills and achieved excellent clinical effects, which made him famous in one fell swoop. Seeing that he was learned, the old man traveled around.

Later, in order to commemorate the old man, Fei Changfang always hung a gourd on his body when he was practicing medicine.

Since then, doctors have imitated the gourd as a symbol to show their superb medical skills.
