On the last day of July in the Agricultural Calendar, I went to Chaotian Palace, Beigang to seek medicine. It was not because my body was not suitable, but because I read a research report published by Dr. Lin Wenhong in the Journal of Chinese Medicine Materia Medica Health Promotion, "Exploring the Anti-inflammatory and Effectiveness of the Mountain Medicine in Temple Medicine Tags", which sparked my curiosity about Temple Medicine Tags.

Early autumn is really a good time to visit Chaotian Palace. The summer vacation is just over, and the number of tourists is obviously reduced. According to nearby businesses, the crowds will begin to increase by the Mid-Autumn Festival. Between the Spring Festival and the birthday of mother-in-law, the popularity of Beigang Town in Beigang Town is not too far away. The mother worshipped in Chaotian Palace in Beigang came to Taiwan in the 33rd year of the reign of Emperor Kangxi of the Qing Dynasty (1694). Today, it has a history of 329 years. The believers pray for the labels are not in danger, but not many people go to ask for medicine. I took out a few tabs from the label box at random, and some tabs had faded, and it may have been a long time since believers had drawn this tab.

The drug system that was transmitted from the first generation to Taiwan from the Hokkien generation was a way and hope for ordinary people to pray for time. After implementing the health insurance system and medical separation, the medical support system has become a public service in Taiwan that is proud of the world. The behavior of seeking medicine has become a history. However, by leveraging nursing knowledge from the content of the medicine, a lot of health care information can still be found. For example, Dr. Lin concludes the three most common Chinese medicines from the pharmacy text: Poria cocos, cymbidium, and shan medicine.

Dr. Lin Wenhong has studied the use of vanilla and Chinese herbal medicines for a long time. When he was volunteering at the Tianhou Palace in Zhunan, Miaoli, he found a dust-sealed drug box. His professional knowledge and curiosity led him to explore the contents of 120 tags, and then observed that the mountain medicine that he often eats in daily diet is actually the key point in the drug. As for the higher proportion of Poria cocos and mermaids appear, they are pure Chinese medicine and are not eaten by the public as a general diet, and they are not within the scope of homologous research on medicines.

After reading Dr. Lin's research report and asking him about the benefits of mountain medicine and the advantages and characteristics of mountain medicine in various places, I couldn't wait to visit the neighborhood of nearby mountain medicine. At the age of fifty, I have been living in a neighborhood where I have cultivated and ate myself, and have different kinds of mountain medicines. I was fortunate to meet the ripening season of the potatoes, which are originally from Japan and commonly known as "Japanese mountain medicine". He was digging mountain medicine in soft organic soil, and explained the benefits of mountain medicine to me.

The mountain medicine transplantation period is about eight months. When autumn comes, the leaves on the ground wither, which means that the blocks hidden in the ground have matured. Peanuts containing powder and protein can be eaten raw after peeling. The more mucus appears during peeling and slicing, the fresher the mountain medicine. Unearthed mountain medicine does not need to be washed with water or stored in the refrigerator. It can be kept fresh for more than three or four months at normal temperature. Jungju said that he ate Xinfenshan medicine dipped in honey every morning and felt very full. Shanyu not only can be eaten raw, but also can be cooked and cooked. Looking at the red light that filled the face of the neighborhood, I felt the sound of eating like this from tomorrow.

On the way back from Chaotian Palace in Beigang that day, I went to the nearby Xingang to visit Peiguitang. Peiguitang is the grandfather of Teacher Lin Qingmin, the old house of Dr. Lin Kaitai’s clinic. In the cabinet of the clinic, the equipment and pharmacy bottles and jars used that year were completely cleaned and placed. The sick wooden cabinet standing on the ground on the side made me want to put the medicine text on the Tiangong Palace. It is also a medical and economic citizen, and the same voice to save suffering is all compassion. And the Jung Ju, who always smiled, told me, "Superbing is to cultivate the mind, treat the body well, treat the environment well, and accept the changes in the body calmly" are all time!
