A kind of bug that imitates your speech(應聲蟲)
There was an official in the Song Dynasty
of China whose name was (Wu Jian). He wrote a collection of essays. There is a
very interesting story inside.
There is a middle-aged man whose name is (Yang
Mian). He has a very strange disease.
As long as he speaks, his stomach will make
a sound.
The sound is like a person imitating what
he said
He was troubled, but he searched all the
doctors and couldn't cure him, so he had to give up.
One day, he happened to meet a strange
Taoist priest.
When the two of them were talking, his
stomach kept making the sound of his speech.
The Taoist priest looked at him in
surprise.
He said embarrassedly.
I'm sick, and I'm trying to cure it, but I
can't find a way.
Taoist said.
I saw a record in an ancient classic book
that there was a person who lived with the same disease as you.
So I think there is a strange parasite in
your stomach, this parasite will imitate the human voice.
He asks.
Does the book you mentioned record how to
treat this disease?
Taoist said.
Yes, and this method is very simple.
You go to find an important Chinese
medicine book in ancient China. This book is called (Shen Nong's Materia
Medica).
He asks.
Then what should I do.
Taoist said.
You read the book aloud from the first
page. If your stomach does not make a corresponding sound when you recite that
medicine, you should write down the name of the medicine.
He did.
He asks.
What should I do next.
Taoist said.
You go to buy these special drugs that will
not cause your stomach to react.
After returning home, boil it and drink the
concoction.
He did.
The day after he finished drinking this
bowl of concoction, his illness would heal.
This idiom is used to describe a person who
does not have his own opinion, he is always echoing others.
Dear friend, how do you feel or think after
hearing this story.
Do you think modern mainstream medicine has
its limitations? Do you take Western medicine or Chinese medicine more often?
I hope this story will give you some new
gains.
應聲蟲(A kind of bug that imitates your
speech)
中國宋王朝有一個官員他的名字叫做(吳幵)。他編寫了一本雜文集。裡面有一個很有趣的故事。
有一個中年人，他的名字叫做(楊勔)。他得了一種很奇怪的病。
他只要開口講話的時候，他的肚子就會發出聲音。
這聲音就像是一個人在模仿他嘴巴所講出來的話
他很困擾，但是他找遍了所有醫生都無法治癒，他只好放棄。
有一天，他恰巧遇見一個陌生的道士。
他們兩個在對談的時候，他的肚子就一直發出他講話的聲音。
道士很驚訝地看著他。
他很不好意思的說。
我生病了，我也嘗試著要治癒，但是我找不到辦法。
道士說。
我在一本古代的經典書籍中有看見過一篇記載，有一個人生過跟你一樣的病。
因此我認為你的肚子之中，有一種奇特的寄生蟲，這種寄生蟲會模仿人類說話的聲音。
他問。
那你說的那本書有記載如何治療這種病的方式嗎。
道士說。
有的，而且這方法很簡單。
你去找一本古代中國重要的中醫藥書籍，這本書叫做(神農本草經)。
他問。
然後我該做甚麼呢。
道士說。
你從第一頁開始大聲朗讀這本書。如果你念到那一種藥物時，你的肚子沒有發出相對應的聲響時，你就把這個藥物的名稱記錄下來。
他就照做了。
他問。
下一步我該做什麼呢。
道士說。
你去買這幾種特殊的，不會讓你的肚子發生反應的藥物。
然後回家後熬煮後，把藥汁喝掉。
他就照做了。
他喝完這一碗藥汁的隔天，他的病就會好了。
這句成語被用來形容喔一個人沒有自己的主見，他總是在附和他人。
親愛的朋友，你聽完這個故事有怎樣的感受或有怎樣的想法呢。
你認為現代的主流醫學是否有其侷限性呢?你比較常服用西藥還是中藥呢?
我希望這故事能讓你產生一些新的收穫。
