德國藥事博物館 German Pharmacy Museum

 大家好！

德國藥事博物館 

旅行期間去德國海德堡大學附近的海德堡城堡內的德國藥事博物館，

剎那間覺得好像絲路之旅延伸到那裡！

 

我對中藥有一種濃厚的感情，

原由於年輕的時候碰過一位業餘幾乎是神中醫的人士，他也是東港地區大家熟悉的陳先生義診大德，他扭轉我對中醫的認識。

到現在，記得他的人們還很多，可惜過世的太早！

 

我記得第一次見面的時候，他說：

古時候有一個宰相回鄉被一些鄉裡的游手好閒少年調侃，

宰相原諒了他們，結果他們就變好，

我說：那不一定啊，

有時候你原諒一個人，那個人有可能會更可惡，把他氣的吹鬍子瞪眼睛！哈

 

半個小時以後，他沒有說話朝我點點頭表示同意，我對他大起佩服，畢竟他年齡大我很多，竟然同意我的看法。

 

兩三年後，他大概意識到自己要走了！跟我說他的藥單全部留給我好了，

我說：我又不會看診，又不會把脈，留那些也沒有用，（我把中醫的書全套看完，知道病的變化是很大的）

他也點點頭認同我的看法。

後來又認識了蔡智美老師，他是好心肝基金會創辦人許金川教授的表妹，

他們那個大家族醫生也多，智美老師對我的護持也不曾少過！

在德國看到這些草藥舖流連加興奮。

Greetings, friends of NanZen!

 

During my trip near Heidelberg University in Germany, I visited German Pharmacy Museum in the Heidelberg Castle. In that moment, it felt like the Silk Road journey had extended there!

 

I have a strong affection for Chinese medicine. It all began when I first met Mr. Chen, an almost legendary amateur Chinese medicine practitioner, during my youth. He was a well-known philanthropist in the Donggang area, offering free Chinese medicine consultations.

He completely changed my perspective on traditional Chinese medicine.

Many people still remember him, but unfortunately, he passed away too early.

 

I remember the first time we met, he told me a story: 

In ancient times, a prime minister returned to his hometown and was mocked by some idle youths. The prime minister forgave them, and they became better as a result. 

I said, "That’s not always the case. Sometimes, when you forgive someone, they might become even worse, making you angry!" 

Half an hour later, he nodded in agreement without saying a word. I was deeply impressed, especially since he was much older than me and still acknowledged my viewpoint.

 

Two or three years later, he seemed to realize that he was passing away soon. He told me he would leave all his prescriptions to me. I said, "But I don’t know how to diagnose or take pulses. Those prescriptions wouldn’t help me." (I had read all the Chinese medicine books and knew that diseases change greatly over time.) He nodded, agreeing with my view.

 

Later, I met Teacher Tsai Zhimei, whose uncle is Professor Xu Jinchuan, the founder of the Good Liver Foundation”. Many members in their family are doctors and Teacher Tsai has always been very supportive of me. 

 

In Germany, I felt excited as I lingered in these herbal shops.
