Explain and analyze the document TK187"16-3 right and 16-5 left"unearthed from Khara-Khoto
Mr.Shen Shunong and others conducted a study on the Khara-Khoto Document TK187 of Russian collection and found that there is a suffix relationship between the texts of the right part of 16-3 and the left part of 16-5,which is believed to be a medicinal wine recipe.However,after analysis,it is believed that the content of TK18716-3 right and 16-5 left after suffixation should be two medicinal recipes.The content of the former ①~⑨ is a medicinal wine recipe,while the latter is a health food therapy recipe.Through detailed research on the drugs used in the health food therapy recipe,it was found that bitter apricot seed,Sichuan pepper,Ma Qinzi,fennel,Angelicae Dahuricae Radix,and Chuanxiong Rhizoma are all homologous products of medicine and food.These ingredients have the health effect of preventing external diseases and regulating the middle jiao.The production process involves immersing the ingredients in oil in a jar,and then sealing it for fermentation under the sun,which is very similar to the characteristics of making sauce or pickled seasoning in daily life.The finished products made by both parties are a type of liquor and a type of sauce,which not only have the effect of preventing disease and maintaining health,but can also be consumed on a daily basis.Both prescriptions are in the life cultivation and health preservation group of the TK187 document,reflecting the pursuit of health and longevity by the Xi Xia people.
