In order to increase the image and interest of the exhibition, the exhibition line also specially set up a museum in the museum, the "Zhao Taicheng's family" medical shop in the clinic of the Northern Song Dynasty restored according to the picture of Qingming River, which specifically reflects the basic situation of medical work in ancient times.

The national second-class cultural relics (identified by Shaanxi Provincial Cultural Relics Appraisal Committee in 1998) were unearthed in Shulinzhao, yimengdalate banner, Inner Mongolia in 1978 and collected in Shaanxi medical history museum of our university.

The length of the needle is 4.6cm and the total weight is 1.7g. One end is a cone-shaped needle tip, one end is a semicircular sharp blade, and the waist is triangular. The end of the needle is like an acupuncture needle, which is used to prick points to treat diseases; the edge is like a surgical knife, which is used to bleed and discharge pus. The ingenious combination of needle and knife by the ancients not only shows the coexistence and development of acupuncture and surgical therapy in the Warring States period, but also shows the progress and subtlety of bronze making at that time. This cultural relic research achievement (the second natural paragraph on page 9 of the main body) was employed in the planning textbook "history of Chinese medicine" (Sixth Edition).

Leiyunshang drugstore in Suzhou was a "reciting the fragrance hall" drugstore opened by leiyunshang in the 12th year of Yongzheng reign of the Qing Dynasty (1734). The drugstore sells self-made patent medicine, which integrates medicine in one place. Because of his noble medical ethics and superb medical skills, Lei yunshang's patients connected the names of doctors and stores together, and called them "Lei yunshang chant Fen Tang", "chant Fen Tang Lei" or "Lei yunshang" directly. Liushen Pill produced by "leiyunshang" keeps its traditional characteristics, enjoys a good reputation at home and abroad, and has made outstanding contributions to epidemic prevention and treatment.

Blue and white porcelain originated in the Tang and Song Dynasties and matured in the Yuan Dynasty, while the blue and white porcelain of Yongxuan (Yongle and Xuande periods) in the Ming Dynasty reached its peak. This product is a precious work of this period. The pigment used is "Su Ma Li Qing" from the western regions. Because of its high iron content and low manganese content, it has a bright color like sapphire when fired under the appropriate temperature. There are also Silver Black Crystal spots and halos. It is thick, beautiful and natural, which is a major feature of blue and white porcelain in this period.

Jingyang Wanling hall was founded in 1624 by Huang Wanling. There is a popular saying in the society that "first there is Wanling hall, then there is Jingyang city", which shows that it has a long history. At that time, because of the strong wind in the northwest, dust and sand, drought and water shortage, many people suffered from eye diseases. Huang Wanling meticulously developed "Babao tuiyunsan", "brown leaf skin cooling eye medicine" and other eye medicines with quick effect and remarkable effect, which were popular among merchants and sold well in Gansu, Qinghai, Lintao and other places. After that, they have been prosperous until the liberation of the people's Republic of China. This jar is an important utensil for storing eye cooling medicine in Wanling hall.

Copper mortar

Pestle and mortar is one of the traditional Chinese medicine processing tools, which has a long history and is still used in Chinese pharmacy. There is no way to know when it originated. The traditional Chinese medicine mortar appeared frequently in Han Dynasty, and it can be seen that it had been widely used in Han Dynasty at the latest. This pestle and mortar in our museum is made of bronze from the Han Dynasty. The diameter is 11 cm, the abdominal circumference is 43 cm, and the base diameter is 11 cm. Pestle length 30.5 cm, diameter 1-3.2 cm, height 14.5 cm. It is a precious medical cultural relic with three convex lines in the abdomen and three convex lines in the middle of the pestle.

The sound of the bronze mortar is clear, transparent, thick and simple. It can spread far away, and it seems to come back from far away. The patient's heart will become clear after hearing it, and he will feel half cured.
