Chapter 287: Cheers

Speaking of which, Sun Hongbin has nothing to persuade. He just sighed, picked up the teacup in front of him and took a sip, "Since you're willing to do that, then your mother and I have nothing to say more." Anyway, you remember, there are still some abilities at home that can support you. I really feel like I can't hold on anymore, so come back. ”

Sun Hongbin's attitude will change so much, or because he saw his son injured with his own eyes. The wound that was inserted diagonally into the stomach with the shoulder. Even if Sun Lien repeatedly explained that the injury was not serious, being attacked and injured and accidentally injured by himself are completely two different concepts. No matter how much Sun Hongbin respects his son's "man's decision" at the beginning, it is impossible to continue to maintain the idea of raising a poor child now.

Of course, Wang Caifeng's fragmented thoughts and threats of violence also played an important role in this.

"Okay, now that we're back...... Sun Hongbin stood up from his seat, "I'll stop talking about the unhappy things for the time being, it's time to eat." ”

Pascal and the others also walked into the restaurant together at the invitation of Sun Lien. Then it was the scene where foreigners were conquered by Chinese food.

"Can the oysticks be cooked?" said Dr. Pascal, first of all, shocked by the steamed garlic and spicy milk oysters on the table. "What a big oyster!"

"Chinese don't seem to like raw food very much. Brune looked at the food on the table and nodded, "In this regard, they are not the same as Japan. ”

Sun Hongbin stood at the table, arranged for a few guests to be seated, and said with a smile, "Not necessarily. Since the Western Zhou Dynasty more than 800 BC, Chinese have recorded eating raw fish meat, and sashimi was still introduced to Japan from China in the Tang Dynasty - but at that time, the more common way to eat it was freshwater sashimi with dipping sauce. After all, sea fish are rare. ”

Brune frowned, "Eat raw freshwater fish? I don't have the guts. I dare to try saltwater fish, how can freshwater fish be eaten raw?"

"It's like some Japanese people risking their lives to eat fugu. For the sake of hurting his mouth, he did not hesitate to risk his life. Sun Hongbin explained with a smile, "China has a long history of eating sashimi and causing serious illness. The earliest can be traced back to the Eastern Han Dynasty, when Yamato was just born as a slave regime in the Japanese archipelago. At that time, the person who treated Guangling Taishou in the Eastern Han Dynasty was the legendary divine doctor Hua Tuo. ”

The name of Hua Tuo has almost been heard by Chinese. It's a pity that these American experts don't know who Hua Tuo is at all. But that doesn't stop them from being shocked – in the days before microscopes and sophisticated surgery, when Westerners didn't know about the anatomy of the human body, Chinese doctors already knew that eating sashimi could cause serious parasite problems?

"Actually, it's not that powerful. Sun Hongbin smiled and poured a glass of liquor for the three of them, "It's just that at that time, Chinese doctors had some simple and simple understanding of infectious diseases. For example, schistosomiasis is called 'water poisoning', malaria is 'miasma', and the more common roundworm is 'borer'. They can recognize that these diseases are caused by external factors, but other diseases other than the visible roundworms are more generally called exogenous evils. With the exception of a few prescriptions that occasionally work, no further research has been conducted on them. ”

Sun Lien helped pour the wine, but he didn't know much about medical history and the like, so he could only listen to his father's storytelling. Penny and Todd on the side could actually listen to it with relish, which made Sun Lien a little unexpected.

"The Chinese, at least historically, have shown some incomprehension. Sun Hongbin continued, "Due to the traditional Confucian concept, our society does not attach much importance to professional and technical talents, and even has a tendency to deliberately suppress them. For many discoveries in the natural sciences, there is also an attitude of contempt and contempt. But that's not the most terrifying, after all, Chinese medicine, as a medical technique with rich experience and historical heritage, did have great achievements. But then it was ruined by a group of enthusiastic readers. ”

"Ruined?" Sun Lien became interested, although he studied Western medicine and emergency medicine, he really didn't know much about Chinese medicine. Of course, it's not good to blindly deny it just by feeling, but if he wants to accept the non-standardized medication methods of modern Chinese medicine, he can't pass his own level.

"There is a sentence that you must have heard, 'If you are not a good look, you are a good doctor', Fan Zhongyan said. Sun Hongbin sighed, "Fan Zhongyan, although this ideal is very good, but he can't stand the mentally handicapped Confucian students who read the sages and sages later, and follow the thought-savvy Confucian students......"

The influence of Confucianism on Chinese medicine was so great that it almost reversed the development of Chinese medicine. Under Fan Zhongyan's "famous words", countless scholars who studied the books of sages and sages without success turned around to study various "ancient prescription" medical books that were circulated. Trying to become a doctor and fulfill his life dream. But in the middle of this, he was tortured by fellow believers.

Confucian scholars had a great hobby, and that was to forge ancient books.

The most famous pseudo-trust work is the classic of traditional Chinese medicine "The Yellow Emperor's Neijing". In addition, the "Difficult Scripture" pretends to be the name of Bian Que, the "Pulse Sutra" and the "Zhongzang Sutra" pretend to be the name of Hua Tuo, and the "Dongtian Mystery" is even more outrageous, directly pretending to be the name of the immortals. These pretended TCM classics have had a serious impact on traditional Chinese medicine, and the author's own limited level has led to a large number of speculations and superstitions in medical books. And these contents have been regarded as classics by other "Confucian doctors" and regarded as a guideline. Falsehoods and errors are rife and a complete departure from the foundation of traditional Chinese medicine based on "naΓ―ve materialist observation".

If Confucianism gave up his signature at the beginning so that philosophy and culture could be better passed on, then substituting this habit into Chinese medicine became the beginning of the decline of Chinese medicine. The "ancient prescriptions" and "test prescriptions" written by Confucian scholars did not know how many lives they had, and at the same time occupied the peak of propaganda, and began to attack treatment methods other than the decoction school - after all, massage and acupuncture, and even some surgical procedures in Chinese medicine, need to be studied over the years. The Confucian scholars who can't learn it if they only read books at home are not surprisingly dismissed as petty tricks.

There is no accumulation of foundations, no credible case reports and research comparisons, and even theories that have begun to be transformed by Confucianism are unrecognizable and contradictory. Traditional Chinese medicine began to fall into a state of confusion and hesitation. It is only in the last few hundred years that it has been surpassed by Western medicine, which used to be more nonsense and nonsense, but later had the observation and guidance of natural science.

From a certain point of view, Chinese medicine has not completely disappeared, which shows the accumulation and heritage before the disaster of Confucianism.

Every doctor who has received a complete bachelor's degree in Western medicine and above has a skeptical or even outright rejection attitude towards traditional medicine. But that doesn't stop Brune and Dr. Pascal from listening to the story with gusto. In the Western world, if you want to study more than 500 years of history, you have to study history in a university. You may also want to learn Old English, Old French, and Latin along the way. In the end, we had to add anthropology and archaeology to the study of this kind of language, which can be handed down from 5,000 years ago to the present day, and there are only Chinese characters.

I was able to learn from the experience of thousands of years ago in China, and it was something related to my profession. Coupled with the Western world's prevalent curiosity about the "mysterious" Oriental culture, Pascal and Brune almost forgot to eat. Brunn, in particular, had to rely on Pascal for translation occasionally due to his relatively poor Chinese skills.

Sun Hongbin was talking endlessly, and Wang Caifeng on the side suddenly stepped on his instep. Then he crushed it hard under the table, "Okay, let's talk about the rest of the conversation slowly after eating." She looked at Isabella and the two children who were trying to pick up the dishes with chopsticks and said, "Today's table is all my specialty dishes, how does it taste, can you get used to it?"

Isabella's chopsticks are poor, so she uses a knife and fork. And although most of Chinese food is not suitable for eating with knives and forks, she still eats with a light in her eyes. After hearing Wang Caifeng's question, Isabella praised in very non-standard Chinese, "It's so delicious!"

If you want to please a housewife, praise her cooking skills without reservation. If you want to conquer a housewife, treat her to the most delicious home-cooked dishes. The two housewives immediately found a common language, and the two began to exchange their cooking experience in Chinese and body language. And Sun Lien listened carefully to the content of the exchange between the two - what if he has the opportunity to do it at home in the future?

"Xiao Hu will come back next year, right?" Everyone here was chatting happily, but Sun Hongbin suddenly asked about Hu Jia's situation, "You two haven't called in the past few days?"

"For young couples who have just been together for a short time, they must not just make one call 'these days'. Dr. Pascal smiled and raised his glass to Sun Lien, originally planning to say something more and continue to tease his "boss", but he was choked by the white wine in his mouth, and suddenly coughed with a red face.

"Hahahahaha!" Brune laughed, "If you can't drink, drink less, you can't learn the Texan drinking style......" Laughing, Brune also raised the liquor glass in his hand, brought it to his mouth and tilted his neck, and the transparent liquor immediately fell into his throat.

His eyes widened, his face flushed for a long time, and then he screamed in a cowboyish style, put down the wine glass, looked at Sun Hongbin with an unbelievable look and said, "What a strong wine! You usually drink so strong?"

"We usually drink less of this. Sun Hongbin smiled and shook his head, "Lao Baigan's miscellaneous taste is a little less, and what we usually drink is mainly sauce-flavored." ”

"This is amazing. Brune quickly took two bites of the food, then filled himself with another glass, then raised his glass to Dr. Pascal and said, "Hey, Stephen,...... Cheers!"
