Speaking of the existence of name only, and the westward expansion of traditional Chinese medicine, Zhang Lao's expression was calm and natural, just like talking about a very ordinary after-dinner event. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

So much so that Xu Guangling forgot about the vermicelli for a while, or put it behind for the time being, but couldn't help asking: "Teacher, you don't seem to have ...... when you talk about this."

And nothing?

Emotions such as depression, anger, sadness, etc.

Zhang Lao smiled, and then said quite meaningfully: "Humble words, if you know Chinese history, you only need to know a little bit, you will know that for too many things, the rise and fall is really a normal thing, 'Wu Palace flowers and plants buried in the path, the Jin Dynasty dressed into ancient mounds', it is not just about architecture." ”

"The westward movement of Chinese medicine, in any case, is a good thing for Chinese medicine itself. Although in the future, after its great prosperity, it may not be called 'Chinese medicine'. In the future, whether it obtains its own independent status or is incorporated into the modern Western medical system, there will be only benefits and no disadvantages for Chinese medicine itself, and for the people, there will be only benefits and no harms. ”

"As for the situation of traditional Chinese medicine in China," Speaking of this, Zhang Lao paused slightly, and then asked Xu Guangling: "Humble words, there was a person named Weng Ge in the Qing Dynasty who wrote a poem called "Twilight Spring", have you read it?"

"Don't complain that spring returns early, and the flowers are a little red. Stay in the roots, and there is an east wind in the years. Xu Guangling read slowly, and then said, "Teacher, are you talking about this one?"

Zhang Lao nodded, and then said: "The roots of the stay will be here, and there will be an east wind every year." This is my attitude towards TCM. “

"Back then, when the country vigorously promoted traditional Chinese medicine, from an emotional point of view, I was happy to see it, but from an intellectual point of view, I was not optimistic about my understanding of Chinese medicine. Nowadays, the state is actually a sideline stance towards Chinese medicine, and the public's recognition of Chinese medicine is declining year by year, but my attitude is not pessimistic. ”

"Traditional Chinese medicine is actually a very special thing. When Zhang Lao said this, his expression was very strange, which contained some emotions that Xu Guangling couldn't understand, "Where is it particular, that is, Chinese medicine is the most experienced, and the least experienced." ”

"Let's take high blood pressure as an example. For example, in the study of high blood pressure drugs, under the modern medical system in the West, how do we know which drugs are effective and which are not effective for high blood pressure? The answer is, I don't know, the only way is to try, try this one, oh, it doesn't work, change to another, just like Edison tested the filament of an incandescent lamp, one material at a time. ”

Therefore, the research situation and progress of the research in this area of the Americans are not much better than looking for a needle in a haystack. ”

"But the Japanese study is different, for the relevant researchers in Japan, which drug may be effective for high blood pressure and which drug may not be effective, they have a basic number before the trial, and there will not be much difference. In other words, they can preliminarily screen out the medicinal materials that may be effective for high blood pressure from the vast sea of medicinal materials in a very targeted manner, and then conduct experiments and research on the selected medicinal materials. ”

As a result, the progress of its research is more than ten times faster than that of the West. ”

"Of course, under global integration, no country can really study more than 10 times faster than other countries. Zhang Lao said this sentence again, and his expression and tone when he mentioned the words "global integration" were quite intriguing.

After a pause, the old man said: "Why can Japan do this but the United States cannot? It is because Japan can use traditional Chinese medicine for the body and Western medicine for use, but the United States cannot." Although the United States has been studying traditional Chinese medicine in recent years, their research results are extremely limited due to the difference in cultural core and way of thinking, or great differences. At this point, the future will still depend on Chinese-Americans, and in general, this will not happen overnight. ”

"At present, in China, there is mainly progress in the research of traditional Chinese medicine or Chinese patent medicine, and for the theory of traditional Chinese medicine itself, let alone research, let alone progress, it will not even be inherited. ”

"The fact is that the theory of Chinese medicine is the root of Chinese medicine. ”

"But!"

Speaking of this, Zhang Lao's expression was so solemn that it was almost solemn, "The theory of traditional Chinese medicine is a castle in the air, and for the vast majority of people, it is also a mirage. ”

Xu Guangling was puzzled.

"Teacher, what do you mean?" Xu Guangling would not think that the pavilion in the air was fake or something, not to mention that his teacher himself was the "first miracle doctor of the millennium", although this was only said by Zhang Lao himself, and he was not very serious when he said it, but Xu Guangling did not doubt it in his heart.

These days, the lessons that Zhang Lao taught him every night have made him admire his teacher so much that he can't admire it anymore, it really is, every day passes, the admiration increases by a few points, and now it is simply no longer possible.

Based on the lecture records of these days, Xu Guangling felt that he could write a book of "Treatise on the Origin and Syndrome of Diseases", and it was by no means a superficial generalization, but Zhang Lao told him the day before yesterday that these were just "common sense".

In other words, for his teacher, what is currently being taught to him is the equivalent of "preschool" in the national education system.

What is after preschool? Elementary school, junior high school, high school, college, and then graduate school, and graduate school is also divided into several levels. And then, is it the end of graduate school? -- No.

When graduate school reaches the top, that's the beginning of real research.

Therefore, when Xu Guangling knew that what he had listened to these days was just "common sense", the shock in his heart was really difficult to describe in any words.

The only thing that can be said is that this teacher of his is a bit inhuman.

A mirage also has a physical existence.

The pavilion in the air, if it is not false, then it is most likely to jump into the air to touch this pavilion?

Xu Guangling thought like this.

And the next moment, what Zhang Lao said confirmed his cranky thoughts, "Humble words, if I told you a few days ago that your palms can breathe, what is your attitude?"

The disciple did not dare to deny it, but he could not be sure either. After thinking about it, Xu Guangling said.

I dare not deny that in view of the teacher's profound knowledge and depth and breadth as the sea, even if what he said is incredible, there must be a reason. I can't be sure, just because it's so bizarre, and the facts obviously don't match it. Therefore, on the whole, Xu Guangling will have a skeptical attitude.

"And now?" said Elder Zhang.

Xu Guangling was thoughtful.

"In a humble way, you are now walking up the stairs step by step, on the road to that 'castle in the sky'. Zhang Lao looked at Xu Guangling and said like this.

And hearing this, Mr. Chen, who had been watching from the wall all this time, couldn't help it: "Where is he going up step by step, he is simply flying there with wings!"
