Volume II, Chapter 281: Existence is Reasonable
Zhuang Poshi smiled proudly, and said that he had won the first game, so he confidently introduced the theoretical system of Western medicine to 40 foreigners in standard English, and from time to time there were a few medical terms that even the on-site interpreter did not understand.
Zhuang Poshi's explanation made several experts from our school who are engaged in Western medicine nod again and again, and the experts of their level are very good in English.
In their opinion, I have to say that the level of this second devil is still very high, the theoretical foundation is very solid, if his mouth is not so stinky and he is not so arrogant, the school will spend some money for him It is worth the ticket price.
Zhuang Poshi talked freely for a long time, and he felt that he hadn't finished talking about it, and he was overtime in the end.
In the audience, except for the Internet celebrities who engage in self-media, most of the rest are students of our school, and they whisper offstage.
"Hey, third child, you have passed the sixth level of English, do you understand what this second devil says? I see that the on-site interpreter seems to be a little unable to keep up with his speed, and the translation is messy. β
"I'm sorry, boss, I didn't understand it, I can almost understand the general meaning, but many of the key words are professional terms, you can wait until I pass the eighth level of the major. β
The Internet celebrities were not idle, and used the gap to interact with the veterans in the live broadcast room.
"Do you have any medical students? What does this Dr. Zhuang say, can you translate it? β
As a result, a bunch of 1 was posted in the broadcast room, and what I knew was that netizens were making trouble, and those who didn't know thought that my country's national English had been fully popularized.
A netizen said: "I'm from the United States, I don't believe in certification, I can't even understand what he said, it's too profound, I haven't heard a lot of words." β
Next up was Durin, who first asked the 40 judges present,
"Have you eaten?"
The 40 people below all laughed, because as a "foreigner" who came to China, in addition to giving himself a Chinese name, the first thing he learned was probably to say hello, and the most Chinese way to greet was to ask "Have you eaten?"
"Why do Chinese people always like to ask, 'Have you eaten?'" Du Lin asked all the foreigners, don't say that the foreigners don't know, many Chinese viewers are shaking their heads, "In the past, we Chinese people were poor, many people, many places couldn't even eat enough, at that time, the most important thing for people every day was to eat, so people always asked 'Have you eaten'? is a meaning. β
The foreigners nodded one after another, they have all lived in Huaxia for a while, although Du Lin said it in Huaxia, but the words are very simple and simple, so that these foreigners can understand.
"Chinese people attach great importance to eating, so we Chinese people not only study the practice of food, but also study what different effects eating different foods will have on the body, such as curing diseases.
If you have a cold, the Chinese people will suggest that you drink ginger boiled water, yes, it is ginger for cooking, there is no scientific reason, but for thousands of years, countless people have experienced countless colds, and found that drinking ginger water has the best effect on treating colds, and such a successful experience has been formed, which has been passed on by word of mouth until today.
This is just an example, in fact, every Chinese medicine, every Chinese medicine diagnosis method, embodies two words - 'experience', why do you Westerners not like to accept Chinese medicine?
DΓΌhrin randomly interviewed a younger foreigner: "Sir, may I ask you a question, if you are mowing the lawn with a weeder in your yard, and your father comes and tells you that the lawn should be mowed from the middle of the yard, round by round, will you listen to him?"
The young man thought for a moment and said in Huaxia that he was not very fluent: "No, I will cut it [according to] my own method, or ask a gardener." β
"You see, you Westerners don't like to listen to other people's experience, they like to try everything yourself, or listen to the opinions of professionals, while the Chinese are just the opposite, we attach importance to the various experiences summarized by our predecessors, and we will record these experiences, which are the origin of the theory of Chinese medicine.
Students who have listened to my last class know that I have said that Western medicine is an experimental science, which is based on scientific experimental methods and experimental results, and Chinese medicine is an empirical science, which is based on the experience accumulated over thousands of years, combined with traditional Chinese cultural thoughts, to form a unique theoretical system, which may not be universally understood in the world, but in Hegel's words, 'Existence is rationality',' To exist is to be reasonable', this theory has been around for thousands of years, older than the vast majority of countries in the world, and what reason should we have to doubt it?
Besides, isn't the purpose of your visit to China precisely to be attracted by the rich and long-standing culture of this country? Chinese medicine is an important part of this Chinese culture, so what is unacceptable?"
After hearing this, 40 foreigners nodded one after another, and Du Lin's last sentence was said to their hearts, they came to China thousands of miles away, even if the original purpose was not to understand the long history and culture of China, but after living in China for a period of time, they were all impressed by the traditional civilization of China, so they all felt deeply agreed with Du Lin's words.
Seeing the attitude of the judges, Zhuang Poshi was a little panicked, and hurriedly said:
"You don't want to pick on the good things and say, as far as I know, you Chinese medicine doctors will talk about the five elements of yin and yang at every turn, you explain to me, what is yin? What is yang? It's not that you liar doctors say that yin is yin, and yang is yang.
As we all know, everything in the world is composed of microscopic molecular atoms, and the human body is composed of various organ systems.
There is also the so-called 'qi', what is qi, air, oxygen, carbon dioxide, even if these gases cannot be seen or touched, but at least we have a way to detect them in a scientific way, how do you detect the qi of traditional Chinese medicine?
To put it bluntly, the root of Chinese medicine is not a science, but a metaphysics, and to say that metaphysics is to exalt you is simply a deception and witchcraft! To try to rely on these things to cure diseases? This is really ridiculous! This is extremely irresponsible to the patient's body!"
