Volume 2 Chapter 292 Mr. Sai doesn't like Chinese medicine

"For example, there is such a recipe, the ingredients are written: 'a spoonful of soy sauce, a handful of shallots, a little salt', we Chinese people all know what it means, change to a foreigner will be confused, 'a spoonful' is how big a spoon is? 'A handful' is how big is a handful? The most annoying thing is this 'little', not to mention that foreigners don't understand it, even I still don't know what kind of dosage unit 'a little' is?"

The audience laughed, he was telling the truth, and this was also the confusion of most people.

"There is no way to popularize without standardization, it only takes half a day to train a temporary worker of KFC, and a week at most for long-term employees, and how long does it take to train a Chinese chef? I asked my father, he worked as a handyman in the back kitchen to peel onions and peel potatoes for more than half a year, and then cut piers and cut for two years.

So my dad said that Chinese food can only be opened in China, and it will never be to the point of KFC McDonald's. ”

"Very good, what this classmate said was basically what I wanted to say, and he said it more thoroughly than I did. Durin arched his hand to the audience, "Thank you." ”

"I believe that there are two reasons for the decline of traditional Chinese medicine, one is external and the other is internal. The external reason lies in the fact that Western medicine is encircling and intercepting Chinese medicine, just like two armies facing each other, although the Chinese medicine side is fighting on its own, its strength is weak, and it cannot stand the strength of Western medicine, so why are there many Western doctors? This is the problem that the classmate just said -- 'standardization'.

Why can Western medicine be standardized, because Western medicine is essentially a science, and the theories used by Western medicine to treat diseases are rarely founded by doctors, but by experts in basic disciplines such as anatomy, biology, physics, chemistry, and engineering.

Science itself is a kind of universal, the only truth, for example, science says that one plus one equals two, then it is equal to two, and it is impossible to draw other conclusions.

Most of you here are medical students, that is, future doctors, you received compulsory education in your adolescence, you learned these basic scientific knowledge, before you received professional medical education, you have already understood all the basic theories of Western medicine, so after entering the school, you have to go through the training of professional medical skills, you will become doctors. ”

"Dr. Du, what does this have to do with standardization?" shouted an audience member below.

"Yes, just imagine, if the teacher who teaches your anatomy is sick, and another teacher comes to teach you, do you think it will have a great impact on your learning? It is not big! Because no matter which teacher they teach, they all teach according to the same standard, and the students they teach may be of high or low level, but there can never be much difference.

Similarly, if you transfer to another medical university tomorrow and take the same anatomy class, you will find that the content of the teachers in this school is actually similar to that of our teachers at Zhonghu Medical University.

On the other hand, Chinese medicine, just like a Chinese chef, has a long training cycle, but also a chef divides into eight major cuisines, and different schools of Chinese medicine are much more complex than those of chefs.

For example, there are the 'Tu Tonifying School' that advocates warming and nourishing the spleen and stomach in treatment, the 'Yin Yang School' that mainly nourishes yin and reduces fire, the 'Han Liang School' that likes to use cold medicines, and the 'Huoshen School' that is good at using a large number of highly toxic Chinese medicine 'Aconite', and the rest of the 'Yi Shui School' derived from the Tu Replenishing School, the 'Jing Fang School' based on the "Treatise on Typhoid Fever and Miscellaneous Diseases", and the 'Conquering School' that advocates attacking first and then supplementing and conquering the main school.

Each of these schools has its own relatively complete theoretical system, and different schools have their own set of treatments for the same disease, and the most amazing thing is that they can also justify themselves and find a basis for their own treatment methods in their respective theoretical systems.

At the beginning of the 19th century, when Western medicine was integrating the strength of multiple disciplines to form a set of scientific, complete, rigorous, standardized, replicable, and easy-to-popularize theories and practice systems, Chinese medicine was busy intriguing and competing for fame and fortune.

Therefore, when the army of Western medicine rushed into China, Chinese medicine was not only weak, but also infighting, how could it not be defeated?"

In the School of Traditional Chinese Medicine, there are several lecturers who belong to different schools, sometimes they have just finished learning the typhoid theory taught by a lecturer of the Jingfang School in the last class, and the lecturer who teaches the prescription class in the next class is from the "Replenishing Earth School", saying that what you heard just now is all bullshit, you have to listen to me, and you should pay attention to "taking care of the Middle Earth" when sending prescription medicine......

"There is another point, that is, the internal cause, here I will quote to you the evaluation of Chinese medicine by several celebrities. First of all, the background of these words occurred at the beginning of the 20th century, that is, when China was fully exposed to Western culture, and Mr. Democracy and Mr. Sai (Science) were all popular in China, and this Mr. Sai did not like Chinese medicine very much.

The first sentence is, 'Chinese medicine is nothing but a liar, intentional or unintentional'. ”

"Hehe, that's like I said. Zhuang Poshi said with a smile.

"You must know the person who said this," Du Lin said to Zhuang Poshi and the audience, "We all know each other, great writer!

"Wow~" The audience was in an uproar, "Is it really fake? Lu Xun still said such extreme things?"

If you don't believe it, you can check it, and you can find it in the preface to the collection "The Scream".

Then came the second sentence 'I would rather die than consult Chinese medicine, because I felt sorry for my education if I didn't', the person who said this sentence was called Fu Sinian, a talented man of Peking University, who was the commander-in-chief of the student parade on May Fourth, and when he said this, he was already a famous historian and classical writer.

Isn't it strange that a scholar who studies history and traditional culture doesn't even believe in Chinese medicine? If you know this person's study experience, you will know that he studied physiology, mathematics, physics, Einstein's theory of relativity, and Bronck's quantum theory in Europe, so this is a scholar who studied both arts and sciences, and he was considered an elite class at that time, and he did not believe in Chinese medicine. ”

There was silence in the audience.
