Chapter 493: Challenges Everywhere
In the afternoon, the International Exchange Conference of Traditional Chinese Medicine was held on time, and in the auditorium of the School of Traditional Chinese Medicine, some key teachers and leaders of the university were gathered, as well as representatives of some scientific research institutes related to Chinese medicine research from the world.
The main topic of this exchange conference is the current achievements in the international promotion of Chinese medicine and the current difficulties.
In response to this topic, representatives of several scientific research institutes made statements, which were accompanied by written translations in Chinese of all their speeches.
Qin Yu took a look at it, and he found that the so-called achievements of these international traditional Chinese medicine research are just empty talk, even if there are some experiences that seem to be barely smooth, there is a lack of certain clinical case evidence. There are also some papers that regard Chinese medicine as very mysterious, similar to witchcraft, which is actually a misunderstanding of Chinese medicine, and it will undoubtedly bring the promotion of Chinese medicine internationally into a misunderstanding, so that the people of the world have a misunderstanding of Chinese medicine, and there is no future.
So many speeches, in general, sound like admiration and praise for Chinese medicine, but such praise is actually close to killing. In any case, since Chinese medicine is a kind of medicine, it is a scientific thing, and it is a magic weapon that the Chinese people relied on to save their lives and maintain their health before the introduction of Western medicine, and naturally has its scientific nature. It is only because after the introduction of Western medicine, in view of the speed and simplicity of Western medicine, and the complexity and profundity of Chinese medicine theory, people gradually alienated from Chinese medicine, but when with the development of society, it was found that Western medicine is also powerless in some diseases, and even after endless troubles, they turned back to Chinese medicine for help, and found a solution and saw the value of what their ancestors left behind.
After the reform and opening up of the Chinese country, some good things in China, the ancestral culture is also being promoted to the outside world, and traditional Chinese medicine is one of the essences of the Chinese culture, which should also contribute to the health care of the people of the world, which is also a symbol of the strength of the soft culture of the Chinese country.
But if this is the case with the current promotion, it proves that there may be some misunderstandings in this promotion, or in other words, there is a problem, and it has reached a life-and-death crossroads, a very historic turning point.
Qin Yu was very worried when he heard this, but he looked at the so-called experts and authorities in Chinese medicine who were here, and they were all happy, with a happy face, a sense of happiness permeating their faces, and a look of great enjoyment, as if some emperors who were almost dull heard the words of "Long live" from their subjects.
No, this is not good, no matter what, in the face of traditional Chinese medicine, whether you look down on traditional Chinese medicine, or blindly praise traditional Chinese medicine, it is not conducive to the development of traditional Chinese medicine, and as a practitioner of traditional Chinese medicine, if you don't say your true opinion, you will feel ashamed.
Thinking of this, Qin Yu walked straight to the podium and talked to the audience in English before the other speakers' speeches were over.
Those international friends who came to participate in the promotion of international Chinese medicine suddenly saw a Chinese speaking on stage, which seems to be not on the agenda?
When the principal of the College of Traditional Chinese Medicine saw it, he knew Qin Yu, and hurriedly walked up and said, "Teacher Qin, let's talk about what you want to do, it's not good for you to do this, at least we have to respect the guests." ”
"I didn't disrespect the guests, but I had read all the speeches and didn't think they made much sense. If you don't listen, this is a misunderstanding of our Chinese medicine, and it will not work like this. ”
As soon as I saw the principal arguing with a young Chinese man, an old man from the United States who had made some achievements in the study of Chinese medicine and had certain attainments came over and said, "What is the matter?"
The principal said embarrassedly, "I'm sorry, Mr. Brian, but this is a teacher hired by our college, and he thinks that there are some points of discussion in many of the statements just now. "The headmaster said it very tactfully.
Qin Yu listened to it, and he didn't shy away from saying it, he knew English, and he could understand what the principal said to Mr. Brian in English, so he said directly in English: "It's not that there are some discussions, but there are some major mistakes and misunderstandings." ”
"Oh. Listening to Qin Yu's words, Brian became interested, because he is a senior person in Chinese medicine research, because his grandfather is Chinese, he has been deeply immersed in Chinese culture since he was a child, he originally studied Western medicine, but when he found the shortcomings of Western medicine in the clinic, he turned to Chinese medicine to seek treatment for some difficult and complicated diseases, but received some unexpected results. Since then, he has almost abandoned Western medicine and embarked on the research of traditional Chinese medicine, hoping to introduce this seemingly profound and mysterious medicine to the United States and contribute to the health of the people of the United States.
Of course, because of his different backgrounds, Brian also encountered many bottlenecks in the process of learning and researching Chinese medicine, that is, the combination of Chinese medicine theory and practice, this process is very long, especially the Chinese medicine looks, hears, inquires, syndrome differentiation and treatment, it seems very simple, but in practice, it feels difficult. He also heard it just now, objectively speaking, it goes without saying that those so-called relevant research results are really reluctant to him, and what is even worse is the lack of strong clinical support.
The principal wanted to say something, but Brian stopped the principal and said, "Since Mr. Qin has a different point of view, then you might as well let us hear it." Since it is an exchange conference, we should exchange different views on the same issue with each other, otherwise the exchange conference will lose its meaning. ”
The principal was a little hesitant, because he thought that as the organizer, he could not get all the speakers to finish what he said, so he intercepted it, and besides, in his own country, that is to say, in his own home, he directly stated the mistakes of the guests in person, and there were some of them, giving people a feeling of lack of self-cultivation and disrespect for the guests.
But it was about academics, so the principal was very hesitant.
"Okay, President, Mr. Brian has said, besides, this is an academic exchange conference, your worries are unnecessary, it is precisely because of the responsibility for the guests, the responsibility for Chinese medicine, I will be like this, otherwise, what is the point of the so-called Chinese medicine exchange conference." ”
The principal nodded, things have come to this point, he really can't hold it anymore, it is already impossible to openly stop Qin Yu from speaking, everything is left to fate, because Brian is also supporting Qin Yu and wants to hear what he has to say.
The principal turned around and left, he was worried in his heart, he didn't know what kind of grand argument this Qin Yu would release, whether it was a blessing or a curse, he could only resign himself to fate.
