Chapter 6 The Origin of Traditional Chinese Medicine

Wu Lang lit another cigarette, took a deep breath, slowly spit it out, and said: Everyone in the medical community recognizes that the history of Chinese medicine is 2000 years. But there are records of medical records in the oracle bone inscriptions, such as the treatment of breast cancer, if you count from that time, Chinese medicine has a history of at least 3,400 years, and if you count from the history of acupuncture, it has a history of at least tens of thousands of years, because the development process of Chinese medicine acupuncture and moxibustion "needle" is the development process of Chinese medicine.

As early as the Yin and Zhou dynasties, there was a disease name of "tumor" on the oracle bone inscription. The word "tumor" really appeared in the Han Dynasty. The outside of the "tumor" is from "boil", and the inside is "stay", which shows that there was an understanding of the disease at that time, indicating that the disease was formed by something gathering in one place.

There are some records of tumors in the classic "Yellow Emperor's Neijing" of our traditional Chinese medicine, which are extremely similar to the clinical manifestations of cancer now. In our clinical practice, the diagnosis of tumors is generally based on "accumulation" and "lung accumulation", and the diagnosis of "liver accumulation" in traditional Chinese medicine for liver cancer, which comes from another classical "Difficult Classic", which describes the different prognosis of the accumulation of various organs and intestines, indicating that each organ may suffer from tumors, and the evolution and prognosis of each tumor are different.

Now medicine has also proved that if people want to live a long life, diet accounts for 25%, others account for 25%, and psychological balance accounts for 50%.

This coincides with the saying in traditional Chinese medicine that "all diseases are born from qi". If there is a psychological problem, it will naturally be that the qi is not smooth, and there will be a cascading reaction, which will eventually lead to the formation of various diseases.

Wu Lang stopped talking, took another deep puff of cigarette, and looked at Yin Yuting.

"Wu Lang, I agree with what you said, you continue. Yin Yuting looked at Wu Lang and smiled slightly.

After pondering for a while, Wu Lang continued: More than 160,000 oracle bones have been found in Yinxu, and many of the words on these oracle bones are related to medicine, which to a certain extent reflects the Shang Dynasty's understanding of diseases and medicine. Of these oracle bones, 323 and 415 were disease-related.

First, there is a description of the body parts. In the oracle bone inscription, the head, ears, eyes, nose, mouth, teeth, neck, humerus, buttocks, toes, heart, etc., appear in the oracle bone inscription, among which the word heart is the only organ name seen in the oracle bone inscription.

Second, there are some disease names. Some are named after the parts of the human body, such as the head, ears, eyes, etc. Some are proper disease terms, such as malaria, scabies, Gu, caries, etc. Some are descriptions of the symptoms of the disease, such as tinnitus, insomnia, malaise, sickness (vertigo), etc.

Third, the oracle bone inscription also reflects that the Shang Dynasty people had some understanding of infectious diseases and epidemics. For example, in the oracle bone inscription, there are records such as "disease year", "disease reduction", "rain disease", "epidemic" and so on. "Year of disease" means the year in which there is an epidemic of disease;" "Sickness" means that the disease seems to have come down from heaven; "Rain sickness" means that there are many sick people, and the epidemic disease is like rain.

However, many historians have put forward different views: Why is there no record of medical books in the Book of Changes, which was preserved in Lantai during the Western Zhou Dynasty and has been intact? In the important documents such as the Book of Changes, the Book of Changes, the Three Rites, and the Zuo Chuan before the Spring and Autumn Period, there is no mention of any information about Chinese medicine at all, so it can be inferred: First, the original authors of these books did not see anything about Chinese medicine, so they did not reflect it in their books. The second is that these people have seen the relevant classics of Chinese medicine, but for some reason they have not reflected them in their writings.

Labor creates history, and human civilization is the accumulation of production experience over thousands of years; the minor premise is that with a history of 5,000 years of civilization, our nation has rich experience in production and life; the conclusion must be that Chinese medicine originates from the gradual accumulation of experience.

However, why is it that with so much experience, so many practitioners, so many research methods, and so many experimental methods, it is impossible to develop the theory of Chinese medicine? It stands to reason that the sum of these experiences is enough to create a "Yellow Emperor's Neijing", but why do we have experience but cannot read the theory of Chinese medicine? This ruthless fact in turn proves how absurd is the view that Chinese medicine is derived from experience.

"So now there are two opposing theories, one is that Chinese medicine is well-founded, and the other is that Chinese medicine is groundless, and both have factual theories, both of which can be justified. ”

Yin Yuting listened to Wu Lang's eloquent talk, and couldn't help but have little stars in her eyes, and she was intoxicated.

"Grass, I'm talking to you about serious things, talking about the quintessence of the country, you look like a with autumn water in your eyes, what do you mean?"

Wu Lang turned his head, looked at Yin Yuting's appearance, and yelled.

"Wu Lang, I was fascinated by what you said just now, I didn't expect you to have such a deep understanding of Chinese medicine, don't talk nonsense and wronged people!" Yin Yuting's cheeks were slightly red, her eyes flickered, and she said with a little weakness.

Ga...... Ga...... Ga......

Yin Fat Man was on the side, looking at Yin Yuting's embarrassment, patting his big belly and laughing weirdly.

"Dead fat man, what's so funny, what Wu Lang said, do you understand?" Yin Yuting yelled at Yin Fat.

I don't understand what Xiao Langlang said, but I think you looked funny just now, with a look of wanting to refuse and welcome, still holding the pipa and half-covering your face, just like the plot of the ancient ladies in film and television dramas......!

"Yin Delong, I see that your skin is tight, come, come, come! Let my sister loosen your skin for you and make you comfortable!"

After Yin Yuting finished speaking, she jumped up from the sofa and pounced on Yin Fat with her bare feet.

"Good sister, the fat brother is wrong, although we are five big and three thick, and our physique is strong, we can't bear your beating! Your father doesn't know what to think, please ask all kinds of martial arts masters to teach you a girl's family, fighting, sanda, jiu-jitsu or something. You used to be quite gentle and cute, but since you learned these things, your temperament has become very irritable, who will dare to marry you in the future!"

Yin Yuting jumped onto the table suddenly, rode on Yin Fat's back, twisted his ears with both hands, and spun in circles.

"Hey, good sister, fat brother won't talk nonsense in the future, let go, your ears will be twisted into twists by you!"

Yin Fat Man knelt on the floor in pain, grabbed Yin Yuting's hand tightly with both hands, and begged for mercy again and again.

"If you don't think about it in the future, I'll pinch your ears into Bajie ears!" Yin Yuting finished speaking, got up from Yin Fat, turned around and sat on the sofa.

Yin Fat Man turned over and sat on the floor, humming and chirping in his mouth, his hands kept rubbing his reddened ears.

"Can you teach me Chinese medicine, I'm very interested in this!" Yin Yuting looked at Wu Lang with a smile.

"I'm still a student myself, I haven't graduated from college, and I can't teach you half-heartedly!" Wu Lang glanced at her and shook his head.

"It's okay, just take the time to tell me what you know!" Yin Yuting said with a smile.

"I said, you have a solid family, a dignified top rich second-generation eldest lady, what famous teacher and professor can't be invited to teach you, why do you have to let me teach you?

"Don't talk nonsense! Just because you have a big bald head, you are not a good person at first glance, I just like a dog, and I will not take a fancy to you!" Yin Yuting hurriedly said.

"I'll go, you! I don't look for the same kind, I actually fall in love with the dog, you are going to create a rhythm that sets a precedent for a new species of human beings! The spirit is commendable, the courage is rare, and you are willing to be defeated when you admire it!" Wu Lang sat up straight on the sofa suddenly, his eyes widened, and he looked Yin Yuting up and down exaggeratedly, and arched his hand again and again.

"You...... You...... You big bald, filthy scumbag!" Yin Yuting was so angry that her face was flushed, she stammered, slammed the pillow on the sofa at Wu Lang, got up and went upstairs.

Ga...... Ga...... Ga......

...... ...... ......

Wu Lang and Yin Fatzi tilted their heads to look at Yin Yuting's distant back, and then sat down on the sofa together, looking up and laughing strangely, and the sound instantly resounded throughout the entire three-story villa.

"Di" ...... "Di" ...... "Di"......

Wu Lang's mobile phone came with the sound of receiving a short message, but the other party's mobile phone number was not displayed.

"Lang'er, it will take a while for Dad to come back, you have to take care of yourself!"

After Wu Lang finished reading it, his brows furrowed slightly and he was silent.

"Xiao Langlang, what's wrong?" asked Fat Yin looking at Wu Lang's frowning.

Wu Lang handed the phone to Yin Fatzi, lit a cigarette himself, and took a deep breath.

"Lang Lang, since your father left suddenly, I have looked for a relationship with the sea, land and air to inquire in all directions, but I didn't find anything at all, I said something that shouldn't be said, your father is definitely not an ordinary person. Yin Fatzi put Wu Lang's mobile phone on the coffee table, lit a cigarette, and inhaled deeply.

"Dad must have something important to deal with, so if he leaves suddenly, he will come back. ”

After Wu Lang finished speaking, he spit out the smoke from his mouth vigorously, leaned his head on the sofa, closed his eyes and pondered.

"Lang Lang, you will rest, I will go out, remember to wipe the trauma medicine. After Yin Fatzi finished speaking, he got up and walked outside the house, and then the roar of a car engine sounded outside the door......

In the past few days, I have reviewed all the TCM books, and then I went to school to continue to complete the rest of my studies, and besides, the money in the card is enough for me to go to school, and it is also very convenient to check the information about TCM in the school.

After Wu Lang finished thinking about it, he immediately got up and came to the door of the first bedroom on the second floor, saw that the door was wide open, and immediately walked in.

"Tingting, if you live in this bedroom, I'll move my luggage to another room. Wu Lang looked at Yin Yuting, who was standing on the balcony stunned, and said.

"You live in this room first, or I'll go, I'll live next door to you, and I've already put my things away." Yin Yuting still stared at the endless blue sea.

Wu Lang walked to the balcony and looked out at the sea: the high-rise buildings standing in the distance were like toothpicks, several fishing boats on the sea were like matchboxes, and from time to time there were white seagulls flying by, accompanied by the high-pitched and loud birdsong of "Ou", "Ou", "Ou".

"How small and ridiculous man is in front of the sea! Although human beings now have countless high technologies, the planet we live on is just a speck of dust in the vast universe. We don't even fully understand our own bodies, so why do we want to explore the vastness of the universe?" Wu Lang muttered as he looked at the sea stupidly.

"Everyone has a different division of labor, and someone from all walks of life has to do it, why do you think so?" Yin Yuting looked at Wu Lang curiously.

"I just felt it for a while, why are you so serious?" Wu Lang then turned his head and looked at Yin Yuting with a smile.

"Your head, your face, I'm dripping my God!" Yin Yuting's eyes widened suddenly, looking at Wu Lang in surprise.

Wu Lang looked at Yin Yuting with a ghostly look, and then walked quickly into the bathroom and looked at himself in the mirror.

Due to the wind and sun, the face looks slightly darkened, showing a healthy bronz, and the beard has not been shaved for two days, and there is already some green stubble. However, on the bald head, the redness and swelling on the face, and the bruises and bruises have completely disappeared.

Wu Lang looked at himself in the mirror, and was also taken aback, with his mouth open, standing on the spot......
