Section 46 Principles of Traditional Chinese Medicine
Qin Huai thought about it seriously.
To explain the essence of Chinese medicine, it is not possible to do it in a few words, so start from the origin and tell it eloquently.
"Actually, medicine is divided into traditional medicine and modern medicine, not Chinese medicine and Western medicine.
To speak directly of Western medicine is to invisibly push Chinese medicine to the opposite of Western medicine, and to bury the status of Chinese medicine. β
Shang Ya bowed his head, listened carefully, and was ready to occasionally cooperate and say a few words of six-six-six.
"The so-called Chinese medicine is a kind of traditional medicine.
In ancient times, science and technology were not developed, so they only used to taste herbs, constantly recuperate, and summarize experience to obtain medical knowledge and fight diseases.
This process lasted for thousands of years, and I don't know how many powerful Chinese medicine practitioners died, but it was precisely because of their sacrifices that the medicinal properties and medicinal powers of various herbs were recorded, and Chinese medicine also covered all aspects of daily injuries and diseases. The culmination is the "Treatise on Typhoid Fever and Miscellaneous Diseases" and other medical works. β
"Speaking of modern medicine, modern medicine has developed rapidly since the emergence of the microscope and the discovery of cells by Leeuwenhoek, establishing a series of modern medical theories based on microscopic cells, which are undoubtedly more accurate and scientific than traditional Chinese medicine. β
Qin Huai changed the topic and put modern medicine and Chinese medicine together to compare and narrate.
"Isn't it about the essence of Chinese medicine? Why did you start blowing about modern medicine?"
Shang Yaliu raised her eyebrows slightly, slightly surprised, and poked Qin Huai's waist.
She thought that Qin Huai was going to start preaching how powerful Chinese medicine was.
For example, it can cure incurable diseases, bring the dead back to life, and there are old prescriptions that have been passed down for thousands of years and have miraculous effects.
But he didn't expect Qin Huai to backhand a wave of commotion.
Qin Huai moved out of the sofa so that Shang Ya couldn't reach him, and continued to explain:
"The reason why I don't mythologize Chinese medicine is that I want Chinese medicine to be truly understood, it is not immortal, it is not an urban ability. β
Nowadays, Chinese people have too deep misunderstanding of traditional Chinese medicine, and they usually do not follow the theory of traditional Chinese medicine, and when they get sick, they will eat capsules, antibiotics, injections, hanging water, and surgery......
Is it okay for Chinese medicine to be very wronged?
All the time back to the pot.
"Traditional Chinese medicine is just traditional medicine, not immortal medicine. Bian Que once said: 'The disease is in the bone marrow, where the order belongs, there is no choice, now it is in the bone marrow, and the minister is uninvited'.
The translation is: You are terminally ill, you can't even be saved by God, I can't help it, I'll fight steadily this wave, run ...... first"
Shang Ya sneered, Qin Huai's translations were always weird, but they also added to the fun.
"However, there are many things that cannot be cured by traditional Chinese medicine, but modern medicine can cure them, so why do we need traditional Chinese medicine? Chinese medicine is slow to produce results, and it is still so bitter. β
Shang Ya glanced at the rice cooker with trepidation, and the smell of medicine wafting out of it was getting stronger and stronger. I feel bitter on the tip of my tongue......
was dismantled by Shang Ya, Qin Huai was not interrupted by his train of thought, but followed Shang Ya's question and continued to say:
"Yes, you know the divine doctor Hua Tuo, right?
He was the first to invent anesthetics, which later spread to Arabia and then to Europe.
Hua Tuo's medical skills were so clever that he knew how to use anesthetics to anesthetize patients' wounds for surgery as early as the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty.
He is so powerful, just cut and cut directly, why do you still try to promote the five poultry opera and the way of health preservation?"
Qin Huai asked rhetorically, and Shang Ya couldn't answer.
Hua Tuo's medical skills are so skillful, and he can also cut ulcers under general anesthesia, why not promote this simple and crude way, but choose five poultry plays?
"Because this is the essence of Chinese medicine. In daily life, we should pay attention to the harmony of yin and yang, the five elements of life and nourishment, do not do things that harm qi and blood, and use the five birds to let you exercise and strengthen your body. In this way, you can go to the hospital less often, or even stay away from the hospital. β
Qin Huai sighed a pity, some Chinese people's thinking is simply outrageous, and they would rather believe in the sentence 'an apple a day, the doctor stays away from me', rather than believe in traditional Chinese medicine with complete theories.
In fact, the theory of traditional Chinese medicine is that retreat can nourish the body, and advance can cure large and small diseases, which is by no means psychological medicine.
Qianjin prescription, typhoid fever and miscellaneous diseases, the Yellow Emperor's internal scriptures, but there are real written records.
Moreover, can Chinese medicine be the first in the world to use penicillin and the earliest to solve smallpox infectious diseases, is it still necessary to question it?
Today's people are too eager for quick success.
Recuperation? non-existent.
Exercise? non-existent. Staying up late is the norm.
Sick?
Take medicine, injections, and hang water, and then do not do surgery, cut off the lesion.
With this way of life, one day the body will be so corrupted that even modern medicine can't save it!
"The real Chinese medicine is never about treating the disease when it comes.
The medical skills are as exquisite as the divine doctor Hua Tuo, and they are all telling us with their actions that slowly nourishing the body is the golden formula.
Wouldn't it be better to cut the ulcer but prevent it from appearing?"
Qin Huai was also speechless, the ancestor tried his best to create even the five poultry plays, that is, he tried not to make us sick, and tried not to let us spend money and break the bank, although the process was a little longer, but if you pay attention to these from a young age, how much trouble can you save?
But the current Chinese people don't believe it, but are willing to spend thousands or tens of thousands of dollars in the hospital.
"I seem to understand why the doctor-patient relationship is so tense right now. β
Shang Ya suddenly turned red with excitement, as if she was about to become Qin Huai's proud protΓ©gΓ©.
"Part of the reason why the doctor-patient relationship is so tense is that the concept of Chinese medicine stays, but the behavior doesn't.
In the concept of Chinese patients, seeing a doctor will definitely cure them and cost less money.
But in fact, this effect can be achieved because patients began to cooperate with doctors for a long time, even more than ten years ago, to regulate their bodies and exercise their bodies in accordance with the concept of traditional Chinese medicine...... Something like that. At that time, the doctor could understand the doctor's words, and the patient would do it, and the body would naturally be strong. β
"If the disease is recurred, the Chinese medicine practitioners will prescribe acupuncture and moxibustion...... In this way, the practice of medicine with cooperation is often cured. β
Qin Huai was shocked.
Makes sense.
In fact, Chinese medicine is such a thing, almost all the ancient literati understood the theory of Chinese medicine, not only familiar with the medicinal properties of Chinese herbal medicines, but also able to use the name of Chinese medicine into words to write poems.
For example, Su Dongpo and Xin Qiji have written similar poems.
It can be seen from this that the concept of Chinese medicine is that the treatment of the disease is not the doctor's business alone, nor is it the cure of the present, you can sit back and relax, it requires the persistent cooperation of the patient and the doctor to fight the disease together.
In this way, the ancient doctor-patient relationship model is really enviable. β
Qin Huai nodded with satisfaction, this apprentice has Huigen, and his talent is very good.
Now that there are people on the Internet who hack Chinese medicine, I evaluate the garbage of Chinese medicine, do I have to understand Chinese medicine?
Sorry, you really need to know a little!
You don't need to be proficient, but you need to understand what TCM has to tell you and how to cooperate with the doctor.
Just like when you play chicken, you can only experience the fun of the game slowly if you understand the basic operation first, otherwise, it is just a skydiving game.
"I should have understood, it turns out that this is the case, Chinese medicine is not an immortal art, but it is a complete medical practice system developed by the ancients with the cooperation of doctors and patients, which is worthy of reference by modern medicine......
Shang Ya finally concluded.
thought that he would be praised by Qin Huai.
However, Qin Huai suddenly got up and served her medicine.
Shang Yaqiao's face became bitter all of a sudden, and she looked at Qin Huai miserably.
"Drink the medicine if you understand. It's not in vain that I've brainwashed you for so long. β
With a kind smile on his face, Qin Huai put the hot 'Siwu Soup' on the coffee table.
"As you just said, you have to cooperate with the doctor. β
Qin Huai had a smile on the corner of his mouth.
