Lin Yuan shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Ms. Rui, the loss of some Chinese medicine secret recipes in Huaxia must not be described as a loss that is not too big. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 I can responsibly say that this loss is a great loss for TCM. But I think that this loss cannot shake the foundation of Chinese medicine, nothing more. ”

You must know that the essence of traditional Chinese medicine has been accumulated over thousands of years, and a prescription and hundreds of prescriptions are just a drop in the ocean for the behemoth of Chinese medicine.

No matter how miraculous the prescription is, it will never be irreplaceable.

Take Lin Yuan's ancestral life-sustaining pill as an example, this is a very valuable recipe that the ancestors of the Lin family have accumulated through several generations of research.

However, if the life-sustaining pill does not exist, will Chinese medicine be in decline? Obviously, it can't.

Moreover, as long as there are TCM theories here, there will be countless TCM peer research, and sooner or later they will crack the prescriptions that once existed, or be able to find alternative prescriptions.

Traditional Chinese medicine is a monumental symbol of Chinese civilization, and it has played a very important role in Chinese civilization, just like various schools of thought in China.

On the whole, TCM is a traditional school of thought with a unique outlook. I have to admit that in the early stage of the development of traditional Chinese medicine, it was mixed with some blessings and divination, and some debatable things.

In ancient characters, there is a big witch character in the middle of the word medicine. For a long period of time, witch doctors were inseparable from each other, and no one could deny the fact. Even in Datang, there is also the category of Zhu Youke in the medical discipline.

What is commendable is that in the long historical development of the ancients, the mainstream of Chinese medicine eliminated these things from Chinese medicine, and gradually formed a relatively professional and pure simple discipline for the purpose of curing diseases and saving people.

You must know that Chinese people have always respected tradition and ancestors. If you can slowly eliminate the things that have been passed down for thousands of years, you should also add a lot of points to Chinese medicine for this rigor.

It is said that the thinking of Chinese medicine is idealistic, but Lin Yuan does not think so.

Lin Yuan believes that Chinese medicine has an element of idealism, but in general, it is a set of ideological systems derived from reverence for heaven and earth, that is, reverence for nature.

Such a system can be found everywhere in the ancient Chinese civilization, that is to say, the ancient Chinese people's cognition of the world is full of a large world view.

Because of the limitations of the era at that time, some phenomena could not be explained, so some idealistic and metaphysical theories appeared.

Someone once studied that the biggest difference between Eastern and Western civilizations lies in the difference in focus. The main reason why things such as logic and physics, which laid the foundation for contemporary thought, can appear in the West and not in the East is that people in the East and the West take different perspectives to observe the world.

Aristotle observed some behaviors in the daily life, so he was able to follow the movement of objects in the daily life, and the logic of people's behavior laid the foundation of the Western discipline.

And in the East, look at the "Book of Changes", which is known as the head of the group of classics, the opening hexagram is Tianxingjian, and the gentleman is constantly striving for self-improvement. Oriental people, in fact, are Chinese people, with an eye on the vast cosmic firmament, and then Kun, that is, the earth, which is virtuous and beneficial to all things.

In such a context, the embarrassing problem faced by Eastern thought is that there is not enough observation and cognition to fill this huge theoretical system. As a result, there is a huge and strong contrast between the Eastern civilization and the Western civilization.

The contrast between Eastern and Western civilizations is actually roughly the difference between Chinese and Western medicine.

Western medicine focuses on clinical trials, that is, for any disease, the previous experimental data or clinical data are taken as the golden rule, and a complete set of treatment mechanisms is determined according to the digital cases that have occurred.

The treatment of traditional Chinese medicine is completely case-by-case, believing that the pathogenesis of each person may be completely different, and the response mechanism of the human body is also very different, so special emphasis is placed on the diagnosis of the person, and then the treatment of syndrome differentiation.

It should be said that Chinese medicine and Western medicine each have their own strengths, strengths, and shortcomings. From the diagnostic point of view, relying on medical devices and the diagnostic conclusions drawn from previous clinical data are obviously not as scientific as treating each patient as an individual case in traditional Chinese medicine.

The grasp and diagnosis of individual cases in TCM depends on the doctor's personal feelings. You know, personal feelings are often affected by many factors, in a sense, feelings and data, people tend to choose to believe in data, which is one of the reasons why contemporary people believe in Western medicine.

In Lin Yuan's view, there are huge differences in the Department of Traditional Chinese Medicine, each with its own characteristics, and it cannot be said that which one is stronger than the other, let alone who is better. Both have something to borrow from the other. It would be sad for the entire medical profession to think that Chinese and Western medicine are incompatible, or even incompatible.

Rui Man nodded again and again when she heard this, and asked with a smile: "Mr. Lin, what you said is a little pessimistic, right?" I don't know much about the situation of traditional Chinese medicine, while Western medicine has entered the era of computer-controlled nanorobots entering the human body for treatment. Although this is still the beginning, the future is very bright. Under such circumstances, do you think Chinese medicine will still have the capital to compete with Western medicine?"

"Hehe, Ms. Rui, no matter what time it is, whether it is an Oriental or a Westerner, there will be a consensus in the end, that is, the more it develops, the more cautious people's understanding of Chinese medicine becomes. Ms. Rui, you probably know that Westerners currently have a view that the ultimate point of science is theology, and that Western medicine and Chinese medicine may eventually develop like this. ”

Rui Man pondered and said: "Mr. Lin, from your words, I have heard incomparable self-confidence, may I ask, what is the source of your self-confidence? Is it similar to what you said that the development of science to the limit is the limit of thought like theology?"

"Hehe, I don't infer the future from the criteria of the development of ideas. ”

Lin Yuan gave Rui Man an example of the different approaches taken by Chinese and Western medicine when dealing with the inevitable pain of patients.

For example, if you have a major surgery, the patient suffers unimaginable pain because of it.

During the operation, Western medicine will use anesthetic drugs to relieve the patient's pain, but after the operation is completed, the unimaginable pain will make the patient feel unbearable.

Western medicine can't do anything about it, but let it happen.

Recently, however, some researchers in Western medicine have found that during and after surgery, the use of Chinese acupuncture techniques can greatly relieve the pain of patients.

Moreover, in the postoperative recovery process, some health care food therapy and medicine therapy of traditional Chinese medicine have a very miraculous effect on the recovery of patients.

At present, some top research institutions in the United States have begun to research the clinical operation of acupuncture, and the scientific research funds received every year are very large.

This shows that while Chinese medicine is learning from Western medicine, Western medicine is also absorbing the valuable nutrients of Chinese medicine.

Lin Yuan said with a smile: "Ms. Rui, what I see is that Chinese and Western medicine are constantly influencing each other, and in the end, there will be a process of relative integration. This is the trend of the times, and it is not something I predicted randomly. ”

"Mr. Lin, since this is the case, then Chinese medicine should actively have a good interaction with Western medicine, why do you have the idea of returning to tradition at the Xinglin Meeting?"

"This is a very complicated issue, because Chinese medicine has gone through a very painful process from the end of the Qing Dynasty to the present, and in more than a hundred years, Chinese medicine has lost too many things, been suppressed too much, and even reached the point of life and death. Ms. Rui, your knowledge is broad enough, may I ask, how much do you know about Chinese medicine?"

Rui Man smiled a little embarrassedly and said, "Mr. Lin, before listening to your explanation, I thought I knew a lot about Chinese medicine. But after listening to your words, I realized how superficial my understanding of Chinese medicine is. Indeed, Chinese medicine is even on the verge of pseudoscience in people's minds, is this why you advocate a return to tradition?"

"Yes, Chinese medicine is powerless, and Chinese medicine practitioners are duty-bound, but there are other complex reasons. In order for the public to have an objective understanding of Chinese medicine, it is necessary to let Chinese medicine return to its original appearance. Mythical Chinese medicine and demonized Chinese medicine are both great harm to Chinese medicine, and it is a scientific and prudent attitude to return to tradition, return to the origin, and show people with their true faces. ”

Rui Man nodded, thought for a while and said, "Mr. Lin Yuan, I want to do another interview, so that you can connect with our audience on the spot, so that there can be an interaction, do you accept such an arrangement?"

"This ......" Lin Yuan suddenly remembered a similar program he had seen, a host, an expert, promoting products, no matter how you look at it, it looks like a cheat of money.

"That's right, Mr. Lin Yuan, after our program was broadcast, the response was very good. There are many people who have called our column team to ask if there is a sequel. Hehe, our show has become a TV series, and a lot of viewers hope to see something extended. ”

"Okay, I'll take over this arrangement, Ms. Rui, won't let me do some promotion and publicity and stuff like that, right?"

"Don't worry, Mr. Lin, we are a regular CCTV program, and we will never ask you to do anything else in the program. I'd like to explain to you, in our talk show, please don't insert your own product placement, that will be directly choked. ”

Lin Yuan was relieved all of a sudden, now doing programs, especially those involving medicine, has changed beyond recognition, either advertising or promotion, Lin Yuan doesn't want to be such a person.
