The old dean closed his eyes, on the one hand, trying to feel the feeling of Fang Cai, and on the other hand, he was sorting out his thoughts.

Just now, he did have a feeling of despair, feeling that he seemed to have worked in vain all his life, and he thought that the best acupuncture was not as good as a young man in his twenties, and this kind of thing made him unacceptable.

But what Zhang Tianyuan didn't expect was that the massage just now made the old dean's mind clearer, after he experienced the initial disillusionment, he suddenly seemed to understand something, but this idea was generated in his mind, and it was not so clear, he needed to think about whether his idea was correct.

According to common sense, it is absolutely possible for TCM to achieve miraculous results, because unlike Western medicine, TCM is not a science based on modern chemistry and physics, but is essentially a traditional Chinese doctrine.

That is to say, based on the five elements of yin and yang, the human body is regarded as the unity of qi, form and spirit, and through the method of "looking, hearing, asking and cutting" four diagnoses and references, the etiology, pathology, and location of the disease are explored, and the changes in the five internal organs, meridians and joints, qi, blood, and fluid in the human body are analyzed, and the growth and decline of evil and blood are judged, and then the name of the disease is obtained, and the syndrome type is summarized. Diet therapy and other treatment methods can make the human body achieve the harmony of yin and yang and recover.

Why is TCM so difficult to be accepted by Western medical institutions?

In fact, the reason is very simple, your theoretical system is different from theirs, and it is too mysterious. There is a sense of elusiveness, in the eyes of serious Westerners. What can't be proven by data or formulas, that's unreliable. It's empiricism.

But because of this, TCM can be the best doctor or the worst.

This kind of thing is too common, and many old Chinese medicine doctors are deceiving people at all, not to mention delaying the condition, and it may also kill people. In particular, the so-called qigong has long been proven to be a liar's method, and it is not reliable at all.

But this is really not Chinese medicine, this is just a scammer under the guise of Chinese medicine. In the end, the reputation of Chinese medicine was ruined.

As far as the old dean knows, there are many legendary stories of traditional Chinese medicine, to say a little farther, such as the story of Bian Que, the most famous in the history of acupuncture and moxibustion, who brought people back to life.

Once, Bian Que passed by the country of Yu and saw that prayers were being held throughout the country, and when he inquired, he learned that Prince Yu had died. The prince's attendant told him that the prince had died suddenly in the early morning when the rooster crowed.

Bian Que asked, "Is it already buried?"

The attendant replied, "Not yet." He's been dead for less than half a day!"

Bian Que asked to go in and have a look. and said that Prince Yu may still have hope of survival.

The attendant's eyes widened, and he said suspiciously: "Sir, you must not be joking with me! I have only heard that the famous doctor Yu Yu in ancient times had the ability to bring the dead back to life. If only you could be like him, it would be the same. Otherwise, even children wouldn't believe it. ”

Bian Que saw that the attendants did not trust him. I'm in a hurry, and I need to know how important it is to save people. He had an idea and said, "If you don't believe me." Well, you go and see the prince. His nose must still be fanning, his inner thighs must still be warm."

The squire told the king in disbelief. The king was astonished. Hurriedly welcomed Bian Que into the palace, and wept bitterly and said: "I have heard for a long time that you have excellent medical skills, and I am fortunate to help you today." Otherwise, my son's life will be over."

Bian Que comforted the king on the one hand, and asked his disciple Yang to grind the stone needle and puncture the Baihui acupoint on the top of the prince's head. After a while, the prince gradually woke up, and Bian Que asked his disciple Zibao to use medicine to moxibustion the patient's two wedges, and the prince was able to sit up slowly! After further conditioning with Chinese medicine, he recovered as before in 20 days.

Everywhere Bian Que went, someone said, "He is the doctor who raises the dead!"

When Bian Que heard this, he smiled humbly and said: "Where can I make the dead alive, the prince is suffering from a 'corpse' certificate, and he is not dead in the first place, I just revive him." ”

Later, the term "resurrection" was often used to describe the skill of doctors. Some patients sometimes send a plaque of "Bian Que's reincarnation" in order to thank the doctor, which is also a tribute to the doctor's superb medical skills.

This is the real model of traditional Chinese medicine, and just a few needles can bring a person back to life, so if you think about it this way, Zhang Tianyuan can restore his originally uncomfortable leg to health with a few needles, which is not impossible, not to mention that he seems to have applied some medicine before, this may be the trick.

In fact, not only Bian Que, but the reason why the old dean chose to engage in traditional Chinese medicine was also because he met a master.

He originally studied Western medicine, and at that time, like many young people, he longed for Western science and technology, so he went to study Western medicine.

But then something happened, when the daughter of a friend of his was only two years old, she suffered from sudden muscle weakness, her eyelids could not be raised, and the child always felt very weak when she saw things, and her eyes could not be opened widely, which was not only ugly, but also affected the child's vision.

At that time, his friend could go all over the big hospitals in the city, but it was useless, and the old dean was just an apprentice in the medical field at that time, of course, he couldn't help much, so he could only help find a doctor.

Later, I went to a traditional Chinese medicine hospital, and the director there said that it was not a big problem, and that he only needed to insist on needle insertion for three months to relieve his strength.

Originally, people, including the old dean, didn't believe it, and even thought that this was a trick liar, how could Chinese medicine be so powerful, and how could acupuncture be so magical.

But I can't cure it after finding so many ways, so what else can I do, so I can only try.

Who would have thought that after only a week, the child's eyes had obviously improved, and the child's father was overjoyed and said that he would get a pennant or something for the director of the Chinese medicine hospital.

But the old dean was still skeptical at the time, so he said don't panic yet, wait and see, and talk about it when he is cured.

The old dean actually had some other ideas, because the child had been treated by Western medicine before, so he felt that the effect in such a short period of time might be the credit of Western medicine.

In fact, the old dean's family is an ancestral family of traditional Chinese medicine, and the family used to let the old dean learn traditional Chinese medicine.

The old dean was one hundred and twenty unhappy.

What era is it, and you still study Chinese medicine...... Don't look at the old dean from a family of traditional Chinese medicine, but he has a very good opinion of traditional Chinese medicine: When a critical patient comes, I pour him Chinese medicine soup, can I pour it in?

However, three months later, he had to admit one thing, he had been regarded as garbage, as dross of acupuncture, actually really cured the child's muscle weakness, the director of the hospital at that time said that there is no need to continue acupuncture in the future, you can go to the hospital regularly to massage, to ensure the effect, a year later, you can be cured.

Since then, the old dean has worshiped under the door of the old Chinese medicine doctor, and he has studied Chinese medicine all the way to this day.

During the day, he followed the old Chinese medicine doctor to diagnose the pulse, and at night he studied ancient texts and understood the medical records. It took ten years to get out of the division. In the past ten years, the old dean has become interested in Chinese medicine, and the more he learns, the more flavorful he becomes, and he persists until the end.

When he arrived at the Institute of Traditional Chinese Medicine, the old dean realized how glittering his signboard of this family of Chinese medicine was. As a junior, with so many gray beards nodding at him, it feels really extraordinary. With this signboard poked there, the patient came and felt half healed.

Of course, the old dean does have his true talent and learning, coupled with the unique diagnosis and treatment methods accumulated by the family for hundreds of years, many unique prescriptions, with courage and carefulness, he has really cured many incurable diseases.

In fact, if you think about it carefully, Zhang Tianyuan's acupuncture and massage can achieve magical results, and it is not impossible, maybe he can do it himself, but the key problem lies in the kind of medicine that is smeared, and that is the problem.

"Young man, what kind of medicine is in your box, if I guess correctly, your acupuncture and massage can achieve such excellent results, it should have something to do with this medicine, right?"

Instead of thinking about it yourself, it's better to ask directly.

Because in fact, the magic of Chinese medicine is more complex than modern Chinese medicine research, and even the theory of yin and yang of the five elements that some people call is not comprehensive.

Traditional Chinese medicine, i.e. as opposed to Western medicine. Before Western medicine flowed into China, Chinese medicine was basically not called Chinese medicine, but had a unique and rich title.

Traditional Chinese medicine was born in the primitive society, the theory of traditional Chinese medicine in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States period has been basically formed, there have been anatomical and medical subspecialties, and the "four diagnoses" have been adopted, and the treatment methods include stone, acupuncture, decoction, moxibustion, guidance, cloth qi, Zhu You, etc. Since ancient times, there has been a saying that "medicine and Taoism are connected".

This influence can be traced back to the Huanglao Taoist classic, the Yellow Emperor's Neijing, which is one of the four classics of traditional Chinese medicine and the earliest medical classic in China's medical treasure house. At the same time, it is a medical masterpiece that studies human physiology, pathology, diagnosis, treatment principles and pharmacology. Theoretically, the "Yin and Yang Five Elements Theory", "Pulse Theory", "Tibetan Elephant Theory", "Meridian Theory", "Etiology Theory", "Pathogenesis Theory", "Disease", "Diagnosis", "Treatment" and "Health Maintenance", "Luck" and other theories were established in Chinese medicine.

In the Eastern Han Dynasty, there was a famous medical scientist Zhang Zhongjing, who already had an understanding of the "Eight Outlines", that is, yin and yang, inside and outside, virtual and real, cold and heat, and summarized the "Eight Laws".

Hua Tuo is known for his proficiency in surgery and anesthesia, and also founded the fitness gymnastics "Five Bird Opera".

In the Tang Dynasty, Sun Simiao summarized the theories of his predecessors and summed up his experience, collected more than 5,000 prescriptions, and used syndrome differentiation treatment, because of the highest medical ethics, he was respected as the "King of Medicine". (To be continued.) )
