Chapter 88 Chinese Medicine and Chinese Medicine (1)

Zhu Youxiao named the first child according to Zhu Youxiao in history, and Zhu Youxiao didn't bother to bother with it.

Zhu Youxiao thought of a serious thing through Empress Zhang Yan's childbirth, that is, the medical problem in this era, just like Empress Zhang Yan's thing, under normal circumstances, the tragedy of the death of both mother and son will occur, because he is the emperor, so he can mobilize all the doctors in the capital to help, ordinary people will definitely not be able to do it, even if it is difficult for ordinary large families, so it is necessary to do the popularization of ordinary doctors.

In fact, whether it is traditional Chinese medicine or Western medicine in later generations, their sources are almost the same, but due to the early development of Western chemical science, resulting in the chemicalization of Western medicine, so the current Western medicine is called chemical medicine in China, the advantage of chemical drugs is that they can be accurately measured, witness the drug, and the effect is rapid, but the shortcomings are more obvious, that is, the symptoms are not cured, and it is easy to cause resistance, which is the so-called "one foot high and one foot high", and the research speed of chemical drugs can never catch up with the evolution speed of the virus. Forcing a lot of financial and material resources to continuously invest in new chemical drugs, the result is that new drugs are profiteering and abused. In this regard, both human and pesticide are within this range.

To give an obvious example, penicillin, when it was successfully developed in the forties of the twentieth century, its price was comparable to gold, but in the nineties it was almost the price of cabbage, and in the seventies it used 40 to 800,000 units, and in the nineties it began to use 1.6 million to 4 million units. There is another example, that is, artemisinin, which is a famous female scientist Tu Youyou in the seventies of the twentieth century in the classical medical books found in the treatment of malaria, when artemisinin was extracted by chemical methods, the efficacy has been significantly improved, but now in the early twenty-first century, it was found that malaria resistance to it doubled, so I had to continue to study and purify.

The shortcomings of traditional Chinese medicine are also obvious, most people think that it is slow to work, and even think that traditional Chinese medicine is a deceptive witchcraft, looking, smelling, cutting, and asking are tricks to trick people, in fact, this is a misunderstanding, which is a lack of understanding of traditional Chinese medicine. The source of Chinese medicine comes from witchcraft, there is no doubt about it, in fact, including the source of Western medicine is the same, that is in ancient times, people do not understand various natural phenomena, exorcism is a kind of worship and awe of nature, but with the development of society, people's continuous understanding of nature, gradually separate witchcraft and medical skills, Western medicine gradually developed in the direction of chemistry, and Chinese medicine because of the late development of science and technology in Asia, did not develop in this area, in fact, this is also the luck of the Chinese, Otherwise, Chinese medicine will gradually fade out and disappear.

In fact, the treatment of diseases with traditional Chinese medicine is not slow, but most of the time it is inaccurate in judgment, which is a matter of personal medical skills of doctors. Since ancient times, traditional Chinese medicine has been passed down from generation to generation in the way of masters and apprentices, coupled with the vast territory of China, the use of drugs in various places for different diseases, and there is no systematic and unified theoretical guidance, as a result, there are various factions, and they attack each other for their own jobs, so to the point that modern Chinese medicine has reached the point of being misunderstood. To give a simple example, this is a personal experience, a lactating woman has milk, that is, the Western medicine said that the breast is blocked, first injected and then infusion, the high fever does not go away for seven days, the doctor is helpless, and he is ready to operate, but he met a soil doctor, seeing this symptom, he simply used a penny of antler dander, washed it with hot boiled water, covered it with a quilt and slept for two hours, and there was nothing after waking up, in fact, this is not a miracle, this is just the reason why the soil doctor judged the disease, And this person knows very well about the symptoms of the use of the drug, but if you want him to go to other diseases, it may not be possible, which is also called a specialization in the art industry.

Traditional Chinese medicine has a long history in our country, and the development of different historical stages is not the same, in the Zhou Dynasty there was a famous doctor Bian Que, which is a legendary character, maybe a person or maybe the story of several people. In the war-torn years at the end of the Han Dynasty, there were countless injuries and plagues, and at the same time, famous doctors such as Zhang Zhongjing and Hua Tuo were also achieved, and Chinese medicine made great progress at this stage. In the Tang Dynasty, one of the most powerful dynasties in Chinese history, Chinese medicine was also greatly developed at this time, and the famous medicine king Sun Simiao wrote the "Qianjin Prescription", and set the power of the country to formulate the "Tang Materia Medica". In the Ming Dynasty, the "Yongle Pharmacopoeia" was compiled with the power of the state, and Li Shizhen's "Compendium of Materia Medica" is still used even in modern society. It is a pity that in modern times, under the influence of Western utilitarianism, there are fewer and fewer people who really study medicine and study books, coupled with the utilitarian profits of Western medicine, which has led to the decline of traditional Chinese medicine and made people lose confidence in the role of traditional Chinese medicine.

Zhu Youxiao's purpose is to establish a comprehensive, systematic, effective, simple and easy-to-understand theoretical system of traditional Chinese medicine before traditional Chinese medicine is affected by chemical drugs and Western medicine. As long as the common people can correctly understand the benefits of traditional Chinese medicine, it will not happen that traditional Chinese medicine is not as good as Western medicine in the future, so that only traditional Chinese medicine will kill Western medicine, and it will not decline by itself.

In the modern society, the so-called combination of traditional Chinese medicine and Western medicine, the result of the combination is the western method of traditional Chinese medicine, the result of the western preparation of traditional Chinese medicine is to engulf the traditional pharmaceutical method, only extract some known chemical ingredients, and other active ingredients with auxiliary effects are automatically filtered out, resulting in worse and worse results, that is, the effect is not as good as chemical medicine, nor as good as the effect of traditional medicine, with an idiom called "Handan toddler", lost his own, and did not learn other people's things.

Another important thing is that the composition of traditional Chinese medicine is more troublesome, divided into Jun, Chen, Zuo, Make, etc., simple three or five flavors can be used or a single flavor can be used less, perhaps when the formula can not be judged the efficacy of a single medicine, so the compound preparation is more, the most I have seen more than 70 Chinese medicine formulas, like this prescription is best not to have again, it is best to have six or seven flavor medicines more than seven or eight flavors of Chinese medicine to form a prescription, where the efficacy is basically the same as minimize the use of flavors.

It is Zhu Youxiao's consistent personality to do what he says, and there is no need to discuss this matter with many people, there are many imperial doctors in the palace, and there are all kinds of factions, as for the collection of books, is there more than the collection of books in the imperial hospital? Zhu Youxiao found the most sophisticated imperial doctor in the palace, and was going to consult with him about the feasibility of this matter, and then see how much it would cost to establish a slightly larger school of Chinese medicine.

As a result, Zhu Youxiao was tragic, and the imperial doctor thought that it was impossible to do this, because every doctor wanted to ensure his own job, who would share his eight generations of ancestors and his hard-earned experience with others. Zhu Youxiao also felt that the old doctor's statement made some sense at first, but Zhu Youxiao was not discouraged, and found a few young doctors who had just entered the hospital, but the result of asking again was shocked, these people thought that if Zhu Youxiao's idea was really achieved, then there would be a lot of people willing to participate in this matter, and it would not cost much.
