Chapter 168: Be Harmonious

Chapter subtitle: We Seris are all little angels of peace

"I'm sorry, Mr. Yuan. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info I still don't understand what you mean. ”

After listening to Master Yuan's "scientific argument", the four people present thought for a long time, and finally Theodore Edison opened his mouth to ask.

Yuan Yanqian sighed and said, "Okay, Mr. Edison." Allow me to use an inappropriate analogy......"

"There are several chicken farms of the same size, one of which is called Europa and the other is called Seris, who can only make sure that their chickens do not starve. But the two families had almost the same number of chickens. What does this mean? ”

He asked himself: "This only shows that the chicken farm in Seris is more skilled in raising chickens." ”

Well, in fact, this set of statements is not without problems, but as long as it sounds logically consistent.

It's a pity that Thomas Edison, the great scientist, is not so easily caught up in this set of arguments. He directly retorted: "Mr. Yuan, population is affected by many factors, and medicine is just one of them. Just because you Chinese more than you Chinese proves that your medicine is even better......"

"And I have to point out that although Mr. Yuan, you have recovered so quickly, but this is not necessarily the credit of some Chinese medicinal wine. Maybe it's because of some other unknown factor? ”

Our Master Yuan sighed in his heart, scientists are really not so easy to fool, and history, more precisely, the development of medicine does not leave much time for Chinese medicine, it seems that Lao Tzu is not good at moving a little bit of truth.

Why is it said that the time of Chinese medicine is running out?

Because in the 1920s, the Western medical profession had taken off the blindfold of ignorance and superstition and saw the dawn of modern medicine.

Until the middle of the nineteenth century, Chinese medicine was no worse than Western medicine in terms of efficacy and theory, except for a slight lag behind Western medicine in anatomy.

At that time, the medical theory adopted by the Western medical community was the humorae theory proposed by Hippocrates in the fourth century BC and Galen in the second century AD, which believed that the human body contains four different fluids, namely blood, mucus, yellow bile and black bile. They are produced in the heart (blood), brain (mucus), liver (yellow bile), and stomach (black bile).

Hippocrates believed that the four bodily fluids formed the nature of the human body, and that the condition of the body depended on the correct fit of the four fluids.

Compared with our theory of yin and yang and five elements, how clever can this Raushzi Four Body Fluids be?

And according to this doctrine, the treatment methods used by Western medicine are even more terrifying, such as bloodletting, leeches, gas canisters, laxatives, arsenic saunas (for the treatment of Gallic diseases), and so on, which are the means of adjusting the ratio of "bodily fluids". It's really not as good as the acupuncture, massage, and herbal medicine of the Seris people.

However, with the development of Western science, the German physician Rudolf, known as the "Pope of Medicine", ? Ludwig? Cal? The cytopathological theory proposed by Fürchault (1821-1902) replaced the four-humoral theory a few decades ago.

By the way, this gentleman is also a famous paleoanthropologist, archaeologist and politician. The Fühlshaw Prize, known as the "Nobel Prize in Medicine", is named after him.

After that, the pathogenicity of bacteria and viruses was also accepted by the Western medical community. Clinical pathology has also developed gradually.

That is to say, the theory of Western medicine to modern medicine has been completed, and what is lacking now is ...... Antibiotics.

Without sulfonamides and penicillin, theories are still theories after all, and damn it has to be died. For example, the Western medical community has already figured out the pathogenesis of sepsis at this time, but they can only let the patients resist it themselves. For example, Mycobacterium tuberculosis was discovered as early as 1882, but more than 40 years later, tuberculosis is still incurable, and there is no other way than to relieve the pain of patients with Aphronon products.

Even if our Master Yuan is a traverser, he can't stop the general trend of history so that antibiotics can't appear, but he can take advantage of the appearance of antibiotics to make Chinese medicine a high-end and high-grade alternative therapy.

He sighed leisurely and said, "It seems that Mr. Edison is a Chinese medicine practitioner for us...... Well, I should say that there is still a misunderstanding in medicine. ”

"Misunderstanding?" The great inventor was stunned when he heard this, he is also a scientist with status and status, and his temperament is at best to insist on his own opinions, and to his arms is to be rigid and self-serving.

Therefore, he said in a very unhappy tone, "May I ask Mr. Yuan, what did I say wrong?" ”

Yuan Yanqian replied without being stunned: "Mr. Edison, I have to say that your Western philosophy of life is too ...... Well, it's too aggressive, it's too aggressive! ”

“Veni, Vedi, Vici 。” After showing off a famous Latin saying, he continued, "As Julius Caesar said, when you see a new world, you will conquer the new world, when you see a heretic, you will conquer the infidels, when you see nature, you will conquer nature, and when you see disease, you will conquer disease......"

To tell the truth, we Chinese are really a little less aggressive, no wonder the one who wants to say "Fighting with the three talents of heaven, earth and man is really happy to kill individuals".

In this case, then I will package the Chinese of this era as little angels of peace.

So Master Yuan said earnestly: "And we Chinese are different. We strive for harmony in everything we do. Harmony in dealing with people, harmony in governing the country, harmony in clothing, food, housing and transportation, even code words...... Well, calligraphy, painting, singing, dancing, gardening and other art forms are even more harmonious. ”

He raised his glass and said, "Let's say a bar." We Chinese only drink wine in spring, that is, light sweet wine. Because spring is the time when everything grows, and it is also the season when the liver is the most fragile, so it is necessary to consume less alcohol and eat more sweets. ”

"And in the summer, you have to drink bayberry and lychee...... Fruit wine of various fruits, which can replenish vitamins and adapt the body to the hot and dry climate. It's better to eat some more...... That lamb. ”

Yuan Yanqian secretly said in her heart, it's a pity that you foreigners "don't know what to call it", dog meat rolls three times, and the gods can't stand steadily.

"In autumn, rice wine made from glutinous rice is most suitable with crabs, which is nutritious and delicious."

"In the winter, you can drink some strong liquor with a high degree and have a hot pot...... Our Chinese hot pot is similar to butter hot pot, except that we don't use butter and soup stock. This not only resists the cold, but also invigorates blood and dispels blood stasis, allowing people to survive the cold winter. So ......"

"So......" Thomas Edison suddenly interjected, "you Orientals waste all your time on this kind of thing, which is why we Westerners are so far behind!" ”
