Chapter 127: The Dispute between China and the West
After Mostel finished speaking, the host came to the stage again and made a brief summary, "Next, I would like to invite representatives of the Chinese medicine community, Mr. Zhou and Liang, to explain the breadth and profundity of Chinese medicine. With that, he stepped aside again.
An old gentleman on the left side of the first row stood up, also turned around and bowed, and then walked quickly onto the podium, at a glance you can see that the old gentleman has a good physique, and he must pay special attention to health care.
"Traditional Chinese medicine was born in 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, qi, and blessing. The theory of TCM is derived from the summary of medical experience and the ancient Chinese thought of yin and yang and the five elements. Its contents include the theory of essence and qi, the theory of yin and yang and the five elements, qi, blood and fluid, Tibetan images, meridians, constitution, etiology, pathogenesis, pathogenesis, treatment principles, health preservation, etc. ”
"The theoretical system of traditional Chinese medicine is gradually formed after long-term clinical practice under the guidance of materialism and dialectical thought, which comes from practice and in turn guides practice. Through the analysis of the phenomenon, its internal mechanism is explored. Therefore, this unique theoretical system of Chinese medicine has two basic characteristics, one is the overall concept, and the other is the differentiation of syndromes. The basic theory of traditional Chinese medicine is a theoretical summary of the changes in the vital activities of the human body and diseases. ”
"There are four main diagnostic methods, namely, looking, smelling, asking, and cutting, and the main treatment methods are taking traditional Chinese medicine, acupuncture and cupping. I would like to talk to you about acupuncture, which is also a treatment method that both Chinese and Western medicine are more interested in. The old man said, and someone from the audience brought up a dummy model. ”
"Acupuncture and moxibustion are commonly used in acupuncture points according to the meridians on the 14 body surfaces of the human body, and different needle insertion techniques, depths and angles are selected according to different conditions and acupuncture points. ”
"The fourteen meridians are: Ren Meridian, Du Meridian, Hand Taiyin Lung Meridian, Hand Shaoyin Heart Meridian, Hand Yin Pericardial Meridian, Hand Yang Ming Large Intestine Meridian, Hand Sun Small Intestine Meridian, Hand Shaoyang Sanjiao Meridian, Foot Yang Ming Stomach Meridian, Foot Sun Bladder Meridian, Foot Shaoyang Gall Meridian, Foot Taiyin Spleen Meridian, Foot Shaoyin Kidney Meridian, Foot Shao Yin Liver Meridian. The old man pointed to the circuit diagram on the dummy, explained it, and took a silver needle to demonstrate it to everyone.
This is, I saw a few Western doctors with disdain, "I think that Chinese medicine basically has no effect on the role of medical treatment, so don't waste our time here!"
A sentence suddenly sounded, making everyone present stunned and turned their heads to look. I saw a foreigner who was holding Erlang's legs and arms, leaning on the seat and sitting on the right side of the first row, and said sarcastically.
Chen Lei originally listened to it with relish, this old gentleman's interpretation of Chinese medicine is still relatively profound, and he has never integrated the entire system of Chinese medicine before, just using the techniques of Chinese medicine to treat people, and now it sounds pretty good, but what the foreigner said at this time suddenly made Chen Lei dislike to listen to it, and he has no cultivation at all.
"What? Am I wrong? Chinese medicine has not made any achievements in actual medical treatment except for those incomprehensible and illusory statements. When the foreigner saw that everyone was looking at him, he was not only not ashamed, but also complacent.
The old man on the stage suddenly stammered, "Why is there such a person with such a high eye and a low master, do you know Chinese medicine? Just make a big statement here, what you don't understand doesn't mean it doesn't exist!" Chen Lei couldn't see it, and fought back.
"What? Could it be that Your Excellency can apply Chinese medicine to the medical profession? Hahaha, just with such a young man?" The foreigner heard someone retort to him, and immediately turned to seriousness, and asked Chen Lei loudly, while not forgetting to sneer.
Everyone present noticed that an extremely young man was sitting in the first row of this large conference room, but many people didn't know Chen Lei, so they asked who this person was.
First of all, as a Chinese medicine practitioner, I am still more sure of Western medicine, but to a certain extent, I still think that it is impossible to completely diagnose all the conditions of patients by relying on cold equipment and instruments, and at the same time, the treatment methods of Western medicine still need a large space for improvement, after all, some of the sequelae of Western medicine are too serious. ”
Chen Lei didn't care about the eyes of others, and said lightly.
"Hmph, strong words, do you think that all diseases can be cured through those bottles and cans and the same diagnostic techniques as jokes?" said the foreigner, if it weren't for the fact that the people present were more cultured, it is estimated that he would have scolded this fool-like Western medicine supporter a long time ago.
"All can't, but as long as it can be cured by Western medicine, Chinese medicine can treat it, and it is slightly better in terms of speed and efficacy and sequelae, and at the same time, Chinese medicine brings people not only healing, but also a kind of vitality that Western medicine lacks. Chen Lei no longer let this foreigner and said bluntly.
"You, you, you, this is nonsense, Chinese medicine can't even cure a small cold, how can you cure a disease? Hmph, you must be talking big here!" The foreigner said angrily when he saw Chen Lei's straightforward rebuttal.
"Hehe, isn't there anyone in Western medicine who can't even cure a cold? You can't judge the depth of a medicine by doctors, quacks are everywhere, and this phenomenon seems to be not only in Chinese medicine! Moreover, we Chinese medicine practitioners are basically Chinese, and we all pay attention to living in simplicity and collecting medicine everywhere, and no one has the time to publish too many articles in those newspapers and periodicals. Chen Lei asked rhetorically.
"Okay, okay, everyone don't make any noise, calm down, calm down. ”
Seeing a slight pause, the host immediately said in a hurry, and then looked at the old man on the stage with an embarrassed face, and found that the old man did not have the slightest anger, but looked at Chen Lei with a look of appreciation.
"This little guy said well, Chinese medicine pays attention to deep and simple, and every time the medicinal materials for treatment are very ordinary, they will basically go out to find them, although it is troublesome, but it can make a Chinese medicine have a very clear understanding of the growth environment of medicinal materials, and at the same time, you can also feel the magic of nature in nature. The old man said with a smile, not angry at all because of the foreigner.
"Hmph, I think you are just strong words, Chinese medicine is so powerful, how come I have never seen people use it on a large scale in the hospital!" The foreigner was still not convinced, and said angrily.
