The holiday is over in a blink of an eye, and on this day, Qi Feiyang was discussing some engineering matters with the construction team leader at the construction site, when his mobile phone rang, and the caller ID was Gao Yingjie.

When he answered the phone, he heard Gao Yingjie's loud voice: "Hello Instructor Qi, I'm Gao Yingjie, our special combat team is training at the Dongling base, do you have time to come over for guidance recently?" ”

Qi Feiyang thought for a moment and said, "No problem, I can go over tomorrow." ”

"Okay, I'll pick you up tomorrow!"

"You don't have to pick it up, I'll just drive over by myself."

"That's not good, grandpa specially explained that he wants to receive Instructor Qi with a high standard, okay, let's not talk about this, you can wait for me at home tomorrow."

Gao Yingjie hung up the phone after speaking, Qi Feiyang had no choice but to smile, put away the mobile phone, and explained to the construction team leader before going home.

After taking a shower at night, Qi Feiyang took out the Qingyang Pharmacopoeia for research, which not only recorded the medicinal properties of various medicinal materials, but also thousands of prescriptions. What is even more rare is that each prescription has a corresponding case, and the reaction and efficacy of the case after medication are noted, as well as the errata of the medicinal properties of the medicinal materials and the adjustment and improvement process of the prescription.

He estimated that this pharmacopoeia was sorted out by Qingyangzi from the practical experience of practicing medicine in his usual practice, which is really a priceless treasure in the medical field.

Qi Feiyang was engrossed in studying the prescriptions one by one, even though his heart was like water now, and there were few things that could make him make waves, but at this moment, he was full of supreme respect for Qingyangzi from the bottom of his heart.

What a good healer, Qingyangzi is obsessed with the study of pharmacology, not limited to the achievements of his predecessors, and has created many unique prescriptions in practice, which is a very valuable wealth for future generations.

At the same time, he felt very sorry for Qingyangzi's ending, and he couldn't guess that there was any deep hatred between Qingyangzi and Chiyangzi, so that they had to fight for their lives and finally die together.

Qi Feiyang was born in a family of traditional Chinese medicine, and has studied medicine with his father since he was a child, and has a deep understanding of the subtlety of traditional Chinese medicine, and deeply admires the wisdom of the ancients in understanding the way of medicine from the relationship between man and nature.

For example, in viral infection, the method of Western medicine is to try to figure out what the virus is, and then find drugs to destroy or inhibit the virus, which will damage other body functions while destroying the virus. The idea of traditional Chinese medicine is to regulate the balance of human body functions through drugs, and enhance the body's immunity to achieve the effect of suppressing and destroying viruses.

Another example is stomach disease, ranitidine can alleviate the condition, but the kidneys can't stand it after taking too much of this medicine. Traditional Chinese medicine uses the concept of nourishing the stomach to slowly restore the gastrointestinal function. In these respects, TCM is clearly more scientific than the Western medicine method.

However, he is also very aware of the disadvantages of traditional Chinese medicine, in addition to the problems of inheritance mentioned above, there are also shortcomings in other aspects.

First, there is no quantitative standard for traditional Chinese medicine, such as the therapeutic effect of the disease, the proportion of the prescription, and the grasp of the dosage, all of which are judged by feeling and experience, and can only be judged by trial and error in practice, which is not a problem, but if there is no systematic inheritance mechanism, everyone hides the good things of their own family, and calls it "ancestral secret recipe" secret.

Second, they were bound by the traditional idea of "parents of the body's hair and skin", and there was no way to carry out anatomical research, and the ancients relied on imagination for many of the structure and function of human organs.

Third, due to the limitation of diagnostic methods, it is difficult to improve the accuracy of diagnosis. The traditional "looking, hearing, asking, and seeing" is only a simple primary diagnosis method, which is superficial, and it is difficult to accurately judge the condition.

For example, it is difficult to accurately diagnose the condition by taking the pulse, because the pulse is only the arterial beating caused by the pumping of blood when the heart contracts, and the strength of the beating is mainly related to the function of the heart and blood vessels.

A doctor in a hospital once challenged a Chinese medicine practitioner to take the pulse of 10 randomly selected young women to see if they could take the pulse of joy, but no one dared to respond. Therefore, some people think that the pulse is more of a means of trickery by doctors, similar to the prelude movements that magicians do during performances.

Objectively speaking, traditional Chinese medicine is indeed lagging behind modern diagnostic instruments in terms of diagnostic accuracy, which is the main reason why the country wants to promote the integration of traditional Chinese and Western medicine, and it is also an important reason why Qi Wenli let Qi Feiyang choose to study in a medical university.

However, many things seem mysterious, and it cannot be said that they do not exist, such as tendons and acupuncture points, which cannot be seen through human anatomy, but cultivators know that they are real, and they are the key to the cultivation of true cultivators.

Like radio waves and magnetic fields, they are also things that cannot be seen or touched, but can you say that they do not exist?

Therefore, although TCM has certain deficiencies in diagnosis, some experienced doctors can still achieve a high level of diagnosis through traditional means.

Fourth, there is a lack of precise pharmacological research. For example, we all know that a certain medicinal material can cure a certain disease, but why the medicinal material can cure this disease, what active ingredients are contained in the medicinal materials, what harmful substances are contained, what side effects will be produced, etc., are only vague statements, until modern times began to in-depth research, some scientific research institutions are using advanced chemical biology and other technical means, hoping to understand the compound prescription of traditional Chinese medicine, the treatment mechanism of unilateral prescriptions.

Fifth, many of the prescriptions that are now circulating in the world are uneven, and the judgment of medicinal properties is also biased, and many so-called folk remedies have not been tested in practice, and some are false, and some are imaginary.

There are even some shameless people who don't know anything about traditional Chinese medicine, but they swagger and deceive everywhere in the name of miracle doctors, such as mung bean zhang, miscanthus nitrate, etc., as well as folk remedies such as swallowing live loaches, swallowing maggots raw, injecting rooster blood, drinking incense burner ashes, etc., which are simply strange and strange.

All these things are damaging the reputation of Chinese medicine all the time, making many people misunderstand Chinese medicine and think that Chinese medicine is a lie.

It is no wonder that some people ridicule the basic principle of traditional Chinese medicine as "red to nourish blood, black hair, long round to replenish that, bat feces to brighten the eyes, and walnuts to replenish the brain." ”

In this regard, Qi Feiyang could only shake his head and sigh, crying out in vain.

Qi Feiyang compared the prescriptions of Qingyang Pharmacopoeia with his own family medical skills, gained a deeper understanding of pathology and pharmacology, and admired Qingyangzi's rigorous spirit of medicine research.

With the growth of cultivation, combined with the discussion of Qingyang Pharmacopoeia, his understanding of medical Tao has become more thorough.

Before that, he believed that the only pursuit of a doctor was to cure the sick and save people, but now he agrees with Qingyangzi's view that it is humane for a doctor to treat the sick and save people, but it is not the way of heaven.

By observing the survival rules of animals and plants, Qingyangzi found that the growth and reproduction of all things follow a law, that is, survival of the fittest, survival of the fittest. Only in this way can we pass on the best and strongest genes and better adapt to the changes and development of nature.

The continuous development of medical technology is obviously contrary to this natural law, and the excessive use of external interference will make human beings slowly lose their self-evolution function.

Do other animals have doctors besides humans? They are not alive and well yet, and even longer and better than humans. Animals' hearing, vision, smell, digestion and absorption capabilities, and resistance to viruses and bacteria are much stronger than those of humans. In addition to the continuous evolution of the human brain, the functions of other organs of the human body are actually degrading.

With the development of human civilization, genes are inherited regardless of whether they are good or bad, and it is a huge obstacle to the evolution of human life, which will eventually be eaten by the Heavenly Dao.

Therefore, Qingyangzi believes that not every patient needs to try his best to save it, the primary purpose of doctors is to ensure the health of normal people, and patients with congenital defects should be eliminated by the laws of nature, and those terminally ill patients who know that they cannot be treated should no longer waste medical resources.

Qi Feiyang also knew that in the case of limited resources, the ancient Spartans had adopted the method of natural elimination, giving up frail babies and concentrating resources on raising healthy children. Some birds lay several eggs when they breed, but the parents will sit back and watch the birds kill each other, and in the end, only the strongest bird will survive.

But even so, Qi Feiyang still can't fully accept Qingyangzi's point of view, because of the compassion rooted in the heart of the doctor, that is, the so-called benevolence of the doctor.

He knows that the continuous development of modern civilization, advocating equality for all people and sharing resources, is where human civilization conflicts with the laws of nature, and is another evolutionary direction chosen by human beings themselves.

As for what kind of evolution will be in tens of millions of years, I am afraid that no one can predict, but by that time, the earth may no longer be suitable for human life.

Therefore, he no longer dwells on this question, because there is no point in thinking about it, and the ultimate fate of mankind depends on the evolution of the laws of nature.

He comprehended the way of medicine from the Qingyang Pharmacopoeia, and realized the relationship between humanity and the way of heaven, and felt that his cultivation had improved a lot.
