"Oh, metaphysics is also science? This is really a novel proposition, since Little Brother Chen said that there is no cure for illness tonight, then we might as well listen to what the little brother has to say, it just so happens that everyone has been busy with my second brother's affairs recently, and he is not light, so he has the right to relieve his boredom at this time! ”

Tang Neng's eldest cousin originally wanted to refute a few words, but when he saw that the eldest brother of the Xie family had spoken, and his aunt did not object, he pressed the throat of the male duck that was about to come out, and stood in the pile of people with his arms in his arms, thinking: I see what ivory your dog can spit out from his mouth.

Chen Wang took the water handed over by Uncle Fang, moistened his throat, and said, "Before we talk about this, let me ask everyone, what is superstition?" What is science? ”

Before the words fell, a girl in her early twenties in the crowd preemptively said: "Metaphysics, theology, or the old concepts in the countryside, like what you said, should all belong to superstition, right?" As for science, it means that the opinions and academic results that scientists and scholars have studied or put forward should belong to science. ”

The girl looked around, saw that no one refuted, and continued: "Let's take Western medicine and Chinese medicine as an example, Western medicine, also known as modern medicine and clinical medicine, is the result of countless clinical experiments by scientists; First of all, the foundation of the theory of Chinese medicine has not been tested and repeatedly verified by various experiments, you see that there are modern hospitals everywhere outside, and Western medicine is basically dominant, and how much can Chinese medicine see? It's all pseudoscience, I don't know why some people still go to Chinese medicine, if you want to talk about superstition, I think these people are also superstitious. ”

After hearing this, Chen Wang did not refute him at the first time, but put away the calm and breezy look he had before, and said seriously: "I can't agree with your definition of science and superstition, I don't think there is a very obvious boundary between science and superstition. What science is, it is not true that whoever has a high status, who is famous, or who has a high degree of education. As Aristotle said, 'I love my teacher, I love the truth more', I think science, it is like a flashlight, and the history of human evolution and development, just like a person walking in the dark, science is the flashlight that people use to explore this unknown road, we will use the flashlight to illuminate the front for us in the exploration and progress, and occasionally look around, where the flashlight goes, we can see, I call it known, that is, what you call modern science, but the flashlight it can not shine on everything in front of it, it also has its own limitations, just like the Southern Song Dynasty Xie FangAs stated in the "Book with Li Yangwu", "manpower will eventually be poor, and the way of heaven will eventually be determined". After all, human exploration and cognition are limited, and there are many things in this world, which are either known or unknown, and I call it "everyone's unknown", everyone's experience and knowledge. All determine the scope of his known and unknown, so we can doubt the unknown, but do not deny it.

Wang Yangming's predecessors in the Ming Dynasty once put forward the concept of "unity of knowledge and action", and Deng Xianfeng also said that "practice is the only criterion for testing truth", and should not be easily denied without personal experience and contact. Therefore, the science in my cognition is to gain cognition and judgment through learning and exploration of unknown things, rather than using my own shallow insight and subjective assumptions as the criterion for judging, and the cognition and judgment obtained by the latter are superstition; Superstition and superstition, as the name suggests, are confused but blindly confident, which is the greatest sorrow. ”

At this time, the girl said, "Even if what you said above is correct, how can we explain the dispute between Chinese and Western medicine?" The popularization of Western medicine is already the trend of the times, if Chinese medicine is also a science, then why is it gradually declining? ”

Chen Wang paused and said, "Then let's go back to the dispute between Chinese and Western medicine you just mentioned." Dr. Mandelsson of the United States Medical Union once wrote a book "Confessions of a Medical Rebel", in which he strongly criticized and even attacked Western medicine, which Westerners are proud of, saying that hospitals are legal places to hurt and kill, and at least 1.5 million people die and are disabled every year because of the use of chemicals. If Western medicine is scientific, then why would the medical leaders of Western medicine say such things? When I first started studying Chinese medicine, I also felt why we Chinese opposed our own medicine. Later, I was reluctant and read a lot of materials and books, but I was also surprised to find a lot of things about Western medicine.

For example, antibiotics can be said to be the largest variety of Western medicine, and people think of it first when they are sick, and regard antibiotics as a panacea. However, even this so-called panacea has a big problem. If nothing else, let's just say that nearly 80% of the 20 million deaf people in China are related to the use of streptomycin and gentamicin. I once stumbled upon a material in which observations from the Fourth Military Medical University in Xi'an, our country, showed that among 1,590 hospitalized cancer patients, the incidence of infection was 9.25% in those who did not use or only one antibiotic. The proportion of those who had used more than two antibiotics was 36.12%, which was 4 times that of the former, that is, the more antibiotics were used, the higher the incidence of infection. Because of this, streptomycin and gentamicin are now gradually eliminated in our country. Unfortunately, they are still using other antibiotics.

Many people may say that medicine is constantly evolving, and so are medicines. Then I can tell you that the 'Belley Bean' for the treatment of pregnancy vomiting was developed by a Western medicine laboratory and declared a harmless scientific product, but soon, the terrible side effects produced thousands of deformed children! Now, 'Bellima Beans' is banned and the Japanese pharmaceutical company that produces this drug has gone bankrupt! Not only that, but Western medical science argues that taking steroids can cure Michael. Jackson's vitiligo, but subsequently, Western medicine scientifically said that taking steroids caused Michael's judgment to be severely weakened and he did something out of control. Similarly, Western medicine has also said that bisphosphonates are mainly due to the treatment of hypercalcemia, osteoporosis and bone pain, and not long after, the Food and Drug Administration of the United States monitored and announced that cancer patients treated with intravenous bisphosphonates will have symptoms of osteonecrosis of the jaw.

In China, there is a name for old Chinese medicine, but there has never been an old Western medicine, why? Because Chinese medicine only gets older and more valuable, this is an extremely difficult science to study, it is not only about curing diseases and saving people, but also about the truth of the universe! As for you asking me, why do so many Chinese study Western medicine, and why do we all use Western medicine in our country? Then let me tell you, in a country with more than a billion people and such a fast pace of life, Western medicine is undoubtedly more in line with the rhythm of people's lives.

If you think that Chinese medicine is not good, it is a big mistake, Chinese medicine has the shortcomings of Chinese medicine, precisely because it is too broad and profound, too difficult to study, the learning cycle is long, the treatment period is long, and the effect period is slow, so few people in modern society are willing to work hard to study this knowledge, and the Chinese medicine of Chinese medicine is composed of a lot of dispensing, a prescription is often as many as a dozen or even dozens of kinds of dispensing, any dispensing, one more money, one less money, are completely two effects, so the trace grasp, Only a lot of experience and exploration can make the use of medicine like a god.

Similarly, Western medicine also has its own shortcomings, and the shortcomings of Western medicine are that this is a science of tearing down the east wall and repairing the west wall, which will harm the health of other places while curing the patient, so entering a Western medicine hospital once is actually shortening the time for entering the hospital next time.

Traditional Chinese medicine is not, we pay attention to the homology of medicine and food, medicine is not as good as food, food is not as good as God, what we pay attention to is to strengthen the body, borrow the power of heaven and earth, borrow the spirit of all things, and use the ability of the human body itself to fight against the disease, so that people can go to the hospital less, or not enter the hospital! The so-called blocking is not as good as sparse, and treatment is not as good as prevention.

In the final analysis, Western medicine is a science that makes people sick, it can get you rid of the disease for a while, but it can't let you get rid of the disease for a lifetime, this science can make people walk into the hospital countless times, and be willingly slaughtered by the doctor, so it is popular, forming a huge industrial chain and interest groups, and has been supported by the government in power. The fundamental starting point of traditional Chinese medicine is to keep people away from doctors, away from hospitals, and hope that the world will be disease-free, so it is difficult for it to form a huge interest group and industrial chain, so many people hope that it will die, so that they can slaughter patients more conveniently!

Western medicine is like the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, where the mountains on the plateau are undulating, endless, majestic and magnificent, which can be described as the roof of the world and hold up a piece of sky; And traditional Chinese medicine is like Mount Everest, although the strength is weak, but it has reached the peak and reached the top for nine days!

Western medicine has to go through X-rays and various instruments to know what disease this person has in life, but Chinese medicine can know what disease this person has and how to treat it. Western medicine needs to open the human body to treat some diseases inside the human body, while Chinese medicine can treat the patient's diseases without opening the human body.

I don't want to say how good Chinese medicine is, nor how bad Western medicine is, I just want to tell you that nothing can simply look at the surface, but should be deeply understood in order to understand the whole picture, otherwise it can only be a blind man touching an elephant and deceiving himself.

Finally, I will go back to why metaphysics is also science. First, countless practical test results have shown the feasibility of metaphysics and its credibility, and there may be many liars in the name of metaphysics in society, but they cannot hide its essence as a high-dimensional science.

Second, in the "Blue Book of Religion" published by the Social Sciences Academic Press on August 1, 2011, there are two sentences about Taoism and the metaphysics and magic involved in Taoist culture: (1) As the only local religion in China, Taoism is the carrier of traditional Chinese culture, and Taoist magic is not witchcraft or superstition;

(2). Taoism will still have a great future in the future, and the value of Taoist (metaphysics) culture should be correctly understood. ”

After Chen Wang said this in one breath, he looked around, but no one stood up to refute it, everyone fell into deep contemplation, after this remark, everyone has a new understanding of Chen Wang, and at the same time, Chen Wang also opened a new door for his future life.

Now, everyone is looking forward to whether Chen Wang, who has become a blockbuster, can continue to surprise everyone tomorrow morning.

Chen Wang was also entertained by Uncle Fang and temporarily lived in the Xie family.

Tonight, it's been another long night.
