Chapter 10: The first glimpse of the doorway

In the 5,000 years of Chinese civilization, there is a quintessence of traditional Chinese medicine.

The benevolence of the doctor spreads the good name, and the sage comes out of the hanging pot of the world.

The next morning, I woke up from my sleep to find myself more and more restrained, and my eyes seemed to radiate a dazzling light.

Today is Sunday, it is the day to go to the auditorium of the Cultural Palace to listen to Cao TCM lecture on the theory of Chinese medicine, thinking that there is something to do, so I got up very early in the morning, I am now really interested in Chinese medicine from the bottom of my heart, after breakfast, I went out and rushed to the direction of the Cultural Palace.

When I walked into the auditorium of the Cultural Palace, I found that there were already a lot of people sitting here, and it seems that there are many Chinese medicine lovers like me in the city.

I casually found a place to sit down, and waited with everyone until about half past eight, and from the side of the podium in the auditorium, a middle-aged man with white hair, wearing a suit, and myopic glasses walked up slowly, and he looked to be in his fifties.

I saw him walk to the middle of the podium, hold a microphone in his hand, and start teaching everyone.

Dr. Cao first introduced the history of the development and evolution of traditional Chinese medicine, it turned out that the earliest traditional Chinese medicine was born in the 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, cloth qi, and Zhu You.

During the Western Han Dynasty, the five elements of yin and yang began to explain human physiology, and "medical workers", gold needles, copper keys, etc. appeared. In the Eastern Han Dynasty, the famous medical scientist Zhang Zhongjing appeared, who already had an understanding of the "Eight Guidelines", yin and yang, inside and outside, virtual and real, cold and heat, and summarized the "Eight Laws". Hua Tuo is known for his proficiency in surgery and anesthesia, and also founded the fitness gymnastics "Five Bird Opera".

In the Tang Dynasty, Sun Simiao summarized the theories of his predecessors and summed up his experience, collected more than 5,000 prescriptions, and used syndrome differentiation treatment, because of the highest medical ethics, he was respected as the "King of Medicine". After the Tang Dynasty, a large number of Chinese medical theories and works spread to Korea, Japan, Central Asia, West Asia and other places.

After the Jin Yuan, Chinese medicine began to decline. After the Ming and Qing dynasties, the warm disease school and the Shi Fang school appeared, which gradually replaced the Jing Fang school of traditional Chinese medicine.

Since the end of the Qing Dynasty, China has been invaded by Western powers, and at the same time, modern medicine, that is, Western medicine, has been influxed, which has seriously impacted the development of traditional Chinese medicine. There are many people in China who advocate the modernization of medicine, and traditional Chinese medicine has been greatly challenged. People began to use the thinking patterns of the Western medical system to examine it, and Chinese medicine was caught up in a debate about its existence and abolition.

At the same time, Dr. Cao said that it is precisely because of the combination of Chinese and Western medicine that it has accelerated the loneliness of Chinese medicine in China, because there are many things in ancient Chinese medicine that are not accepted by modern medicine, are not accepted by modern concepts, and are considered superstitious and untrustworthy, however, what people don't know is that it is those things that are considered to be dregs and dregs are the essence of Chinese medicine.

For example, the meridians of the human body are the channels that run qi and blood, connect the internal organs and the body surface, and can also connect various parts of the body.

The composition of the meridians includes the meridians and the meridians. The meridians include the 14 main meridians, the eight strange meridians, and other attached meridians, meridians, and skins. The meridians are branches that belong to the meridians, including the fifteen meridians, Sun Luo, and Fuluo.

The meridians can communicate inside and outside, and network the whole body, so that the human body can maintain coordination and unity. In addition, it can reflect the disease situation, when there is a problem in some parts, the meridians are not smooth, there will be corresponding symptoms, and the meridians also have the effect of resisting diseases.

Now in Western countries, the meridians have been detected through special means to be real, so this also proves that China's ancient Chinese medicine is scientific.

Everyone sitting below also sighed when they heard this, and I sat below, listening to Dr. Cao's introduction, while using the heavenly eyes to look at the meridians in my body and compare them with some of the veins that Dr. Cao said, and Dr. Cao went on to talk about the five elements of yin and yang in Chinese medicine.

I listened more carefully, and it turned out that Chinese medicine believed that the upper part of the human body is yang and the lower part is yin; The body surface is yang, and the body is yin; Yang on the back and yin on the chest; The outer side of the limbs is yang, and the inner side is yin; The skin is yang, and the muscles and bones are yin; The gallbladder, small intestine, stomach, large intestine, bladder, and three focal organs belong to yang, and the liver, heart, spleen, lungs, and kidneys belong to yin.

The health of the human body is determined by the harmony of yin and yang. If the yin and yang of the human body are in balance, the human body will be healthy.

In the human body, qi is yang and blood is yin. Traditional Chinese medicine and health care theories believe that qi is the handsome of blood, blood is the mother of qi, and qi can produce blood, carry blood, and take blood, and qi and blood are inseparable.

When the yin and yang of the human body are out of balance, it will show various discomforts and diseases, and the classification of symptoms by the ancients is also represented and explained by yin and yang. Yang syndrome, the general symptoms are: fever, thirst, etc., this kind of symptoms, the ancients also called heat syndrome. Yin syndrome, the general symptoms are: no fever, no thirst, cold hands and feet, slow pulse, etc., this kind of symptoms, the ancients also called cold syndrome. This is what the ancients said: if the yang wins, it will be hot, and if the yin wins, it will be cold.

In traditional Chinese medicine, the structure of the human body is divided into three parts: viscera, meridians, qi, blood, and fluids. They have different physiological functions in the human body, but they are closely related to each other. Among them, the viscera is the center of the human body's vital activities, and the blood is generated by the functional activities of the viscera, and it is also the material basis for the human body's physiological activities.

The relationship between the five elements of yin and yang in traditional Chinese medicine and the five organs of the human body, the stomach is the intestine of the spleen, and the spleen is the organ of the stomach. The dirty, hidden. The gut is also transformed. Masculine, feminine hidden. The collector hides what he has, and the collector hides what he hides. The human body is born with the yang energy of creation, and the yin energy of creation is born with dirt. The intestines are yang, and their colors are bright. The dirty is yin, and its color is dark. Yang and bright, so it can be transformed. It is dark and dark, so it can be hidden.

If the qi of the human body's liver and wood cannot be discharged, there will be no sweating, lack of urine, feces, abdominal pain, hypochondriac pain, and women's late menstruation.

The golden qi of the human body and lungs cannot be converged. Sweating, dizziness, fever, cough, breath, leakage, urine, weakness and other diseases. If the convergence is too much, there will be cold, dung, chest tightness, no sweating and other diseases.

If the fire of people's body and mind is not cleared, there will be blood paralysis, fatigue, light mouth, blood cold and other diseases. If you burn too much, you will have tongue pain, sore throat, heartbeat, upset and other diseases.

If the water qi of the human body and kidneys cannot be sealed, it will appear yangyue, dizziness, fever, foot swelling and other diseases. If it can't be sealed, the power of gold gas convergence will fail, and the wood gas will be too drained.

If the body's spleen and soil qi cannot be transported, the stomach will be full, stop eating, vomiting, diarrhea, limbs will not lift, and the whole body will be tired.

The breath of human fire is not burning. Now there is cold, kidney cold, spleen and stomach weakness, two stools and other diseases.

After Dr. Cao talked about the attributes of the five elements in the human body, he also talked about the theory of the five elements of mutual birth and mutual restraint, the five elements are born together: wood gives birth to fire, fire gives birth to earth, earth gives birth to gold, gold gives birth to water, and water gives birth to wood. The five elements are mutually restrictive: wood overcomes earth, earth overcomes water, water overcomes fire, fire overcomes gold, and gold overcomes wood. The relationship of mutual restraint is called the relationship of "winning" and "not winning". Among them, those who "overcome me" are "invincible", and those who "overcome me" are "victorious".

Dr. Cao also said that the five elements of the atmosphere are integrated and inseparable, and the same is true for the human body. The pathology of traditional Chinese medicine is just that the shaft does not rotate and the wheel does not rise. The medical theory of traditional Chinese medicine is only the rotation of the axis of movement, the lifting of the moving wheel, and the lifting of the moving wheel, and the rotation of the moving axis. The I Ching River Diagram so indicates that the innate and acquired physiological movements, pathological medicine, are all in the meantime.

When I heard this, I was completely impressed by the theory of Chinese medicine, and the Chinese medicine in my country is really broad and profound, and it has studied these things to such an extent.

When Dr. Cao was lecturing, I opened my Tianmu and observed Dr. Cao with my Tianmu, and found that Dr. Cao was not an ordinary person, there was a white qi in his body, which was circulating in his body, although it was not an energy substance, but it was much more clever than ordinary people.

In the process of this white qi running, I found that it can discharge some waste gas and black gas from the human body, so that the human body itself can reach a state of yin and yang balance, and the human body will naturally have no symptoms at this time, which is also very magical.

Half a day in the morning passed quickly, Dr. Cao looked at the time, regretfully said to everyone: "Because of the limited time, today I am very happy that you can come to listen to my lecture, our time is very short, but the knowledge of Chinese medicine is vast, I just spied some skin, if you have friends who are interested in Chinese medicine, have the ambition to study and discuss Chinese medicine with me, you can go to the door after the meeting, there is a registration office, you can register, At the registration desk, there is a specific class time, as well as an explanation of the relevant books and fees. ”

After the meeting, I followed the flow of people to the registration office, although there were many people who listened to the class, but there were not many people who actually signed up here, and I counted a total of more than a dozen people.

At the registration office, after I registered my name, I took the class timetable, and saw that the class time on it was Saturday and Sunday, and the location was actually our school's lecture hall, which is good, and the class is very convenient.

After looking at the cost, 20 yuan for 1 class, the cost of books is at my own expense, I told the person in charge of registration, and the next time I go to the class, I will pay the textbooks and the cost of the class together, and then I got up and left the Cultural Palace and got on the bus home.

After returning home from the Cultural Palace, I found that my mother was busy in the kitchen, and asked me what I talked about in today's TCM class while cooking, and I answered my mother's question with an excited face, and strongly expressed my interest in TCM.

In the end, after my repeated insistence, they finally agreed to my request to study Chinese medicine, but they also made it clear to me that they could not delay their studies, and I happily agreed.

I went back to my room and immersed my mind in cultivation once again, because I found the joy of cultivation that brought me. When I meditated, I saw the condition of my body inward, the bones and meridians of my body, the direction of blood flow in my body, the beating of my heart, and so on.

This ribbon-like flow of energy, looking bright, circulated continuously in the body along the second vein of Ren Du, forming a cycle of Zhou Tian. This cycle is sometimes forward and sometimes reversed, which is very mysterious. And this ribbon of energy has a tendency to gradually widen and brighten, which is very magical.

When I was meditating, my body had a feeling of lightness, as if it was about to take off, and my body seemed to be very comfortable as if it had no weight, and now I was reluctant to stop practicing, so I spent the whole afternoon in a state of cultivation.

When I woke up from my meditation state, I found that it was already evening, and when my mother called me to eat outside the house, when I came out of the house in good spirits, my mother noticed the difference in my overall spirit, and looked at me with some surprise: "What are you doing in your house these days?" Why hasn't there been any movement at all? And every time I see you, it seems like something is different, but I can't see the difference, it's really strange. ”

I laughed and said half-jokingly: "That's because your son and I are not an ordinary person, of course, every time you see me, it's different!" ”

After the meal, I uncharacteristically walked out of the door at night and walked around outside, because, in the past few days, I have discovered through cultivation that the moonlight at night will bring me some special feelings, and this feeling is that when I stand in the moonlight, the moonlight can speed up the running speed of my exercises.

I walked aimlessly on the street outside, looking up at the moonlight in the sky from time to time, feeling the fast-moving energy flow in my body, and I really had a feeling that I wanted to fly.

I walked to a park opposite the entrance of the community, the park is not large, but the park is full of green trees, and many tall trees are growing neatly in this park.

I leaned under a big tree and found that there was no one around, and I was a little distracted when I looked at the moonlight overhead, because, from my first day of high school, until now, I have experienced and encountered so many things, and many things are constantly impacting my brain and making my perception change unconsciously.

Just as I was thinking about it, a magical scene happened, I felt that my body was free of the constraints of the earth's gravity, and was slowly rising into the air, and I clearly felt that my feet had begun to leave the ground, and I was shocked and looked at my feet.

Sure enough, my feet were at least 20 centimeters above the ground! Now my whole body is suspended in mid-air, and this feeling makes me both wonderful and a little nervous.

I tried to fly higher again, and when my mind thought of flying up again, my body began to slowly float upwards again, and when I reached a height of two meters, I was a little scared inside, so I held on to the tree pole with both hands, trying to maintain my balance.

I tried to stop holding the tree pole with both hands, and found that my body could maintain a good balance, and I began to move my body in different directions, and found that as long as my brain thought of which direction to go, my body would automatically flutter in which direction, which was really amazing!

When I deliberately went up higher, the top of my head had reached the canopy of the tree, and my whole body was already more than three meters above the ground, and just when I was about to try to continue upward, I felt the sound of people talking not far away, and then I remembered Master's repeated instructions to me that functions should not be displayed in front of people at will, so my whole body had slowly fallen to the ground.

As soon as I landed, two young men and women came to the back of the tree, and they walked by laughing and laughing, and did not pay much attention to me, and I secretly shouted that I was glad that they would find out later in the evening, and that it would be difficult to explain to anyone.

In fact, the mood tonight is very pleasant, I actually have a new ability, this ability to take off the sky, this feeling is really strange and wonderful, people are always yearning to fly into the blue sky, now I already have this ability, this is something I can't even think of.

When I got home thinking about my thoughts, it was almost ten o'clock in the evening, and I went back to my room, lay down in bed, and soon fell asleep.

Somehow tonight, I had a lot of strange dreams, in short, my mind was chaotic, people's dreams were really strange, sometimes what I saw in my dreams was something that had not happened in reality, but when things really happened, it was exactly the same as what I dreamed in my dreams; Sometimes it feels like there is a place in a dream, such as that place, and when you wake up and go to the place in the dream, you will find that that special thing is there. So dreams are very difficult to explain.

The next day, the morning sun was very gentle, shining on people's faces and bodies to warm everyone's hearts, there were a lot of people traveling on the street, maybe people also had to go to work, and the students who saw our school were also rushing to the school.

I walked into this familiar and unfamiliar campus, where the senior seniors on duty maintained order at the school gate, and the principal and some other school leaders patrolled the door with several teachers behind their backs.

I came to my own class high one (3) class, the head teacher Zhuang Xiaohong teacher has been at the door of the class, I found that a large number of students in the class have arrived, due to the military training in the past few days of contact, everyone is familiar with each other, have said hello, because I am taller, Teacher Zhuang found a seat in the middle of the last row to arrange me to sit down.

The classroom was very bright, and the sunlight from the outside could reach the innermost desk, which made me feel a little dazzling. After a while, all the students in the class arrived, and Teacher Zhuang walked to the podium. Said gently: "Hello students, I once again introduce myself to you, my name is Zhuang Xiaohong, the next three years, will be me to accompany you to study together, I hope you will work hard to be admitted to a good university, live up to your youth!" After speaking, the classroom burst into applause......

Starting today, my high school life has officially begun! There are not many main classes in the morning, although my ears are listening to the class, but my mind has already flown out of the clouds, and I have listened to the class all morning, and I don't remember anything. In the afternoon, I continued to be in the morning, and I may have just started school and was a little uncomfortable.

After school at 6 o'clock in the evening, I walked to the entrance of the mall absentmindedly, and suddenly remembered that Dr. Cao from the pharmacy should be in the clinic to see the patient, it is still early, it is better to go to the pharmacy.

I made up my mind and soon came to the pharmacy, which was a little less crowded today than on that rainy day, but there were still a lot of people in Dr. Cao's office.

Dr. Cao looked at the patients seriously, I stood next to Dr. Cao and observed each patient with the eyes of heaven, and I found that as my cultivation deepened, the eyes of heaven saw objects more and more clearly, the meridians and bones of the human body were seen very clearly and clearly, and the lesions were also seen very accurately.

The meridians of the human body are really a magical big system, like a canopy-like network, densely criss-crossed, there are no blood vessels in the spurnics but there are veins, which are more complex than any precision instrument in the world.

Dr. Cao saw the last patient at this time, took off his glasses after prescribing the medicine, rubbed his eyes, turned his head to look at me, and said, "Young man, I have been paying attention to you for a long time, and you have been standing next to me since you entered the pharmacy, why are you interested in Chinese medicine?" ”

I nodded and said, "Yes, Dr. Cao, I listened to your class last Sunday and was attracted by the breadth and profundity of Chinese medicine, so I signed up to study Chinese medicine that day." ”

Doctor Cao heard this and said with interest: "Seeing that you are not very old, it is really rare to be interested in Chinese medicine, today you are here, we are also fate, so I will send you a few pages of "Soup Song", you will memorize it first after you go back, and I will see if you are studying this material of Chinese medicine." ”

As he spoke, Dr. Cao handed me a few pages in the drawer, and I took it and looked at it, and there were many items listed on it, such as the tonic agent, the publication agent, the attack agent, the reconciliation agent, and so on. I flipped through the pages and looked at the contents, and they were all songs of unknown drug names.

I looked at Dr. Cao with a blank face, Dr. Cao just smiled indifferently and said: "If you want to learn Chinese medicine, you have to memorize the soup recipe first, and then you have to memorize the Compendium of Materia Medica, Typhoid Fever and Miscellaneous Diseases and other works, Chinese medicine is not like the current Western medicine to the medical school to learn a 3 or 5 years can be apprenticed, Chinese medicine needs the accumulation of knowledge and experience in medicine, learning Chinese medicine is also very boring, but also to be able to endure loneliness, if you want to become a good Chinese medicine, you should keep your own virtues." ”

I listened carefully on the side, looking at the pages in my hand, the momentum in my heart that did not admit defeat came up again, and said to Dr. Cao: "Dr. Cao, I know that it is difficult to learn Chinese medicine, but I am just interested in Chinese medicine, I will not give up easily, I will definitely be able to memorize the soup songs." "So ambitious, I'm optimistic about you! Go for it! Dr. Cao said with a smile on his face.

With a few pages of paper given to me by Dr. Cao, I walked out of the mall, and when I returned home, it was already past eight o'clock in the evening. After briefly reporting the day's study to my parents, I went back to my room and took out the pages that Dr. Cao had given me and flipped through them.

I saw that the first page was written with a soup song, which is three very simple words, but how these three words suddenly gave me a sense of déjà vu, continue to read, the following three words are its basic introduction, the content is: this soup song is a medical prescription work, the composition of the commonly prescribed drugs for the treatment of diseases and the main function of the compilation into a song, this song was written in 1694, the song is selected and recorded more than 300 prescriptions of traditional Chinese medicine, respectively, 20 categories such as tonic, publication, attack, vomiting, etc., this is the hard work of the predecessors of Chinese medicine, and it needs to be made into a bamboo in the chest, in order to apply freely.

The back is the content of the soup decision, which reads: The four gentlemen are righteous in the soup. Ginseng poria cocos licorice ratio. Yi Xia Chen is known as the Six Gentlemen. Phlegm replenishes qi and yang deficiency bait. In addition to the banxia fame. Or add fragrant sand stomach cold. …… Areca nut and Hu powder paste pills. The insects of the stomach and intestines will never be breathless.

At the end, I felt dizzy in my head, and I had no clue where to start with these pages in my hand. There's no good way, I can only read through it over and over again, let's start with the tonic class, and I memorized it for more than two hours, and I was really dizzy and didn't remember much.

I looked at the clock on the table, it was almost 10 o'clock in the evening, and I thought to myself, I won't memorize it tonight, so I will rest first. There are a lot of Chinese medicine names in it, I don't know what they are, so I'll go to the pharmacy tomorrow and ask Dr. Cao if there is a good way to speed up my memory.

Stretching my waist and lying on the bed, I had an idea, and thought, why don't I use my eyes to see who made this soup song, so as to speed up my memory. Thinking of this, I sat up from the bed and immediately crossed my legs into a state of meditation, I concentrated my mental strength, and after a while, a picture appeared in front of me.

This is Xiuning County, Anhui Province in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties, in a dilapidated dilapidated cold kiln, there lived a Xiucai named Wang Ang, because he participated in the imperial examination of the Ming Dynasty repeatedly failed, after the fall of the Ming Dynasty, began to dislike the imperial examination system, and sighed the rise and fall of the Ming Dynasty, resolutely abandoned Confucianism to practice medicine, after 30 years of exploration and research, eventually became a generation of famous artists, "Tang Song Duel" is just one of his works.

When I saw this, I sighed at Wang Ang's perseverance, which is really a late bloomer. Then I looked at it and was surprised to find that Wang Ang is now Dr. Cao in the pharmacy, which... This is... It's really Dr. Cao, it seems that Dr. Cao's medical skills are so superb, it has something to do with his past life.

When I wanted to continue to push Wang Ang in my previous life with the eye of heaven, I couldn't see clearly in front of me, and I knew that it might have something to do with my skills, and I couldn't push too far.

I withdrew my gaze, my consciousness returned to reality, and I lay down on the bed and relaxed.

I sat on the bed and thought back to some of the contents of Chinese medicine that Dr. Cao talked about, and when he talked about some of the meridians in the human body, I didn't expect that it was exactly the same as what I saw, the human body is like a big circulatory system, and it also has its own duties and division of labor, so until now, the mystery of the human body has not been solved by modern people.
