Live Huaxia: Opening dialogue with an emperor through the ages

He hopes that not only himself, but more people will pay attention to Chinese medicine in the future instead of denying it at the first time.

The two walked through one greenhouse after another where medicinal herbs were cultivated, and they couldn't help talking about Li Shizhen and his "Compendium of Materia Medica".

In this regard, Professor Sun Rui also said with a smile.

"Actually, when I was young, I read "Compendium of Materia Medica", and felt that some of the records in it were quite absurd."

"But later, after studying Chinese medicine systematically, I suddenly realized that the development of ancient Chinese medicine is like Shennong tasting hundreds of herbs. It requires countless accumulated experiences. Li Shizhen just provided a way of thinking for people's reference, not a standard answer. "

"Also, it took Li Shizhen 30 years to write this book and 40 years to revise it, a total of [-] years. He himself knew that there would be some fallacies due to the limitations of the times and personal limitations, so he encouraged future generations, the world's medical books, and people all over the world to study it together."

The world's medical books, all people in the world work together!
Such kind words really make people sigh.

Gao Yang at the side also said leisurely after hearing this.

"Inheriting the essence of the predecessors, discarding the dross, practicing it personally, and being fearless. This kind of spirit is really worth admiring and learning from us younger generations."

at the same time.

On the Internet, at this time, because Gao Yang is about to talk to Li Shizhen next time, it has also aroused widespread attention and discussion.

In particular, the topic of Chinese medicine has dominated the hot search list.

Among them, some people are discussing the abolition and establishment of Chinese medicine, some are more concerned about the inheritance of Chinese medicine, and some are studying the gains and losses of the book "Compendium of Materia Medica".

"Hey, I always hear people talking about the combination of Chinese and Western medicine. I just want to say that Western medicine treats the symptoms, Chinese medicine treats the root cause, and the combination of Chinese and Western medicine cures the symptoms!!!"

"Indeed, each has its strengths and weaknesses. They are not born as a family. Why force them to join together? Instead, they will fall into the bottom line."

"Actually, people often say that Chinese medicine is almost synonymous with healing the body because of its slow effect. I just want to say that in some fields, as long as the right prescription and method are selected, Chinese medicine can be ten times faster than Western medicine!"

"This is necessary, just like the bone-setting old Chinese medicine doctor I once met, that guy is called a god, and the old problems of others for decades can be cured by gently breaking and twisting. It may take a lot of work. For surgery, I don’t know how much it costs to use steel needles for difficult and miscellaneous diseases. In the end, I only charged a few hundred yuan.”

"It's a pity. Since ancient times, there have been very few systematic classics in traditional Chinese medicine. They are often passed down from master to student. Once there are no successors, the precious prescriptions and medical skills will be completely lost."

"Speaking of this, I get angry when I think about it. The Kimchi Kingdom plagiarized our medical classics and even succeeded in applying for World Heritage, and the crucible is still clamoring that ten years later, let us learn Chinese medicine from them. They are cultural robbers!"

"There is no way. Chinese medicine requires decades of study and practice. If you don't have enough understanding, you may not be able to learn it until you are old. Western medicine is different. You may be the director and deputy director after studying for more than ten years, so who wants to spend a lifetime learning A Chinese medicine doctor who can’t see the light of day! Therefore, Chinese medicine is gradually lost and declined, and there are many liars, and the medicinal materials are no longer good..."

The lights in the sky fell, and the street lights on the ground turned on.

As night fell, Gao Yang also walked out of the gate of Jinling Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine, ending this special visit and embarking on his way home.

Communicating with Professor Sun Rui allowed him to understand more comprehensively the various problems faced by the development of Chinese medicine, which really touched him a lot. Perhaps in the entire Chinese culture, the choices faced by Chinese medicine are also the epitome of the test that the entire Han culture needs to face .

The fate of Chinese medicine may not lie in its long history.

Nor does it lie in its splendid culture, nor does it lie in how much it has contributed to the reproduction of Chinese people.

It lies in the curative effect, and lies in the doctor who creates the curative effect.

Perhaps only those brave retrogrades in the era of raging diseases can create a new glory of Chinese medicine.

At this time, he was walking quickly into the airport, but there was a creepy siren sound in his ears, but he couldn't help but raise his spirits.

buzz one by one
There seems to be thousands of cries, screams, and screams in the long tune...

At this moment, many people around stopped and subconsciously looked towards the sky.

At this time, Gao Yang couldn't help remembering.

Today is December NO.13. For Jinling and Huaxia, this is destined to be a heavy day.

Perhaps, Jinling tonight should be very congested. After all, there are 30 people who want to go home.

The wandering angel returns, and the soul returns.

The angelica of the wanderer, and the angelica of the wandering soul.

at this time.

After bidding farewell to Jinling City, Gao Yang has already developed a strong interest in Chinese medicine.

He will choose Li Shizhen as the No. 14 dialogue sage, and he naturally has his own unique understanding.

Li Shizhen, as an ancient sage, is also known as the sage of medicine.

Although not the pioneer of Chinese medicine theory.

But as a successor, as a pioneer, Li Shizhen has undoubtedly achieved the ultimate.

He gave up a life of luxury and good food, gave up the courtesy of the emperor's family, and only insisted on one career all his life. Even if he is compared to Shennong who tasted all kinds of herbs, it is understandable.

Relying on the will of "the heart is as hard as a rock, and the body is like a ship against the "[-]"".

Li Shizhen visited all directions and tasted hundreds of medicines. It took nearly 30 years to complete "Compendium of Materia Medica", a masterpiece of more than 190 million words.

To know.

At that time, there were more than 190 million characters, which was different from today.

Today, with mobile phones and keyboards, anyone can type more than 190 million characters.

Available in the Ming Dynasty.

These 190 million words are full of blood and tears, and every word represents the hardships under one's feet.

pity.

He was unable to see the publication of "Compendium of Materia Medica" until his death, which became a regret in his life.

There are always regrets in life.

In history, any great and noble cause is accompanied by regrets.

If it had a perfect ending, it wouldn't be called a great cause.

There was such a sentence in "The Legend of Wukong".

"This world, I have been here, I have fought, I have loved deeply, and I don't care about the ending."

Just like Li Shizhen's firm belief throughout his life.

The meaning of life is not how much you get, but what you leave for this world.

What Li Shizhen left behind is "Compendium of Materia Medica", his way, his persistence, his belief, and his unswerving quality.

Maybe.

In today's view.

This "Compendium of Materia Medica" is full of loopholes.

even.

A student who has studied the theory of Chinese medicine once said such a sentence.

""Compendium of Materia Medica" is full of ignorance and ignorance. If it is a masterpiece, it can be read, but as a pharmaceutical theory, I advise everyone to give it up."

As soon as the words came out.

Immediately attracted countless people's controversy.

Some people claim that what he said is correct. In "Compendium of Materia Medica", one-third of the theories about traditional Chinese medicine and medicinal materials are slightly biased, and some folk remedies are even mixed in, and even imaginary anecdotes.

To describe.

It is the heart-wrenching work of a generation of famous doctors.

but.

As a person, it is naturally impossible to taste all the herbs in the world.

Li Shizhen is naturally just a person, a doctor who visits all directions and benefits all living beings.

He can taste medicine, he can use medical principles to cure diseases, and naturally he can also leave the stories of the footprints of famous mountains and rivers he visited in his life in books.

Now, look at it from the perspective of the present.

"Compendium of Materia Medica" brings the value of national honor, and the truth contained in it has far exceeded its value in traditional Chinese medicine.

For such an argument, Gao Yang could only laugh dumbfounded.

No one is perfect.

What's more, in the Ming Dynasty, that old man who was over fifty years old and had gray hair who practiced medicine?
As a representative of Chinese medicine, his symbolic significance is no worse than that of any emperor.

As the No.14 protagonist, Gao Yang felt sorry for Li Shizhen's situation in his later years...

Ming Wuzong Zhengde 13 years.

Li Shizhen was born in Qichun County, Hubei Province.

legend.

That day, Father Li was fishing in Yuhu Lake, thinking he could catch a few more fish to nourish his pregnant wife, but in the end he hit a big rock.

Father Li looked at the big rock in front of him and couldn't help sighing, feeling that he was being played by it.

But Stone suddenly spoke.

"Stones, stones, big stones, don't worry when you come to congratulate me, sir, my wife is about to fall to the moon, what do you want, sir?"

original.

This stone was the God of Rain Lake. Father Li hurried home when he heard the news and saw the child was born, so he named him Li Shizhen, and later changed his name to Li Shizhen.

The Li family is the heirloom of Xinglin. Li Shizhen's grandfather was a doctor in Qichun County, and his father was admitted to the imperial hospital and served as an official.

But in Li Shizhen's generation, Li's father didn't want him to study medicine.

"Everything is inferior, but reading is superior."

Father Li is used to seeing the high and low in the officialdom, and understands the official rank above the court.

Medicine has always been regarded as miscellaneous, and it cannot be considered elegant.

If you want to get ahead, you still have to rely on 5.2 Four Books and Five Classics.

Li Shizhen is very obedient. He has only read sage books since he was a child, and he has memorized the Four Books and Five Classics fluently. At the age of 14, he was already a high school scholar.

however.

At the age of 17, he rushed to Wuchang to take part in the provincial examination, but failed, and then failed twice in succession.

Although Li Shizhen was not discouraged, she contracted an extremely difficult-to-treat lung disease, and survived several twists and turns.

He was just recovering from a serious illness, as if he had made up his mind.

He found his father and said: "I don't take the exam anymore, I want to study medicine!
Father Li wanted to persuade him again, but seeing his thinning body and firm gaze, he finally chose to agree.
