Omniscient and Almighty

Chapter 124

Speaking of existence in name but death in name, and the introduction of traditional Chinese medicine to the West, Mr. Zhang looked calm and natural, as if he was talking about a very ordinary after-dinner affair.

So much so that Xu Guangling forgot about the vermicelli for a while, or put it aside for the time being, but couldn't help asking: "Teacher, when you mentioned this, it seems that you didn't..."

and nothing?

Emotions like depression, anger, sadness, etc.

Mr. Zhang smiled, and then said quite meaningfully: "Zhuoyan, if you understand Chinese history, you only need to understand a little bit, and you will know that for too many things, the ups and downs are really normal. One of the things, "Wu Palace flowers and plants are buried in the quiet path, and the clothes of the Jin Dynasty are turned into ancient hills", it is not just about architecture."

"The westward expansion of traditional Chinese medicine, in any case, is a good thing for Chinese medicine itself. Although in the future, after its great prosperity, it may not be called 'Chinese medicine'. In the future, whether it obtains its own independent status or is merged Incorporating it into the modern Western medical system, there are only advantages and no disadvantages for Chinese medicine itself, and there are also only advantages and no disadvantages for the public.”

"As for the situation of Chinese medicine in China," Mr. Zhang paused for a moment, and then asked Xu Guangling, "I mean, there was a man named Weng Ge in the Qing Dynasty who wrote a poem called "Twilight Spring". Have you read it?"

"Don't complain that spring returns early, and the flowers are still red. If you keep the roots, there will be spring wind every year." Xu Guangling read slowly, and then said: "Teacher, is this the one you are talking about?"

Zhang Lao nodded, and then said: "The root of staying in general is there, and every year there is a wind. This is my attitude towards Chinese medicine."

"Back then, when the country vigorously promoted Chinese medicine, I was happy to see the results from an emotional point of view, but from a rational point of view, based on my understanding of Chinese medicine, I was not optimistic. In fact, it is a position of sitting on the sidelines, and the public's recognition of Chinese medicine is also declining year by year, but my attitude is not pessimistic."

"Chinese medicine is actually a very special thing." When Mr. Zhang said this, his expression was very strange, and it contained some emotions that Xu Guangling could not understand. Talk about experience, and least of all experience.”

"Let's take high blood pressure as an example. For example, in the study of high blood pressure drugs, under the modern Western medical system, how do you know which drugs are effective and not effective for high blood pressure? The answer is, I don't know, the only way is to try. I tried this one, oh, it didn’t work, and I changed it to another, just like Edison experimented with the filament of an incandescent lamp, trying one material after another.”

"So Americans' research in this area is catching the blind. The research situation and research progress are not much better than finding a needle in a haystack."

"However, the research in Japan is different. For the relevant researchers in Japan, which drug may be effective for high blood pressure and which drug may not be effective, they basically know the number before the test, and the difference will not be too big. In other words, they It is possible to preliminarily screen out the medicinal materials that may be effective for high blood pressure from the vast sea of ​​medicinal materials, and then conduct experiments and research on the selected medicinal materials."

"The result of this is that its research progress is more than ten times faster than that of the West."

"Of course, under global integration, no country can really perform any research more than ten times faster than other countries." Zhang Lao said again, talking about "global integration" The expression and tone of these words are quite intriguing.

After a pause, the old man said again: "Why can Japan do this but the United States can't? It's because Japan can use Chinese medicine as its body and Western medicine as its application, but the United States can't. Although the United States has been studying Chinese medicine in recent years, but because of the cultural core And the way of thinking is different, or very different, and their research results are extremely limited. At this point, the future will still depend on Chinese-American personnel, and generally speaking, this will not happen overnight.”

"At present in China, there is still progress in the research of traditional Chinese medicine or Chinese patent medicine. As for the theory of traditional Chinese medicine itself, let alone research, let alone progress, it is impossible to even inherit it."

"The fact is that the theory of Chinese medicine is the root of Chinese medicine."

"but!"

Speaking of this, Zhang Lao's expression was so dignified that it was almost solemn, "The theory of Chinese medicine is like a castle in the air, and to most people, it is also a mirage."

Xu Guangling was puzzled.

"Teacher, what do you mean?" Xu Guangling would not think that castles in the air are fake or something, not to mention that his teacher himself is "the number one miracle doctor in a thousand years", although this was only said by Zhang Lao himself, and when he said it It wasn't very serious, but Xu Guangling didn't doubt it.

These days, the lessons that Mr. Zhang taught him every night have already made him admire his teacher so much that he can no longer admire him. It is true that every day, his admiration increases by a few points, until now, It is almost impossible to increase.

Based on the lecture records of these days, Xu Guangling felt that he could write a book of "On the Causes and Symptoms of Diseases", and it was by no means a superficial and general talk, but Mr. Zhang told him the day before yesterday that these were just "common sense".

In other words, for his teacher, the things taught to him are only equivalent to the "preschool" content in the national education system.

What's After Preschool?It is primary school, junior high school, high school, university, and then there are graduate students, and graduate students are also divided into several levels.Then, is it the peak for graduate students? --no.

Graduate students to the top, that is the beginning of real research.

Therefore, when Xu Guangling knew that what he was listening to these days was only "common sense", the shock in his heart was really hard to describe in any words.

The only thing I can say is that his teacher is so strong that he is a bit inhuman.

Mirages also have entities.

The castle in the air, if it is not fake, then it is most likely to jump into the air to get in touch with the castle?

Xu Guangling thought so.

And the next moment, Zhang Lao said, confirming his cranky thinking, "Zhuoyan, if I told you a few days ago that your palms can breathe, what would your attitude be?"

"I don't dare to deny it, but I can't be sure." Xu Guangling said after thinking about it.

I dare not deny it, because the teacher's knowledge is as profound as the sea, and even though what he said is unimaginable, there must be a reason for it.I can't be sure, because this thing is too unbelievable, and the facts obviously don't match it.So on the whole, Xu Guangling held a skeptical attitude.

"What about now?" Zhang Lao said again.

Xu Guangling was thoughtful.

"Zhuoyan, you are now walking up the steps step by step, on the way to the 'castle in the air'." Zhang Lao looked at Xu Guangling and said like this.

When he heard this, Mr. Chen, who had been watching from the sidelines all this time, couldn't help it: "He's not walking up step by step, he's just flying there with his wings, okay?"
