Chinese medicine: from rural hospitals to top three hospitals in Kyoto

"It means that the melon is ripe and falls off the vine."

Chen Yang explained to Qin Dongliang: "Although it is summer vacation now, it is already the beginning of autumn. Autumn is the season when the leaves of the sycamore trees fall and the seeds of the sycamore trees ripen."

"When melons ripen and their stems fall off, when tung seeds ripen and their leaves fall off, tung leaves are added to the prescription to draw on their qi and guide the other medicines to the affected area."

This is actually the most special and magical thing about traditional Chinese medicine.

Many people know that there is a saying in traditional Chinese medicine that "like cures like". In fact, this saying is inaccurate. The correct saying should be "nature cures nature".

This nature refers to the bias of the medicine, which refers to the four properties and five flavors. If we change the idea of ​​replenishing the shape with like to replenishing the nature with nature, it is actually very easy to understand.

The reason why there is the saying "like cures like" is because the nature and shape of many medicinal materials are similar. Some medicinal materials resemble something and do have certain properties, so there is also the saying "like cures like".

To cure form with like is actually a bit abstract, but to cure nature with nature is more accurate.

For example, Chinese medicine says that some black things can nourish the kidneys. The kidney belongs to water, and water is black, so things like mulberries can nourish the kidneys.

However, some people will use modern scientific methods to extract ingredients, and finally publish papers saying that the content of something in a certain medicinal material is actually not much, and is not as good as something else.

What is important in Chinese medicine is the nature of the medicine, not the content. If one uses the content as an example to explain Chinese medicine and study Chinese medicinal materials, that would be completely the opposite of the point.

Here we need to use floating wheat as an example. If we analyze it based on ingredients, there is no difference between the ingredients of floating wheat and wheat, but normal wheat does not have the characteristics of floating wheat.

Floating wheat is the dried, light, shriveled fruit of wheat. It is named because of its light weight and ability to float on the water. Therefore, floating wheat has the effects of invigorating qi, removing heat and stopping sweat.

Moreover, the use of Chinese medicine also pays attention to the changes of seasons. The usage of some medicines is different in different seasons.

In spring, everything comes back to life and the wood energy grows, while in autumn, the fruits ripen and the wood energy withers. People who often use herbal shampoos can actually notice that it is the same shampoo and there is no problem in spring and summer, but in autumn, there is a lot of dandruff.

This is because the wood energy is bleak in autumn. The leaves turn yellow and fall off. Using herbal shampoos will naturally increase dandruff, which is caused by sex.

“People of the same blood seek each other!”

Qin Dongliang pondered for a moment and said, "Xiao Chen, you are good at using the idea of ​​people of the same kind seeking each other."

Although Qin Dongliang's level is not as good as Chen Yang's, it is not low either. If he must be ranked, Qin Dongliang's level would definitely be in the top 200 or 300 of the famous doctors list.

But don’t underestimate these top two or three hundred. When you reach a certain level, a tiny difference may mean a big difference in the rankings, just like a one-point difference can result in a difference of more than ten places in the ranking.

The list of famous doctors only shows the top 100, but the level of some people after the 100th place is not necessarily much worse than that of some people at the bottom of the list.

"I've only read some medical records." Chen Yang said modestly.

Chen Yang has extracted quite a few skill books, and all of these skill books are in Chen Yang's mind, which means that Chen Yang is digesting these skill books all the time. In addition to the experience gained during normal diagnosis, the digestion of these skill books also allows Chen Yang's level to improve all the time.

The use of sycamore leaves as a medicine guide was something Chen Yang had seen in ancient medical records.

"Now I understand why you are so arrogant."

Qin Dongliang said with a smile.

Before, Qin Dongliang had only heard some things about Chen Yang, but today he saw it for himself. Chen Yang's level was indeed very high. He had not even thought of this medicinal lead.

Although Qin Dongliang is not sure whether the medicine will be effective without the guide, the current situation is that the woman is about to give birth. In this case, the sooner the medicine takes effect, the better. Even if the prescription is suitable for the disease, it will be effective faster with the guide.

Chen Yang used sycamore leaves as a medicine guide. As like attracts like, the effect would definitely be better than simply using medicine.

The functions of medicine in traditional Chinese medicine mainly include guiding the medicine to the meridians, enhancing the efficacy, detoxifying, correcting the taste, protecting the internal organs, and psychological suggestion. The sycamore leaves used by Chen Yang can achieve the effect of guiding the medicine to the meridians and enhancing the efficacy.

Wu Mengmeng got the medicine and waited for about ten minutes before she received a call from Gao Yingchu. The Provincial Medical University was not too far from the affiliated hospital. Gao Yingchu knew that Chen Yang's matter was urgent and did not dare to delay.

Seeing the sycamore leaves sent by Gao Yingchu, Wu Mengmeng opened her mouth subconsciously. Chen Yang even asked someone to deliver three sycamore leaves.

Gao Yingchu specially brought it over, and Wu Mengmeng did not dare to delay and hurriedly boiled the medicine and sent it over.

After the mother drank the medicine, it took effect soon and she gave birth to a baby boy smoothly. Both mother and child are safe.

This scene surprised Zhang Ying.

The main reason is that the effect is so good that it only takes five or six minutes for the mother to feel better after taking the medicine.

You know, before Chen Yang came, Zhang Ying had been delivering babies for a long time. Because of the special situation of the mother, Zhang Ying once thought that this time would be quite difficult. Unexpectedly, after Chen Yang came, the problem was solved so easily.

"Director Qin, a capable person has arrived in your department."

Walking out of the delivery room, Zhang Ying couldn't help but say to Qin Dongliang.

"Haha."

Qin Dongliang laughed: "Xiao Chen is the talent I specifically asked Professor Wu to bring here."

"At such a young age, I didn't expect him to be so skilled."

Zhang Ying recalled that she had underestimated Chen Yang at first. She didn't expect that although Chen Yang was young, he had such amazing skills.

Chen Yang followed beside him without saying a word.

"Xiao Chen, if there are any difficult diseases in our department in the future, I will come to you." Zhang Ying said to Chen Yang with a smile.

"As long as I can help, I will do my best." Chen Yang said to Zhang Ying with a smile.

As they were talking, Chen Yang, Qin Dongliang and Wu Mengmeng left the delivery room together. Wu Mengmeng, who was following beside them, was still a little dazed at the moment.

No wonder Chen Yang is so confident, it turns out he is really capable.

Such a tricky situation was not difficult for Chen Yang. It is true that those who cannot do it will find it easy, but those who can will find it easy.

"Brother Chen."

Gao Yingchu was waiting at the door of the delivery room. When she saw Chen Yang coming out, she smiled and greeted him. Then she couldn't wait to ask, "What's going on? Why do you need to use sycamore leaves? They are not considered medicinal herbs."

"Director Qin is still here, there are no rules." Chen Yang said with a smile.

Gao Yingchu quickly stuck out her tongue and said to Qin Dongliang with a smile, "Hello, Director Qin."

"Gao Yingchu is Professor Wu's graduate student, studying pharmacy." Chen Yang introduced him to Qin Dongliang.

"So it turns out to be another student of Professor Wu."

Qin Dongliang smiled and said, "Not bad, not bad. Xiao Gao, are you interested in coming to our hospital after you graduate? I can help introduce you."

"Thank you, Director Qin." Gao Yingchu hurriedly thanked him.

Gao Yingchu, the student, cannot be compared with Chen Yang, the apprentice. After graduating from graduate school, it was really not easy for Gao Yingchu to find a job. She was really happy to hear Qin Dongliang's words.
