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

"If you observe this type of children carefully, you will find that they are often very active, with red tongue tips, which looks like fire rising. What does this mean? It means that the children rarely drink water."

"Generally speaking, when children first go to kindergarten, they drink significantly less water than when they are at home."

Chen Yang said: "On the one hand, few children ask for water on their own initiative. It is often the parents who ask and feed them on their own initiative. After they go to kindergarten, teachers rarely ask on their own initiative. There is a unified time for drinking water."

"Secondly, the children will ask for water in front of their parents, but they will be timid in front of their teachers. Not only will they drink less water, but they will also not ask for water if they are not full. This leads to many children not being able to drink much water in a day after entering kindergarten, and getting angry is a very common situation..."

"This is what the Yellow Emperor's Classic of Internal Medicine says: all diseases and premature death are caused by eating and drinking..."

"The few words in the Yellow Emperor's Classic of Internal Medicine are actually very important health-preserving secrets, just like having a regular routine..."

Chen Yang analyzed and explained some contents in "Huangdi Neijing" in detail. In fact, many things in it are not very profound, but "Huangdi Neijing" contains medical knowledge. Understanding and enlightenment are two completely different concepts.

For example, reciting the Yellow Emperor's Classic of Internal Medicine backwards may seem useless on the surface, but in fact, when you can recite a book proficiently, even backwards, how much do you understand about its content?

Reading a book a hundred times will make its meaning clear. Many veteran Chinese medicine practitioners read some classic medical books over and over again, and they gain new insights every time.

As he spoke, Chen Yang pointed and said, "Please stand up, fellow student."

The three people looked at each other in the direction Chen Yang pointed, and they were not sure who Chen Yang was referring to.

"The junior student in white in the middle." Chen Yang said with a smile.

The middle-aged classmate stood up, a little confused as to why Chen Yang suddenly called him.

"Junior, have you been feeling anxious, insomniac, and having indigestion recently?" Chen Yang asked with a smile.

"what......"

The male student was stunned for a moment, with a look of surprise on his face: "Yes..."

The main thing was that the male classmate didn’t expect that even though he was so far away from Chen Yang, Chen Yang could actually see his problem at a glance.

Although the boy was sitting in the third row, in a tiered classroom, the third row was some distance away from the podium.

Chen Yang looked at the other party, pondered for a moment and said: "If I'm not mistaken, is the anxiety caused by money? You spend all your living expenses at the beginning of each month, and then you start to feel anxious in the days that follow?"

Male classmate: “….”

"Wozhi, can you see this?"

Seeing the boy's performance, everyone could naturally guess that Chen Yang was right. The two people next to him were the boy's roommates, and they were even more stunned.

The students in the front row were actually there since the previous class, but they didn’t move after the associate professor finished his lecture.

"Please take a seat, junior."

Chen Yang smiled and said, "According to the theory of Huangdi Neijing, the heart governs the mind, and when one is emotionally upset, it affects the mind. In addition, the functioning of the spleen and stomach is also related to emotions. From the perspective of the five elements, the heart belongs to fire, and the spleen and stomach belong to earth. When fire does not generate earth, there will be problems with the spleen and stomach."

"According to the principle of 'seeking the root cause of the disease', we can apply the method of emotional victory in the Yellow Emperor's Classic of Internal Medicine. The Yellow Emperor's Classic of Internal Medicine talks about 'joy overcoming sorrow'. You can participate in more pleasurable activities, such as watching comedies, gathering with friends, etc. to improve your emotional state."

"At the same time, according to the concept of 'five grains for nourishment', the diet structure should be adjusted. Junior students can eat more spleen-strengthening foods, such as yam and coix seed. In terms of work and rest, follow the health-preserving concept of 'sleeping at night and getting up early, and not being tired of the day' to restore the body's qi and blood circulation to normal and gradually reduce anxiety..."

Chen Yang paused and said, "Of course, the most important thing is to know how to plan in the future, not to spend more than you need, and to avoid anxiety. Otherwise, in the long run, you will have to live up to the comments in the Yellow Emperor's Classic of Internal Medicine."

"Of course, I guessed that you spent more than your living expenses, because judging from your complexion, you probably don't have a girlfriend yet. It doesn't seem like it's because of relationship problems, nor does it seem to be because of schoolwork. When I was in school, there were always friends around me who spent more than their living expenses. After that, they were always anxious and didn't know how to get through it."

Male classmate: “….”

It is said that there are no secrets in front of traditional Chinese medicine. The male student now felt that he had suffered an unexpected disaster. Was it just because he sat close to the front?

Chen Yang spilled all his secrets.

"We are all studying Chinese medicine, so we must first take good care of ourselves."

Chen Yang paused and said, "Generally speaking, if you see a Chinese medicine doctor who is bald, his level is generally not very good. You can do some research. Many Western medicine experts suffer from hair loss, but famous old Chinese medicine doctors, no matter what age, have very thick hair."

"I......"

Wen Haoping opened his mouth and said, "Chen Yang, you are so bold to say that."

Outside the classroom, several bald professors subconsciously touched their heads, with resentment on their faces. Do they have to be talked about even for listening to a class?

What's wrong with being bald? Should bald people be despised?

"This senior, the one who is coughing..."

Chen Yang glanced down and pointed at a graduate student who was coughing. Judging from his age, the other person should be one or two years older than Zeng Yunhui.

The students next to him all looked at the boy who was coughing. The boy touched his nose and stood up.

"Senior has been coughing for a while, right?"

Chen Yang looked at the other person and said, "Repeated cough with little phlegm?"

"Yeah." The other party nodded.

There was another uproar in the classroom. Everyone was surprised that Chen Yang had hit the nail on the head about the male student just now, but they could still understand it with a smile. But now there was another person who came and they could still tell what symptoms he had just by observation.

"Are you so awesome?"

Someone couldn't help but ask, "He recited the Yellow Emperor's Classic of Internal Medicine backwards, and now he's diagnosing patients on the spot, and he doesn't even ask questions or feel the pulse, he's just relying on inspection?"

We all study Chinese medicine, so we naturally know how difficult this is. This requires real skills and cannot be faked at all.

"The face is slightly red, and easily upset..."

Chen Yang said as he looked at the students next to him: "If I'm not mistaken, the tip of the tongue should be red, with a thin yellow coating. Students next to you can take a look."

A classmate next to him stood up, and the male classmate who stood up earlier also opened his mouth to let the other party see.

"The tip of the tongue is yellow and the coating is thin yellow. What Senior Chen Yang said is correct." The other party said and sat back.

"Suwen·Cough Theory" mentions that 'all the internal organs can cause cough, not just the lungs.'

As soon as Chen Yang opened his mouth, many students couldn't help but open their mouths wide. Chen Yang was still going to use the contents of "Huangdi Neijing" to diagnose and treat this disease.
