Chapter 793: Xinglin Discussion (4)
"What Dr. Chen said is absolutely right. Popularizing Chinese medicine is indeed urgent."
Xia Hongliang stood up and said slowly: "As the saying goes, whoever wins the hearts of the people wins the world. For Chinese medicine, how can we win the hearts of the people? That is to let the general public understand Chinese medicine, and understand Chinese medicine. Instead of saying that Chinese medicine is a liar and that treatment depends entirely on luck, there are still people who say that Chinese medicine is a liar and that treatment depends entirely on luck."
"Nowadays, we live in the era of universal education and the Internet. Information spreads rapidly and in a complex manner. We should make good use of this platform to produce popular science content that is easy to understand, vivid and interesting. For example, we can present Chinese medicine knowledge to the public in a simple and easy-to-understand way through short videos and comics."
"At the same time, we can also carry out science popularization activities combining online and offline activities, go into communities, schools, and enterprises, hold TCM lectures and free clinics, etc., so that more people can get close to TCM and feel its charm."
Xia Hongliang was very supportive and agreed with what Chen Yang had just said.
The more talented one is, the more he or she wants to do something challenging. Chen Yang's words seemed to instantly give this generation of Chinese medicine practitioners a historical mission.
Just as Chen Yang said, this generation of Chinese medicine practitioners should not only be doctors, but also preachers.
Then, several young doctors expressed their views. Some emphasized that TCM should further expand its technology and service scope in the field of rehabilitation and physiotherapy, while others proposed strengthening international exchanges in TCM and promoting TCM culture to the world.
"Thank you all for your active participation. What you said just now was very good. Now let's move on to the second topic."
The host said with a smile, and the second topic of today's discussion appeared on the big screen: What do you think of traditional Chinese medicine?
"Today's topics... are all very interesting." Xia Hongliang said to Lin Yi with a smile.
"It's really interesting, and it has a bit of the artistic conception of discussing Taoism." Lin Yi nodded with a smile.
The topic we are discussing today is not too professional, nor does it involve too deep theories of Traditional Chinese Medicine. It is a bit like chatting about daily life. What aspects of Traditional Chinese Medicine do you think are important?
What do you think of Traditional Chinese Medicine?
This topic is relatively light-hearted, but it is very meaningful in this occasion.
Just like the topic just now, what Chen Yang said was very meaningful.
As the topic unfolded, everyone began to speak and discuss again.
Before, many people ignored Chen Yang, but after Chen Yang’s speech just now, many people began to take Chen Yang seriously.
Regardless of Chen Yang's true level, the insights he just showed really opened everyone's eyes.
"Doctor Chen, you're not going to say anything this time?" Han Xingwen asked Chen Yang with a smile.
Chen Yang did not hesitate and stood up and said, "How do you view Chinese medicine? This is a big topic. I only started to learn about Chinese medicine after I went to college. Before that, my knowledge of Chinese medicine only came from movies, TV series and some novels."
"From childhood to adulthood, I have never seen a Chinese doctor when I was sick. There are Chinese medicine clinics around me, but there are not many, and my family has never taken me to one. My impression of Chinese medicine is the concepts of 'yin and yang, five elements', 'diagnosing pulses with hanging threads', and some novels, movies and TV dramas, where a single injection seems to be able to cure any disease and bring the dead back to life..."
As Chen Yang began to speak, the scene gradually became quiet and everyone began to listen quietly.
What Chen Yang said was not very profound or exciting, but it was easy to resonate with people because for most people at the scene, especially the young doctors around 40 years old, these were things that most people had experienced.
Unless someone like Han Xingwen and others has a family member who practices medicine, most people's impression of Chinese medicine is the same as Chen Yang's.
Many times, only the truth can resonate.
Just like some literary works and novels, the plot does not seem to be very ups and downs, but it can make people unable to stop reading, because what is described in the book is like the things around them.
It's easy to get involved in how to go to college, how to work, etc.
"In fact, it's not just me. I think most people learn about Chinese medicine from newspapers, magazines, and some TV dramas. Therefore, unless they deliberately try to learn about Chinese medicine, many people's impression of Chinese medicine is just this..."
Chen Yang continued, "So, it is easy to understand why some people think that Chinese medicine is unreliable, that it is a scam, and that it is mysterious."
Mo Xinzhi said softly to Liu Songyan and the others, "This goes back to what Chen Yang just said about popularizing Chinese medicine. It is precisely because most people do not understand Chinese medicine, and some film and television dramas will show very exaggerated things in order to attract attention, which leaves people with a mysterious impression of Chinese medicine."
Everyone nodded.
In today's society, not only Chinese medicine, but many traditional Chinese cultures have been over-interpreted.
For example, traditional Chinese medicine, martial arts, feng shui metaphysics, etc.
Because these cultures are Chinese culture, whether it is writing novels or making film and television dramas, these are one of the indispensable elements in many themes.
If you want to achieve a certain film or television effect or interpretation effect, there must be an element of exaggeration.
For example, Qinggong, such as stepping on snow without leaving any trace, the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms, the Yin-Yang Secret Art, etc.
It looks exciting and thrilling.
However, compared to martial arts or feng shui, the excessive interpretation of traditional Chinese medicine has caused a greater impact, because most people know that the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms and the Feng Shui secret technique are fake, but traditional Chinese medicine still exists and there are still many traditional Chinese medicine practitioners practicing medicine. What if everyone thinks that traditional Chinese medicine is also fake?
"Yin and Yang, the Five Elements, and pulse diagnosis by hanging a thread are so mysterious that Chinese medicine seems to be deified, very impressive and classy. However, in fact, Chinese medicine is divorced from reality, and a series of labels such as 'unscientific' and 'deceiving' have been undoubtedly put on Chinese medicine."
Chen Yang continued, "Many people put Chinese medicine on the same level as Feng Shui secrets and fortune-telling. The true face of Chinese medicine has not been recognized by the world for a long time..."
"In addition, some TCM practitioners deliberately try to be mysterious and profound in order to package themselves. They don't let patients understand the pathology and use some profound methods. Although the disease is cured, it makes TCM seem even more mysterious."
"Over time, TCM will lose the basis of public trust and confidence. If TCM does not have reliable basis and methods in the diagnosis and treatment process, then TCM will really become a 'idealistic' medical discipline. Even now, many TCM students do not have enough confidence in TCM..."
"After I went to university, I began to learn about Chinese medicine. The formation, development, and maturity of Chinese medicine have created their own unique and outstanding medical achievements over thousands of years..."
"Many famous doctors throughout the ages have continuously improved the Chinese medicine system, and Chinese medicine has accompanied the Chinese nation throughout its development..."
Chen Yang continued to speak, and everyone listened carefully, as if Chen Yang was not talking about himself, but about understanding Chinese medicine from everyone's perspective.
"We all know that humans are complex organisms. There are many complex individual organs, complex meridians, and even cells in the human body..."
"In ancient times, the sages could not directly observe cells and more subtle things, and even their understanding of individual organs was very limited. However, they understood that the strength of a single organ's function could not represent the overall picture. Only by studying a single organ as an adult can the most scientific results be obtained..."
"In the long process of exploring the mysteries of life and disease, the ancients created the research method of 'whole-balance', which is to understand the cause and development process of the disease through the external manifestations of the disease. This concept and dialectical method can grasp the essence of the disease more accurately than even examinations and tests..."
Chen Yang paused and continued, "Some people may ask why Chinese medicine is so powerful. It can understand the nature of the disease and determine the extent to which the balance of the human body has been disrupted without testing or dissection..."
"It's like an experienced person can judge the nutritional status of a plant by its appearance. Through plants, trees can tell the direction, and through annual rings, the number of years a tree has grown can be determined... The withering of branches and leaves indicates that something is wrong, and so on."
"When the overall balance is broken, it will definitely show up externally, and through the external manifestations, we can infer the overall balance. This is the power of Chinese medicine and the most scientific expression of Chinese medicine..."
Chen Yang changed the subject and said, "However, with universal education and rapid scientific progress today, why has Chinese medicine become a symbol of obsolescence and backwardness in the eyes of many people..."
"Even a large number of TCM practitioners feel that TCM lacks advanced biochemical and imaging equipment, nor does it have the rigorous medical theories of anatomy, physiology, pathology, pharmacology, and other aspects of Western medicine, nor does it have rigorous experimental data, so they need to learn Western medicine..."
When Chen Yang said this, the smile on Mo Xinzhi's face suddenly disappeared and his expression became serious.
As a representative of the new school of Chinese medicine, Chen Yang's remarks were undoubtedly equivalent to an attack on Mo Xinzhi.
If it had been in the past, Chen Yang's words would have definitely made Mo Xinzhi very unhappy.
Over the years, it's not that no one has questioned Mo Xinzhi, and it's not that Mo Xinzhi hasn't debated with others.
However, in most cases, the older generation of Chinese medicine practitioners, such as Wen Xiuping, Chu Yiyun and others, would not engage in such verbal disputes with Mo Xinzhi, and those who questioned Mo Xinzhi were mostly not as good as Mo Xinzhi in terms of level and contribution.
Many of them are actually just making a gimmick and wanting to gain fame. Faced with this situation, Mo Xinzhi will definitely not be easily shaken, and will also defeat the other party in his argument.
However, during the trip to Jialin County, Mo Xinzhi saw with his own eyes the level of Chen Yang and his group of young people, and then he also came into contact with Chen Yang. After returning, Mo Xinzhi also began to reflect...
People are like this. They will only reflect on themselves when they are inferior to others or when they are slapped in the face by reality. Although Chen Yang did not slap Mo Xinzhi in the face, the level of Chen Yang and others really surprised Mo Xinzhi.
At this moment, Chen Yang's words did not make Mo Xinzhi angry, but made Mo Xinzhi very pleased. In fact, Mo Xinzhi invited Chen Yang in the hope that Chen Yang could make some people reflect.
This is just like the New Deal in the past. As a leader, Mo Xinzhi cannot just notice the problem himself, he also needs to make more people aware of the problem.
"Fuck..."
Many young people were shocked and subconsciously looked at Mo Xinzhi.
Isn’t Chen Yang too bold?
He actually said such words in front of Mo Xinzhi on such an occasion.
Although some people also think that what Chen Yang said makes sense, especially Chen Yang's words, which were straightforward, from before school to when he went to college, and how he viewed Chinese medicine before and how he views Chinese medicine now...
Therefore, Chen Yang's words really touched the hearts of some people.
But, Mo Xinzhi is right next to us after all.
"Doctor Chen is too..."
Lin Yi smiled bitterly and said, "This really doesn't give Mr. Mo any face at all."
"Don't forget that when Chen Yang came to Lingnan, Mo Taihong personally went to the airport to pick him up. He also had dinner at Mo's home that day. The hotel he is staying in now is also run by the Mo family." Xia Hongliang reminded.
"You mean, Mr. Mo himself actually discovered the problem?" Lin Yi asked.
On this point, Lin Yi really didn't see it as clearly as Xia Hongliang.
"It has been many years since we called for the reform of traditional Chinese medicine. What was the purpose back then? How much has been achieved so far? How much has the current status of traditional Chinese medicine changed?"
Xia Hongliang said: "Some things are not that no one has discovered them, but that some people have already discovered them, but have to pretend not to know and keep moving forward."
Lin Yi nodded slightly, it was indeed the case.
"Chen Yang said it very well."
Xia Hongliang said: "This statement not only explains the current understanding of Chinese medicine by most people, but also explains the reasons behind it."
"Yes."
Lin Yi nodded: "If Chinese medicine wants to develop, it must first step down from metaphysics and the altar and become real medicine."
Not only Xia Hongliang and a few others were discussing this, but Han Mingzhi and a few others were also discussing it in a low voice.
"I didn't expect that Mr. Wen's grandson-in-law is so knowledgeable. His words fully describe the current status of traditional Chinese medicine." Han Mingzhi said with emotion.
"Now I understand why Xinzhi thinks so highly of Chen Yang."
Yang Huaimin said: "This Chen Yang is indeed extraordinary. Some things are definitely not something that can be solved simply by level. Chen Yang can have such cognition, which shows that he really likes Chinese medicine and has rich experience."
Wen Manlu looked at Chen Yang with burning eyes, her eyes were full of affection. As expected, only when she was next to Chen Yang could she see Chen Yang's wonderful performance. Chen Yang could make her unable to control herself every time...
