National Physician: One Person Supports a Top-Tier Hospital

Why do experts and directors from various top-tier hospitals frequently appear at a community clinic? Why do nationally renowned experts and professors often visit a township-level health center?

Chapter 1010 The Relationship between Man and Environment

"Doctor Yun, tell us about it. We are curious too."

Immediately, people gathered around Yun Heng.

Yi Chaoping is actually just a leader, and many of the others are actually still thinking about continuing to make things difficult for Yun Heng. These young doctors will not be immediately convinced by one or two simple things.

Of course, there are some individuals who are indeed interested in this topic. The theory of luck in traditional Chinese medicine originated from the "Yellow Emperor's Internal Classic" and developed in later generations. The theory of luck occupies almost one-third of the content of the "Yellow Emperor's Internal Classic", and the research on the theory of luck has never stopped in later generations.

Some people say that Chinese medicine treats illness before it occurs. This is actually not wrong. Chinese medicine has very clear discussions on the prevention, occurrence and treatment of diseases in the theory of luck.

As we all know, the legendary doctor Bian Que, who is known to many people, once said that he had two older brothers, both of whom were more capable than himself. The only difference was that his older brother could treat diseases before they occurred, while his second brother could detect diseases in the early stages. He himself treated diseases after they broke out, so he became more famous.

Regardless of whether this story is true or not, it can in some ways illustrate the fact that Chinese medicine treats diseases before they occur, and the basis for this is actually the theory of luck.

However, in traditional Chinese medicine, the theory of luck has always been difficult to learn and master. There are very few people who can understand the theory of luck. Those who can apply it in clinical practice are all great masters of traditional Chinese medicine and experts in the field of medicine.

“You still need to read more books about this.”

Yun Heng said, "We all study Chinese medicine, so we should know that Chinese medicine is not just about learning how to treat illnesses and understanding herbal medicine. The medical principles and dialectics involve many things, including Confucianism, Taoism, the Five Movements and Six Qi, and Yin and Yang and the Five Elements. We still need to read more books and understand more."

Yun Heng could probably tell what Yi Chaoping was planning. Doctor Yun was sometimes just too lazy to bother with people, but he wasn't really stupid. You could tell from his contempt for others.

If they really wanted to ask for advice, Yun Heng wouldn't mind talking about it, but these people were obviously trying to make things difficult for him, so Yun Heng wasn't very interested.

“Doctor Yun, we also know how to read books, don’t you understand?”

Yi Chaoping said, "It's a good thing that you're here, Doctor Yun, so I'll ask you something. You know, if I ask the director and the others, not only will they not have time to tell me, but they'll probably get scolded."

"Yes, Doctor Yun, tell everyone about it."

There were also people around who asked, and some of them really wanted to know.

"Doctor Yun, just tell me."

Yi Chaoping's face was full of smiles.

It must be said that the most terrifying people are those who speak sweetly and flatter you all the time. Even if you know something, you can't get angry, otherwise you will appear to be a bad person.

"To put it simply, the Five Elements and Six Qi are actually the relationship between people and the environment."

Yun Heng had no choice but to say.

“People and the environment?”

A doctor nearby asked in confusion.

"On the surface, the Five Movements are composed of the ten Heavenly Stems in the astronomical calendar. The Five Elements are gold, wood, water, fire, and earth, also known as the Five Movements. Each Heavenly Stem in the Five Movements is also called the Annual Movement, the Great Movement, the Medium Movement..."

Yun Heng said, "The twelve Earthly Branches combine to form the six Qi: wind, heat, summer heat, humidity, dryness, and cold..."

Yun Heng paused and asked, "What do you think these are?"

"What is it?"

Yi Chaoping was stunned.

"Is it...a pattern?"

A 33-year-old young resident said.

“Yes, these are the rules.”

Yun Heng said, "The Five Elements and Six Qi weren't invented by anyone, nor were they fabricated out of thin air. Instead, they are patterns discovered by our ancestors based on years of observation, the changes of the four seasons, the changes of the years and the months."

"In the ancient astronomical calendar, the Ganzhi calendar consists of sixty years, each Jiazi cycle. These sixty years are not random, but because each sixty-year cycle follows a pattern that can be observed in the next sixty years. Climate change and disasters are like a cycle."

"The five elements of metal, wood, water, fire and earth, combined with wind, heat, summer heat, humidity, dryness and cold, are the laws of environmental change."

Yun Heng explained, "People living in this environment are influenced by it. Whether it's an adult, an unborn child, or a newborn, the environment they live in before birth affects their constitution, and the environment after birth affects their growth. People with certain constitutions are more susceptible to certain diseases in certain years. In this sense, the Five Elements and Six Qi are the relationship between the environment and humans."

"I see."

"Understood."

Someone beside him seemed to be thinking about something.

These principles are not difficult to say for sure, but when many people study and research these things, they first start by studying the so-called Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches, Yin and Yang, and the Five Elements, and calculating changes...

Most people who study Chinese medicine are actually liberal arts students. They find it overwhelming after a little research. It is even more boring than memorizing rhymes, so they don’t go deep into it.

But if you peel off the surface of the so-called five elements and the so-called heavenly stems and earthly branches, you will find that these are the relationships between people and the environment.

"The Five Movements and Six Qi are actually based on the calculation of the overall environmental conditions at the time by combining the Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches with Yin and Yang and the Five Elements."

Yun Heng said: "Just like..."

As he spoke, Yun Heng turned on his computer and looked at the medical record he was reading. "This patient was infected with the six exogenous qi around March of last year. According to the theory of qi and luck in traditional Chinese medicine, each year is divided into six climatic periods, and exogenous diseases are different diseases that occur in the six stages under the influence of climate. For example, the wind-heat diseases that occur in the initial qi are related to the six qi yinjue wind wood main order, and there are also the guest qi rotation changes of Sitian Zaiquan..."

"This case is of a patient treated by Director Zhu. He was prescribed a prescription that clears heat and penetrates the exterior, first promoting lung function, relieving cough and resolving phlegm, and relieving sore throat, detoxifying, and reducing swelling. Judging from the time the patient became ill, he was affected by a wind-heat pathogen. Because the initial Qi of Jueyin, wind and wood, govern the climate, wind-heat is the main characteristic. Therefore, in clinical practice, we must consider exogenous diseases of the wind-heat type..."

"Look at this again."

Yun Heng opened another case record. "This patient can be identified by his date of birth. He's in his sixties, born at the end of May in the Jiawu year of the lunar calendar. In the science of destiny, his major destiny belongs to the Jia element of the Heavenly Stems, which represents a great earth element. Among the six earthly branches, it belongs to the Wu element, meaning it's the year dominated by the Shaoyin Monarch Fire element. Furthermore, the month is dominated by the Shaoyin Xianghuo element, which represents the third element of the Earthly Branches. Therefore, his constitution has both the Monarch and Xiang Fire elements. Such patients dislike excessively hot weather, hot foods, or things that help generate heat. They prefer the cold to the heat, have an impatient personality, and a high temper. Their illnesses are often characterized by heat."

"So, the Five Flows and Six Qi uses an algorithm to calculate the environment at the time, thereby determining its impact on the patient..."

Yun Heng pulled over a medical record at random and began to explain based on the patient's age and treatment time. No matter what the group of people around him had thought before, they all listened attentively at this moment, and the scene was silent.

And at some point, Ye Yiyu and Zhu Senqiang had already stood behind them, listening attentively as well.
