The third stage is to be flexible and prescribe the right medicine for the symptoms. It not only requires the flexibility to apply the classical prescriptions and understand how to add or subtract ingredients from the prescriptions, but also the ability to roughly predict the development of the disease.

At this stage, you can be considered a famous doctor.

Being able to adapt to changing circumstances and judge the course of the disease will lower the probability of making mistakes, and even complex diseases can be solved.

Chinese medicine practitioners at this stage can already be called famous masters. No matter what era or place they are in, they can be famous, see patients, open clinics and teach students.

Yun Heng’s last sentence was actually a prediction of the patient’s condition, what would happen first, what would happen after taking the medicine, and what would happen next.

If the first stage is just reading from the script, taking the first step, and then there is a change in the second step, you don’t know what to do next, then the second stage is to take one step at a time, and the third stage is to take one step at a time and see three steps ahead. How should the patient use the medicine at this stage, what changes will occur after taking the medicine, what impact will it have on the next stage, and what should be done in the next stage?

Yun Heng is so young, but he has already reached such a level. How can Jin Anping not be surprised?

As for the next stage, it is not only necessary to understand the changes in the patient's disease course, but also to combine it with the seasons, understand the application of the Five Elements and Six Qi, understand the impact of time and season on symptoms, etc., and even be able to judge when a person is sick and when he recovers, and flexibly use prescriptions according to the seasons. There are even fewer doctors who can reach this level.

Just as Zhuge Liang commented on the famous generals to Lu Su in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, one must know how to use the weather, climate, plants, and everything can be used as a soldier. How many people did Zhuge Liang exclude at this stage?

Although in the TV series, this plot seems like Zhuge Liang showing off, it also shows how rare it is for generals to reach this level, and the same goes for Chinese medicine doctors.

Not to mention the fourth stage, even doctors at the third stage are rare.

Jin Anping didn't know the skill division on Yun Heng's panel, but according to this division, a doctor who could reach the third stage should be at level seven or above in the panel skill division.

"Thank you for your compliment, Master Jin. I am just expressing my superficial opinions. If I am wrong, I hope you will correct me."

Yun Heng said modestly.

"If your views are all superficial, then I don't know what kind of views are not superficial."

Jin Anyun smiled bitterly.

Yun Heng doesn't like communicating with strangers, so he loses control when talking to people he doesn't know well. Yun Heng is really humble. After all, it is impossible for him to be arrogant in front of Jin Anping.

But Yunheng's analysis just now really doesn't match this humility.

You have told us what will happen to the patient next. If this is still superficial, what would it be like if it were not superficial?

"Xiao Yun, I don't quite understand. Dizziness means upper prosperity, and unsteady walking means lower deficiency?"

Director Tang asked.

"We can't just say that. We have to consider the pulse and symptoms."

Yun Heng thought for a moment and explained, "Traditional Chinese Medicine distinguishes between deficiency and excess, upper and lower, and yin and yang. Many of these concepts actually have something in common with natural phenomena. In Traditional Chinese Medicine, the spirit, or divine being, refers to a person's spirit. A clear mind and active thinking indicate the presence of the divine being, just like the blue sky—a deep blue, boundless. But if it's covered in dark clouds, it means the mind is unclear, obscuring the divine being, just like dark clouds obscuring the blue sky, preventing us from seeing the sky."

"Where do dark clouds come from? Naturally, it's the evaporation of water vapor. Why does water vapor evaporate? Naturally, it's caused by excessive fire. Excessive fire in the upper burner, that is, excessive fire in the lungs and heart... This is called "upper prosperity."

"The lower part is actually the same thing. The upper part is the sky, and the lower part is the earth. If the ground is soft, how can you walk steadily?"

"Okay, well said."

Jin Anping was genuinely surprised. "The clear water rises and becomes the sky, while the turbid water sinks and becomes the earth. Xiaoyun, your explanation is so fitting."

Just as Yun Heng explained to Wang Xuemeng and He Yongfei, the eyes are the sun and the moon, and the sun and the moon are the eyes. The clear ones float up to become the sky, and the turbid ones sink to become the earth. It is unclear whether this statement is from man to heaven and earth or from heaven and earth to man, but this principle is a principle in traditional Chinese medicine treatment.

Dark clouds covered the sky, obscured the gods' vision, made the mind unconscious, and made the head dizzy.

Just like when it is cloudy, people can't help but feel depressed, and when the weather is clear, people can't help but feel refreshed. This is a very simple truth.

(By the way, this book is essentially a Chinese medicine text. The explanations of the condition, pathology, and medical records are the essence. Without these, the plot would be bland and boring. I hope everyone can understand this!)
