"However, as medicinal materials are used to treat diseases and save lives, we cannot completely ignore the hazards and side effects of drugs. We should look at the problem comprehensively."

Yun Heng said slowly, "Current research on traditional Chinese medicine often only focuses on its active ingredients and pharmacological effects. However, in reality, the key to TCM's ability to treat diseases lies in the natural properties of the herbs."

"Chinese herbal medicines rely on this property to correct the body's disrupted balance, but they can also disrupt the body's normal balance. If we ignore this, it will be impossible to understand and appreciate Chinese medicine from its essence, and it may even cause serious deviations in clinical practice."

Yun Heng looked at Hu Wenyi and Xie Kaiwen and said sincerely, "Mr. Hu and Mr. Xie are well-versed in both Chinese and Western medicine. They are renowned professors and scholars, and are experts trusted by patients and the public. They should look at this issue from the perspective of being responsible for their patients."

"Why do people like Yue Lao and my teachers Ji Fengwen and Qu Tongwen repeatedly emphasize the use of traditional Chinese medicine from a traditional Chinese medicine perspective? It is precisely because the characteristics of traditional Chinese medicine are different. Modern drugs target viruses, and if they go wrong, the damage is often only a small point. However, traditional Chinese medicine focuses on bias, and if a mistake is made, it may cause serious harm by damaging the whole area."

"Take oysters, for example. Their main ingredient is calcium carbonate. From a pharmacological perspective, modern medicine only knows they can neutralize stomach acid. But in Traditional Chinese Medicine, oysters, living in water, possess a yin and cold energy that can nourish yin and suppress yang, soften and disperse lumps, calm the mind, and astringe and consolidate. Could these discoveries be made with modern science and technology?"

"Mr. Hu and Mr. Xie have always advocated for the promotion of traditional Chinese medicine, which is very good. But can this really be used reasonably? Can we use modern scientific methods to study traditional Chinese medicine and really develop and apply it reasonably?"

"There's also floating wheat. Many people should be familiar with this medicinal ingredient. The only difference between floating wheat and other wheat is that it's shriveled and floats in water. To be more precise, it's an underdeveloped product. If you study its composition, it's almost indistinguishable from normal wheat. Yet, in Traditional Chinese Medicine, it's precisely because of this characteristic that it's used as a medicine, boasting benefits like invigorating Qi, removing heat, and stopping sweating. Can these be discovered with modern medical technology?"

For a moment, the scene fell silent again, and everyone listened to Yun Heng quietly.

Yun Heng continued, "Liu Wansu, one of the four famous doctors of the Jin and Yuan dynasties and the founder of the Cold School of Traditional Chinese Medicine, once said, 'Everything has its own nature. If we control and use it, adapt it and apply it to medicine, its functions are endless...'"

"It is precisely because of this characteristic of traditional Chinese medicine that it is so effective in actual clinical practice. From ancient times to the present, there have been famous doctors and mediocre ones. Famous doctors can cure even cancer, while mediocre doctors can kill even a cold. Why? It is because mediocre doctors do not know how to use medicine, so they cause greater harm."

Hu Wenyi and Xie Kaiyang looked at each other. Was this a hint at them?

"Xiao Yun, do you mean we should just leave it like this?" Xie Kaiyang's tone was filled with impatience.

He didn't mind debating with Yun Heng. What Yun Heng said made sense, but shouldn't traditional Chinese medicine be developed? For a moment, Xie Kaiyang even felt that Yun Heng was more hateful than those old antiques. Such a young man, with such stubborn ideas, would become the culprit who obstructed the development of traditional Chinese medicine as his fame grew and his voice became more important.

"Mr. Xie misunderstood what I meant."

Yun Heng said, "I just said that I am not opposed to the development and utilization of traditional Chinese medicine. Today, with the advancement of science and technology, the application of traditional Chinese medicine must also keep pace with the times, but..."

Xie Kaiyang was in a headache again. No matter how beautiful your previous words were, the turn of events was a bit scary.

"However, in actual application, we must combine it with reality and develop it reasonably, rather than indiscriminately."

"So, Xiaoyun, what kind of development do you think is reasonable development?" Hu Wenyi asked.

"It can be divided into two aspects. Either we simply research and develop based on the foundation of modern medicine, without using the guise of traditional Chinese medicine. As I said before, whether it's from animals or plants, it's just a medicine. It also has ingredients that can be extracted and studied. But at this point, the medicine is no longer traditional Chinese medicine. Completely abandon the influence of traditional Chinese medicine and combine it with the theories of modern medicine. Isn't that a good thing?"

For a moment, Ma Tiequan and others were thoughtful.

Yun Heng's statement is quite rare, but when you think about it carefully, it is very reasonable.

You can study modern medicine based entirely on its own foundation. Modern medicine also has its own theories and foundations. The drugs developed in this way can be used in clinical practice, and they are modern medicines.

"Another thing is that since we are developing and researching traditional Chinese medicine, we cannot ignore TCM practitioners. We need to strictly follow the rules of what drugs have what kind of harm, whether they can be mass-produced, whether they need to be purified, and who is qualified to prescribe them in actual clinical practice. We should let TCM practitioners participate in the preparation of the instructions, and label the contraindications and precautions from the perspective of TCM."

"Western doctors don't have the right to prescribe Chinese medicine, and Chinese medicine doctors don't have the right to prescribe Western medicine. But why is it that after Chinese medicinal materials are processed into Chinese patent medicines or pure Chinese medicine preparations, they become amphibians, which can be prescribed by Western doctors and Chinese medicine doctors?"

"this......"

Hu Wenyi and Xie Kaiyang fell into deep thought.

Yun Heng did not completely prevent the development and utilization of Chinese medicinal materials. Chinese medicinal materials can be developed and utilized, but they must be developed and utilized correctly. However, in reality, either traditional Chinese medicine takes the blame for Chinese medicine preparations, or, as Yun Heng said, Chinese patent medicines and pure Chinese medicine preparations have become amphibious and can be prescribed by anyone.

“Is this kind of development and utilization reasonable?”

Yun Heng said slowly, "Medicine, after all, is different from other things. It has disadvantages. We must find ways to eliminate these disadvantages instead of turning a blind eye to them."

For a moment, not only Hu Wenyi and Xie Kaiyang fell into deep thought, but Yue Anyun and others could not help but fall into deep thought.

If it is true as Yun Heng said, using these two methods to rationally develop and utilize Chinese medicinal materials, is it feasible?

It is completely feasible. Modern medicine should stand from the perspective of modern medicine, and traditional Chinese medicine should stand from the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine, rather than combining them randomly, where you refer to me and I refer to you.

"Well said."

Yue Anyun slammed the table and said, "Medicine is inherently rigorous. If we want to develop and utilize it, we must look at the problem objectively, rather than turning a blind eye to certain things."
