At this moment, both the Chinese medicine doctors and the representatives of pharmaceutical companies present were pondering the three questions asked by Yun Heng.
There are basically no complete laymen present today. Whether they are practicing medicine or doing business, they all know something about Chinese medicine, or they all recognize Chinese medicine to some extent.
Yun Heng's speech just now went from shallow to deep, and from his own perspective, he talked about his understanding and attitude towards traditional Chinese medicine when he first started studying medicine. It is easy to resonate with people.
Whether it was Yue Anyun, Fang Zhiyan and others, or Xie Kaiyang, Hu Wenyi and others, even if they themselves did not feel it, some people around them had similar views to Yun Heng's before.
I feel confused and bewildered when seeing a Chinese doctor. I don't understand and can't figure out how they can cure my illness.
For thousands of years, Chinese medicine has cured countless patients, and there have been many famous Chinese medicine doctors throughout the ages, as Xie Kaiyang just mentioned, including Bian Que, Hua Tuo, Zhang Zhongjing, and so on.
So why has traditional Chinese medicine become a castle in the air now?
Why don’t so many people understand?
What exactly is the load-bearing wall in traditional Chinese medicine?
Yun Heng continued, "Later, I went to medical school and officially began to learn about Chinese medicine. As I learned more, I gradually understood that the process of Chinese medicine treatment and diagnosis of diseases are based on clear and objective evidence, with rigorous and careful inferences, and are not just arbitrary decisions made by doctors.
"Traditional Chinese Medicine has created unique and remarkable medical achievements over thousands of years of its formation, development, and maturity. But why is it that today, traditional Chinese Medicine has become what many people call a 'heterodox path'?"
As he spoke, Yun Heng's voice became much louder: "I feel that I have a lot to say on this issue."
Some people were stunned. Yun Heng was so confident, or even so arrogant?
For such a question, even Xie Yunzhang wouldn't dare to say that he has the most say, right?
"I say this because I truly learned Chinese medicine step by step based on my own understanding."
Yun Heng said, "Mr. Xie and Mr. Hu both know that Mr. Qu Tongwen and Mr. Ji Fengwen are both my mentors, but I have only been their apprentice for two years. Before that, my favorite thing to do was hang out in the library."
"Let me digress here."
Yun Heng smiled and said, "My family is not very well off. When I first applied to medical school, I just wanted to be a doctor and find a relatively stable job. I didn't have any big aspirations. But after studying medicine, I realized that if you want to find a good job, you have to learn what you have learned well. So, besides attending classes, I read books in the library. What books do I read specifically?"
"I just learned about yin and yang, the five elements, and what gold, wood, water, fire, and earth are. I just learned about these metaphysical concepts. After I understood them, I realized that the fog I had before when I was studying Chinese medicine disappeared. I could see through it and was no longer confused."
"Mr. Xie just said that the older something is, the better it is. I would also like to say that not all old things are bad."
Xie Kaiyang: “…”
It was the first time that Xie Kaiyang dealt with Yun Heng, and he was a little uncomfortable with Yun Heng's way of speaking.
Mr. Xie said this, and Yun Heng has quoted it several times.
The first time, Xie Kaiyang thought it was pretty good, but the second and third time, Xie Kaiyang felt a little embarrassed.
After all, what Xie Kaiyang said was true, and what Yun Heng said was also true.
Ancient things are not necessarily good, but they are not necessarily bad either. Xie Kaiyang only said half a sentence just now and used half a sentence to argue.
"When Chinese medicine was first established, there were no microscopes or X-rays, so its understanding of the world was based on a different foundation. After I learned about Yin and Yang and the Five Elements, I realized that Chinese medicine's theoretical system doesn't specifically refer to Yin and Yang and the Five Elements, nor does it specifically refer to gold, wood, water, fire, and earth. Instead, it's about characteristics. Chinese medicine forms its unique way of thinking based on the characteristics of all things. Yin and Yang and the Five Elements are just characteristics, and characteristics are eternal and unchanging. This is the support system of Chinese medicine."
"Today, what we learn and know has deviated further from the foundations of Chinese medicine. Not only do ordinary people not understand it, but even undergraduates and graduate students rarely delve into it. If we don't try to understand it, we won't be able to comprehend it. It's like rice, which originally only thrived in paddy fields. Now we insist on transplanting it to dry fields and then blame it for not surviving. What's the logic behind this?"
"Well said."
Ma Tiequan slammed the table excitedly, which scared Liang Wanming next to him.
Some people looked over subconsciously.
"It's okay, it was just an accident."
Ma Tiequan laughed along and was so excited that he forgot he was not on the podium.
"Well said."
Fang Zhiyan said slowly, "Yun Heng's words today really spoke for many practitioners of Traditional Chinese Medicine. With the impact of Western culture, vernacular Chinese and simplified Chinese characters have long been completely eroded. Under these circumstances, how many people wouldn't be confused? I'd like to ask you, Hu Wenyi, if you can clearly identify the pillars of Traditional Chinese Medicine?"
Hu Wenyi: “…”
"Education was far from universal before. Most people couldn't read, so how could we talk about the foundation?"
"It is precisely because I cannot read and understand that I do not question it casually."
Yue Anyun said, "Now that education is universal, everyone is becoming more intelligent. It is precisely because of this increased intelligence and increased understanding that people have learned to question. Doesn't Professor Hu understand this?"
Hu Wenyi: “…”
I......
Hu Wenyi subconsciously glanced at Xie Kaiyang.
This time they were well prepared and planned to use this controversial topic to promote the importance of traditional Chinese medicine. However, they never expected that Yun Heng's words would disrupt their rhythm.
Especially the way Yun Heng speaks, it's like telling a story, what happened before and what happened after, this way of speaking is so fucking realistic.
I don’t know what others are thinking, but Hu Wenyi was almost shaken by what Yun Heng said just now.
"Master Yue and Master Fang, please don't be angry."
Xie Kaiyang said, "Old Hu and I both recognize Traditional Chinese Medicine. We don't question it, and the topic we discussed was mainly Traditional Chinese Medicine and Traditional Chinese Medicine. The importance of Traditional Chinese Medicine is unquestionable, and we have never shaken the foundation of Traditional Chinese Medicine. However, Traditional Chinese Medicine can completely break away from Traditional Chinese Medicine and play a better role, right?"
Hu Wenyi breathed a sigh of relief.
He was a little confused and angry.
Yes, Yun Heng talked a lot about traditional Chinese medicine, and they didn’t directly target traditional Chinese medicine, so they just brought the topic back.
"Mr. Xie's words reveal that he still hasn't figured out the main pillars of Traditional Chinese Medicine."
Yun Heng said slowly.
As soon as Yun Heng opened his mouth, Xie Kaiyang and Hu Wenyi felt overwhelmed.
They really want to say, you have said a lot today, can you slow down a bit and let others speak?
"Xiaoyun, continue."
Yue Anyun encouraged with a smile.
?
Hu Wenyi and Xie Kaiyang were speechless.
