"I didn't realize it before, but after hearing what Doctor Yun said, it made it sound so vivid."
"Yeah, I think so too."
In the lecture hall, students were whispering and communicating in low voices.
Many of the students in the classroom have actually been to traditional Chinese medicine hospitals and have seen the current situation of some traditional Chinese medicine hospitals.
I went to the Traditional Chinese Medicine department and was seen by a Traditional Chinese Medicine expert. I was given test orders and examination orders, stayed in the ward, had my temperature taken, my blood pressure measured, and was given an IV drip. Everything was done there.
As Yun Heng said, traditional Chinese medicine has gradually been replaced by Western medicine, and traditional Chinese medicine doctors also use modern medical treatment and diagnostic methods.
What is the difference between this kind of Chinese medicine and one that exists in name only?
"Why does it sound like Yun Heng is scolding me?"
Lei Yi subconsciously touched his nose: "I didn't realize it before, but now after hearing what Yun Heng said, I feel like I have become a translator."
Wang Zhiqiang smiled and said nothing.
I have to admit that Yun Heng's words instantly elevated the topic to a higher level and gave all the students a sense of mission.
Students who have not yet entered society are relatively less utilitarian, have dreams and are passionate. In fact, they are a relatively pure group of people, and a sense of mission can really inspire some students.
It’s the same chicken soup, but an experienced person won’t feel anything after drinking it, but a young person will often feel excited after drinking it.
"But if you think about it carefully, what Yun Heng said does make sense."
Lei Yi said softly: "We may not have realized it a few years ago, but now we have to face some problems."
What unequal treaty did Yun Heng talk about? The combination of Chinese and Western medicine is called a combination, but Chinese medicine is just a vassal. This is what is called inequality.
"Dean, don't say that."
Wang Zhiqiang knew Lei Yi: "Back then, you were in the county hospital, the only traditional Chinese medicine hospital. You couldn't even afford to pay the salaries of the doctors, so you sought change..."
Lei Yi waved his hand: "I always thought this was something I could boast about, but now?"
Lei Yi pointed at Yun Heng inside and said, "Xia Hospital now focuses on Traditional Chinese Medicine. I heard that it is overcrowded with patients. Why didn't our county hospital have any patients back then? It was because we were not qualified enough."
Wang Zhiqiang: “…”
Inside the classroom, Yun Heng continued, "Deng Tietao once said that the 'Zhong' in Chinese medicine means upholding harmony and following the natural order. This statement truly illustrates the true meaning of Chinese medicine. Chinese medicine's treatment philosophy has always been to follow the will of Heaven and respond to the needs of the individual. In some ways, this aligns with the Taoist concept of 'ruling by inaction.'"
"What does it mean to follow the flow and take advantage of it? What does it mean to follow the will of Heaven and respond to the needs of people? People tend to go to higher places, and water flows to lower places. However, when water flows to lower places, it is inevitable that it will encounter blockages. Chinese medicine is about properly unblocking and guiding it to ensure that the water flows smoothly..."
Yun Heng continued to speak.
In the five thousand years of Chinese history, there are two dynasties that are quite controversial, one is the Yuan Dynasty and the other is the Qing Dynasty.
From the perspective of the Han people, these two dynasties actually meant that the Han Dynasty had fallen into the hands of others. However, most people have mixed opinions about the Yuan Dynasty. After all, it had the largest territory. Many people scoff at the Qing Dynasty, saying that it lost power and humiliated the country, leading to the decline of China.
In addition to this aspect, the biggest impact of the Yuan and Qing dynasties on China actually includes the loss of part of the culture. After the Jin and Yuan dynasties, the classical prescription school of traditional Chinese medicine gradually declined, and the mainstream was gradually replaced by the warm disease school and the contemporary prescription school. In fact, from this time on, traditional Chinese medicine gradually declined.
In the history of traditional Chinese medicine, Zhang Zhongjing's "Treatise on Febrile Diseases" is the most highly praised traditional Chinese medicine classic. Both the prescriptions and dosages in it are quite particular. By the Ming Dynasty, deviations had actually begun to appear in various aspects of traditional Chinese medicine, such as the dosage of medicines.
The introduction of Western medicine into China had the greatest impact on traditional Chinese medicine, gradually depriving it of its living ground and gradually losing its position in treating acute, critical and severe diseases.
"In this environment, the essence of traditional Chinese medicine is gradually disappearing, and the new generation of traditional Chinese medicine doctors is only left with the simple listing and combination of important things based on Western medical theories..."
Yun Heng said slowly, "In fact, I don't approve of this kind of Chinese medicine. To be more precise, this kind of Chinese medicine can only be a doctor who uses Chinese medicine, not a Chinese medicine practitioner. Only when it is guided by Chinese medicine theory and uses Chinese medicine to dialectically analyze and treat diseases, can it be called Chinese medicine..."
"As TCM students and doctors in this special period, we shoulder the future of TCM, connecting the past and the future... We are all still in the learning stage, so I hope that while you are studying, you can truly understand and appreciate TCM, and at least become a qualified TCM practitioner in the future."
"To be frank, Chinese medicine is just a means of curing illnesses and saving lives. Whether it's Chinese medicine or Western medicine, they're both treating patients. There's no need to differentiate between you and me. However, Chinese medicine has its own philosophy. Doctors who are half Chinese and half Western, or half Western and half neither, are unqualified. You have to be either Chinese medicine or Western medicine. That's how we should be responsible to our patients."
"The above are my personal views on what Chinese medicine is. Of course, it is just one person's opinion, so everyone should treat it dialectically."
Yun Heng smiled and said.
“Snap! Snap! Snap!…”
There was warm applause in the classroom.
When Yun Heng was giving the lecture just now, some students even recorded what he was explaining and posted it on WeChat Moments and Douyin.
"It's no coincidence that Dr. Yun has such a high level of skill at such a young age."
Xie Jiaping said sincerely.
"yes."
Xie Kaiping nodded. At this moment, Xie Kaiping completely lost the desire to compete with Yun Heng.
"Dr. Yun truly loves Chinese medicine, which is why he has such insights."
Guan Yalan said softly.
In fact, they are exactly what Yun Heng called impure Chinese medicine practitioners, Chinese medicine practitioners with modern medical thinking.
Everyone's growth is related to experience.
The reason why Yun Heng has such an understanding is that he gained this insight through clinical practice and exercises in simulated space.
When one patient after another is cured, when one patient after another recovers from illness, this experience and this feeling can make people truly understand Chinese medicine.
In the past two years, Yun Heng has not only encountered patients whose treatment was delayed but also encountered them in simulated space.
The simple concept of traditional Chinese medicine does not distinguish between deficiency and excess, cold and heat, but simply distinguishes based on the field of modern medicine, such as which medicine lowers blood pressure and which medicine lowers blood sugar. When problems arise, the patient has often been treated poorly.
"Okay, that's all for this question. Do any other students have questions?"
Yun Heng asked with a smile.
This time, many people raised their hands.
"This classmate is speaking."
Yun Heng stretched out his finger and pointed at someone at random.
"Doctor Yun, I want to ask what exactly Chinese medicine relies on to treat diseases. We can understand some of the modern medicine, and the data is abnormal and biased, but Chinese medicine is really difficult..."
"Yes, Doctor Yun."
Many students couldn't help but express their thoughts.
