Chapter 233 What is Traditional Chinese Medicine?



Beijing College of Traditional Chinese Medicine.

As Mo Chaoyang led Su Zhengnan toward the classroom where the lecture would be held, he continued with a smile:

"Besides the students, several postgraduate students of Traditional Chinese Medicine from our school and visiting professors are also attending this lecture. You'd better show us your real skills later, you hear me!"

"What the heck?"

Su Zhengnan was taken aback and looked at Mo Chaoyang, saying, "Senior brother, didn't you say you were just giving lectures to students? How come there are visiting professors and graduate students here?"

Mo Chaoyang smiled nonchalantly and said, "These graduate students are still students. As for visiting professors, their knowledge of traditional Chinese medicine is not as high as mine. They should be learning from them. Junior brother, don't take it too seriously."

"......."

Su Zhengnan immediately felt like he had been tricked, but there was nothing he could do about it.

What can he do when the other person is his senior brother?

Besides, now that he was already here, Su Zhengnan couldn't back out and had no choice but to bite the bullet and go for it.

Su Zhengnan followed his second senior brother, Mo Chaoyang, for about twenty minutes until they arrived at a six-story teaching building. They then went up to the second floor and came to the door of a classroom.

With a creak!

Mo Chaoyang pushed open the classroom door and walked straight in.

Su Zhengnan blinked and then walked in without the slightest fear.

It's just giving a lecture to a group of traditional Chinese medicine students!

Who doesn't know how?

*Slap slap slap...*

The next moment, a burst of enthusiastic applause rang out in the classroom!

Su Zhengnan looked around in surprise. The classroom was full of students, all staring at him with wide eyes. In the last row sat a group of older students, some of whom even had white hair.

These people must be the visiting professors that my second senior brother mentioned, right?

Su Zhengnan smiled slightly and nodded to the visiting professors sitting in the last row, which was considered as him taking the initiative to greet them.

At this moment, the students sitting in the classroom stared curiously at Su Zhengnan as he walked into the classroom, and they couldn't help but discuss among themselves.

"Is this Dean Mo's junior brother? He looks so young!"

"He must be about my age, right? I'm still in school, and he's already started giving us lessons?"

"Do you think Dean Mo's junior brother is really as amazing as Dean Mo claims?"

"I don't know!"

"Rumor has it that Dean Mo's junior brother is very skilled; he's even said to know acupuncture anesthesia!"

"What? He knows acupuncture anesthesia?"

"......."

Fortunately, the students' murmurs were drowned out by the applause, and Mo Chaoyang didn't hear them. Otherwise, the vice dean would probably have scolded everyone for their lack of classroom discipline.

Mo Chaoyang led Su Zhengnan to the podium, then waved to signal everyone to quiet down.

The applause in the classroom soon stopped.

Mo Chaoyang pointed to Su Zhengnan standing to the side and introduced him to everyone with a smile:

"This is Su Zhengnan, whom I mentioned to you before. He is my junior brother. He will be giving you two lessons today. I hope you will all listen attentively and study hard."

"You must not underestimate my junior brother just because he is about the same age as all of you."

"My junior brother's achievements in traditional Chinese medicine far surpass mine. You all must believe it; you'll see when you hear his lecture later."

At this point, Mo Chaoyang turned to look at Su Zhengnan and nodded, saying:

"Junior brother, the rest of the time is in your hands."

With that, Mo Chaoyang turned around and walked off the podium, then sat down in the middle of the last row.

In an instant, all the students in the classroom fell silent.

Mo Chaoyang, the school's vice dean, sat in the back watching. All the students turned into obedient children, afraid that he, the vice dean, would catch them doing something wrong.

On the podium.

Su Zhengnan took a deep breath, then smiled and said to everyone:

"Good morning, fellow students and professors. My name is Su Zhengnan. As your Dean Mo just introduced me, I am his junior. Today, I will be giving you two lectures. I hope that what I say will be helpful to you all."

Su Zhengnan smiled as he looked at the students below the stage, his eyes clear and confident.

"Before I begin the lecture, I'd like to ask you all a question: What is your understanding of Traditional Chinese Medicine?"

Su Zhengnan's voice was gentle and magnetic, and one topic immediately attracted the attention of all the students.

"I think traditional Chinese medicine is the medical skill of our ancestors, and we are its inheritors."

"I think it's Chinese herbal medicine. Traditional Chinese medicine and Chinese herbal medicine are an inseparable whole."

"I think traditional Chinese medicine includes massage, acupuncture, and cupping—these are all special treatment methods passed down from our ancestors..."

"Traditional Chinese medicine is a practical medicine, a summary of practical experience passed down for thousands of years. It is a medical approach with the Yin-Yang theory as its core and holistic view and syndrome differentiation and treatment as important means."

The students in the classroom were eager to speak, and it seemed that everyone had a different understanding of traditional Chinese medicine.

The visiting professors sitting in the last row exchanged glances, expressing their dissatisfaction with the students' remarks, but they didn't say anything more.

Listening to each student's answer.

Su Zhengnan smiled slightly and said, "What you said is all correct, but not entirely correct."

Traditional Chinese medicine takes Yin-Yang and the Five Elements as its theoretical foundation, and regards the human body as a unity of Qi, form and spirit, and uses the four diagnostic methods of "inspection, auscultation, inquiry and palpation" to make a comprehensive diagnosis.

"To investigate the cause, nature, and location of the disease, analyze the pathogenesis and changes in the five internal organs, meridians, joints, qi, blood, and body fluids, we can determine the waxing and waning of pathogenic factors and the body's resistance, thereby deriving a disease name, summarizing the syndrome type, and applying treatment based on the principle of syndrome differentiation..."

There is no doubt that traditional Chinese medicine covers an extremely wide range of knowledge.

A few words cannot define the complete concept of Traditional Chinese Medicine.

Su Zhengnan explained his understanding of traditional Chinese medicine, then paused, smiled, and looked at everyone, saying:

"Actually, when my senior asked me to come and give a lecture to you all, I didn't know what to talk about at first, because traditional Chinese medicine covers such a wide range of knowledge that it cannot be explained in just a few words."

"Since I don't know what to say, I'll just talk about whatever comes to mind!"

"Let's start by talking about the four diagnostic methods of 'inspection, auscultation, inquiry and palpation,' which is also the most basic way of making a judgment in traditional Chinese medicine."

"By observing the patient's spirit, complexion, shape, posture, tongue appearance, veins, skin, and the five sense organs and nine orifices, we can determine the patient's condition."

"In visual diagnosis, tongue diagnosis and facial diagnosis are particularly important because the appearance of the tongue and the complexion can most directly reflect the condition of the patient's internal organs!"
