Leisurely monastic life

Chapter 356 Research Assistant
"Luo Tianwang, you are the one I don't understand the most. You got such a high score in the college entrance examination, how did you choose to study Chinese medicine?" Cheng Minghui asked.

"That's right. I heard that there was a pervert with high scores in this class who chose Kyoto University of Traditional Chinese Medicine. When I first heard about it, I thought it was a psychopath. Now it seems that you don't look like a neuropathy." .” Peng Shengjie laughed.

"You're crazy. I chose Chinese medicine, of course, because Chinese medicine is good." Luo Tianwang said.

"Chinese medicine is good? This is the first time I've heard of it." Tao Zhixiang chuckled, and then continued, "No one believes in Chinese medicine now. You can see that Western medicine hospitals in all cities are full. But there are no birds at the entrance of Chinese medicine hospitals. The benefits are not good. Well, the income is naturally not good. If I scored as high as you in the test, I would have studied Western medicine. How famous is the brand of Kyoto University? After graduation, it is at least a prefecture-level hospital, and maybe a provincial-level hospital. .It’s not that our Chinese medicine is not good, but that college students can’t learn much in a few years. Chinese medicine is more valuable as you get older. But it doesn’t mean that everyone can survive.”

"I have liked Chinese medicine since I was a child, and I have some foundation, so I chose this major." Luo Tianwang said.

"That's no wonder." Peng Shengjie nodded.

Luo Tianwang's life at Kyoto University of Traditional Chinese Medicine soon became extremely regular.

"The ancients cured diseases, medicines have monarchs and ministers, prescriptions have odds and odds, and medicines have sizes..." Old Professor Li Shengyu spoke happily on the stage, but the audience was a little drowsy, and several students sat in the back row of the classroom , secretly took out the phone, either playing games or reading novels.Since the advent of smartphones, all teachers have found it difficult to attend classes.

Luo Tianwang listened fairly seriously, but he had some reservations about the views in the book. Some views were correct, while some views he did not agree with.The ancients made prescriptions, assisting the emperor and ministers, and cooperating properly; governing from the rule of law is of profound significance.

"We will spend the rest of the time answering questions. If you have any questions, feel free to ask." Li Shengyu wanted to try classroom interaction.But no one was willing to stand up and ask questions.Not many people took the class seriously.

Li Shengyu had some regrets: "Does none of you have a problem?" Li Shengyu asked again.

Luo Tianwang stood up: "Teacher, I have a question. How many kinds of prescriptions are included in the soup song you mentioned? How many kinds of Chinese medicinal materials are covered by these prescriptions?"

Li Shengyu scratched his head. The soup recipes that are now circulating were compiled by Wang Ang, an old Chinese doctor during the Kangxi period of the Qing Dynasty. It contains 320 famous prescriptions, divided into [-] categories.But no one has counted how many traditional Chinese medicines are covered in it.

"There are a total of 320 famous prescriptions. As for the number of Chinese herbal medicines, no one has counted them." Li Shengyu said.

"The total number of traditional Chinese medicines recorded in the Chinese Pharmacopoeia is more than 2000. Teacher Li thinks this is all Chinese medicinal materials? However, there are 360 ​​and five kinds of animal, plant and mineral medicines included in the Shennong Bencao Jing. In the Ming Dynasty, Li Shizhen's "Materia Medica" In the "Compendium", there are 1892 kinds of medicines and more than 11000 kinds of prescriptions."

What Luo Tianwang said made Li Shengyu a little confused. He didn't know what Luo Tianwang's purpose was, so he interrupted Luo Tianwang's words: "Student, I don't understand what you mean, you'd better talk about your point of view directly."

"Traditional Chinese medicine continues to develop, and various medicines are included in the medicinal material library of Chinese medicine. However, this number has not been developed for a long time. Our current Chinese medicine is completely eating the leftovers of the ancients. There is no longer any Expansion of the library of medicinal materials. As we all know, the number of many medicinal materials has become less and less, and some of them are even on the verge of extinction. This phenomenon is very bad, and may cause us to have no medicines at all in the future. And many of them are sustainable The development of traditional Chinese medicine has to use artificially planted medicinal materials, which greatly reduces the effect of medicinal materials. Compared with Western medicine, Western medicine is developing faster and faster than traditional Chinese medicine. Chinese New Year is not as good as Wang Xiaoer's new year. Years. The backwardness of Chinese medicine is precisely because we blindly rely on our laurels in Chinese medicine, which has a lot to do with it." Luo Tianwang said.

Li Shengyu was taken aback for a moment, and then nodded involuntarily: "You are right, Chinese medicine has been hesitant to advance in recent years. There are many reasons for this, and what you said is one of them."

Speaking of this, just when the class bell rang, Li Shengyu glanced at Luo Tianwang and smiled helplessly: "Sometimes we were also very helpless, just like today's discussion, there are still many things to discuss, but the class There's only so much time, let's get out of class."

When Luo Tianwang was about to go to the next classroom for the next class, Li Shengyu stopped him.

"I'm going to recruit a research assistant in your lower grades, are you interested?" Li Shengyu hadn't seen a Chinese medicine major student as thoughtful as Luo Tianwang for a long time.So he was going to give Luo Tianwang a chance.

Luo Tianwang was taken aback, Li Shengyu didn't wait for Luo Tianwang's answer, and continued: "This research assistant can be like my graduate student, and often go to the hospital with me to contact some medical records. It won't take up too much of your class time. Go there when you don't have classes Just do it."

Luo Tianwang immediately agreed: "Then I will."

Li Shengyu gave Luo Tianwang his contact information: "After class, you can find me at the affiliated hospital."

Luo Tianwang wrote down Li Shengyu's contact information in his notebook, and at the same time saved the phone number in his phone.

"Luo Tianwang, you are so bold that you dare to question Professor Li in class. Professor Li is the master of our hospital of traditional Chinese medicine. It is said that leaders of many countries seek medical treatment from him. In ancient times, he was an imperial physician." Cheng Minghui's news is really well-informed, and he can quickly collect all the materials of the teachers.This is also a very powerful ability.

"You're wrong. I didn't question Professor Li. I was discussing Chinese medicine with Professor Li. In fact, we reached some consensus. Professor Li asked me to be his research assistant." Luo Tianwang said.

"What? You're so awesome. Professor Li actually wants to include you in the door. You're really lucky. Professor Li is the best person in our college. His words are more effective than the leaders of the hospital. And Professor Li is an affiliated hospital. The most authoritative expert. If others think of Professor Li's door, Professor Li will not sell anyone's face. I didn't expect to be impressed by you." Cheng Minghui said.

The afternoon happened to be a biweekly class, and there was no class in one afternoon, so Luo Tianwang happened to go to the affiliated hospital to see it.
