Rural Chinese Medicine Li Maoyang

Chapter 4 The Difficult Way of Traditional Chinese Medicine

Li Maoyang was riding a motorcycle to the east of the town, while thinking about it.

Once a person turns 20, it seems that he will mature a lot immediately.

Especially the kind of young people who have stepped into the society.

In the past, the seemingly distant life events such as starting a family and starting a business seem to be right in front of you once you turn [-].

So the 21-year-old Li Maoyang's sense of urgency is getting stronger and stronger.

After wandering in the society for a few years, he quickly understood what it meant to not have a college degree in this day and age.

It means that no matter where you go and what you do, you will be looked down upon. Needless to say, finding a job, even dating and getting married will become a huge problem.

Going to university will not only improve your horizons and knowledge, but more importantly, you will be stamped by an authoritative organization and recognized as a "qualified product" of society after you have obtained that university diploma.

No matter where you go and what you do in the future, this will be a stepping stone.

People like Li Maoyang without a college degree will naturally be regarded as unqualified products of society by default, and his future life will be doubly difficult because of this.

Because of my arrogance and ignorance, I dropped out of high school before finishing high school, and now there is nowhere to buy this regret medicine.

Fortunately, he has a famous master like the second uncle, and he has followed a rural old Chinese medicine doctor like Zheng Dake for more than a year, and now he has obtained the medical qualification certificate by taking the road of inheriting Chinese medicine. Being a rural doctor has become his The only way that is fairly bright.

Especially now that he has obtained the Qihuang system again, which is his biggest reliance on a turnaround.

But Li Maoyang became more urgent because of this. Who knows if this inexplicable system will suddenly disappear someday, so he must hurry up and forge ahead on the road of studying medicine while it is still there!
The most difficult part of learning Chinese medicine is practice. After learning a lot of theory, it is nonsense if it has nothing to do with reality.

From this point of view, Li Maoyang feels that he and the Chinese doctors in the University of Chinese Medicine are still fair, and they can still stand on the same starting line and compete one after another.

So now he especially cherishes every opportunity to see a doctor. When he learns the practical skills of four diagnosis, syndrome differentiation, massage, acupuncture, bone setting, and prescribing medicine, then he will have a way out in this society.

Now, the biggest difficulty facing Li Maoyang is the four diagnosis and syndrome differentiation, among which the pulse diagnosis is the most difficult. In the pulse diagnosis, he can even say that he doesn't even know where the door is.

He has studied medicine with his master Zheng Dake for more than a year. His biggest achievement now is that he has learned some theories. Acupuncture and moxibustion is basically an introduction.

As for learning Chinese medicine, pulse diagnosis is the most critical part. Doctors of Chinese medicine, the most important thing is to rely on three fingers to eat.

Before he passed away, the master encouraged him to take his time and keep learning. Feeling the pulse, you can feel it.

The "feeling" mentioned by the master, in Li Maoyang's view, is similar to a kind of intuition, or even a kind of "spiritual perception", which is really unclear.

Well, fortunately, he now has the Qihuang system. Although this system does not teach him how to feel the pulse, at least it will tell him whether he is feeling right or not. This is already a great help.

To really learn how to feel the pulse, it really takes a long time to accumulate experience and hone the feeling.

Until one develops an intuition like Master's.

However, Li Maoyang now suspects that there should still be a shortcut to learning pulse diagnosis.

That is the practice of sitting in meditation.

To truly reach the advanced state of feeling the pulse, it probably needs to be cultivated.

Master was also practicing in the last two years of his life, and it was taught to him by a wandering Taoist priest.

The master told him that cultivation is actually a way of keeping in good health, and there is no need to regard it as miraculous. Cultivation will not make you immortal, but you can live a few more years.

And the master also told him that to really reach the advanced state of feeling the pulse, one really needs to practice.

How the ancients discovered the meridians should have been discovered when they reached the state of looking inside themselves through cultivation.

Otherwise, meridians would never be discovered by ordinary people, because even the most cutting-edge modern instruments would not be able to detect them.

It should be like an airplane flight path, which exists when there are airplanes flying, and does not exist when there are no airplanes flying.

When a person is alive, there are qi organs running, so things like meridians exist. When a person is dead, without qi organs running, meridians should not exist.

Master regrets that he practiced too late and was too old, so he no longer has the "spiritual sense" of cultivation, so after two years of cultivation, he only cultivated a little sense of energy in the end, but it is a good thing for the body. It didn't help much either.

Instead, he encouraged Li Maoyang to try cultivation, and he also taught Li Maoyang the cultivation methods taught to him by Taoist priests.

Li Maoyang has also tried to practice intermittently for more than a year. Now he has a little sense of aura, but it is still like a seed that cannot sprout. The aura is like a gossamer. Where is it, so I just want to get up and meditate for a while, intermittently.

Li Maoyang couldn't believe it now that he used this kind of zhenqi seed, which seemed as thin as a gossamer, to open up Ren Du's two veins.

In the traditional sense, opening up the Rendu Second Meridian, of course, refers to the use of true Qi to flow through the Rendu Second Meridian, rather than the ordinary medical breath flowing through the Second Meridian. If it is not cleared, it will cause pain.

……

Li Maoyang rode his motorcycle to the town while thinking about it like this, and it took him more than half an hour before he entered the town suddenly on his motorcycle.

Maixiang Town is not big. There are two long streets from east to west, about three or four miles long. There are five short streets from north to south, connecting the two long streets from east to west.

Shops, hotels, restaurants, pharmacies, barber shops, bookstores... Some of the shops on the street are also regular shops. As for Shunfa, there are naturally two or three express stores.

So, the economy is okay.

Small cars run all over the street, and overbearing off-road cars are also seen from time to time.

People like Li Maoyang riding motorcycles into the town can be seen as "earth sticks" below.

When he parked his motorcycle in front of a noodle restaurant and swayed in with a 1.8-meter figure to eat, the earthy and wild temperament from the village below was even more exposed. His eyes were left and right, as if the world Most of all, he is awesome.

In short, it's totally a look that deserves a beating.

If someone said that he was learning Chinese medicine, someone would persuade him to let go of Chinese medicine just because of his foolish appearance.

In everyone's impression, to be a doctor of traditional Chinese medicine, one must have a somewhat fairy-like appearance, and at worst should also have a scholarly appearance, but Li Maoyang looks like a fool everywhere at first glance.

After eating two bowls of noodles, Li Maoyang rode his motorcycle and went straight to a pharmacy.

It was the Jiukang Pharmacy he often went to.

When he arrived at the pharmacy, he stopped his motorcycle, walked into the pharmacy a few steps, and was about to open his mouth to call out, "Senior Brother Qiao, I'm here!", but suddenly stopped as if he had been frozen, and the mouth that was about to open his mouth to call out couldn't yell. Out.

Be good, Qiao Guoguo, the daughter of Qiao Chunwang, the owner of the pharmacy, is here.
