I can hear the voice of Chinese medicine

Chapter 226 This young man seems to be born for Chinese medicine

Zhang Guangli was shocked.

Doesn't this refer to his deceased father?

Except for his medical skills, which cannot be compared to that of a great doctor, everything else is about the same.

At this moment, Zhang Guangli had a new understanding of the so-called famous doctors.

But, do such Chinese medicine practitioners still exist?

he does not know.

Maybe, maybe not.

But he wished there had been.

Zhang Guangli took a deep breath and said slowly: "Dr. Lu, I have been exposed to Chinese medicine for some years. My father is a Chinese medicine practitioner. I have been influenced by my father since I was a child, and I have a strong interest in Chinese medicine. I learned it when I grew up. Because I have a foundation in traditional Chinese medicine, I know more than my peers and have sufficient clinical experience. After returning to Anjiang, everything went smoothly until I became the director of the county traditional Chinese medicine hospital a few years ago.

Over the years, I have traveled extensively and met many people. Some people say that Chinese medicine is unscientific, while others say that Chinese medicine is somewhere between science and metaphysics. Some even say that Chinese medicine is not just a skill to treat illnesses and save lives, but also a part of Chinese culture. kind of inheritance.

I kept the word culture in mind, but I thought about it for a long time and never understood what it meant. Although you are young, your medical skills are superb. Even Mr. Huang Beishan said that in the field of traditional Chinese medicine, he is not as good as you. I'd like to hear your insights. "

"I can't talk about my opinions, but if Dean Zhang wants to hear it, I can tell you some of my understandings. If there is anything wrong, you can point it out directly, and you and I can explore the mysteries together."

Zhang Guangli nodded and said nothing.

Lu Xuan, on the other hand, groaned and said, "Traditional Chinese medicine is a representative of China's excellent traditional culture."

It was just a sentence of a dozen words, but it resonated with Zhang Guangli from the bottom of his heart.

If traditional Chinese medicine cannot be regarded as a representative of traditional Chinese culture, then nothing else can.

Why?

In Zhang Guangli's view, traditional Chinese medicine is actually the most suitable for external dissemination and export. Compared with traditional cultures such as martial arts, calligraphy, and Peking opera, traditional Chinese medicine originated earlier and best represents the quintessence of China.

TCM was born in primitive society, and the theory of TCM was basically formed during the Spring and Autumn and Warring States Periods, and then it was summed up and developed in successive dynasties.

In addition, it has a profound impact on countries in the Chinese cultural circle, such as Japanese medicine, Korean medicine, Korean medicine, and Vietnamese Eastern medicine, which were all developed based on traditional Chinese medicine.

Traditional Chinese medicine carries the experience and theoretical knowledge of ancient Chinese people fighting against diseases. It is a medical theoretical system gradually formed and developed through long-term medical practice under the guidance of ancient simple materialism and spontaneous dialectics.

The theory of traditional Chinese medicine comes from the summary of medical experience and the ancient Chinese thoughts of yin and yang and the five elements.Its contents include the theory of essence, the theory of yin and yang and the five elements, etc.

The theory of Yin Yang and Five Elements has run through the entire 5000-year history of China.

It is not unreasonable to say that traditional Chinese medicine is the quintessence of culture and best represents Chinese culture.

Zhang Guangli thought of this and continued to look at Lu Xuan, listening to him say: "There are two more important aspects of the cultural characteristics of traditional Chinese medicine."

Lu Xuan gestured: "First point, Chinese medicine emphasizes a holistic view and believes that human beings are an organic whole. The organs, meridians, limbs and bones are all interconnected and influence each other.

Therefore, traditional Chinese medicine focuses on the integrity of the human body and the environment.This is consistent with what I just mentioned about Chinese medicine treating sick people.

The second point is that the strength of traditional Chinese medicine lies in syndrome differentiation. It is good at grasping the main contradictions according to the person, time, place and disease. It is not as detailed as Western medicine in dividing labor, so it will not easily lose the overall understanding and grasp.

A good Chinese medicine practitioner must be a general practitioner. "

A good Chinese medicine practitioner must be a general practitioner.

This sentence shocked Zhang Guangli greatly.

He thought carefully, then raised his head, a wry smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

This is easy to say, but very difficult to do.

As far as the current situation of traditional Chinese medicine is concerned, there are not many traditional Chinese medicine doctors who are good at all kinds of medicine. Most of them are good at one or two kinds, and even three or four kinds.

And things like acupuncture or bone setting are basically specialist specialties.

Even a Chinese medicine practitioner who knows Chinese medicine internal medicine can hardly be said to be good at general medicine.

For example, Zhang Guangli himself only has a relatively deep research on kidneys. Although he has dabbled in other aspects, he is not very good at it. He can look at some minor problems, but if the situation is more serious, he is actually not sure.

This was also influenced by his deceased father. He had been exposed to more knowledge in this area since he was a child, so naturally he knew more about it.

Therefore, we later conducted in-depth research on kidneys.

Now that he heard Lu Xuan's words, Zhang Guangli felt that he might have taken the wrong path.

Traditional Chinese medicine is a general medicine from beginning to end. It never considers the disease itself, but the person who has the disease. Treating diseases is not like Western medicine, where you just treat whatever is uncomfortable. Where, but it needs to be considered comprehensively.

I have a headache, maybe for other reasons.

Kidney discomfort may also be related to spleen deficiency.

If your stomach is not good, there may be something wrong with your liver.

……

At this moment, Zhang Guangli thought of a lot.

"Compare here with Western medicine. Western medicine focuses on the disease itself. What they care about is only the physiological function. However, the patient is a human being. This is often ignored, and this has a negative impact on the patient's recovery. It’s very important to say that.”

Lu Xuan smiled and continued: "Besides, as a doctor, the purpose is not only to treat diseases, but also to reduce the patient's pain and psychological burden as much as possible. This is still a different overall concept.

This is not only said by us, but also by some foreign research institutes. Among them, there is a famous research expert in Germany. He said that traditional Chinese medicine is the richest, most organized and most effective medicine. kind of medical science.

I think this assertion is relatively accurate. "

Zhang Guangli fell into deep thought.

I only spent an hour communicating with Lu Xuan, but the information I received was as majestic and vast as the mountains and the sea.

Perhaps these contents do not involve medical theory and skills, but they are the most essential part of the theory of traditional Chinese medicine.

It teaches people how to become a qualified Chinese medicine practitioner, and it also tells them the significance of Chinese medicine, a cultural treasure that has been passed down for thousands of years, and the role it can play.Seeing this, Lu Xuan stopped talking to Zhang Guangli and returned to the topic, Chinese medicine's understanding of kidneys: "Dean Zhang, let's not talk about this. There will be plenty of time to talk in the future, so let's continue the previous topic."

As he spoke, words came out of Zhang Guangli's mouth before he could recover: "When talking about the kidneys, one thing I have to mention is kidney qi. Kidney qi is transformed by kidney essence and is an integral part of the body. Qi is distributed in the kidneys.

Kidney qi contains kidney yin and kidney yang.

Kidney yin has the functions of cooling, calming, and restraining, while kidney yang has the functions of warming, promoting, and exhilarating.Kidney yin and kidney yang are opposites and unified, opposite and complementary to each other. If they are balanced and coordinated, kidney qi will be harmonious.

Kidney yang is the foundation of yang energy in the body. "The yang energy of the five internal organs cannot be released otherwise." It can promote and stimulate various functions of the internal organs and warm the internal organs, body, organs, and orifices of the whole body. When kidney yang is sufficient, the internal organs, body, organs, and orifices can be warmed. Various functions are strong and the spirit is uplifted.

If the kidney yang is weak and the promoting, warming and other functions are withdrawn, the functions of the internal organs will decrease, the energy will be low, and the syndrome of deficiency and cold will occur.

Speaking of this, Dean Zhang should have heard of this person, right? "

"Who?" Zhang Guangli suddenly raised his head.

"Mr. Li."

Zhang Guangli was stunned and didn't seem to think of who it was.

Lu Xuan spat out a sentence: "The one from the Vulcan Sect."

Zhang Guangli suddenly realized: "It turned out to be that person. It's a pity that that person has passed away. Otherwise, it would not be difficult for the Vulcan Sect to develop and grow under his leadership. Moreover, his understanding of Chinese first aid is also very unparalleled."

Speaking of Mr. Li, the first thing Zhang Guangli thought of was Chinese first aid.

That person was able to bring TCM first aid to its peak, and also changed many people's view that TCM was not good at first aid. He played a decisive role in the development and growth of TCM.

Lu Xuan smiled slightly: "Mr. Li once said that all diseases can be cured by the kidneys. Mr. Li often adds them to many kinds of prescriptions to encourage kidney qi. Only when kidney qi is sufficient can the disease be easily cured."

"Speaking of this, I think of the four kidney flavors mentioned by Mr. Li."

Zhang Guangli responded: "The four medicines enter the liver and kidneys. Their medicinal properties are peaceful, warm but not drying, moistening but not greasy. They nourish kidney essence, stimulate kidney qi, warm yang without the disadvantages of cinnamon, and nourish yin without the disadvantages of cooked earth."

"There is yang in yin, and yin in yang, which is consistent with Jing Yuegong." Those who are good at nourishing yang must seek yang from yin, then yang will be helped by yin and have an inexhaustible source; those who are good at nourishing yin must seek yin from yang. Then the yin will rise and the yang will rise, and the life and transformation will be infinite." Lu Xuan talked eloquently.

"Corresponding to kidney yang is kidney yin. Kidney yin is the foundation of yin energy in the body. "The yin energy in the five internal organs cannot be nourished without this." It can calm and inhibit various functions of the internal organs, cool and moisturize the internal organs, body, and orifices of the whole body. .

When kidney yin is sufficient, the organs, body, organs, and orifices are cooled and moistened, their functions are strong but not excessive, and the spirit is kept internally.If the kidney yin is insufficient and the inhibitory, calming, cooling and moistening effects are reduced, it will lead to hyperactivity due to deficiency of organ function, restlessness due to deficiency of the spirit, and deficiency-heat syndrome. "

Having said this, Lu Xuan paused and continued: "When it comes to kidney yin and kidney yang, we have to mention kidney essence. Kidney essence is also called yuan essence or true essence.

The kidneys are valued because they store innate essence. Therefore, kidney essence, kidney qi and their differentiated kidney yin and kidney yang are called the foundation of the body's life activities. Kidney yin and kidney yang are also called "the foundation of yin and yang of the five internal organs".

Physiologically, there is a dynamic relationship of mutual support and mutual use between the essence, qi, yin and yang of the kidneys and the essence, qi, yin and yang of other organs.Pathologically, the two also influence each other.Insufficient essence, qi, yin, and yang in each organ will eventually affect the kidneys, so there is a saying that "long-term disease affects the kidneys." "

"If there is a problem with kidney qi and kidney essence, the body will also have corresponding symptoms?" Zhang Guangli asked.

Lu Xuan nodded and said: "If the kidney qi is sealed, the essence will be full and the human body will be full of vitality. If the kidney qi is not sealed properly, there will be slippery semen, wheezing, enuresis, and even urinary incontinence, excessive sweating, slippery stools, and women. Belly, metrorrhagia, tire slip, etc.

"Pediatric Medicine Zhijue·Treatment of Pulse Syndrome" says: "The kidney governs deficiency and has no reality."

This fully reflects the clinical significance of the physiological properties of kidney master storage.Keeping the position means that the phase fire (kidney yang) in the kidney is hidden and not exposed, so as to exert its warming, promoting and other functions.

The phase fire is relative to the king fire.King fire is heart yang, the physiological fire of the heart, also known as heart fire; relative to heart fire, the fires of other internal organs are called phase fire.

Under the physiological state, the yang energy in each organ is called "less fire"; under the pathological state, the excessive fire in each organ is called "strong fire".

The phase fire of the liver has different names according to the different organs in which it is located. The phase fire of the liver is called "thunder fire", and the phase fire of the kidney is called "dragon fire".

The relationship between the king fire and the phase fire is: "The king fire is for clarity, and the phase fire is for position."

"Su Wen·Tian Yuan Ji Da Lun") said: "That is, the king's fire is in the heart, which is responsible for bringing out the gods, and the key is to make it clear; the prime fire is in the liver and kidneys, to give orders and execute orders, and to hide and guard the position is the key." That is the so-called dragon. Diving under the sea, thunder is sent to the surface.

When the mind is clear and the life activities of the body are orderly and stable, the phase fire is naturally hidden and guarded to exert its warming, stimulating and other functions; the kidney yin is sufficient to nourish the phase fire, and the phase fire is hidden in the kidneys and does not rise up.

The food kidney is located in the lower part of the human body, and its Qi should rise.

Kidney qi contains two parts: kidney yin and kidney yang.

Kidney yang incites kidney yin, transforms into kidney qi, rises, interacts with the heart qi located in the upper part of the human body, and maintains the coordination of the upper and lower parts of the human body.

If the kidney yin is insufficient, it cannot activate the heart yin to control the heart fire, which may lead to excessive heart fire; if the kidney yang is weak, it cannot encourage the kidney yin to activate the heart yin to control the heart fire, which may also lead to excessive heart fire. Clinically, Symptoms such as upset and insomnia are common.

The former should nourish kidney yin, while the latter should nourish kidney yang.

Kidney essence, kidney qi, kidney yin and kidney yang are all concepts with relatively independent connotations, and their deficiency and pathogenesis also have their own characteristics.

There is a difference between kidney essence deficiency and kidney yin deficiency: the former is a deficiency of essence without heat signs; the latter is a deficiency of the yin part of kidney qi and must have heat signs.

Kidney qi deficiency is different from kidney yang deficiency: the former is a deficiency of kidney yin and kidney yang in equal proportions, and there is no sign of cold or heat; the latter is a deficiency of the yang part of kidney qi, and cold signs are seen.

There are not many records about kidneys in Chinese medicine, and there are also many medical books with a lot of content. However, although the content is the same, everyone has a different understanding, just like the same story, different people will have different views after reading it. The understanding is the same, but it remains the same. The understanding is different, but the destination is the same. The only difference between people who have extremely high attainments in this field is that some people understand it more superficially, while others understand it more clearly. Rather profound.

The former is not as good as the latter. Naturally, it is not as good as the latter when it comes to diagnosis and syndrome differentiation.

However, I have only scratched the surface. If I wanted to tell all the details about kidneys, I am afraid it would be difficult to explain clearly in less than ten days and a half. "

Lu Xuan, after saying this, smiled slightly and said: "The day after tomorrow I will go to Hui'an Pharmacy for a consultation. I plan to conduct a free clinic there without any charge. If Director Zhang is free, you can go there. Sit down and let’s discuss medical theory together.”

Hui'an free clinic?

"Hui'an Pharmacy?" Zhang Guangli thought of the only possibility.

Lu Xuan nodded: "Well, I received an invitation from Hui'an Pharmacy before I came here. I didn't plan to go, but their manager talked about half-price Chinese medicine. This is for the benefit of patients. Naturally, I won't refuse, but it's not covered by medical insurance. Reimbursement is more or less expensive.”

"Doctor Lu can come to our county hospital of traditional Chinese medicine for consultation!" Zhang Guangli's first reaction was to invite Lu Xuan to the county hospital of traditional Chinese medicine for consultation. Although he did not have much contact with Lu Xuan, even if it was just a few hours, he was very interested in him. Lu Xuan already has some understanding of his abilities.

Huang Beishan said that Lu Xuan had better medical skills than him. Zhang Guangli didn't believe it at first, but now he really believes what Huang Beishan said.

This young man seemed to be born for Chinese medicine.
