Siheyuan: My Northeastern Farmhouse

Chapter 338 To be corrected

"What did you hear?" Gu Weijun was a little curious.

Gu's mother lowered her voice a little lower and whispered in Gu Weijun's ear: "I heard from your dad that the country is going to rectify the name of traditional Chinese medicine!"

"Your dad is in a very good mood these days."

Gu Weijun's eyes lit up. Could it be that my manuscript showed its power?
Gu Weijun's brows were filled with joy, "Then I'll have to ask the master and my father later."

"Go quickly!" Gu's mother patted Gu Weijun on the back, "I think you can't sit still."

"Hey!"

Gu Weijun rushed to Beichizi Street as quickly as possible. As soon as he entered the courtyard gate, he heard bursts of hearty laughter coming from the middle courtyard.

As soon as he passed through the hanging flower door, Gu Weijun saw that the cotton door curtain of his house, the main room in the middle courtyard, had been raised, and a bunch of people were warming themselves over the fire, drinking tea, and thinking about the development of traditional Chinese medicine.

Among them are not only Gu's father and master Lu Bingkui, but also Guan Youbo, a famous doctor in the capital, and others.

"Has your job been restored?"

In addition, the national financial allocation does not need to be on a scale of 1:1. Western medicine should account for more, 3:2, or 2:1, right?

Then he cupped his fists and saluted everyone present, "Hello, uncles and elders!"

"Master, tell me quickly, what happened?"

"In the future, we must increase our investment in traditional Chinese medicine and vigorously strengthen the development of traditional Chinese medicine and traditional Chinese medicine!"

"Really!" Gu Weijun pretended to be very excited, "This is great!"

Then Gansu's health department issued a response immediately. Liu Weizhong, then director of the Gansu Health Department, especially spoke loudly in newspapers, demanding equal treatment.

This article achieved two effects as soon as it was published. One effect was that no one shouted at Chinese medicine practitioners anymore; the other effect was that it attracted the attention of senior officials.

Master Lu Bingkui smiled so hard that he ordered his family members to get stools to pour tea, while introducing to several famous doctors from the capital around him, "Brother Youbo, I have seen him before. This is my disciple, Gu Weijun, now Works at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs."

Those who study Chinese medicine are all learning Western medicine and are inclusive. Why can’t those who study Western medicine study Chinese medicine and be equally inclusive?

Then he gave examples of the advantages of Western medicine and Chinese medicine, etc.
There is also a conflict of interests between Western medicine and Chinese medicine in the country. Western medicine denies Chinese medicine and attacks Chinese medicine in order to get more state support, that is, funding.

After Gansu issued the article, provincial newspapers in many provinces in the northwest and northeast also published articles calling for the promotion of traditional Chinese medicine.

"Dad!" Gu Weijun greeted Dad Gu and Master first, "Master!"

"Thank you." After sitting down and taking the tea cup, Gu Weijun smiled and asked Master Lu Bingkui, "Master, what can make you so happy?"

Good guy, it's so naked, how can you write about the appropriation?
In short, one article stirred up a thousand waves. You must know that this era is very sensitive to capitalists and elements.

"This will allow our Chinese medicine to be recognized again!"

As soon as he saw Gu Weijun, the master hurriedly waved, "Dajun, you are back. Quick, add a stool to Dajun and pour a cup of tea, let him listen and be happy together!"

It’s similar to what Gu Ma said, but it’s a lot more complicated and twists and turns.

"No, my job is a trivial matter." The master smiled and denied Gu Weijun's guess, and immediately gave the answer, "The country has finally recognized our traditional Chinese medicine!"

The impact is even greater now
The top management has always supported the development of traditional Chinese medicine. When the People's Republic of China was first founded, they dealt with a group of people who excluded traditional Chinese medicine and refused to issue medical qualification certificates to doctors of traditional Chinese medicine.

I didn’t expect that a batch of them had already been processed. How come it’s still more than ten years later? Check!
At the same time, they called Master Lu Bingkui to report, and after conducting a detailed investigation, the senior management came to the conclusion that someone had indeed taken the opportunity to cause trouble.

There is indeed a phenomenon of squeezing out traditional Chinese medicine. Then just today, a formal document was released to rectify the name of traditional Chinese medicine: Traditional Chinese medicine and traditional Chinese medicine are precious knowledge and experience inheritance accumulated by the hard-working Chinese people in their lives and in their fight against diseases for more than 2000 years.

Traditional Chinese medicine and traditional Chinese medicine cannot simply be attributed to the Four Olds.

Instead, we need to increase and deepen the inheritance of traditional Chinese medicine and traditional Chinese medicine to better serve the Chinese people.

Moreover, the department that had been transformed into the Office of Management of Traditional Chinese and Western Medicine was renamed: Department of Traditional Chinese Medicine, and the level was raised by half a level to deputy ministerial level, managed separately from Western Medicine. The master once again served as deputy minister and concurrently as director. .

After hearing this, Gu Weijun put his hands on his hands and smiled, "Master, this can be said to be a double blessing!"

Although the master is still smiling, his understanding is still very clear, "Dajun, although our Chinese medicine doctors have been rectified by the country."

"But TCM itself does have many problems."

Speaking of this, the master let out a long sigh: "The biggest problem is that there are too many schools of traditional Chinese medicine: typhoid fever, warming and tonic, etc."

"Everyone has their own reasons, and there is no unified standard."

"This has a very big impact on the inheritance of traditional Chinese medicine, and this is one of them."

The master paused for a moment, then added: "Secondly, some of the previous Chinese medicine doctors were both good and bad. Sometimes they even used a lot of weird theories or things like witch doctors to mislead patients, and even used them to mislead patients. Cure.”

"Whether it is effective or not is not yet said, but it has also seriously affected the scientific nature and authority of traditional Chinese medicine."

The master then faced Guan Youbo and several famous doctors, "So, old friends, can we jointly call on everyone to sort it out?"

"Make Chinese medicine scientific!"

"Let's put aside the issue of schools for the time being. Let's study together what science our ancestors included in traditional Chinese medicine."

"Only by becoming scientific can our traditional Chinese medicine be passed on properly and go further!"

Finally, 20 years later in the new century, it was strongly recognized and promoted by the country.

After listening to his master's words, Gu Weijun added a few more words. As a medical student in later generations, he is very aware of the difficulties in promoting traditional Chinese medicine in later generations, and he also knows several difficulties. "Master, because I learned Chinese medicine in elementary school, I started memorizing medicinal properties and four hundred flavors, and then when I got older, I systematically studied Western medicine or modern medicine."

"The reason why it is difficult for us to promote traditional Chinese medicine is actually cultural. It is the two cultural systems of the East and the West: Western medicine is very intuitive from the anatomy, internal organs, bones and muscles."

"Traditional Chinese medicine emphasizes the unity of nature and man, and the dialectics of yin and yang and the five elements."

"It's easy for beginners to get confused and mistake it for feudal superstition, so they can only rely on the traditional model of master-disciple transmission."

"So, on the one hand, we still need to strengthen cultural propaganda; on the other hand, we also need to lower the threshold and don't do anything high-key."

"For example, the "Barefoot Doctor's Handbook" is very good, sorting out the treatments and medications for common diseases."

"We can go one step further and explain the principles a little bit, so as to attract more comrades who are interested in traditional Chinese medicine to take the initiative to learn."

"It's not just in schools that we can study traditional Chinese medicine."

After Gu Weijun finished his speech, he received applause from all the famous Chinese medicine doctors in the room, including Lu Bingkui.

Lu Bingkui cheered repeatedly, "Okay, then let's work on both sides!"

In the dead of night, as Guan Youbo and others said goodbye, Gu's father and Gu Weijun also returned home together, and Beichizi Street fell into peace again.

At this time, next to a mailbox outside the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, a sneaky figure secretly dropped a letter and disappeared in an instant.
