Chapter 736: Answering questions fluently, the test of the director of the Chinese Medicine Hospital
"Yes, my grandfather is a Chinese medicine practitioner, but he was just a small one in the village. Although I studied Western medicine in college, because of my interest, I audited many courses at the College of Traditional Chinese Medicine. I even took two elective courses taught by Dean Wang, namely, "Chinese Materia Medica Formulae" and "Chinese Medicine Psychology", which benefited me a lot." Chen Yang answered seriously. He spoke the truth and had no intention of flattering anyone.
"Really? Then let me ask you, do you know the four great classics of traditional Chinese medicine? Do you understand them?" Dean Wang Dachun asked, looking into Chen Yang's eyes.
He did not question the authenticity of Chen Yang's treatment of vegetative state right away, but wanted to test the waters to see how profound Chen Yang's attainments in traditional Chinese medicine were.
If you only have a half-baked knowledge, the truth will be self-evident.
"Of course I have read it, and I have read each book more than once. I have memorized them by heart and can recite them by heart." Chen Yang replied confidently.
As soon as he said this, there was a burst of booing from all around.
"He knows it by heart, and he can even recite it backwards. This guy brags without thinking! He dares to say anything."
"I'm afraid he doesn't even know what the Four Great Classics of Traditional Chinese Medicine are. Let's see how Dean Wang will slap him in the face."
……
It’s no wonder that everyone sneered, but the four famous classics of traditional Chinese medicine are indeed profound and complex.
These four masterpieces are Huangdi Neijing, Nanjing, Shanghan Zabing Lun and Shennong Herbal Classic. Each of them is hard to understand and contains a vast amount of Chinese medicine knowledge. If you are proficient in any of these four masterpieces, you can become a Chinese medicine practitioner.
If you are proficient in both books, you can become a master of Chinese medicine.
If you are proficient in all three books, you can be called a famous Chinese medicine practitioner.
If you master all four books, you will be invincible and can be called a miracle doctor.
As the president of the Jiangnan Province Chinese Medicine Association, Wang Dachun is known as the number one Chinese medicine practitioner in Jiangnan Province. However, he can only be barely called a famous Chinese medicine practitioner, and is still a long way from being a miracle doctor.
Chen Yang said that he knew all four famous books by heart and could recite them by heart, which meant that he was proficient in all four books and was invincible. He could be called a miracle doctor and was one level higher than Dean Wang Dachun.
If he said he was not bragging, I'm afraid no one would believe it except himself.
Amid the doubts of the crowd, Chen Yang continued:
"The four great masterpieces of Chinese medicine are the foundation of Chinese medicine. The Yellow Emperor's Canon of Internal Medicine, based on Taoist theories, laid the foundation for the Five Elements Theory, Pulse Theory, Meridian Theory, and other theories of Chinese medicine; the Difficult Classic is divided into 81 difficulties, with the purpose of the Internal Classic, analyzing and answering questions, and expounding medical principles; the Treatise on Febrile and Miscellaneous Diseases established the basic principles and methods of clinical diagnosis and treatment of Chinese medicine; and the Shennong Herbal Classic is a masterpiece of Chinese medicine and a holy book on the use of medicine."
"Well, not bad." Wang Dachun nodded in appreciation and asked, "Then let me ask you, what are the Six Classics?"
"The theory of six meridians originated from the six meridians diagnosis method in the "Treatise on Febrile and Miscellaneous Diseases", which mainly include Taiyang, Yangming, Shaoyang, Taiyin, Shaoyin and Jueyin, also known as the three yin and three yang meridians." Chen Yang said without thinking.
"Then what are the five evils?" Wang Dachun continued to ask.
Chen Yang continued to speak: "In the 49th Difficulty of the Difficult Classic, the five evils are stroke, heatstroke, overeating and fatigue, cold, and dampness. In the 50th Difficulty of the Difficult Classic, the five evils are virtual evil, real evil, evil thief, micro evil, and positive evil. In the Lingshu chapter, the five evils refer to the pathogenic evils of the five internal organs, namely liver evil, heart evil, spleen evil, lung evil, and kidney evil."
A hint of surprise flashed across Dean Wang Dachun's face, and his expression gradually became solemn.
Although the questions he asked were all basic questions with ready-made answers in the books, Chen Yang was able to answer them fluently and even point out the sources, which showed that he had some knowledge and must have read the four famous classics of traditional Chinese medicine and had a very deep memory.
It is said that the four great classics of traditional Chinese medicine are the pillow books of Chen Yang’s grandfather Chen Qingshan. Chen Qingshan’s medical skills were mainly learned from these four books.
Chen Yang would read the books when he had nothing to do, and would ask his grandfather for help when he didn't understand something. He didn't know how many times he had read these four books since he was a child. It was a bit ridiculous to say that he could recite them by heart, but it was definitely true that he knew them by heart.
Later, he inherited the medical knowledge from the ancestor Xuanhuang, and gained a deeper understanding of Chinese medicine from a high-level perspective.
"Taiyin and Yangming are the exterior and interior, the spleen and stomach meridians, why are they different when they are sick?" Wang Dachun continued to ask.
"Yin and Yang are in different positions, more empty or more solid, more contrary or more obedient, or from the inside, or from the outside, the sources are different, so the diseases have different names." Chen Yang answered directly.
……
"How many folk remedies for headaches are there in Shennong Herbal Classic? What are they?"
"What is the recipe for Guizhi Decoction in Treatise on Febrile and Miscellaneous Diseases? What diseases can it cure?"
"If someone has a weak spleen and stomach and strong liver fire, how should they use medicine? How should they take care of their body?"
"What does the Yellow Emperor's Classic of Internal Medicine Volume 29, Su Wen, talk about? Can you summarize it in your own words?"
……
Seeing that Chen Yang answered questions fluently and could give answers to the questions without thinking, Dean Wang Dachun also became excited. He asked questions one after another, and they became more and more tricky, bitter and difficult to understand.
There were some seniors from the College of Traditional Chinese Medicine present, some of whom even obtained master's and doctoral degrees. They were all stunned by what they heard. They were asked to answer these questions, but they could not do so without looking up books.
But Chen Yang was calm and composed, with a confident look on his face. He spoke freely and fluently, as if all the knowledge points were engraved in his head. When Chen Yang answered the last question, everyone in the audience fell silent. There was a silence on the scene.
Everyone looked at Chen Yang in amazement.
He is not boasting and he cannot push a train. The young man is indeed talented in Chinese medicine and has mastered a lot of Chinese medicine knowledge from books.
"Good, good. It seems that you have really studied Chinese medicine and read a lot of Chinese medicine books. You are better than those graduate students and even doctoral students I supervise. It is not easy for young people to have such a deep knowledge of Chinese medicine." Dean Wang Dachun praised, with a smile on his face, and he was very pleased.
The field of traditional Chinese medicine is now in a period of transition, with only a few old-timers left to support the industry. The younger generation is weak and has made few achievements.
This is also one of the reasons why everyone only trusts old Chinese medicine practitioners, because the younger generation of Chinese medicine practitioners are really not good enough.
But he saw hope again in Chen Yang.
The younger generation in the field of traditional Chinese medicine is not completely useless!
"but……"
Then, he changed the subject: "Chinese medicine focuses on practice and relieving patients' pain. If you only know these theoretical knowledge but cannot apply it in practice, you cannot be considered a real Chinese medicine practitioner."
"What Dean Wang said is very true. Empty talk will ruin the country. Only practice can bring true knowledge." Chen Yang nodded, agreeing with Dean Wang Dachun's words, and then pointed at Su Yaxuan, with a smile on his face, and continued, "It's this lady. I just found that she didn't look good, so I diagnosed her casually. I found that she had a variety of gynecological diseases, endocrine disorders, pelvic inflammation, dysmenorrhea and irregular menstruation, and gonorrhea, which has not been cured so far. Moreover, she had two abortions, and her endometrium is extremely thin, so it is almost impossible for her to get pregnant. But no one present was willing to believe me. They all accused me of slander, attacked me personally, and even called the police to arrest me. Since Dean Wang is here, why not help her diagnose and see if my diagnosis is correct or not, and whether I am only capable of talking on paper. And I am willing to be responsible for my diagnosis. If there is a mistake in the diagnosis, I am willing to be charged with defamation."
As soon as Chen Yang said this, the whole audience was in an uproar again!
This brat is really good at diverting trouble away from others!
No one believed his diagnosis results, but if Wang Dachun gave a diagnosis, everyone would have to believe it even if they did not believe it, because Wang Dachun was the leader of the traditional Chinese medicine community in Jiangnan Province and the number one traditional Chinese medicine practitioner.
Being able to serve as the president of the Provincial Association of Traditional Chinese Medicine is no small feat.
Swish swish!
Every pair of eyes at the scene looked at Su Yaxuan, with expectation in their eyes.
Although everyone believed that she was wrongly accused, a diagnosis would be more convincing. It could also severely slap Chen Yang in the face and even sue him for defamation.
"Oh?"
With doubts, Dean Wang Dachun also looked at Su Yaxuan, wanting to see what kind of woman she was who suffered from so many gynecological diseases.
"You are bad boy."
Senior Qingyun covered her mouth and giggled, then gently pinched Chen Yang's waist, full of love.
She had 100% confidence in Chen Yang's diagnosis results and there was absolutely no question of wrongly accusing anyone or slandering him.
Chen Yang once discovered a cyst in her fallopian tube just by looking with his eyes. He is simply an expert.
"Ah, you..., bastard. What does this have to do with me? Why are you bringing this up to me again?" Su Yaxuan was so angry that she started to curse. Her cheeks instantly turned red with shame, and she was about to go crazy. She never expected that Wang Dachun and Chen Yang were just asking and answering each other, but suddenly the topic turned to her, making her the focus of the whole audience again.
It's time to reveal the secret!
It’s true that when people sit at home, disaster comes from heaven!
"Didn't you say that I slandered you? It's for your own good to let Dean Wang diagnose you. If you are not sick, you will be cleared of all charges. If you are sick, I will be cleared of all charges." Chen Yang smiled faintly, looking harmless.
Dean Wang Dachun's eyes were fixed on Su Yaxuan. He first observed her words and expressions and found that the woman looked very bad, her qi and blood were weak, and her body was in a sub-healthy state. Even several layers of foundation could not hide her pale base color. She should be suffering from gynecological diseases.
However, just looking at it with your eyes does not provide much useful information and it is impossible to determine what specific gynecological disease a woman has.
As for having suffered from gonorrhea and having had two abortions, there is no information to prove it.
Unless this woman is willing to let him take her pulse.
Among the four-character motto of diagnosis of "look, listen, ask, and palpate", the most important one is feeling the pulse, which can obtain the most useful information.
The key point is that Chen Yang didn't even take the woman's pulse. He just used his eyes to see that this woman had a lot of gynecological diseases.
Sit down!
This is also the gap between famous traditional Chinese medicine practitioners and miraculous doctors.
