519: 519 519: 519 Looking at Qin Han, who had finished speaking and stood quietly on the podium, Sun Pinghui nodded in agreent in his heart.
dicine and philosophy!
Well said, philosophy encompasses the principles of all things, and Traditional Chinese dicine uses the principles of all things to heal and save lives.
It’s not uncommon for people to know that philosophy is embedded in Traditional Chinese dicine, but there are very few who can articulate the connection between dicine and philosophy.
Sun Pinghui believed that after today’s lecture, this group of students would definitely have a new understanding of dicine, both in the concept of practicing dicine and the thodology of learning.
It seed that Qin Han’s dical attainnts must have improved again.
Sun Pinghui wondered if he had reached the realm of a “dical Emperor.”
“Our five organs and six viscera correspond to the five elents and interact with each other through generation and inhibition.
A balanced Yin and Yang in the human body ans health; an imbalance leads to sickness,”
“This theory of Yin and Yang, in fact, uses the laws of unity of opposites and mutual complentation between things to judge and analyze a person’s physiological and pathological conditions, and then to provide the appropriate treatnt.” Qin Han saw that the attitude of the audience had changed a lot and nodded with satisfaction, continuing to speak.
At that mont, Qin Han saw a female student raise her hand and nodded to her, signaling her to ask her question.
“Teacher, many people think these theories are very esoteric and unclear.
For example, the so-called ridians in Traditional Chinese dicine cannot actually be found.
Traditional Chinese dicine is not recognized by many people precisely because many aspects of it have not been scientifically validated!”
The female student spoke earnestly, “I’m not questioning our Traditional Chinese dicine, but I am troubled by this issue!”
Qin Han also knew that issues like these couldn’t be proven theoretically by these students, or even by the old professors.
He then nodded, smiled faintly, and continued:
“Actually, it can be explained clearly.”
“Take, for instance, the theory of Yin and Yang and the five elents.
What does the liver correspond to, what does the stomach correspond to?
It seems like there’s no basis, but that’s because you’re not using life anatomy as a foundation.”
“That’s why I propose a concept: introspective anatomy.
Introspective is a term used in Buddhism in our country, ant for quietly observing the relationships between the five organs and six viscera and the circulation of Qi and blood.”
“Why do we say ridians can’t be found?
ridians are the flow of Qi and blood, which can only be manifested in the living body, and obviously can’t be found in a corpse.
This is our own life science, which has had its own set of scientific theories for a long ti.”
“Traditional Chinese dicine aims to mobilize the body’s own self-healing capabilities to the fullest extent rather than relying on external forces such as dications and surgery to solve problems.
Many hoopathy and natural therapies have erged in the West, basically adopting the concepts of Traditional Chinese dicine, such as avoiding dication and using physical therapies like massage, acupressure, and acupuncture instead, trying to identify the cause of illness rather than just addressing its surface symptoms.”
After Qin Han had finished, the room fell into silence once again.
Qin Han also gave them so ti to think.
Turning his head, he glanced at Sun Pinghui and noticed Sun Pinghui giving him a thumbs up.
Qin Han rolled his eyes at Sun Pinghui and then turned back to the female student in front of him.
An expression of contemplation appeared on the female student’s face, and after a while, she finally said, “I’ve learned a lot from what the teacher just said.”
Qin Han signaled for the female student to sit down, and just as she did, another student raised a hand and stood up.
“Dr.
Qin, I have a question that I would like your help in understanding.
There’s a saying, ‘Without seeking treatnt, one often relies on Traditional Chinese dicine.’ How should this be understood?”
A look of appreciation crossed Qin Han’s face.
This student’s question clearly showed a certain depth of understanding, proving that the student must have done a significant amount of reading on dical literature.
Qin Han then said with a smile, “Why is it called Traditional Chinese dicine?”
“Modern people understand it as the na derived from our nation’s dical skills, which of course I don’t object to.
But you should understand it fundantally!
This phrase cited by the student cos from ‘Han Shu.
Yi Wen Zhi.
Fang Ji Lve,’ specifically from the section on dical formulas.
‘Without seeking treatnt, one often relies on Traditional Chinese dicine.'”
“Traditional Chinese dicine is not just about curing illnesses, but about maintaining health and treating people—the primary goal is to treat the person, and the second is to cure the disease.
Qian Dazhao from the Qing dynasty even ntioned, ‘True traditional Chinese dicine doesn’t rely on dicine.’
“The ‘traditional Chinese dicine’ being discussed here isn’t the contemporary understanding of the term, but rather the traditional concept from within the Dragon Nation, which includes upper, middle, and lower dicine—’the upper heals the state, the middle heals the person, the lower heals the illness.’ Upper dicine prevents disease, middle dicine treats impending illness, and lower dicine treats established diseases.”
“This middle dicine is about balance, maintaining a state of moderate evenness.
Our goal in health maintenance is to seek this balance, this moderate evenness.”
Qin Han deeply felt the state of the students studying traditional Chinese dicine; they knew a lot of knowledge, but due to educational reasons, very few of them truly understood the principles of dicine.
Now, Qin Han seed to be increasing the solidity of their foundation!
“Dr.
Qin, am I right in thinking that what you’ve just said ans that traditional Chinese dicine should practice certain philosophies more often than just treating illnesses?”
At this mont, a professor sitting in the front row raised his hand to ask a question.
Qin Han didn’t look at the person; he knew that this individual was most likely educated abroad and filled with Western ways of thinking.
However, since it was an academic discussion, Qin Han certainly wouldn’t lose his temper and, smiling, said:
“Do you know about traditional Chinese dicine being the ‘study of life’ within traditional Chinese culture?”
Hearing Qin Han’s counter-question, the professor nodded his head.
He wasn’t looking to make things difficult for Qin Han but was just a bit puzzled and replied, “I have heard of it.”
“Teacher, can you explain it to us?” The students below, also curious, asked upon hearing this.
When Qin Han heard the professor say so, he knew that the man had not grasped the true aning of the phrase.
So, he nodded and said, “What I was discussing earlier was all about how traditional Chinese dicine is the ‘study of life’ within traditional Chinese culture.”
“The latter ‘life’ refers to life itself, with the preceding ‘life’ serving as a verb, to emphasize the continuation of life, how to prolong life and live healthier and longer.”
“In traditional Chinese culture, traditional Chinese dicine has been defined as the ‘tools of life,’ comprising various tools and thods to maintain the health and beauty of life.”
“It is also said, ‘Dietary therapy is better than dical therapy,’ which is the sa principle.”
While Qin Han was lecturing at the University of Traditional Chinese dicine, Zhong Wanshan had arrived at the Qin Family dical Hall, looking at Zhong Yuanliang standing in front of the door, his irritation imdiately flared up.
Zhong Yuanliang had been back for three days, and if it weren’t for Zhong Wanshan calling Zhang Henian to inquire about Zhang Yalin’s condition just then, he wouldn’t have known Zhong Yuanliang had already returned.
Observing Zhong Wanshan’s furious deanor, Zhong Yuanliang hurriedly put on a smile and said, “Grandpa, you’re here!
Co in!”
He then turned back and shouted toward Zhang Yalin, “Wife, brew a cup of tea for the old master!” While speaking, he kept winking at Zhang Yalin.
Instantly understanding Zhong Yuanliang’s intention, Zhang Yalin quickly rose and ca to the door, about to speak when Zhong Wanshan said, “Take it slow!
Take it slow!
You’re not a little girl anymore, be careful, no need for tea, I’ll leave after I handle my business!
Go back and rest.”
Following that, Zhong Wanshan told Zhong Yuanliang, “Co with to the back garden!”
Once the two entered the back garden, everyone in the dical hall heard a surge of grunting noises.
About fifteen minutes later, Zhong Wanshan returned to the hall, looking very pleased with himself, and left a remark, “Co ho for dinner tonight!” before departing.
