Chinese medicine: from rural hospitals to top three hospitals in Kyoto

"The proposed prescription is: Poria and Sini Decoction combined with Zhenwu Decoction and Ginseng, Aconite, Dragon Bone and Oyster Shell Decoction, with modifications."

This formula cleverly combines the warming and rescuing properties of Fuling Si Ni Tang, the warming and diuretic properties of Zhenwu Tang, the restoring and consolidating properties of Shenfu Tang, and the calming and tranquilizing properties of Longgu Muli. It also adds Guizhi to promote Yang, Danshen to invigorate blood, and Wuweizi to astringe Qi. It can be said to combine warming, tonifying, astringing, calming, diuretic, and invigorating properties in one pot. The formula is rigorous and follows strict rules.

"Great prescription!"

Below the stage, Mr. Lu Yuanmin couldn't help but exclaim in a low voice, his eyes gleaming: "Aconite, dried ginger, and red ginseng restore yang and rescue from collapse; Poria and Atractylodes macrocephala strengthen the spleen and promote diuresis; Dragon bone and oyster shell astringe and calm floating yang; Cinnamon twig and Salvia miltiorrhiza promote yang and invigorate blood; Schisandra chinensis astringes qi and yin... It covers all aspects and directly targets the pathogenesis! With this prescription, Old Master Zhou is saved!"

Wu Yongping nodded emphatically, deeply moved.

In such a short period of time, faced with such a complex and critical condition, Chen Yang was not only able to make an accurate diagnosis, but also to quickly provide such a comprehensive, potent, and rigorous prescription. This skill is truly amazing!

Looking at the prescription on the big screen and recalling Chen Yang's diagnosis, Cheng Yi's last bit of resentment vanished, leaving only deep admiration.

He asked himself, under those circumstances, there was absolutely no way he could have come up with such a miraculous prescription so quickly and accurately.

Zhuang Qiwen and the others were even more excited. Director Chen had once again demonstrated what a "Yang Shen" was!

Although the family members did not understand traditional Chinese medicine, seeing the expressions of the experts below the stage and Chen Yang's calm and confident demeanor, they felt as if they had grasped a lifeline and thanked him repeatedly.

The prescription was immediately sent to be prepared and decocted urgently.

Chen Yang didn't stop there. He then explained the precautions to the doctors and family members in the clinic: "After taking the medicine, closely monitor changes in sweating, body temperature, blood pressure, and heart rate. You may also experience a large amount of clear, watery urine, which is a good sign that the Yang energy is returning and the dampness is being eliminated. Pay attention to keeping warm and absolutely avoid exposure to wind and cold..."

After everything was arranged, Chen Yang faced the audience again.

Inside the auditorium, thunderous applause erupted and lasted for a long time!

This applause is a testament to Chen Yang's superb medical skills, an admiration for his composure and courage in the face of danger, and an expression of excitement and pride that traditional Chinese medicine can handle such a critical and severe illness!

At the end of the lecture, Chen Yang gave a brief summary.

"Today, through case studies and the clinical practice we just discussed, we explored the breakthroughs and boundaries of TCM thinking."

"What I want to say is that traditional Chinese medicine is a huge treasure trove, and what we have discovered and applied so far may only be the tip of the iceberg. There are still countless unknowns waiting for us to explore."

"This path requires courage, wisdom, and a sense of responsibility. It also requires every practitioner of traditional Chinese medicine to be down-to-earth, to study diligently, and to maintain an open and critical mindset. We must not blindly believe in authority, nor be bound by sectarianism, nor be afraid of difficulties, nor underestimate the ordinary."

"I believe that as long as we adhere to the principle of 'treatment first,' inherit the classics with an open mind, face clinical practice with a rigorous attitude, and promote development with an innovative spirit, the future of traditional Chinese medicine will be even broader, and it will make a greater contribution to human health!"

Chen Yang's concluding remarks were powerful and resounding, filled with unwavering confidence and a bright outlook for the future of traditional Chinese medicine.

The entire audience rose to their feet, and thunderous applause echoed throughout the auditorium for a long time.

After the lecture, Chen Yang was once again surrounded by an enthusiastic crowd.

Many students held up notebooks asking for autographs, his peers vied to talk to him, and media reporters also crowded around to interview him.

"Director Chen, your lecture today was wonderful!"

"Director Chen, what advice do you have for the development of young TCM doctors?"

"Director Chen, what are your views on the future of integrating traditional Chinese and Western medicine?"

Chen Yang patiently responded to each question, his attitude humble and his words witty.

Wu Yongping and Lu Yuanmin stood aside, watching Chen Yang surrounded by the crowd, filled with emotion.

"The next generation is to be feared, the next generation is to be feared!"

Lu Yuanmin exclaimed repeatedly, "This young man not only possesses extraordinary medical skills, but more importantly, he has a broad mind and a grand vision. Given time, he will surely become a leading figure in the medical field!"

Wu Yongping wholeheartedly agreed: "After this lecture and the previous competition, many doctors in our hospital, especially the young ones, have been greatly impacted and inspired. This will be of great benefit to the future development of our hospital."

"Yes, it seems that we old bones need to move around more, so we don't fall behind," Lu Yuanmin said with a smile.

On the other side, Zhuang Qiwen, Yu Shiyun, and others were surrounded by many classmates and doctors from scattered provinces, exchanging their experiences in a harmonious atmosphere.

That afternoon, good news arrived.

Professor Zhou's symptoms significantly improved after taking the prescription written by Chen Yang. His sweating stopped, nausea disappeared, chest tightness and shortness of breath were greatly reduced, urination became smooth, and his blood pressure, heart rate, and blood oxygen levels stabilized. His family and school leaders called to express their heartfelt gratitude to Chen Yang.

This news brought Chen Yang's trip to the province of bulk goods to a perfect end.

With the lecture over, Chen Yang and his group's trip to the bulk goods province also came to a successful conclusion.

Before their departure, Wu Yongping, Lu Yuanmin, and others hosted another farewell banquet for Chen Yang's team. This banquet was filled with sincerity and reluctance to part.

"Director Chen, I won't say much more about my gratitude. You're welcome to come anytime," Wu Yongping said, raising his glass.

"Xiao Chen, if there's anything I, this old man, need to do in the future, just let me know," Lu Yuanmin said with a smile.

Chen Yang raised his glass in response: "You two seniors are too kind. We have gained a lot from this trip to the province, and we would also like to thank your college and university for their strong support and candid exchanges. We look forward to seeing you again next time."

The next day, the bus set off again, leaving this gentle and culturally rich city in the Jiangnan region.

On the bus, the trainees gazed at the receding scenery outside the window and discussed what they had learned.

"This has truly broadened my horizons. The Wu School of Medicine lives up to its reputation, and Cheng Yi and his team are also very strong."

"Director Chen's lecture was so impressive, especially the part about treating Old Zhou on the spot. I still get excited when I think about it now."

"I feel like I understand a lot more now, and I feel like I have a better understanding of dialectics."

Chen Yang listened to the discussions behind him with a smile on his lips.

The trip to the province not only further honed the skills of the trainees and showcased the talent of outstanding contestants in the Traditional Chinese Medicine Competition, but also, through lectures and exchanges, spread an academic spirit that values ​​clinical practice, precise diagnosis, and the courage to break through traditional limitations to this land with its rich heritage of traditional Chinese medicine.

Our next destination is Jiangdong Province, known as a "furnace" for its scorching heat and rich resources of traditional Chinese medicine, with a long history of skilled folk TCM practitioners!
