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

"I don't have any problem, I just hope Senior Chen Yang can say something practical."

The male student turned around and glanced at the students beside him, saying, "Senior Chen Yang, everyone knows what you just said, but some things are hard to do even though you know them."

"Everyone present here today is a graduate student, some are even doctoral students, and everyone has been studying medicine for at least five years."

The male student continued, "Everyone knows that Chinese medicine is difficult to learn and has a high threshold. If you want to learn Chinese medicine well and reach a certain level, you have to wait until you are 40 or 50 years old, right?"

The male student glanced at Zeng Yunhui and said, "Even Senior Zeng Yunhui has been studying medicine for more than 20 years. Senior Zeng has been exposed to Chinese medicine since he was a child."

Chen Yang smiled and said, "Okay, then I'll tell you something practical. Please take a seat, I was sick a week ago, so I still need to take good care of myself."

The male classmate was about to sit down, listening to Chen Yang's words, and then looked at Chen Yang in surprise.

He had caught a cold about a week ago, and it was quite severe. He had a fever for two days, but he has been well for three or four days now. The symptoms are long gone, and he doesn't have a cough or anything. But he didn't expect Chen Yang to reveal the truth.

"From your voice and complexion, I know that although you appear to have recovered, you still have symptoms. Eat less spicy food and stay up late less these two days."

Chen Yang smiled and said: "Those who study Chinese medicine should know how to maintain health. Now that you know, you can first apply it to yourself."

The male student opened his mouth.

Chen Yang said that he could tell by his voice and complexion, and the male classmate had no reason to argue. After all, it was impossible for Chen Yang to know this in advance, because Zeng Yunhui didn't even know that he was sick, and it was the first time he and Chen Yang met.

Besides being able to see it, could Chen Yang have calculated it?

After all, the male classmate is also a graduate student of traditional Chinese medicine, so he has some knowledge of this.

"Let me make one thing clear first."

Chen Yang smiled and glanced at the male student, then continued, "My father is a teacher, my mother is a laid-off worker, and my grandparents died when I was very young."

Just now the male classmate talked about how many years Zeng Yunhui had studied medicine. Now Chen Yang is talking about himself to tell these people that he is the same as these people without background.

Since it is a lecture, it must be to give students confidence rather than make them despair.

As for the matter of cheating, it is not something that should be told to outsiders.

Moreover, Chen Yang is not simply making empty promises. Over the past year or so, Chen Yang has indeed gained a lot of insights. As his level improves, he understands more and more things.

Traditional Chinese medicine has a threshold, but there are also ways and methods to learn it. If you have talent and the right method, it is not difficult to learn it and your progress is not slow.

Just like the scholars studying medicine in the past, in fact many people only read medical books for one or two years before they can prescribe medicine and practice medicine.

Just like Mr. Zhang Xichun that Chen Yang mentioned just now, Mr. Zhang was still a teacher of geometry in 1900, and he had completed the first draft of the first three volumes of "Medical Records of Combining Chinese and Western Medicine" in 1909.

There is also Mr. Li Ke, who is well known to many people. Mr. Li started to get in touch with Chinese medicine in 55 and taught himself. By the early s, he had achieved some success. He has been practicing medicine for more than years and has become a great doctor.

Chen Yang first talked about Zhang Xichun and Mr. Li, and also talked about several famous doctors in history. These were all based on facts.

Mr. Li taught himself Chinese medicine, but the students here have all received formal education.

"In fact, I personally feel that learning medicine is not just about being in school, nor is it just about waiting until we obtain medical qualifications. In fact, during holidays, we can also go to some traditional Chinese medicine hospitals or clinics to get in touch with clinical practice early, paving the way for our future medical practice."

Chen Yang continued: "Even when we encounter some symptoms, we can try to treat them."

“I know a friend who has been exposed to Chinese medicine since he was a child, but the reason he was able to achieve success was because of his own attempts.”

Chen Yang said: "When he was about fifteen years old, he fell ill again. He prescribed Ma Huang Tang for himself according to the records in the book. After taking it, he lay down with the cup covered, just as the book said. The effect was immediate. This made him very excited. From then on, he not only became more interested in Chinese medicine, but also more confident and courageous."

The person Chen Yang was talking about was Liu Xi. In fact, it was not Liu Xi who wanted to prescribe the medicine for himself at that time, but Liu Xi's grandfather asked Liu Xi to try it himself.

“Success often brings joy, achievement, and interest to people.”

Chen Yang smiled and said, "No one is interested in things that keep failing. It's like when we play games. The difficulty of the game can't be too low, otherwise there will be no sense of accomplishment. It can't be too high either, otherwise there will be constant failures and no interest in continuing to play. In fact, it's the same with studying medicine."

"We can try when we are in school. At this time, we are just babbling children. Even if we fail, we will not be frustrated. But once we succeed, we will immediately taste the joy of victory."

"I am just a student who has just studied medicine for two years, and then I cured some disease myself. Even if it is just a minor disease, it can make us like Chinese medicine. Liking it is the motivation for continuing to study further."

In fact, anyone who has experienced this will understand this to some extent. Every doctor is very happy and joyful when he or she cures the first patient.

Especially when I treated my first patient independently, the sense of accomplishment was so great that I wanted to shout it out to let everyone know.

"Even if it's massage, for example, when I go home during the holidays, if my grandparents, parents, have lumbar or cervical spine diseases, or even fatigue, we can use massage to relieve them, which is also an achievement."

Chen Yang looked at everyone and said, "Just now my junior said that everyone has been studying medicine for at least five or six years. I wonder how many people will take the initiative to try and do it?"

Listening to Chen Yang's words, Wen Manlu and Zeng Yunhui seemed to be thinking deeply. They understood it the most. When they cured the first patient, they were very happy and hoped to be praised by their family and teachers.

Wen Rongxuan didn't say anything, but kept staring at Chen Yang. Wen Rongxuan found that Chen Yang was very calm and confident from beginning to end, and he was really attentive when talking about these things.

"Well said." Tang Junliang said softly to Ge Huaqun.

"It's more than good."

Ge Huaqun said: "Xiao Chen showed off his skills first, and then talked about these things, so that the students could listen seriously. What Xiao Chen said was real, not castles in the air."

In fact, students don't like to listen to empty talk. They want something down-to-earth and real. People will think about it only if they think it makes sense and can be used. Most people will not bother to listen to a second sentence of empty talk after hearing it once.
