I trade in both worlds

As the two were busy, time passed by unknowingly and it was the end of November. Xu Ziqi also ended his study trip to Rendetang and prepared to return a day early.

Xu Ziqing sat in the yard of Xu Xu's house, but his eyes kept drifting towards the gate of the yard.

She hadn't seen Xu Ziqi for almost a month. He had never returned since he decided to stay in Rendetang to study Chinese medicine.

However, he should be back today, as tomorrow is the last day of the holiday.

Xu Xu saw her looking at the door from time to time, thinking of Xu Ziqing going to Xu Ziqi of Rende Hall, so she asked: "Sister Qing, will Brother Xu come back today?"

"I don't know either, but judging by the time, he should be back. His vacation ends tomorrow." Xu Xu was not sure either.

Just as the two were chatting, the door was suddenly pushed open and a figure rushed in.

"Haha, I'm back!" Xu Ziqi's face flushed, and his eyes flashed with an unprecedented light.

He was wearing ancient costume and holding a cloth bag in his hand.

"Oh, who is this? A miracle doctor from ancient times?" Xu Ziqing teased, but his tone was full of concern and joy.

"Thank you for your good wishes." Xu Ziqi smiled and bowed to her, and walked straight to the utility room: "I'll go back and take a shower and then tell you in detail."

Before he finished speaking, the person disappeared. Xu Ziqing blinked, stood up and walked to the main room, but the person had disappeared.

She turned and looked at Xu Xu: "Let's go over there too."

"Okay." When the two returned to modern times, they saw the cloth bag that Xu Ziqi brought back placed on the coffee table in the utility room.

The two sat on the sofa, browsing their phones while waiting for Xu Ziqi.

Not long after, Xu Ziqi came in with wet hair, walked to the sofa and sat down, "Come, come and see what I brought back."

He opened the cloth bag and saw some herbs and several yellowed medical books inside.

"This is a medical book I found in ancient times. It records some very special Chinese medicine knowledge and herbal recipes." He picked up the medical book, his eyes flashing with a desire for knowledge.

"It seems that you have really learned a lot this time." Xu Ziqing took the medical book, flipped through a few pages, and his eyes were full of mosquito coils. He couldn't understand it.

Xu Ziqi smiled slightly, and that smile was full of confidence and satisfaction: "I have indeed learned a lot. This time I studied Chinese medicine in depth, and I feel like a brand new person."

"Can traditional Chinese medicine really cure diseases?" Xu Ziqing was a little surprised, but more curious.

Xu Xu: ...

"Why can't traditional Chinese medicine cure diseases? We have always seen traditional Chinese medicine practitioners." Hearing Xu Ziqing's distrust, Xu Xu refused to accept it.

Seeing Xu Xu getting anxious, Xu Ziqing hurriedly explained, "No, that's not what I meant. Modern medicine is mainly based on Western medicine, and we have little contact with Chinese medicine."

"This is what Chinese medicine is all about." Xu Ziqi quickly gave a thumbs up. "It's just that a lot of things have been lost in the past few decades. Forget it, let's not talk about this."

"I used to be skeptical about Chinese medicine, but after this study, I realized that ancient Chinese medicine is really profound. I learned a lot of knowledge and techniques that modern Chinese medicine does not have," Xu Ziqi said excitedly.

Hearing Xu Ziqi's words, Xu Xu nodded with satisfaction: "Is there a big difference between our Chinese medicine and yours?"

Xu Ziqi thought for a moment and said slowly: "In fact, ancient Chinese medicine and modern Chinese medicine are similar in many aspects. For example, they both emphasize the theory of yin and yang balance and the mutual generation and mutual restraint of the five elements."

"However, in ancient times, Chinese medicine placed more emphasis on practical experience and oral teaching. Also, due to the limited medical conditions in ancient times, Chinese medicine played a more important role at that time."

"What about modern Chinese medicine?" Xu Ziqing asked impatiently.

"Modern Chinese medicine places more emphasis on scientific research and clinical trials. With the development of science and technology, we now have more testing methods and treatment methods, which has enhanced the status of Chinese medicine in modern medicine."

"However, at the same time, modern Chinese medicine also faces some challenges, such as how to better integrate with Western medicine and how to maintain its own characteristics," Xu Ziqi explained.

After listening to this, Xu Ziqing nodded thoughtfully: "Well, after hearing what you said, I think modern Chinese medicine and ancient Chinese medicine each have their own advantages."

"Ancient Chinese medicine focuses on practical experience and traditional teaching methods, while modern Chinese medicine pays more attention to scientific research and innovation. If we can combine the advantages of both, the development prospects of Chinese medicine will definitely be broader."

Xu Xu also agreed: "That's right, Brother Xu, you must work hard to promote Chinese medicine, let more people believe that Chinese medicine can cure diseases, and understand the charm of Chinese medicine."

Xu Ziqi smiled and nodded: "I will try my best, but to be honest, I feel very lucky to have learned so much this time. Ancient Chinese medicine is really profound and I feel like I have opened up a whole new world."

"I will scan and share the ancient Chinese medical books and prescriptions I brought back this time, or donate them when I have time to sort them out. I will look for other medical skills in the future. Collecting more ancient medical books may help modern Chinese medicine."

Xu Ziqing gave her a thumbs up and said, "I have more time than you. Next time I go to the county town, I will go to the bookstore to browse."

Xu Xu nodded at the side and said, "My father's books seem to include medical books. I'll find them for you later."

"Okay, let's work together for modern Chinese medicine." Xu Ziqi smiled and nodded.

"Do you have any plans?" Xu Ziqing suddenly asked.

Xu Ziqi was silent for a while, then nodded: "I plan to resign and focus on studying Chinese medicine."

Hearing this, Xu Ziqing widened his eyes in surprise: "Brother, if you can hold on for another two or three years, you can be promoted to chief physician. Are you sure you want to resign and start over?"

Xu Ziqi shook his head gently: "Xiaoqing, do you know? In ancient times, I witnessed the magic of Chinese medicine with my own eyes. It is not only a medical system, but also a philosophy of life. I think that is what I really want to pursue."

Xu Ziqing frowned and thought. She could understand her brother's pursuit, but she was also worried about his decision: "Learning Chinese medicine is not something that can be done overnight, and the recognition of modern society..."

Xu Ziqi said firmly, "I know this road is not easy, but I still want to try. I want to use Chinese medicine to treat more people and experience a lifestyle that is in harmony with nature."

Xu Ziqing looked at his determined eyes and said, "Brother, since you have made up your mind, I will support you no matter which path you choose."
