Chapter 173 Why the Chinese translation of cancer means cancer
Beijing, a certain government unit.

Cao Qingping, as the name suggests, lived a life of innocence and peace.

As a 58-year-old deputy chief clerk in an agency, he will retire in two years, and he has no hope of being promoted to a regular department.

Cao Qingping's daily routine at work now is to make a cup of jasmine tea, read the newspaper for a day, and let the young people in the same department do it if there is something to do. Even the chief of the department is an apprentice brought out by himself. She is also polite, let alone a comfortable and beautiful life.

However, recently, Cao Qingping's mood is not beautiful at all, it is because he is angry with the young man opposite.

Recently, I don’t know what the Jingmei Daily has been doing recently. It has begun to pay attention to cancer issues. If you want to remind everyone to prevent scams, you should remind them well, why it is said that Chinese medicine treatment of tumors is a scam.

In the past few days, the young staff in front of me even made use of the topic to criticize Chinese medicine as unscientific and that it cannot cure diseases.

Let people in the whole department have a bad opinion of Chinese medicine.

This is the sinister intention of these Maiguo media and the sponsors behind it. By denying some of the abilities of Chinese medicine, they are fabricating reasons why Chinese medicine is right and wrong, and readers will completely deny Chinese medicine based on these reasons.

This kind of psychological behavior is called associative thinking, and in later generations it has a dedicated Internet term called "naobu".

As for the Great Beautiful Country, which has rich experience in manipulating public opinion, it couldn't be easier to guide readers' thinking in the direction they want.

What's more, the young man opposite Cao Qingping is a high-achieving student who has returned from studying abroad, and that's what he does.

For this reason, Cao Qingping quarreled with the young man across from him several times, but he didn't understand that he was a Chinese medicine practitioner who had been sick since childhood, so how could he not be able to see a doctor with Chinese medicine.

However, whenever Cao Qingping has his own personal experience to refute him.

The young man on the opposite side will say: "Chinese medicine is not scientific. Western medicine has only discovered cancer for 200 years. Chinese medicine dares to say that it can cure cancer. This is not a liar. What is this? Chinese medicine will treat your little problem , Have you seen any serious diseases treated by traditional Chinese medicine, cancer, diabetes, leukemia, uremia, liver cirrhosis and other serious diseases can be treated by traditional Chinese medicine?"

In the past few days, whenever Cao Qingping was asked about these things, he became unconfident. After all, he didn't know Chinese medicine, and he didn't know whether Chinese medicine could treat these diseases.

Today Cao Qingping was as usual, a cup of jasmine tea had been brewed, he walked to the newspaper stand, picked up a Sunshine Daily, and went back to his seat to watch.

As China's daily newspaper for ordinary people, Sunshine Daily is naturally a must-read newspaper for government officials.

Cao Qingping picked up the teacup whose inner wall was covered with tea stains, gently blew on the heat from the cup, took a small sip of the tea, put down the teacup, picked up the newspaper and shook it lightly twice, and started his daily newspaper reading life .

After reading the front page and turning to the second page, Cao Qingping was attracted by the headline on the second page titled "Why Cancer is Called Cancer".

Three days ago, Professor Sun approached Director Wang, and this matter was highly regarded.

The next day, the heads of the research groups of the five colleges flew to the capital together. At the meeting, they formulated a popular science promotion plan for tumors in traditional Chinese medicine.

All the institutes were filled with righteous indignation when they heard this, and they all said that they would mobilize their energy and fight a propaganda war with the Maiguo media.

The first shot selected Huang Su's article, and the main front was the "Sunshine Daily", known as the "People's Daily", to demonstrate its authority.

When Cao Qingping finished reading the newspaper, his bad mood for many days was swept away. Looking at the young colleague opposite him who had been in line with him for several days, he asked provocatively: "Xiao Zhang, I heard you chatting every day recently. Cancer, I have a question, why is cancer called cancer!"

Xiao Zhang was also laughed at by Cao Qingping's question, and said with a smile: "Director Cao, what you are asking is nonsense. Cancer is not called cancer, so what should it be called?"

Cao Qingping still looked like he was discussing: "That's not right! According to what you said, cancer is a disease discovered and named by Westerners. There is no record of this disease in ancient China, which means that there is no such disease in China. This cancer Where did it come from?"

Xiao Zhang frowned slightly, and asked unhappily, "Director Cao, what exactly do you want to say?"

Today I have full confidence, even if Xiao Zhang is not happy, Cao Qingping still said calmly: "According to the rules of translation of words imported from China, if it is a disease that has never been seen in China, the choice is transliteration, such as AIDS, it is It is transliterated from English Aids, and it stands to reason that there is no record of cancer in China, so cancer should be transliterated as 'Cancey' from Cancer, so where does the word cancer come from."

The argument between Cao Qingping and Xiao Zhang also attracted the attention of other colleagues in the same department, and everyone came to watch together.

A colleague directly asked curiously: "Director Cao, it seems that you always know where the word cancer comes from?"

"No, I just saw an article titled "Why Cancer is Called Cancer" written by a TCM doctor of oncology, and I happened to know about it just now." Xiao Qingping looked at Xiao Zhang proudly and said, "Xiao Zhang, don't you talk about TCM?" Can’t treat cancer, then what’s going on with this doctor of oncology in traditional Chinese medicine.”

At this time, the colleague hurriedly urged: "Director Cao, please read it to us quickly, so that we can learn a lot, and we can brag with others in the future!"

Cough!

Cao Qingping coughed twice, picked up the newspaper and read in cadence: "Cancer first appeared in the Northern Song Dynasty's "Wei Ji Bao Shu". , the fourth is chronic, and the fifth is carbuncle. But the concept is carbuncle, not tumor.”

As soon as he heard that it was a gangrene, not a tumor, Xiao Zhang cheered up and said: "Since the word cancer refers to a gangrene rather than a tumor, it means that the tumor was first discovered by Westerners. I always say that Chinese medicine is unscientific, and only Western medicine can treat it." That's scientific."

Cao Qingping glared at Xiao Zhang and said, "I haven't finished reading yet, what are you in a hurry for?"

At this time, all the colleagues nearby also echoed: "That's right, Xiao Zhang, if you don't want to listen, you don't have to listen. We still want to listen to Director Cao."

Since Xiao Zhang is a high-achieving student who has returned from studying abroad, everyone usually looks up with his nostrils up, which has already aroused everyone's dissatisfaction. Now that he finds an opportunity, everyone naturally wants to ridicule him.

"Okay, stop arguing, everyone, listen to me and continue to read." Cao Qingping took a sip of tea and continued to read: "The meaning of the word cancer has the meaning of tumor. In volume 22 of "Prescription", the cancerous sores are like eyes, with deep upper and lower parts, and they are heavy, cracked like blind eyes, with cyanosis in them, a tongue exposed on each head, and poisonous holes penetrating into the inside. This symptom is exactly' The 'crater-like' ulcer and the 'pomegranate' ulcer of malignant tumors. It is the squamous cell carcinoma now."

In traditional Chinese medicine, squamous cell carcinoma is often treated with Xuefu Zhuyu Decoction, which often has excellent curative effect.

(The author's conscience reminds, do not search for pictures of squamous cell carcinoma, it is extremely uncomfortable.)
"However, the word cancer is seldom used in Chinese ancient books of Chinese medicine. Often the word cancer is Congyan, and rock is mountain rock. In ancient times, cancer, rock, 嵓, and rock were all used for rock. The original meaning of the word "rock" as a disease name refers to a rock-like tumor with a hard texture and uneven surface. It is named after its image. For example, milk rock is breast cancer, kidney rock is male organ cancer, tongue rock is tongue cancer. In 1915, the "Chinese Dictionary" and "Ciyuan" recorded the word for the first time. Since then, the English word Cancer has been translated into cancer and has been used to this day. "

Cao Qingping secretly observed Xiao Zhang's reaction while reading the newspaper.

Seeing Xiao Zhang walking out of the office angrily without saying a word.

Cao Qingping stretched his neck on purpose, and said loudly towards the door: "Everyone, if anyone says that cancer was first discovered by foreign devils 200 years ago, everyone will take today's content and hate him! You have to spit on him!" Spit on your face and say something, you are really uneducated."

Seeing Cao Qingping running on Xiao Zhang, the colleagues in the department laughed together.

As for Cao Qingping's anger that had been pent up in his heart for the past few days, he finally let it out happily.
