Chapter 423 Identifying Medicines and Distinguishing Medicines
Ring Ring Ring!
The class bell rang in the hallway, and the students returned to their classrooms.

Chen Jingshan opened the textbook and said: "Everyone has not studied Chinese medicine. I believe that everyone knows the character of Bian Que through the article "Bian Que Meets Cai Huan Gong", and also knows that this article talks about the truth that avoiding medical treatment will lead to death."

The "Huangdi Neijing" says that those who are good at governance treat the fur, then the skin, then the blood vessels, then the muscles and bones, and finally the viscera.If you wait until the disease enters the internal organs and bone marrow, you will be half dead and half alive if you go to treat it.

Chen Jingshan continued: "It's like an old farmer planting vegetables. The hardworking old farmer will hoe the grass when he sees the sprouts, so that he will not compete with the crops for fertilizer. Therefore, when the wise doctor sees the germination of the patient's disease, he pulls out the disease. , so that the disease will not compete with the viscera for Qi and blood, and secretly consume body fluid. But what should we do if the disease grows?"

"Just like in a crop field, the grass is as high as the crops. Even if you pull out the grass, it will hurt the roots of the crops. At the same time, the grass grows so high that it absorbs a lot of fertilizer in the field. For many chronic diseases, difficult diseases These diseases are like stubborn weeds, which have eaten away a lot of your blood."

"At this time, it is very difficult to manage. If you pull out the weeds without disease, you are afraid that the crops will be covered, and there will be no fertilizer, and they will not grow. If you pull them out, you are afraid that the roots of the weeds will be connected with the crops, and eventually hurt the crops. Crops, this is the reason why a minor disease cannot be cured, and in the end it is a dilemma."

Chen Jingshan used the simple principle of getting rid of weeds in the farmland as an analogy, and explained to the students one by one the main ideas and theories of traditional Chinese medicine to prevent diseases.

As the saying goes, the most powerful people are not those who can solve problems, but those who know how to formulate strategies and strictly

Someone who can avoid problems, or even make them never happen at all.

Then Chen Jingshan told us the story of the three Bian Que brothers.

According to "Historical Records", Wei Wenhou once asked Bian Que: "Which of your three brothers is the best at being a doctor?"

Bian Que replied: "The eldest brother has the best medical skills, the middle brother is the second, and I am the worst."

Marquis Wen said, "Can you tell me and listen to me?"

Bian Que said: "Brother Eldest treats illnesses before the onset of the disease. Because most people don't know that he can eradicate the disease in advance, so his reputation cannot spread. Brother Zhong cures illnesses at the beginning of the illness. Most people think that he can only cure minor ailments, so his reputation is only in the village. But when I treat serious illnesses, I put needles on the meridians to let blood and apply medicine on the skin, so everyone thinks that my medical skills are the best. Ming, and his fame spread all over the world.”

Bian Que has three brothers. Everyone thinks that Bian Que has the best medical skills and is famous all over the world.

In fact, only the family members know that the eldest brother has the highest medical skills, the second brother is second, and Bian Que is the third.

why?Because Big Brother Bian Que is proficient in health preservation, he used guide needles to resolve the invisible before the disease appeared, so the reputation of Big Brother Bian Que did not spread out of the family.

And the second brother can see the micro-knowledge, heal the disease in the bud, and the disease shows a little clue, such as when the sores on the body are very small at the beginning of a cold, the second brother can use the medicine at hand, and quickly eliminate these minor diseases like weeds. Therefore, the second brother's reputation did not go beyond the village, because everyone in the village thought that the second brother only cured minor ailments.

But Bian Que is different. The disease has already formed, the sores are big and lumpy, and the patient is bedridden and dying.

At this time, Bian Que used acupuncture, medicine, and a knife to cut open the lesion, drain the pus, and let the patient slowly recover.

Such extensive operations and extensive use of medicines make patients feel very powerful and wise, and the diseases treated are all deeply rooted in the internal organs. They are already caused by serious diseases. Two is very clever.

Therefore, Bian Que's medical name is known to everyone in the world.

But Bian Que said, the most powerful one is my elder brother who didn’t let the disease happen at all; my second elder brother didn’t make the disease worse at all and got rid of it quickly when the disease was still small; It can cure the disease after it has been completed, and treat it after the disorder has been completed.

Chen Jingshan spoke so vividly that she couldn't help thinking deeply, a doctor who doesn't know how to keep healthy and prevent diseases is not a good doctor.

Traditional Chinese medicine emphasizes not only how to deal with established diseases, but also eliminate and eradicate diseases from the root cause through health preservation.

Rather than developing into big problems in the future, it is better to solve them when they are small problems.

Pulling small grasses is easier than pulling big grasses. It is better to keep small grasses from growing in the fields than to grow weeds in the fields and crops grow better.

Chen Jingshan used vivid stories to let students understand the traditional Chinese medicine's idea of ​​preventing diseases while learning ancient Chinese knowledge.

Chinese medicine not only has two major characteristics of holistic view and syndrome differentiation and treatment, but also the third major characteristic, which is the prevention and treatment of diseases.

"Shanggong cures the disease" first came from the "Huangdi Neijing" saying: "Shanggong cures the disease before it is cured, and it does not cure the disease already, this is what it means."

"Governance" means governance and management. "Preventive treatment of disease" means taking corresponding measures to prevent the occurrence and development of diseases.Its main idea in traditional Chinese medicine is: prevent disease before it occurs and prevent disease from becoming worse. With this method of treating disease before it occurs, diseases will not occur or occur less.

It's not that "preventive treatment of diseases" as said by online Chinese medicine hackers means that diseases cannot be cured.

On the contrary, the prevention of disease is the highest level of medicine.

This is why it is said that Western medicine is a very superficial medicine. They can only treat existing diseases, and at the same time cause great harm to the body.

Why Western medicine can only treat the disease, but not the disease.

A medicine that can only be supported by a large amount of experimental data, a medicine that has no theoretical system for the relationship between the human body and diseases.

Let them know about the pre-disease, let them nip the disease before it happens, or at the embryonic stage, it is simply difficult for others.

Western medicine uses expensive and sophisticated medical examination instruments, and they cannot even detect the disease in its infancy, and even many diseases cannot be treated if detected.

Many patients who have suffered from nodules and tumors often hear Western doctors tell them that your tumor is too small and will not cause much harm to the body, so go back and observe it for a few months.

However, many patients just listen to the words of Western medicine, and after going back for observation, they become late-stage tumors. You must know that the distance between early-stage tumors and late-stage tumors is only three centimeters.

Ring Ring Ring!
When the get out of class bell rang, Li Yan and the others ended their first session of ancient medical prose. Not only did they hear good stories, but they also learned about Chinese medicine.

The students in Zhongjing's class quickly packed up the textbooks, rushed out of the classroom as quickly as possible, and went downstairs to classroom 101.

Huang Su walked into classroom 101 stepping on the bell.

"Starting today, we will formally study "Shen Nong's Materia Medica." Opening the textbook, Huang Su glanced at the twelve students below and asked, "Does anyone know the significance of "Shen Nong's Materia Medica" to Chinese medicine?"

Huang Su's eyes skipped over Li Yan, scanning the other eleven students in the class.

For a while, the students in the classroom were lost in thought, and no one answered.

Huang Su didn't expect the students who had just come into contact with them to give the correct answers, so she turned around and wrote the titles of four books on the blackboard.

Huang Su pointed to the blackboard and said: "The four major medical classics of "Huangdi Neijing", "Nanjing", "Treatise on Febrile and Miscellaneous Diseases" and "Shen Nong's Materia Medica" can be used as a symbol of the initial formation of the theoretical system of traditional Chinese medicine. Among them, "Huangdi Neijing" established The theoretical system of traditional Chinese medicine, "Nanjing" has been supplemented and developed on the basis of "Huangdi Neijing", "Treatise on Febrile and Miscellaneous Diseases" has laid the foundation for the theoretical system of TCM syndrome differentiation and treatment, and "Shen Nong's Herbal Classic" has established the theoretical system of Chinese materia medica Foundation."

Huang Su asked: "Do you know why you are asked to study "Shen Nong's Materia Medica" first in the course arrangement?"

Qin Xiaolu raised her hand and replied, "Because healing and saving lives are ultimately based on herbal medicine. If you don't understand medicinal materials, even if you are unparalleled in the world in four diagnosis and syndrome differentiation, you will only have dragon-slaying skills in vain."

Influenced by Li Yan, Huang Xue and Qin Xiaolu's knowledge of Chinese medicine has surpassed many students who are also new to Chinese medicine. "

Huang Su said little by little: "Student Qin Xiaolu is right. If a Chinese medicine doctor must be a soldier, the theory of Chinese medicine is the gun in the soldier's hand, the four diagnosis dialectics are the sight of the gun, and the Chinese medicinal materials are the bullets in the gun. Chinese medicine does not understand Chinese medicine. materials, like soldiers with guns but no bullets."

After speaking, Huang Su began to explain "Shen Nong's Herbal Classic" to the students.

"Shen Nong's Materia Medica" is the earliest surviving monograph on pharmacology in my country, which was probably written in the Eastern Han Dynasty.This book, like the "Nei Jing", was not written by one person at a time. It was probably after the Qin and Han Dynasties that many medical scientists continued to collect various medicinal materials, and it was not until the Eastern Han Dynasty that it was finally processed and compiled into a book. It was written by Shennong .

The preface of "Shen Nong's Materia Medica" is a general discussion on pharmacology. It discusses the classification of upper, middle and lower grades, which is the earliest drug classification in the history of Chinese pharmacy.It also discusses the monarch and ministers of medicine, harmony of seven emotions, nature and taste, place of origin, identification of authenticity, various dosage forms, taboos of medication, medicinal dosage, time of taking medicine, etc.

The text of "Shen Nong's Materia Medica" contains a total of 365 kinds of medicines, including 252 kinds of herbal medicines, 67 kinds of animal medicines, and 46 kinds of mineral medicines.According to the different performance and efficacy of drugs, the classification method of upper, middle and lower three products is proposed in the classification of drugs.The 120 types of medicines are kings, and they are mainly used to support life to respond to the sky. They are non-toxic. Taking more for a long time will not hurt people. , non-toxic and poisonous, it is very appropriate to consider, the winner who wants to curb the disease and tonify the deficiency.

The 365 kinds of traditional Chinese medicines recorded in "Shen Nong's Materia Medica" are still commonly used in traditional Chinese medicine to treat diseases.

Huang Su finished explaining the history and outline of "Shen Nong's Materia Medica", and then said: "In recent years, our TCM education has both achievements and problems. TCM pharmacology education focuses on textbook education, and the lack of practical education is a major defect."

"In this kind of education system, a group of Chinese medicine practitioners who don't recognize and distinguish medicines have been cultivated. They have memorized pharmacology and medicinal properties thoroughly, but they don't know what medicines are. Let alone distinguishing the authenticity of traditional Chinese medicine."

"Traditional Chinese medicine is not only a master in curing diseases, but also a master in distinguishing and treating medicine. I don't have high requirements for the students in your Zhongjing class. I don't ask you to know how to process medicinal materials, but you must know how to recognize and distinguish medicines. "

Huang Su asked again: "Do you know why I must ask you to recognize the medicine?"

Sheng Qiang raised his hand and replied: "I think identifying and distinguishing medicines should be the basis of a Chinese medicine practitioner. You can't just because there are Chinese medicine pharmacists now, Chinese medicine practitioners should take it for granted that you only need to understand the nature and pharmacology of medicines."

"It's like when I got a toothache during military training. In the absence of medicinal materials, Li Yan was able to find medicinal materials in the park and cured my toothache. This is the benefit of identifying and distinguishing medicines for Chinese medicine. We cannot Guaranteed, in the future life, will not encounter such a situation."

"Student Sheng Qiang's answer is very good." Huang Su nodded appreciatively and continued: "While teaching you the pharmacology and medicinal properties, I will also teach you what the medicinal materials look like in the plant stage, what the finished medicine is like, and how to distinguish traditional Chinese medicine. The authenticity of the material."

Huang Su smiled and said: "So, in the future, our courses will be mainly based on object teaching. You can rest assured that my courses are definitely not boring and boring courses that memorize pharmacology and medicinal properties, but will introduce you to various Chinese herbal medicines. The real thing, and the identification of medicinal materials of various grades."

"In the process of identifying and distinguishing medicines, you will remember the pharmacology and medicinal properties of medicinal materials."

Hearing the useless rote memorization, twelve students applauded happily.

In the first class, the huge amount of memorization required by ancient medical texts has already caused tremendous pressure on these students who are new to Chinese medicine.

If Huang Su's class still needs to be memorized by rote, everyone will collapse completely.

After the classroom was quiet, Huang Su continued: "To understand Chinese herbal medicines, one must first understand the four gases and five flavors, ups and downs, and meridians of Chinese herbal medicines."

"The five flavors are pungent, sour, sweet, bitter, and salty. The different tastes of medicines have different effects. The pungent taste can dissipate and act; It can be softened and firmed."

"In the theory of the five elements in the "Internal Classics", the relationship between the five flavors and the five internal organs is described in detail. Sour taste enters the liver, bitter taste enters the heart, pungent taste enters the lungs, sweet taste enters the spleen, and salty taste enters the kidneys. The functions of the five flavors are applied to the five internal organs, forming a theory under the framework of the five elements theory, which guides clinical treatment."

"The four qi are the four qi of cold, heat, warm and cool. The nature of warmth and heat is yang, while the nature of cool and cold belongs to yin. Heat is more than temperature, and cold is more than cool. It is only a difference in degree. There are different magnitudes of cold, heat, and severe heat; cold and cold medicines have different magnitudes of cool, slightly cold, cold, and severe cold. If there is no obvious difference in properties between cold, heat, warm, and cool, then "flat" is used to calibrate its properties. "

"Return is attribution, which refers to the attribution of drug effects; meridian, that is, the viscera and meridians of the human body."

"Meridian tropism is the positioning concept of drug action, which means the part where the drug acts on the body. Guidance is the attribution of action, and meridian is the general term for viscera and meridians. The so-called meridian tropism refers to the selective effect of drugs on certain parts of the body, that is, It mainly has an obvious effect on a certain meridian (zang-fu or meridian) or some meridians, but has little or no effect on other meridians. That is to say, meridian tropism means that a certain drug plays a role in the pathological changes of certain viscera and meridians. For the main or special therapeutic effect, the meridian distribution of the drug is different, and the therapeutic effect is also different. The meridian distribution of the drug also indicates the scope of application of the drug to treat the disease, which also explains its efficacy."

"Up and down, ups and downs, is the tendency of each kind of traditional Chinese medicine to affect the location and condition of the disease after it acts on the human body. It is the supplement and development of the theory of the four qi and five flavors. The up refers to the uplift and the depression, the down refers to the down and the reverse, and the up refers to the divergence. Shen refers to the downside to vent profits."

Along with that, Huang Su finished talking about the theory of tropism, four qi and five flavors, and the properties of Chinese medicine with ups and downs.

The first lesson of "Shen Nong's Materia Medica" also ended with the ringing of the bell.
