Chapter 30 Mathematics plus Traditional Chinese Medicine

Since ancient times, "medicine and divination have the same origin", experts in traditional Chinese medicine generally have a little understanding of the way of divination. If they are promoted to the ranks of experts, their level will be even higher.

At this stage, Bian Mu is between an expert and an expert, so he naturally knows a thing or two about the way of divination. Seeing Mr. Pei's serious posture, he knows that the old man must have something real.

"Uncle Pei! Is this thing really so effective?" Bian Mu said in surprise.

"My level is limited. If I were an expert, I could almost do all the calculations. I heard from the old people that there is really a very smart person who takes arithmetic as the core and divides 'heaven', 'earth', and 'people' into several parts." Composing elements, and then abstracting out a universally applicable derivation system, the invention of that system is definitely a genius! It can be said to be infinitely magical and incomparably mysterious! As long as future generations strictly abide by the relevant laws and deduce carefully, many things can be predicted quite effectively .” Lao Pei explained with a smile.

"Is this the legendary 'Evolution of Heaven' plus 'Human Calculation', divination of the future?" Bian Mu asked in amazement.

"Don't dare to talk nonsense about the future of the divination class. It is still possible to predict some difficult decisions around you in the near future, but my qualifications are limited, and my level has not been improved. Your generation has long lost interest in these old antiques. Otherwise, you have to learn Yixue must be better than me." Lao Pei said a few words casually.

"Since ancient times, 'divination and medicine are not separated', I am interested, but I don't know if I can learn it well?" Bian Mu replied with a smile.

Hearing this, Lao Pei's eyes lit up involuntarily, and his kind eyes showed a bit of surprise.

"You can learn it, you can learn it! You all have a very good memory when you study medicine, otherwise, you will not get a diploma or degree certificate. My wife and her nephew are medical students. They memorize all day long, and they are so tired that they always lose their hair."

"Then I will worship you as my teacher!" While speaking, Bian Mu solemnly bowed to old Pei Shen.

"Come on! You will be my old brother from now on, I don't dare to call myself a teacher." As he spoke, Old Pei smiled and helped Bian Mu's arms.

"Then how can I do it! In terms of age, I should be two generations behind you, right?"

"We only talk about fate and nothing else. Besides, you are also half a herb collector. This business has always only talked about brothers, and you don't pay much attention to other things. If you are willing to learn, I will know everything. There are endless words." Old Pei looked very friendly.

"Then I will call you old brother from now on! Hehe... The art of calculation and deduction has been handed down for more than 1400 years, right? The content of life at that time should be quite different from now. How can the details you calculated be so different?" So how accurate is it?" Bian Mu humbly asked for advice.

"Actually, it's easy to understand. Things in the world are nothing more than 'reasons', 'human nature', and 'interests'... As long as you grasp these basic points, symbolize them, and use deduction algorithms flexibly, it is not difficult to draw corresponding conclusions. Take Ouyang Ziye for example, 'self-righteous', 'narrow-minded', 'climbing high and stepping down low'... Are these problems fundamentally different from those of people in the Western Zhou Dynasty and Tang Dynasty? The same! Mr. Chen, 'Lust', 'Vanity', 'Domineering'... how much has changed through the ages? Right? Ouyang Ziye made it difficult for you that day. Let's find a few actors to change into Tang Dynasty costumes and make it into a costume film. Will we feel awkward watching it from the audience?" Unexpectedly, Lao Pei's eloquence is so good, and the essence of calculation and deduction allows him to explain it so vividly in a few words.

Bian Mu suddenly realized.

"Really! Replace Ouyang Ziye with the manager of the Imperial Hospital, and I with a new private doctor. It's like Li Shizhen's first visit to the capital. There is no violation of harmony at all. I understand! Ouyang Ziye is too confident, I don't believe that Mr. Chen has suffered from serious kidney disease at all. It's just that the living conditions surnamed Chen are relatively good, and the symptoms are not particularly obvious. That Mr. Chen looks very shrewd, as long as he is reminded, he will understand, Ouyang As long as Ziye contacts him, Mr. Chen will immediately reject him, and even scold him!" Bian Mu guessed.

"Hmm! That's pretty much the case. If the one surnamed Chen doesn't come out, what's going on in the ring? Ouyang Ziye's conceit has caused him a lot of trouble. Within a week, a series of chain reactions may occur. 'Huikang' Hospital He's afraid he won't be able to wait."

"There are no loopholes in the logic. I really didn't expect it. If you are confused, you will pass the level!"

"Auspicious people have their own celestial phenomena! Your heart is pure, as it should be!" Lao Pei responded with a smile.

The two were having a good time chatting, when they heard Lao Pei's wife calling Lao Pei to make dumplings together in the yard.

"I'll go too!" As he spoke, Bian Mu followed Lao Pei to make dumplings in the kitchen.

"Hey! You are a guest, how can I let you get started! Aren't you interested in calculus deduction? I will find some introductory books and you can read them first. When you are free, I will give you a detailed introduction. Explain." As he spoke, Lao Pei went to the study to find a book.

"Ancient Computing", "Jingyang Zhushu", and "Xiahouchou Annotations", all three are thread-bound books, but they are not old editions, they are all modern reprints, antique, and have a sense of age in the hand.

"Look first, if there is anything you don't understand, I'll tell you later, there is good wine at home, brewed by yourself, let's have a good drink later. By the way, did you drive here by yourself?"

"I don't have much income, and I can't afford a car right now!"

"That's good, let's have a good drink." After finishing speaking, Old Pei rushed to the kitchen to get busy.

Bian Mu has some attainments in traditional arithmetic, and his foundation in ancient Chinese is also quite good. First, he picked up the "Ancient Computing" and flipped through a few pages. I casually flipped through a few pages of "Xiahouchou Annotations", hey!This book was very much to his liking. As soon as he sat on the sofa, Bian Mu gradually became fascinated by it...

……

"The dumplings are here!" As he spoke, Lao Pei came into the room with a plate of steaming dumplings in one hand.

Bian Mu hurriedly got up and started serving dishes and preparing tableware.

There are some freshly picked Ganoderma lucidum in the dumpling stuffing, it is so delicious to eat, spiced beef, stir-fried ground diced, wild chicken stewed with mountain mushrooms...five dishes and one soup, almost all green food, the taste is not to mention How fresh and tender.

The three of them sat around the dining table, chatting and laughing and eating happily.

"Uncle! I flipped through those three books just now, and suddenly found that many contents of traditional arithmetic can be infiltrated into Chinese medicine treatment. If everything goes well, I may be able to improve my medical skills faster!" Bian Mu said excitedly.

"Oh! What you mean is that you plan to use arithmetic methods in Chinese medicine treatment?" Lao Pei responded with a smile.

"That's almost what it means. When I was in college, I always had the idea of ​​combining 'mathematics' and 'Chinese medicine'. At that time, many conditions were not met. I just thought about it. After going to work, don't you have more clinical experience? ! I started to try some new theories, but unfortunately, the results were minimal. After being inspired by you today, a lot of ideas came through at once."

"Really? In fact, the core of divination is arithmetic, which gradually developed into mathematics. Since "medicine and divination have the same origin", there must be inextricable connections between traditional arithmetic methods and traditional Chinese medicine. Your idea is not logical at all." Question, good idea! Congratulations, congratulations! Come on! Let's have a toast together!" As he spoke, Lao Pei filled three glasses of white wine.

Jokingly, Bian Mu has officially started the budding exploration of digital Chinese medicine.
