Zhang Huatuo thought that Wen Ruyu might not accept Chinese medicine. He himself admitted that Chinese medicine did have some shortcomings. However, he did not expect that Wen Ruyu had a completely negative attitude towards Chinese medicine, and there was no need for its existence.
"In this science-led era, Chinese medicine can still survive, which to some extent shows that our people's minds are not enlightened enough. Looking at what you just said, I can sum it up in two words, nonsense." Wen Ruyuhao Said without mercy.
Zhang Huatuo didn't expect that Wen Ruyu, who was so polite and humble just now, would have such a low opinion of him!
He suddenly turned pale with anger and said angrily: "What do you mean? Do you want to deny the thousands of years of achievements of traditional Chinese medicine? Do you know how many of our ancestors have been saved by traditional Chinese medicine?"
"How do you know that without traditional Chinese medicine, our ancestors would not have lived better? In fact, so far, there are still a large number of primitive tribes in Africa. They use some of the most primitive medical techniques, and they still have thousands of years of experience. History." Wen Ruyu said.
"You also said that they are still primitive tribes. Doesn't this have nothing to do with their lack of superb medical skills?" Zhang Huatuo retorted unconvinced.
"Let's put it this way, most of the diseases that can be cured by Chinese medicine do not require treatment. You can get through it with gritted teeth. The so-called taking medicine is just a psychological comfort to deceive yourself and others." Wen Ruyu said disdainfully.
"Nonsense! Do you think that Hua Tuo, Bian Que, Li Shizhen, Sun Simiao and other miraculous doctors are all in vain, and the diseases they treat are all diseases that can be cured by themselves?" Zhang Huatuo was so angry that his body was shaking a little.
"Isn't the Dragon Kingdom culture best at creating gods? An ordinary but frustrated thinker who writes some specious articles can be canonized as a saint by you and create several gods in the field of life and death. Do you think this is not possible?"
It was somewhat unbearable to see Wen Ruyu not only denying traditional Chinese medicine, but also the traditional culture of the Dragon Kingdom. Even the students began to whisper, but they could not find any strong evidence to refute Wen Ruyu.
Seeing that everyone was unconvinced, Wen Ruyu smiled slightly and said in a calm tone: "It seems that you think I am talking nonsense, so let's take a look at the "Compendium of Materia Medica" which you regard as a medical treasure! I believe that Professor Zhang is a master of traditional Chinese medicine. , you will definitely be familiar with this book.”
Wen Ruyu's attitude remained calm, but Zhang Huatuo seemed a little flustered.
The main reason is that Wen Ruyu's attitude towards Chinese medicine surprised him so much. He originally expected Wen Ruyu to help him promote Chinese medicine, but caring would lead to chaos. Because Zhang Huatuo cared too much about the world's views on Chinese medicine, he seemed very passive.
"This... naturally will not be unfamiliar." Zhang Huatuo said.
"In this book, there is a prescription for treating madness, called "Self-Death Rope". The method is to burn the rope used by others to hang themselves to ashes, and then drink it with three finger-widths of water, and the patient will be able to Heal, please help explain."
In fact, to be honest, Zhang Huatuo could not understand or agree with many of the prescriptions in the "Compendium of Materia Medica". However, in order to promote traditional Chinese medicine, they had to deify the "Compendium of Materia Medica".
Just like Christianity must deify the Bible, Confucianism must deify the Analects, and Taoism must deify the Tao Te Ching.
If they were all like Wen Ruyu, these books would be able to find a lot of flaws.
But Zhang Huatuo obviously couldn't say this clearly, so he had to explain hesitantly: "Madness is caused by excessive yang energy. Because the hanging rope contains the resentment of the deceased, it can dilute the yang energy and balance the yin and yang of the mad patient."
In fact, even Zhang Huatuo himself couldn't believe this, but in order to rationalize the prescription, he had to make such an explanation.
After explaining, he felt very guilty, fearing that Wen Ruyu would continue to struggle with this issue.
Wen Ruyu just smiled and said nothing, but it could be seen from the reactions of those classmates that he and Zhang Huatuo had already reached a conclusion.
"Really? Let's assume you are right, but I would like to ask how you treat red and swollen gums on a daily basis." Wen Ruyu continued to ask unhurriedly.
He had completely mastered the rhythm of the conversation, and Zhang Huatuo was completely led by him, but he was unaware of it because of his guilty conscience.
