"Wow, so amazing!"

"Our Chinese ancestors have really suffered a lot!"

"But what does this have to do with Chinese medicine?"

"Yeah, this isn't a history lecture?"

"It does matter!" Du Lin heard the questioning voice below, "Many theories of traditional Chinese medicine are based on the ten-month solar calendar. In the eyes of many old traditional Chinese medicine doctors, there are actually five seasons in a year."

After saying that, Du Lin wrote "spring, summer, long summer (Ji Xia), autumn and winter" on the blackboard.

"These are the five seasons in the October solar calendar. Obviously, it has one more 'Changxia' than our current seasons, also called 'Jixia'. These five seasons correspond to the five elements of 'Wood, Fire, Earth, Metal, and Water'

."

"In spring, everything grows hair and vegetation grows. Among the five elements, it belongs to wood. Who can tell me that this characteristic is similar to which organ of the five internal organs?" Du Lin seemed to enjoy interacting with the audience.

"I know, it's the liver. We just learned that the liver governs relaxation and hair growth." A student raised his hand and answered.

"Very good! This classmate must be a good student who listens carefully." Du Lin praised the student, and then continued: "Then comes summer. Summer is hot and everything grows vigorously. The five elements belong to fire. What are the corresponding organs?

"

This time no one raised their hands. Those who knew immediately shouted: "Heart!"

"That's right, the heart, also known as the yang organ, has five elements that belong to fire. The nature of fire is bright. It illuminates all things, warms the blood throughout the body, excites the spirit, and has endless vitality. Due to time constraints, I directly wrote down the relationship between the five seasons, the five elements, and the five internal organs.

, let’s all understand it ourselves.”

After saying that, Du Lin added to the previous writing on the blackboard: "Spring - wood - liver, summer - fire - heart, long summer - earth - spleen, autumn - metal - lungs, winter - water - kidneys."

"Traditional Chinese medicine advocates that spring nourishes the liver, summer nourishes the heart, long summer nourishes the spleen, autumn nourishes the lungs, and winter nourishes the kidneys. Therefore, traditional Chinese medicine health care also advocates adapting to the seasons and even the time of day."

After speaking, Dulin drew two large circles on the blackboard and divided each circle into twelve parts according to the scale of the watch.

"There is another number, which is '24'. A day is divided into 24 hours and a year is divided into 24 solar terms. Do they also correspond to each other one-to-one? The answer is, yes! The 24 solar terms also correspond to 24

hour, 0:00 to 1:00 at night corresponds to the winter solstice, which is the day with the shortest day and longest night of the year, and 12:00 noon corresponds to the summer solstice. The twenty-four solar terms are arranged in sequence.

List."

After speaking, Du Lin wrote the twenty-four solar terms in two circles on the blackboard.

"How long do we generally recommend an adult sleep at night?"

"Eight hours!"

"Which eight hours do you think is the best time to spend sleeping?"

The audience thought for a while, and some students still wanted to find the answer in the two circles on the blackboard.

A boy raised his hand and said: "I think it's appropriate to get up at seven in the morning and go to bed at eleven at night."

"Tell me the reason." Du Lin did not rush to give the correct answer, but allowed the classmate to fully express his opinion.

"Seven o'clock in the morning represents 'Qingming' in this circle. Getting up at this time should make people clear-sighted. We have class every day at 8:30, get up at 7 o'clock in the morning, wash up, go to have breakfast, and then go to school again.

It’s exactly eight-thirty when we go to the teaching building. I think since the school has stipulated that we start class at eight-thirty, there must be a certain reason, and it should be to encourage us to get up early.”

"In your eyes, getting up at seven o'clock means getting up early?" Du Lin was speechless.

The boy scratched his head in embarrassment, "For me, I got up early."

"Then let me ask you, what time does your dormitory open in the morning?" Du Lin asked.

"Uh... well..." He quickly asked the classmate next to him, "What time does it open in the morning?"

But it seems that the classmates next to him don't know either.

"As a senior brother, let me tell you what time the dormitories in our school open. It's five-thirty! What's the solar term for five-thirty in this picture?"

"Jingzhe!"

"Yes, five to six o'clock in the morning corresponds to the hibernation, and hibernation means hibernating in the soil. During the hibernation season, the spring thunder suddenly wakes up the hibernating bugs. The bugs have woken up, and you haven't woken up yet.

Awake?"

The audience burst into laughter again.

"So the most suitable time to sleep is from nine o'clock in the evening to five o'clock the next morning. Why is it nine o'clock? The solar term corresponding to nine o'clock in the evening is the beginning of winter. It is winter, so it is time to hibernate."

Du Lin's humorous tone caused another burst of laughter from the audience.

"The idea of ​​that classmate just now makes sense. School starts at 8:30, so there must be a reason for it to start at 8:30, but why should I get up at 5 o'clock?" Dulin paused to give the students some time to think.

, "Go to morning exercise, dear! Get up at five o'clock in the morning, wash your face, brush your teeth, and get dressed

, the dormitory opens at half past five, let’s go out for morning exercise. No matter what you do, whether it’s running or doing exercises, practice for an hour, come back, take a shower, change clothes, and then go to eat and go to class.

The school opens the dormitory door at 5:30, but the real reason for having classes at 8:30, students!"

"Oh~~~That's it!" Hundreds of students in the audience suddenly realized.

"Among the numbers just mentioned, the most magical number is actually 5. "Historical Records" says, 'There are five stars in the sky and five elements on the earth.' Under the five elements, there are also the five seasons, the five senses, the five internal organs, the five organs, and the five bodies.

, five colors, five directions, five flavors, five smells, five wills, and five constants. Each of them corresponds to the five elements one-to-one. As a Chinese medicine practitioner, you must always keep these "five" characters in your heart and put them on the prescription.

For example, if a patient suffers from liver qi stagnation, throbbing pain in both flanks, and abdominal distention, you should prescribe him a liver-soothing and qi-soothing decoction, which contains green tangerine leaves, green peel, tangerine peel, tangerine peel, magnolia bark, cyperus rotunda, and perilla.

Stem root, red peony root, white peony root, bupleurum root, turmeric root and licorice root. In addition to adding half of the turmeric root to female patients, the season should also be taken into consideration. The breath of spring and summer rises. When taking this medicine, the sex of root root increases, so you can reduce it accordingly.

In autumn and winter, when the breath is astringent and the nature of Citrus aurantium decreases, it should be reduced accordingly. In the long summer, it is suitable for replenishing the spleen. Poria cocos and amomum villosum can be added to this recipe to strengthen the spleen and aid digestion, so as to reduce the burden on the liver and gallbladder."

"Wow~ there are so many details?" The students in the audience were completely immersed in the profoundness of traditional Chinese medicine and couldn't extricate themselves. Many students who studied Western medicine even began to regret their choice of major.

"Old Wang, thank you for helping me invite Xiao Du back." Dean Zhang Guanshan of the College of Traditional Chinese Medicine patted Professor Wang on the shoulder, "When Xiao Du graduated, I had not yet become the dean. If

I was the dean at the time, so I wanted to keep this kid in school to teach. Not only is he a genius in Chinese medicine, but he is also a genius as a teacher!"

"Dean Zhang, there's no need to regret it. It's probably useless even if you were here at that time. The year he graduated, not to mention the dean, the principal almost personally asked him to stay in school, but this kid refused to agree and got his graduation certificate.

The certificate is gone." Professor Wang said angrily and funny.

At this moment, the door of Xinglin Forum was pushed open with a roar. Several students who were standing behind the door listening to the lecture were almost slapped against the wall. A boy scolded him on the spot: "Who is this?"

?Short-minded?"
