As mentioned before, acupuncture is actually a supplement to prescriptions, but it later became its own system.
Many people do not have an objective understanding of traditional Chinese medicine, but looking at the history of the development of traditional Chinese medicine, we can actually see that traditional Chinese medicine is closely related to the development and progress of human beings.
In the earliest days, there were no chemical drugs, and the first people had no medicine. They had to deal with illness and injury by themselves. If you survived, you would be considered lucky. God would bless you. If you couldn't resist, it would be your fate.
The first Chinese herbal medicines were actually discovered by people by coincidence. After all, things at that time were not standardized. They relied on hunting, digging wild vegetables, etc. Perhaps by accident, a certain kind of wild vegetables cured colds and fevers, and then people began to
Exploring and summarizing experience is actually the same as people summing up what can be eaten and what can be grown.
Uh, that's a bit off topic.
Tan Xinquan's situation is an old problem many years ago. Medication cannot reach the lesions directly and cannot always remove the roots and cut them off. However, Lin Yuan's Shaoshanhuo Acupuncture method is better at reaching the lesions directly.
After putting on his clothes, Tan Xinquan felt his whole body relaxed. Before, when he breathed, he always felt like something was pulling on his trachea, but now he no longer felt that way.
"Mr. Tan, you are a famous doctor. I won't prescribe any prescriptions for you. Pay more attention to it and I will give you acupuncture when I have time. If you insist on it for more than half a year, you should be able to relax this winter." Lin Yuan said with a smile.
.
"Okay." Tan Xinquan said with a smile: "I really never thought that my old problem would still recover. If I hadn't met you Xiaolin this time, I really don't know how long I could have persisted.
"
"What are you talking about? How old are you? You are just eighty years old. Wang Boyuan is already over ninety years old." Lin Yuan said with a smile: "In my opinion, you will live another twenty years."
It’s still no problem in the next year.”
"There's no comparison between me and Mr. Wang." Tan Xinquan smiled and said while looking out. There was no fan in the room. Lin Yuan was afraid of the wind when he was doing acupuncture just now, but he was no longer afraid of it now.
The three of them came back to the living room. Tan Xinquan asked Lin Yuan and Wang Zhanjun to sit down and said, "I didn't expect Mr. Wang to be in such good health. I heard a while ago that he went to Jiangzhong, and I still didn't believe it.
"
"Mr. Wang's body is quite strong." Lin Yuan said with a smile: "You generation of Chinese medicine practitioners are all national treasures in the blind Xinglin world. We juniors hope that you will live a long life."
"Haha." Tan Xinquan chuckled. A few people chatted for a while, and Lin Yuan took out what Xie Zhikun asked Lin Yuan to hand over.
At that time, Xie Zhikun only gave Lin Yuan a box. Lin Yuan didn't even look at what was inside the box. After Tan Xinquan took it, he opened it in front of Lin Yuan.
Inside is a string of hand beads, which look crystal clear and clean. Each bead is the same size and the color is definitely extraordinary.
Seeing the contents of the box, Tan Xinquan's expression changed unexpectedly, and his eyes became a little moist. It took him a long time to pick it up, and while stroking it, he said, "I didn't expect Mr. Xie to preserve this thing so well."
As he spoke, Tan Xinquan raised his head, glanced at Lin Yuan and explained: "This thing was lost to Mr. Xie in a bet I made with him in Yanjing twenty years ago."
While talking, Tan Xinquan even told Lin Yuan what happened.
Tan Xinquan and Xie Zhikun are about the same age. They were also very famous doctors when they were young. Especially after the age of fifty, Tan Xinquan even opened Fulintang Medical Clinic in Yanjing, which is very famous in Yanjing.
At that time, Tan Xinquan was very powerful. Many famous Chinese medicine experts were not taken seriously by Tan Xinquan. Moreover, when Tan Xinquan prescribed a prescription, he would write a word on the back of the prescription, either "生" or "生".
"die".
All patients who are written with the word "life" by Tan Xinquan can be saved, no matter how serious their condition is. However, all patients who are written with the word "death" by Tan Xinquan will eventually die, no matter what excuse they find. It is impossible to save them, which is why.
Because of this, Tan Xinquan was also called "one word that determines life and death", and his popularity was unprecedented.
The patient who was cut off from "life" by Tan Xinquan was naturally ecstatic, while the face of the patient who was cut off from "death" by Tan Xinquan was ashen.
When this incident reached Xie Zhikun's ears, Xie Zhikun was very angry. It was not that he was not convinced by Tan Xinquan's medical skills, but he felt that Tan Xinquan was overdoing it. It is the duty of Chinese medicine practitioners to treat illnesses and save people, and their profession is just that of a doctor.
However, it cannot be called "god". In Xie Zhikun's heart, it is the most taboo for Chinese medicine practitioners to regard themselves as miracle doctors.
For Chinese medicine practitioners, the word "miracle doctor" is sometimes an honor, but sometimes it is a shackle. Many famous Chinese medicine experts were burdened by the title of "miracle doctor" and ended up miserable.
A doctor is a doctor, and no doctor can guarantee that he will not make mistakes or misdiagnosis. Therefore, even if a hospital doctor makes a mistake occasionally, it is forgivable. In fact, if you look at major hospitals, there are not many medical errors.
There are even some bizarre ones, such as putting a scalpel inside the patient's body after cleaning up, and putting gauze inside the patient's body, and so on. Even if the matter is exposed, the doctor will just stay dormant temporarily and continue to practice medicine after a while.
However, many famous Chinese medicine practitioners ended up miserably because they failed to treat one patient. The reason is that poor Chinese medicine practitioners are not recognized, while powerful Chinese medicine practitioners are mythical. Naturally, miracle doctors are not allowed to make mistakes.
Even if you cure ninety-nine patients, if you cannot cure one patient, you are a quack and Chinese medicine is a liar.
Especially when it comes to Western medicine, many people are tolerant, but when it comes to Chinese medicine, many people are unwilling to be tolerant. For example, a famous representative of the reformers in history was tortured by Western medicine, and later his life was saved by Chinese medicine, but he did not help.
Chinese medicine says good things.
Xie Zhikun did not approve of Tan Xinquan's methods, but he could not directly blame Tan Xinquan. After all, Tan Xinquan was very famous at that time. At that time, many colleges and universities in Yanjing invited Tan Xinquan to give lectures. Tan Xinquan made the difference between life and death with one word.
There had been no mistakes during the year. At this time, if Xie Zhikun accused him face to face, wouldn't he be humiliating himself? Not to mention that Tan Xinquan would not accept it, and maybe the two of them would have conflicts because of it.
So Xie Zhikun has been looking for opportunities. Basically, Xie Zhikun will pay attention to the patients who have been diagnosed with life and death by Tan Xinquan. Especially the patients who have been diagnosed as "dead" by Tan Xinquan, Xie Zhikun will carefully analyze each one.
As the saying goes, a wise man will always make mistakes. Even with Tan Xinquan's superb medical skills, there are times when he makes mistakes. In one case, a patient whose "life" was cut off by Tan Xinquan became worse and worse in Tan Xinquan's hands, and the patient even hung on by a thread.
.
You must know that at that time, Tan Xinquan was already a well-known famous doctor and a powerful doctor. Everyone in the Yanjing circle knew it.
Tan Xinquan's reputation will be affected, and the patient's family will definitely make a fuss.
At that time, Xie Zhikun came to the door and made a bet with Tan Xinquan, saying that he was sure to cure the patient.
Although Tan Xinquan was helpless with the patient at the time, he did not think it was because of his poor skills. Instead, he felt that he was too confident at the time and should not stop "life". Therefore, he made a bet with Xie Zhikun, and the results can be imagined.
In the end, the patient was cured, and Tan Xinquan was convinced. Under Xie Zhikun's explanation, Tan Xinquan also changed his habit of deciding between life and death, and continued to treat illnesses and save people, and no longer did any gimmicks.
"This string of beads was given to me by my teacher. It is very precious. I was very sorry after it was taken away by Mr. Xie. I didn't expect..." Tan Xinquan sighed, but also felt that,
He was so arrogant back then, but fortunately Xie Zhikun reminded him, otherwise he might really be ruined in the end.
After talking about the hand beads, Tan Xinquan asked: "By the way, Xiao Lin, why did you come to me this time?"
"It's about the Xinglin Mountaineering Club..." Lin Yuan explained the matter simply: "I know that you have always been qualified to recommend the Xinglin Mountaineering Club. If Huan has not recommended anyone else, I hope you can recommend me this time.
Recommend qualifications to me."
"You helped me diagnose the disease, so I still have to pay for the diagnosis anyway." Tan Xinquan chuckled and said, "My recommendation qualifications are still there. Since you want it, I'll give it to you."
"Thank you, Mr. Tan." Lin Yuan thanked him hurriedly. When he came, he was really afraid that Tan Xinquan would give his recommendation qualification to others, but now he finally breathed a sigh of relief.
While they were talking, Bai Lingxue came back and bought a large watermelon, as well as several bottles of cold beer and drinks. She was carrying large and small bags and was sweating profusely. Lin Yuan hurriedly got up to help.
After Bai Lingxue put the things away, she took the watermelon in, cut it, and brought it out. Tan Xinquan smiled and said, "On a hot day, you don't have to be polite to eat watermelon to quench your thirst."
After eating watermelon, Tan Xinquan stayed with Lin Yuan and Wang Zhanjun for lunch. The lunch was cooked by Bai Lingxue. While Bai Lingxue was cooking, Tan Xinquan whispered to Lin Yuan: "Xiao Lin, I heard that you opened a restaurant in Jiangzhong.
Charity?”
"Yeah." Lin Yuan nodded and gave a brief introduction to Xinyuan Charity.
"What do you think about letting Xiaoxue work in your charity foundation?" Tan Xinquan said. Tan Xinquan's request made Lin Yuan stunned. He thought Tan Xinquan had some other request, but he didn't expect that it was for Bai Lingxue.
Work.
Before Lin Yuan could speak, Tan Xinquan continued: "You may have noticed that Xiaoxue is not my granddaughter. His grandfather is Bai Zhongyang."
"Bai Zhongyang?" Lin Yuan exclaimed in shock: "Bai Zhongyang, the famous yin-yang miracle doctor twenty years ago?"
"Not bad." Tan Xinquan nodded.
"Hiss!" Lin Yuan couldn't help but take a breath. He didn't expect Bai Lingxue to be Bai Zhongyang's granddaughter.
Mentioning Bai Zhongyang, many people may have forgotten it now, but if Bai Zhongyang's name was mentioned twenty years ago, many people would know that twenty years ago, Bai Zhongyang was more famous than Xie Zhikun and Tan Xinquan.
After Bai Zhongyang was also an imperial doctor, the Bai family was a doctor during the Guangxu period of the Qing Dynasty. Bai Zhongyang's grandfather also treated Cixi patients. He was very famous and had superb medical skills. Bai Zhongyang was even better than his predecessor, and his medical skills were even more impressive.
At that time, Tan Xinquan was known as the one who could cut off life and death with one word, while Bai Zhongyang was known as the miraculous doctor of yin and yang, which means he could reverse yin and yang and bring the dead back to life.
In terms of age, Bai Zhongyang is younger than Tan Xinquan and Xie Zhikun, and he should be in his early seventies this year. However, in terms of fame, Bai Zhongyang is older than both Xie Zhikun and Tan Xinquan, and he debuted earlier. At the age of thirty, he was already traveling all over the country, healing people.
There are countless patients, and he is somewhat similar to Lin Yuan.
After all, Bai Zhongyang is a traditional Chinese medicine doctor passed down from his family, and Bai Zhongyang has also studied medicine since he was a child. And unlike Lin Yuan, his grandfather was still alive when Bai Zhongyang debuted, and he was famous. Unlike Lin Yuan, Lin Yizhi has passed away and is unknown.
When Bai Zhongyang debuted, he was young, had superb medical skills, and became a famous doctor. He quickly became famous in the Xinglin world, making many older generation Chinese medicine practitioners feel inferior. When he was in his forties, Bai Zhongyang was in Yanjing
He is already a famous doctor comparable to those of great powers.
But Bai Zhongyang's end was very miserable, and it was precisely because of his reputation as a famous doctor that he was imprisoned.
Twenty years ago, when Bai Zhongyang was at the height of his fame, he treated a powerful man in Yanjing for a diagnosis, but he was not cured in the end. In fact, it does not mean that Bai Zhongyang was not good at it, but that the patient at that time had indeed already.
He is terminally ill, but others don't see it that way.
In particular, the powerful man at that time was very well-known and found many well-known lawyers and evidence. In the end, Bai Zhongyang was convicted of intentional murder and sentenced to death with a two-year suspended sentence. After being imprisoned, no one knew what happened to Bai Zhongyang.
.
Tan Xinquan lamented: "I made a bet with Mr. Xie back then. Just two months after the bet, something happened to Bai Zhongyang. Bai Zhongyang's son and daughter-in-law complained everywhere and left their daughter to me..."
At this time, Lin Yuan finally understood why Tan Xinquan and Xie Zhikun were so convinced after losing the bet. It turned out that Bai Zhongyang's incident happened. Perhaps Bai Zhongyang's incident was the source of Tan Xinquan's change in the habit of deciding life and death with one word.
"What about his parents?" Lin Yuan asked.
"Then they went abroad." Tan Xinquan said: "They fled abroad and smuggled themselves into the country. For so many years, I didn't know whether they were dead or alive."
"What about Mr. Bai now?" Lin Yuan asked.
"Still alive, but already unconscious." Tan Xinquan sighed: "Back then, he was a miracle doctor with an unparalleled reputation, but in the end he ended up like that. He couldn't withstand the blow..."
Lin Yuan felt a little sad for a while. It was really a pity that a famous doctor of a generation fell to such an end.
"Then what was Lao Bai curing back then?" Lin Yuan asked.
"The second eldest son of the Yang family." Tan Xinquan said.
"Yang family?" Lin Yuan didn't understand.
"Yang Xicheng's second son." Tan Xinquan said.
"Yang Xicheng?" Lin Yuan was stunned and understood. He was Yang Nianzhong's grandfather, Yang Xicheng's second son, and Yang Nianzhong's second uncle.
"The Yang family has been practicing medicine for three generations. Yang Xicheng is also a famous doctor, and he has never had a good impression of traditional Chinese medicine. At that time, the second son of the Yang family was seriously ill, and many people were at a loss. Some people suggested asking for a traditional Chinese medicine doctor. Mr. Xie and I declined politely, but Bai Zhongyang took action.
