Chapter 511: Traditional Chinese Medicine Plan (Part 1)

After pondering for a while, Yang Dongxu said: "I support the promotion of traditional Chinese medicine, but now is not the time."

"It's not a nationwide promotion, even a partial promotion will do." As a doctor, Sun Banxian can be said to have a clear feeling about the changes in the domestic medical community in recent years.

The decline of traditional Chinese medicine is already doomed, but now it has been relegated to a secondary position and polarization has emerged. One pole is the top management. Really capable doctors are highly valued by the top management, but these Chinese medicine practitioners have basically become the top management's personal therapists.

At the other end of the spectrum are remote mountain villages, where many Chinese medicine practitioners who are unwilling to enter the court choose to live alone. Practice medicine in some remote rural areas.

The middle market, which accounts for nearly 90% of the entire industry, is no longer cannibalized by Western medicine but directly occupied. Nowadays, if you have a headache or a fever, you rarely see anyone taking Chinese medicine. Basically, they take Western medicine.

If there are any internal ailments, few people go to see a Chinese medicine doctor. Instead, they go directly to the hospital for a detailed examination, and then they are hospitalized if they need to be hospitalized, and they undergo surgery if they need to be. As for taking Chinese medicine to recuperate, there is no such thing.

From this point, we can also see the impetuousness of today's society. No one is willing to spend more time to receive treatment from traditional Chinese medicine without sequelae. Instead, they prefer to accept Western medical treatment with side effects, because those side effects have no impact on current patients, and may not even have an impact for a long time, and no one cares about the invisible damage even if they know about it.

Seeing that the national essence passed down by his ancestors was so abandoned by the people of the country, Sun Banxian saw it in his eyes and became anxious in his heart. Over the years, he has worked hard to practice medicine, and he has worked hard at the grassroots level to contribute his own efforts. However, compared to the situation where Western medicine is the only one in the country, his efforts are undoubtedly a drop in the bucket.

So what happened in Liulichang was just an introduction. Sun Banxian had tried to reverse the decline of traditional Chinese medicine a long time ago, but there was no good way. Until Old Man Xuan reminded him that he could talk to Yang Dongxu.

Although from the outside he knew how much of this young man whose destiny was so vague that he couldn't see clearly, he knew the character of Old Man Xuan, so since he recommended it, Sun Banxian planned to give it a try. But I never thought that Yang Dongxu would politely refuse when he came up.

"You may have misunderstood me. I'm not rejecting you tactfully. It's just that it's really impossible to promote Chinese medicine now. The Chinese people have gone through a period of self-confidence that despises the world.

Passionate and inferior because of backwardness, so as long as it is a foreign thing, even if it is useful, it will be worth two points or more in the eyes of the Chinese people.

On the other hand, things that are clearly two points in China are always regarded as one point, or even less than one point. In addition, it only takes a few years to train a Western medicine doctor. You can even start working in a pharmacy after a month or two of systematic training.

But Chinese medicine is different. A qualified Chinese medicine doctor who has been teaching carefully since childhood, and who has been practicing for twenty years is already considered a genius. Even an ordinary dispensing clerk cannot be qualified without a few years of study and experience.

So when you train a Chinese medicine talent, others will mass-produce a lot of them. So eager to compete head-on with Western medicine in the current market, I don’t see any hope of victory. Yang Dongxu said with a sigh.

In fact, there is another point that Yang Dongxu did not mention, that is, the decline of traditional Chinese medicine was not only due to the impact of Western medicine on the minds of Chinese people, but also due to the swindlers in society.

Chinese people have a deep affection for Chinese medicine. The emergence of a large number of scammers and Mongolian doctors really hurt the hearts of the Chinese people. At least you can see the curative effect of Western medicine. If you are targeted by Chinese medicine scammers and lose your money, you may not even know what disease you have. Even if someone tricks you with weeds, you think it is Chinese medicine. This is peaceful and reassures the Chinese people.

"Is there really nothing we can do?" Sun Banxian suddenly seemed to have aged more than ten years.

No one can understand the heart-wrenching pain of an old Chinese medicine practitioner who is inherited from a family of Chinese medicine and sees his ancestors' things being discarded bit by bit and stepped on in the mud.

"It's not that there is no way, but the current environment is like this. Even if I want to spend a lot of money, I will lose money and make a profit. Not only can I not promote traditional Chinese medicine, it may even be counterproductive. So the opportunity is not ripe now, but although we cannot promote it, we You can prepare it in advance.”

"How to prepare." Sun Banxian's eyes suddenly lit up when he heard that Yang Dongxu had not given up. He didn't know why Yang Dongxu's seemingly tactful refusal made him see greater hope. Maybe this young man could really do what he and many Chinese medicine doctors wanted. Things that cannot be done.

"First of all, you and those really capable Chinese doctors had better not go to work as idle clouds and wild cranes, or go to remote mountain villages to practice medicine. It would be best if any of them with outstanding abilities should enter the court."

"Practitioners of medicine should take it as their own duty to hang pots to help the world, how can they waste time in the court?" Sun Banxian stared instantly.

If the group of people in China today still maintain the spirit of the ancients, then Chinese medicine is definitely one of them, and it can still be ranked in the top three or even ranked first.

As a consistent style of ancient Chinese medicine, imperial doctors looked down on rural Chinese medicine doctors, thinking that these people were barefoot doctors. Experts in folk traditional Chinese medicine looked down upon imperial doctors, feeling that these people gave up their great responsibility to help the world in order to live a prosperous life. They were sorry for their ancestors and were ashamed to associate with these people. And Sun Banxian undoubtedly belongs to the latter.

"Don't worry, listen to me first." Yang Dongxu had already expected Sun Banxian's resistance before speaking. After all, he had been surrounded by a living example of Old Man Xuan since he was a child, and he couldn't understand it even if he didn't understand it.

So he quickly said: "It's not that I'm a junior, but it's a step that must be taken to revitalize traditional Chinese medicine. Otherwise, if even the top officials trust Western medicine and don't look at traditional Chinese medicine, then traditional Chinese medicine will really die. .

Just relying on you people to recruit a few apprentices among the people and treat people in remote areas. Let’s not talk about how to fight against Western medicine. You have questions about whether you can continue to pass it on.

Traditional Chinese medicine is a good thing, but you may not be able to fully understand its mysteries even if it takes you a lifetime. But is the ancient doctrine of a hundred schools of thought really inferior to Confucianism? But in the end, why is it that Confucianism dominates, while others are either buried in the dust of history, or can only be regarded as side subjects? Isn’t it because the emperor supports Confucianism? "

What Yang Dongxu said is actually a bit alarmist, because the top leaders of the country have never given up on traditional Chinese medicine. In later generations, it will only restore the decline of traditional Chinese medicine. But now the authorities obviously don’t care about traditional Chinese medicine.

But if we wait for a while and don’t know how many good things there are, the good prescriptions will be lost. So since Sun Banxian raised this matter, and he really wanted to do it, he didn’t want to leave for a day, so the upper route must be taken.

"Is there no other way?" Sun Banxian is obviously not a stubborn person. On the contrary, looking at the usual bickering between him and Old Man Xuan, you can see that this is a person who can change as long as he makes sense. But things like strength of character usually prefer to be broken rather than bent. Although he is not one of the people who hate the court, at least it is true that he does not want to get into this big dye vat.

"This is the only and necessary thing to do at the moment. Not to mention how many people are there in the country now? Not to mention that all of them see traditional Chinese medicine, one in ten sees traditional Chinese medicine. Just the few fields, or the wild animals in the mountains and deep forests. Even if all the medicinal materials are dug out, there is not enough.

Therefore, before promoting traditional Chinese medicine, the cultivation of medicinal materials must be solved. Otherwise, if you give people medicine, they will not be able to treat it? Therefore, large-scale cultivation of traditional Chinese medicine is necessary, but large-scale cultivation does not include growing crops. This must be approved by the state, right?

The country doesn’t agree with how you want farmers to grow? Besides planting in the field, some medicinal materials must be grown in the mountains, right? Nowadays, all places are managed by the state. Do you think the state does not agree with you being able to plant traditional Chinese medicine on the top of a mountain? "Seeing that Sun Banxian was loose, Yang Dongxu immediately said while the iron was hot.

"This." Sun Banxian didn't know what to say for a while.

"Letting you enter the court is not to let you be officials, even to be a consultant. When you go out to treat people and say that you are the personal doctor of a certain leader, you feel that even the leader will believe you and let you see a doctor. Will the patient care? Do you believe that you are not as powerful as the director of the hospital with several titles? Why doesn’t the leader seek treatment from him instead of you?”

"I have real talent and knowledge, why should I borrow someone else's name!" Sun Banxian blew his beard and glared again.

"The first step is to wait until we have a firm foothold from the top management and get permission. The second step is to treat foreigners. This is also something we must focus on. I can make a detailed plan by then."

"I have no objection to treating patients, no matter whether they are rich or poor, Chinese or barbarians. But the Chinese have not finished treating them, so why should they treat outsiders?" If Yang Dongxu made him a little angry before, then putting foreigners before Chinese people, this It just stepped on his bottom line.

"Export packaging to domestic sales." Yang Dongxu subconsciously said a sentence that is particularly classic in later commercial operations. But Sun Banxian obviously didn't understand this sentence, so he explained: "The characteristic of Chinese people is that you should never give good things to them for free, but let them beg, scratch their livers, lungs, rack their brains, and go through a lot of hardships. It takes a lot of hard work to get it, so they will cherish it and take it seriously.

The so-called awareness of export packaging to domestic sales is that now Chinese people feel that foreign countries are so good. Well, even foreigners feel that Chinese medicine is better than Western medicine. Do you think Chinese people will choose Chinese medicine or Western medicine? "

"Why do I, the quintessence of China, have to be recognized by the barbarians?" Sun Banxian was still particularly angry.

Yang Dongxu wanted to say that this was the current situation and what he could do. In later generations, the economy of the country will be the second in the world, and even surpassing the United States is no longer a dream.

But at that time, whether it was private or online, the most common thing was to see foreigners admit that something in China was good. One word from foreigners seemed to be more useful than a hundred words from Chinese people. It felt like it was a huge face. This is what society is like now. What can he do about normalcy?

Although the century-old history of shame has not wiped out the spirit of China, it has made the Chinese people work hard to catch up. However, the backward economy after the founding of the People's Republic of China, and even though the economic aggregate is the second in the world, there are still many technological backwardness, which makes the people too backward. The desire is recognized by the world.
