Chapter 142 Distant Visitors Seek Traces, People Visit Because of Their Reputation
Chapter 142 A Distant Guest Seeks Footprints, Visiting Because of His Reputation
The reputation of traditional Chinese medicine spread, but a stranger doubted it.
I. A traveler, hearing the sound, trudged through the dust to arrive.
Under a clear sun and gentle breeze, the ten-mile-long street is bathed in sunshine, and the urban and rural areas blend together with the everyday life of the city. A panoramic aerial view slowly captures the entire scene of the surrounding area.
Xu Jingming looked up at the gate, his eyebrows twitched slightly, and he spoke.
"Master, another itinerant healer has come to visit the clinic."
Zhou Deshan slowly moved to the door, carefully observing the person's attire and demeanor.
"This man was dressed simply and elegantly in plain clothes, carrying his bag on his back, and he traveled around the countryside year-round."
The doctor who came from afar was named Wen Qihan, and he traveled alone all over the world year-round.
He devoted his life to studying respiratory diseases such as cough, excessive phlegm, and lung cold asthma.
Wen Qihan raised his hand to brush away the dust from his clothes, his expression calm.
"Recently, I have traveled to various villages and towns, and I have heard everywhere that the doctors here have extraordinary medical skills."
Lu Maoshan had only recently joined the medical profession, but he was already familiar with the various aspects of practicing medicine in the martial arts world, and he spoke softly.
"It is common for people of the same path to hear of each other's reputations and visit each other to learn from one another."
Wen Qihan's gaze slowly swept over the people in the courtyard, his lips slightly pursed, showing a hint of self-restraint.
"I have dedicated myself to treating various stubborn ailments of the lungs for many years, and I have spent half my life suffering from cough and asthma."
"I have a set of prescriptions and medicines accumulated from treating many chronic coughs on a daily basis."
"But for a long time, it has been difficult to grasp the ebb and flow of cold pathogens and vital energy in the body."
He heard rumors circulating in the city that Chen Shanhe had created a new medical theory based on military methods to treat diseases.
Most of what I hear are rumors, and I can't even tell the truth from the falsehood.
Deep down, they still retain the self-restraint and stubbornness inherent in the older generation of itinerant doctors.
Deep down, I felt that most young people who practiced medicine were overhyped by the world.
I have made a special trip to visit you, not to seek your advice, but simply to see for myself.
I want to see for myself whether this novel and unique dialectical approach is true or false.
Outwardly polite and humble, but deep down still harbors a slight sense of wariness and suspicion.
He was unwilling to easily convince younger generations, and unwilling to break his lifelong beliefs about medicine.
Poems as proof:
The reputation of the medical profession has spread far and wide.
A stranger, weary from his journey, arrives at the courtyard.
Holding onto self-confidence and doubt,
To observe the wondrous Dharma and discern the true mystery.
II. Focusing on the shortcomings of lung diseases
Wen Qihan walked slowly into the hall, his back straight and his expression calm and composed.
"For decades I have traveled among the people, but I have devoted myself to the treatment of lung diseases, coughs and asthma."
Chen Shanhe sat calmly at the table, his expression gentle and peaceful, and slowly responded.
"By focusing on a single disease and ailment, one can naturally accumulate a wealth of experience over time."
Wen Qihan nodded slightly, a hint of helplessness showing in his eyes.
"Even though I am skilled in combining prescriptions and medicines, there is still one bottleneck that I cannot break through."
Zhou Deshan remained calm and composed, slowly unraveling the underlying issues.
"The problem lies in the unclear distinction between cold and heat, the varying degrees of severity, and the difficulty in weighing the strength and weakness of the pathogenic factors."
Wen Qihan's eyes suddenly lit up, and he couldn't help but glance at Zhou Deshan.
"Your words have hit the nail on the head; they are the very difficulties I have been unable to comprehend for half my life."
Xu Jingming's hands hung naturally in front of him, his eyes clear and insightful as he analyzed the situation.
"The lungs govern the ascending, descending, entering, and exiting of Qi. Cold pathogens wander and change, their advance and retreat never fixed."
"If one cannot control the fluctuations of pathogenic factors, it will be impossible to determine the appropriate dosage of medicine."
Lu Maoshan has a deep personal understanding of this, as he himself faced similar difficulties in the diagnosis and treatment of bone diseases in the past.
"We, the grassroots doctors, are all trapped in the same shortcomings of practicing medicine."
Each possesses their own unique set of techniques and adheres to their own established diagnostic and treatment approaches throughout their lives.
It can cure minor ailments, but it is helpless against any lurking evil spirits.
Wen Qihan has practiced medicine for many years and tried countless prescriptions with modifications, but still could not achieve the desired effect.
Even though the prescription was correct, the treatment of chronic lung diseases was always limited in effectiveness.
They only know the conventional treatment methods of clearing phlegm and lungs, and soothing the throat.
They cannot understand the interplay and ebb and flow of Yin and Yang energies, nor do they understand the indirect and transformative principles of Qi.
A gentle breeze wafts through the streets and alleys, revealing the shared struggles and anxieties of people from all walks of life, all captured in the expansive aerial view.
Countless itinerant healers are trapped in the cage of their own understanding, unable to make progress year after year.
Poems as proof:
Specially treats cough with phlegm and bitterness that lasts a lifetime.
The reasons for righteousness and evil, advancement and retreat are difficult to discern.
Even if the prescription is without error,
One hurdle remains unbroken.
Third, harboring prejudice and suspicion.
Wen Qihan's gaze fell on the young Chen Shanhe, his eyes revealing a hint of deliberation.
"Everyone praises you for being so young yet so knowledgeable about the principles of all kinds of diseases."
Chen Shanhe smiled faintly, his demeanor elegant and detached, his actions neither arrogant nor impatient.
"The skill of a doctor has nothing to do with age, but only with the depth of one's understanding of the nature of things."
Wen Qihan gently twirled the lines on his cuff with his fingertips, still harboring some reservations in his heart.
"The path of medicine has always been paved through the trials and tribulations of time."
"How can one understand the mysteries of Yin and Yang, offense and defense, without having experienced the hardships of illness in youth?"
Upon hearing the words, Xu Jingming could instantly see through the other person's hidden thoughts.
"The senior still harbored concerns and did not fully believe in the master's unique medical theories."
Zhou Deshan was gentle and reserved in his dealings with others, calmly and patiently explaining worldly principles to them.
"If one's perspective remains unchanged, one will subconsciously resist new methods that one has never seen before."
Wen Qihan does not hide his true thoughts and speaks frankly and openly.
"I never deliberately belittle other people's abilities; I just believe that seeing is believing."
"The so-called integration of military strategy with diagnosis and treatment is based on principles that are far beyond ordinary common sense."
"I would never readily accept praise based solely on casual remarkes from others."
Along his journey, he has witnessed far too many doctors who sought fame and fortune through deception and fabricated reputations.
They fear that novel theories are merely pretentious mystifications, deliberately flashy and empty talk.
Therefore, I came here with a cautious and observant attitude throughout.
I just want to observe the entire real diagnosis process before judging its merits or demerits.
He was courteous and respectful in his dealings with others, yet he could never let go of his own pride and arrogance.
The reluctance to readily bow down and admire younger generations is also an inherent characteristic of the older generation of doctors.
Poems as proof:
He steadfastly adhered to his old worldly views throughout his life.
It's hard to believe that the road to new life is so wide.
Full of suspicion, I watched from the sidelines.
Judging fools and wise men solely by what one sees.
IV. Observe the truth and wait for the right answer.
Chen Shanhe was fully aware of all the other party's thoughts, and remained calm and composed.
"I understand that you have come all this way to verify the truth of the matter with your own eyes."
Wen Qihan bowed slightly, his attitude neither humble nor arrogant.
"I apologize for disturbing you by coming here; I only wish to sit quietly and observe the diagnosis process."
Lü Maoshan personally experienced the entire process of awakening from his former arrogance.
I am fully aware of all the stubbornness and resentment in this fellow practitioner's heart at this moment.
"Anyone would have doubts if they hadn't personally witnessed the mysterious healing techniques."
"When I first met you, Master, I had the exact same thoughts as you do now."
Xu Jingming spoke slowly, his mind clear and insightful, seeing through the layers of the medical world and all its complexities.
"It is difficult for all traditional medical practitioners to readily accept new and flexible approaches."
Chen Shanhe was calm and open-minded, and never had any intention of deliberately vying for worldly fame.
"There's no need to argue about the truth or falsehood of the law; you'll know for sure once you see it with your own eyes."
Verbal arguments can never change a person's deeply ingrained beliefs.
Only through a genuine dialectical approach and a gradual, step-by-step process can people be awakened.
When treating patients with chronic and intractable cough and asthma, the legal principles can be fully demonstrated.
The balance of Yin and Yang, the art of war's circuitous approach to dispel evil, and the dismantling of the lung channels layer by layer of accumulated toxins.
It allows visitors from afar who have doubts to carefully understand and comprehend the entire process from beginning to end.
Gradually shed your stubborn prejudices and re-examine the new generation of medical professionals.
A gentle aerial view from high above gently envelops the entire ancient medical clinic, where wind and rain are both opportunities.
Every healer who comes from afar is connected by a shared lineage.
Poems as proof:
Do not judge superiority or inferiority based on words.
Wait patiently for true knowledge to dispel confusion.
Prejudice eventually fades with time.
With a pure and clear mind, one can understand the world of medicine.
