Chapter 270 - 270 270 Traditional Chinese Medicine Lecture Part 1

270: Chapter 270 Traditional Chinese Medicine Lecture (Part 1) 270: Chapter 270 Traditional Chinese Medicine Lecture (Part 1) Qin Han and Zhang Yalin had just gotten into Sun Pinghui’s car and driven out of Huqing Street when the expert group had already arrived.

However, after arriving at the clinic, they found it empty.

When Zhang Henian informed them that Qin Han had gone to Traditional Chinese Medicine University to give a lecture, they stomped their feet and beat their chests, cursing themselves for not rushing there right after getting off the plane.

“Since Qin Han has gone to give a lecture at Traditional Chinese Medicine University, we can also go listen.

Wouldn’t it be better to learn his theories on Traditional Chinese Medicine?” an elderly man said.

If Qin Han were here, he would definitely recognize the elderly man, who was none other than Wang Xianzhi, whom he had met once before.

The location prepared for the lecture at Traditional Chinese Medicine University was in the university’s auditorium.

First, because of the recent online incidents, Qin Han’s reputation was already well-known, and secondly, since this is the Traditional Chinese Medicine University, the students studying here naturally have a strong interest in Traditional Chinese Medicine.

Therefore, Sun Pinghui had arranged for a rather large venue.

At the lecture desk, there were several books from the Traditional Chinese Medicine University and other books on Traditional Chinese Medicine theory.

Sun Pinghui had thoughtfully considered that Qin Han always worked alone, and when giving a lecture, he would sometimes need books as a framework.

The purpose this time was to allow Qin Han to share his understanding and thoughts on these theories.

Looking at the young faces seated densely under the stage, Qin Han felt somewhat excited.

These were the future of Traditional Chinese Medicine.

He slowly stood up, walked to the center of the stage, and looked around the entire auditorium, then began speaking, “I am honored to be here today at Zhongzhou Traditional Chinese Medicine University to share and exchange my medical experience with all of you.”

“Also, I am very pleased that there are still many who trust in Traditional Chinese Medicine.”

“Perhaps when some of you chose to study at Traditional Chinese Medicine University, you faced many skeptical voices, and there might even have been people calling you fools for choosing Traditional Chinese Medicine when you could have studied Western medicine at a medical school.”

“Are you fools?” Qin Han suddenly asked.

Laughter erupted from the audience.

After the laughter, a bold male student suddenly shouted, “We are not fools, Doctor Qin!

One day, when we are as skilled in medicine as you, the entire world will turn its eyes towards our Dragon Nation!”

“Well said!

What is your name?” Qin Han asked with a smile.

“I’m Geng Xiaoguang!”

“Good, Geng Xiaoguang, I will remember your name.

You, too, remember the words you spoke today.

If you have any questions in the future, you can come to the Qin Family Clinic to find me!”

As soon as Qin Han finished speaking, envious glances were cast toward this boy called Geng Xiaoguang, whose face flushed with excitement.

Qin Han returned to the lecture desk and casually placed the books on one side of the podium, seemingly having no intention of reading them.

Addressing the students present, he said, “I am not aware of the academic years the students here are in, but the lecture I am giving today is suitable for freshmen, sophomores, juniors, or even seniors.

What I can share with you is some routine knowledge of Traditional Chinese Medicine that I intend to pass on to you.

Some may wonder how it is possible for students of different academic years to learn the same thing.

This is because today’s lecture isn’t about a specific theory or foundation of Traditional Chinese Medicine, nor about a particular medicinal prescription.

Today, I will teach you to understand the properties of medicines, namely the Seven Emotions of Traditional Chinese Medicine drugs.”

Qin Han wouldn’t start by teaching basic knowledge, as these Traditional Chinese Medicine University students must have already encountered a certain level of foundational theory in traditional medicine.

What he intended to teach was not the knowledge itself but the characteristics of medical substances or the application of medical skills.

Qin Han glanced over the audience: “How many students studying traditional Chinese medicine are here?

Raise your hands; let me see.”

Quite a few students raised their hands, and Qin Han nodded slightly: “Traditional Chinese medicine is divided into various specialties, including pharmacology.

Those studying pharmacology, raise your hands for me to see.”

More people started raising their hands.

Qin Han nodded and said, “Very good, basically, two-thirds of the students present are studying traditional Chinese medicine, and about one-fifth are studying pharmacology.

In the field of traditional Chinese medicine, the scope is very broad, especially in the diagnosis by traditional Chinese medicine doctors, the prescriptions written differ in both the type of medicine and dose for each patient, but whether you are becoming a doctor or studying pharmacology, you all must first understand the ‘Seven Emotions’ in traditional Chinese medical theory.”

“The Seven Emotions, namely joy, anger, worry, contemplation, sorrow, fear, and shock, reflect different emotional responses to external objects and are normal phenomena in life activities.

They do not cause disease.

However, under sudden, strong, or long-term emotional stimuli that exceed the normal physiological range and cannot be adapted to, these emotions can disrupt the function of organs and blood, leading to disease.

At this point, the Seven Emotions become pathological factors and are one of the main causes of internally generated diseases, hence referred to as internal injuries due to emotional factors.”

“Today, we will focus on the interplay between emotions in different medicines, called ‘Seven Emotions Compatibility.’

Qin Han started to ease into the topic: “The so-called ‘Seven Emotions Compatibility,’ also known as compatibility of seven emotions or medicinal seven emotions.

Predecessors generalized the application of single-herb medicines and the compatibility relationships between herbs into seven situations, referred to as the ‘Seven Emotions.’ Other than ‘acting alone,’ all are discussed from the perspective of dual-element compatibility and the changes in medicinal properties through simple combinations.

Of course, this is different from the emotional seven emotions of joy, anger, worry, contemplation, sorrow, fear, and shock.

Seven Emotions Compatibility refers to the seven basic principles in the clinical application of traditional Chinese medicine, which are fundamental to traditional Chinese medicine prescription.”

As Qin Han spoke, he walked behind the podium to the blackboard and started writing slowly: Acting Alone, Mutual Enhancement, Mutual Assistance, Mutual Inhibition, Mutual Restraint, Mutual Antagonism, Mutual Repulsion.

“As I mentioned earlier, aside from acting alone, other herbs are always used from the perspective of dual-element compatibility, discussing the importance of transforming effects through simple combinations.

So, what does ‘acting alone’ mean?”

“Acting Alone means using a single herb to treat a single specific disease.

For ailments that are relatively straightforward, it is often sufficient to choose a strongly targeted medicine to achieve the therapeutic goal.

For example, the ancient formula Dushen Tang involves using ginseng alone to treat severe debilitation caused by significant blood loss.

This is what we mean by Acting Alone, which broadly refers to using a single herb to address one ailment.”

“Mutual Enhancement,” Qin Han pointed to the words after Acting Alone: “refers to the combination of two medicines with similar effects to enhance the original effect of the medicine.

Ephedra combined with cinnamon twigs, for example, enhances the effect of sweating, expelling wind, and dispelling cold.”

Examples like this of similar medicines applied in Mutual Enhancement are plentiful in historical documents, forming the core of compound medicine compatibility and ranking as one of the main forms of traditional Chinese medicine compatibility.

Nowadays, many of the compound traditional Chinese medicines used are actually created based on the principle of Mutual Enhancement.”

Qin Han paused, then continued, “The existence of Mutual Enhancement is actually equal, much like what Taoism refers to as the balance of yin and yang energy within your body.

If it’s lacking, you will feel discomfort, and similarly, medicinal substances also need to support each other.

Without that support, the medicine may lack effectiveness, or more precisely, the effectiveness may not reach our expected results.”

“Next, let’s talk about Mutual Assistance.” Qin Han spoke quickly, also observing the students below during the lecture.

If he saw a student showing a confused expression, he would stop.

At that moment, a student raised his hand.
