Chapter 2281 Abolition of Traditional Chinese Medicine
Oh, by the way, Zhong Shifan seems to be working as a servant of a big family in Shanghai, working hard while studying hard, but he can check the information again to see who he is in, and then help him concentrate on his studies, right? His achievements in medicine may be a little worse than those of the previous ones, but his son is amazing!
Shen Long was happy here, but Tang Erhe gave a bad news, "The revised "Regulations of Specialized Medical School" and "Regulations of Specialized School of Pharmacy" still don't have a word about Chinese medicine, and now the Chinese medicine groups all over the country I want to go to Beijing, but medical schools in different places have different ideas, so how should our school express itself?"
"I've also heard this matter mentioned by my colleagues from the Chinese Medical Association. Wang Daxie is playing the piano indiscriminately!" Shen Long slapped the table and said.
What does this event represent? That is to withdraw Chinese medicine and Chinese medicine from the teaching syllabus promulgated by the state, which also means that Chinese medicine will no longer be listed as an official educational institution. The leader of this incident is the current chief education officer Wang Daxie. Now the Beiyang government of the Republic of China intends to imitate In Japan, Western-style education was fully implemented, so Wang Daxie, who had been a supervisor of students studying in Japan, became the chief, responsible for compiling the "Renwu Guichou Academic System".
Wang Daxie was deeply stimulated by Japan's Meiji Restoration and the abolition of "Han medicine", coupled with the instigation of those returning overseas students, he was determined not to allow Chinese medicine to continue, so he ignored the existence of traditional Chinese medicine in various documents issued , which means that he intends to abolish traditional Chinese medicine.
"Is Wang Daxie's brain broken? How many Western doctors are there in the whole country now? Calling all the returned Western doctors to the capital may not be able to meet the medical and health needs of the people in the capital, let alone such a big China?" Shen Long did not Talking about the advantages and disadvantages of traditional Chinese medicine and Western medicine, but directly criticize Wang Daxie from the reality.
If you want to abolish traditional Chinese medicine, no problem, then please tell me, what do you use instead of traditional Chinese medicine, does China have enough Western-style doctors? Can China already produce basic Western-style medicines? If you can, then no problem, I support you to do so, if not, then you are disregarding human life and not treating Chinese people as human beings!
"Principal, I am deeply impressed by your investigation in Ding County. In a county with 400,000 people, there are only two sitting doctors. The shortage of medical and health personnel has reached such a level. Wang Daxie still wants to abolish Western medicine. If this continues, I am afraid it will be very soon. It will become that there are only two doctors left in Baoding, even if they are exhausted and exhausted, the patients will not be able to see them!" Influenced by Shen Long, Tang Erhe also has a basic understanding of the current situation of China's medical and health care , Under such a premise, it is simply not feasible to abolish traditional Chinese medicine.
"The situation in Japan and China is completely different! More than a hundred years ago, the anatomy book "New Book of Disintegration" translated by Sugita Genbaku and others caused a sensation in the Japanese medical circle and was popularized by Fukuzawa Yukichi and others. (Japan’s name for Western medicine, which originated in the Netherlands) became popular in Japan.”
"If Almeida established the first Western hospital in Bungo's prefecture in 1556,
He was in charge of the surgery himself, Portuguese missionaries opened hospitals, recruited a wide range of disciples, and started the Southern Barbarian surgery, and the time when Japan came into contact with Western medicine was even earlier. "
"Since General Tokugawa Yoshimune relaxed the ban in 1720, the translation of medical works imported by the Nagasaki family has never stopped, and the establishment of medical workshops and hospitals has continued. , and soon became the center of Western medicine education in Japan.” This is the prototype of Renyoutang in the Japanese TV drama "Jin Doctor".
"After so many years, Japan has accumulated a large number of Western-style doctors. Ito Genpu and others set up the Edo Vaccination Institute. After Japan completely eradicated smallpox, Japanese Western medicine has completely surpassed Chinese medicine. This is the Meiji Restoration abolition The basis of Chinese medicine, and because of the seclusion of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, how long has it been since China began to formally contact Western medicine and receive education in Western medicine on a large scale? How come so many talents?"
"Wang Daxie is just copying it mechanically. I'm afraid he just took a quick look at the flowers in Japan. He didn't understand the specific situation of Japan's abolition of Chinese medicine, right? What the Japanese could do before, we can't do now!" Shen Long sighed In other words, after entering modern times, China lagged behind too much.
"Principal, I didn't expect you to be so knowledgeable about the development of Japanese medicine. In my opinion, you can use this topic to give a speech to our school's students, and then publish the content of the speech in the newspaper. I hope people with insight from the government will read it." Until such an article can be retracted!" Tang Erhe made a suggestion.
"It's okay." Shen Long thought about it and agreed. After some preparations, Shen Long started his speech in the school auditorium the next day, because the notice was issued in advance, and now the school has just started, and the students have no classes. So almost all the teachers and students of the school came, and the classrooms were packed to the brim.
There were even many students from other schools, as well as people from the education and medical fields who rushed over, wanting to hear what he, the vice president of the Chinese Medical Association, could say.
When it was time to start the speech, Shen Long stepped onto the podium. Instead of starting his speech, he asked the students first, "Students, do you think Chinese medicine should be abolished?"
"Shouldn't it be that the yin-yang and five-element meridian theories of Chinese medicine are all fallacies. I learned science in middle school, but I have to learn such backward and superstitious things when I enter university. Isn't it a step backward?" Some students started from the theoretical issues of Chinese medicine, He completely rejected Chinese medicine and expressed support for Wang Daxie's plan.
There were supporters and there were oppositions. As soon as he finished speaking, a classmate stood up, "My father was seriously ill before, and he searched all the well-known western doctors in Beijing Normal University, but none of them could cure him. After that, he had to go to Chinese medicine for diagnosis and treatment. It is expected that it only costs a few cents to buy medicine and the medicine will cure the disease, so it can be seen that Chinese medicine may not be superior to Western medicine, so it should be retained."
This is to support Chinese medicine from the perspective of clinical diagnosis and treatment. This kind of reason for supporting Chinese medicine is not uncommon even on the Internet in later generations. Chinese medicine has cured diseases that Western medicine cannot cure. Such cases appear frequently. Of course There are also countless examples of Chinese medicine curing the dead, and some people immediately brought up such cases to object.
The students spoke enthusiastically, whether they supported or opposed it, and their words became more and more fierce. Some even rolled up their sleeves. This reminded Shen Long of the lively scenes of quarrels between Chinese medicine fans and Chinese medicine blacks on the Internet in the future.
