Chapter 9 Xiao Chai Hu Soup
"What?"
Wu Ying was stunned, looked at him suspiciously, and said, "Why are you so good? You remember to study medicine? Besides, your uncle Dong is also a monk who became a monk halfway through. What are you learning from him?"
"I think studying medicine is good."
His father Chen Nan put down his job and said seriously: "Dong Haisheng came here in the countryside when he was educated youth and worked as a worker in the factory. However, he later became a doctor and took the doctor's certificate. A few years ago, he was transferred to the school infirmary as a school doctor. It was easy to work and benefits. Our children want to study medicine, so I think it's good."
"What do you know?"
Wu Ying glanced at him and said dissatisfiedly: "The high school entrance examination is about to be held. You should study hard at this time. What kind of medicine should you learn from Dong Haisheng?"
"Isn't it too good to suppress my body?"
Chen Nan said disapprovingly.
"Mom, don't worry, I just go to study every night, and it will not affect my study."
Chen Hao hurriedly said from the side.
Wu Ying thought about it, nodded reluctantly and said, "Okay, it's up to you." As she said that, she muttered, "It's great, why do you think about studying medicine?"
"I have read a few medical books recently and I think it's quite interesting."
Chen Hao found a reason and said with a smile: "I think being a doctor is good. Have you ever heard of a word? In this world, you can't bargain with only two kinds of money. The first is to see a doctor and the second is to tuition."
Wu Ying thought about it and nodded involuntarily.
As for what Chen Hao said about medical skills recently, they didn't find it strange, because since childhood, Chen Hao's biggest hobby is reading books. Anyway, he can read all kinds of idle books with relish.
After dinner, Chen Hao came to Dong Haisheng's house.
"Hey, Chen Hao, why did you remember it?"
Dong Haisheng, who is in his forties, wearing black-framed glasses, is sitting at home watching TV. When he saw Chen Hao coming in alone, he felt a little strange.
"Hello, Dong, I have read several medical books on traditional Chinese medicine recently, and I have some doubts and want to ask you."
Chen Hao said seriously.
"Yo!"
Dong Haisheng sat up from the sofa, surprised and curiously said: "You are still reading medical books? Are you real or fake?"
Medical books are not novels, especially traditional Chinese medicine books, which involve very abstract things such as Yin and Yang, Five Elements, and the Eight Meridians. Dong Haisheng doesn’t think that Chen Hao, a junior high school student, can understand it!
"Of course it's true."
Chen Hao smiled and said, "Otherwise, I wouldn't have come to ask you."
Dong Haisheng has a good impression of Chen Hao. The two families are very close. Chen Hao used to have a bad habit. He also liked to take a book when he went to the open-air public toilet and squatted there to read. Dong Haisheng has met many times. Every time he would say that Chen Hao loves reading so much, he will definitely go to college in the future.
"Don't worry. I'll test you first, see if you understand or not."
Dong Haisheng thought for a while, pointed to a point on his wrist and said, "What kind of acupoint is this?"
The most common thing in many traditional Chinese medicine clinics is a picture of human acupuncture points hanging on the walls.
When learning traditional Chinese medicine, you must accurately identify acupoints. Just like learning Chinese, the first step is to learn pinyin, which is all knowledge that you must know.
"This is Taiyuan acupoint."
Chen Hao smiled.
"Where is here?"
Dong Haisheng moved his finger and then asked.
"Shaofu acupoint!"
"here?"
"Neiguan acupoint!"
Dong Haisheng breathed a sigh of relief and asked more than a dozen acupoints. Chen Hao didn't have to think about it and answered them all.
"Chen Hao, I didn't expect you to actually read medical books."
Now, Dong Haisheng really believed it. After all, no one would be bored to remember these acupoints. He became serious and said, "Tell me, what questions do you want to ask?"
"Teacher Dong, I would like to ask, I saw some cases in many medical books that can be cured by using the prescription "Xiao Chaihu Decoction". From colds and coughs to stones and hepatitis, everything works. Why is this?"
Chen Hao raised the question he had thought of long ago.
Dong Haisheng was stunned again. The questions Chen Hao asked were completely beyond his expectations. To be honest, he had discovered the problem of Xiao Chaihu Decoction long ago.
But as for why, to be honest, Dong Haisheng couldn't explain it accurately.
After pondering for a while, Dong Haisheng said vaguely: "Chen Hao, this Xiao Chaihu Decoction is indeed a wonderful prescription. Just like what you said, it is widely used, from colds and coughs to stone hepatitis, it can have a good therapeutic effect. As for the reason, it is very complicated..."
"Teacher Dong, I think this should be because Xiao Chaihu Decoction has the characteristics of 'and', right?"
Chen Hao interrupted him and said seriously.
"and?"
Dong Haisheng frowned.
"I think, in the eyes of traditional Chinese medicine, many diseases are caused by 'disharmony', such as yin and yang discord, exterior and interior discord, emotional discord, etc. The prescription for Xiao Chaihu Decoction says this, Xiao Chaihu Decoction reconciles, Pinellia ginseng sweetly, Scutellaria baicalensis, ginger and jujube, Shaoyang is the disease, the first sentence in the prescription has been explained very clearly. Its greatest effect is to harmonize, like a peacemaker. Therefore, the purpose of smooth cure can be achieved in many different diseases."
