Chapter 368 The Controversy Between Chinese Medicine and Island Medicine
Jiang Xiaofeng also frowned after listening to Hong Zhenshan's opening remarks.
The dispute between traditional Chinese medicine, island medicine, and Korean medicine in Korea has actually been going on for a long time.
The main contradictions and struggles lie in three points -
First, which country has the most powerful traditional medical skills?
Second, which country has the most authentic traditional medical skills?
Third, which country’s traditional medical skills are the origin of the medical skills of the Three Kingdoms.
The view held by the Huaxia Kingdom is that Chinese Traditional Chinese Medicine is naturally the most powerful, Chinese Traditional Chinese Medicine is authentic, and Chinese Traditional Chinese Medicine is the origin of the traditional medical skills of the Three Kingdoms!
Of course, this view is obviously an indisputable fact!
Because both the island country and the Koryo Kingdom were vassals of the Chinese Kingdom in history, it is not an exaggeration to say that they paid tribute every year and became vassals every year.
Even the king of their country must be canonized by the Chinese emperor...
The most important thing is that in history, the island country and the Koryo Kingdom have always sent many scholars to China to study the Chinese poetry, poetry, architecture, art...
Of course, this also includes medical skills.
These things are recorded in history books and cannot be faked.
As for the view held by the island countries, they also admit that island doctors have indeed learned and borrowed from Chinese traditional medicine.
But they also believe that their island doctors, precisely because they have learned from Chinese traditional medicine and combined with some of their country’s traditional medical skills, are better than their predecessors!
In other words, island medicine practitioners believe that island medicine is not inherited from Chinese traditional medicine, but only learned and borrowed from Chinese traditional medicine!
And when it comes to the efficacy of medical skills, they believe that island doctors are better than Chinese medicine!
Of course, the most shameless one among them is Goryeo.
Goryeo has been a vassal state of China for thousands of years. Their culture, clothing, and architecture are almost the same as those of China.
Not to mention the medical skills!
That is directly inherited from Chinese traditional medicine, and we have only scratched the surface of Chinese traditional medicine!
Just like that, they dare to make wild claims, saying that Chinese traditional Chinese medicine originated from Korean medicine, and Korean medicine is the teacher of traditional Chinese medicine!
Moreover, they even clamored that Chinese traditional Chinese medicine has only scratched the surface of Korean medicine and is far behind Korean medicine!
In short, the group of Korean medicine practitioners in Korea are extremely shameless. They ignore historical facts and make up nonsense. Their shamelessness is a hundred times higher than that of the island country!
This time, the island doctor will send a delegation to this city, which attracts great attention from the medical association of this city!
Of course, the city also attaches great importance to it.
The city leaders gave Hong Zhenshan of the Medical Association three requirements: first, to receive him well; second, not to take the initiative to cause trouble, but not afraid of it; third, if the other party provokes a challenge, then completely crush him!
No, the purpose of Hong Zhenshan's meeting is to talk about these three points.
And the reason why he called Jiang Xiaofeng over was obvious.
The island doctor is coming to compete in the clinic. Of course, the youngest "leading figure" in the field of traditional Chinese medicine in this city has to come, and he will even represent the traditional Chinese medicine in the competition!
Hong Zhenshan signaled everyone to stop talking, and then said: "The city has given instructions, and the instructions mainly include three points -
First, we must receive the island medical delegation well and not let them think we are rude;
Second, we do not take the initiative to stir up trouble, but we are not afraid of it. If the other party slights us in any way, we will fight back!
After all, China today is no longer the poor and weak China it was sixty or seventy years ago!
Third, and most importantly, when the island doctors come, they will definitely challenge our Chinese traditional medicine.
Because this has happened many times in history...
Therefore, I want everyone here, who are mainly Chinese medicine practitioners of course, to have a mental picture.
When people come, if they challenge us, we should not be afraid, we should fight back immediately and let them know how powerful our Chinese medicine is!"
"That's necessary! A mere island doctor has only scratched the surface of my Chinese medicine! Isn't it trivial to defeat him?"
"Haha, just let those devils come and see if I don't crush them!"
"..."
Many old Chinese medicine practitioners present were filled with indignation and shouted that they would crush the island doctors.
Jiang Xiaofeng was sitting in his seat with a calm expression, not filled with the indignation of those old Chinese doctors.
The reason why Jiang Xiaofeng acted so calmly was because he knew that although the island doctors learned from Chinese traditional medicine, in fact they were quite powerful and very talented.
It can be said that there are many island doctors who are much more powerful than many old Chinese doctors here!
Island people have one advantage, that is, they are extremely good at learning and developing.
They are not like us Chinese, who pursue Western things one-sidedly and dismiss the things of the older generation...
The islanders attach great importance to their traditional island medicine.
Those superb island doctors basically carefully train the next generation, and the next generation also study island medicine seriously.
Therefore, Jiang Xiaofeng looks very calm on the surface, but is actually a little helpless and entangled in his heart.
Hong Zhenshan signaled everyone to be quiet, and then said: "Next, let me talk about the basic arrangements for the arrival of the island doctor.
This island medical delegation is mainly practitioners of traditional medical skills from the island countries, and they are benchmarked against our Chinese traditional medicine.
Therefore, the meeting decided that the Municipal Traditional Chinese Medicine Association would take the lead in receiving the island medical delegation.
Shang Zhiyang, the president of the Traditional Chinese Medicine Association, is in charge of the reception and is fully responsible for the reception. Let’s adjourn the meeting.”
The meeting ended so neatly.
After the meeting, Hong Zhenshan called Jiang Xiaofeng to the office.
Hong Zhenshan personally poured tea for Jiang Xiaofeng and said with a smile: "The island medical delegation is coming, what do you think?"
Jiang Xiaofeng looked at Hong Zhenshan and smiled bitterly: "What can I think? Didn't you arrange for the Traditional Chinese Medicine Association to be responsible for the reception? I am an outsider and it has nothing to do with me, right?"
"Hey? How can it have nothing to do with you? I also said at the meeting that the island medical delegation came here, saying they came to learn and discuss medical skills, but in fact they came to compete!" Hong Zhenshan said.
"I understand this."
Jiang Xiaofeng nodded.
Jiang Xiaofeng knows that island countries have always been on the same page as China.
It is nonsense to say that they are sending a delegation of island doctors to study and exchange. They are actually just here to compete!
He could also vaguely understand Hong Zhenshan's purpose in calling him here.
Hong Zhenshan looked at Jiang Xiaofeng and said with a smile: "Miracle Doctor Jiang, to be honest, I am actually very worried about the island doctor challenging our traditional Chinese medicine!"
"Oh? Why do you say that?"
Jiang Xiaofeng frowned and asked.
"Isn't this obvious? Although our Chinese traditional Chinese medicine is profound and mysterious, but look at the traditional Chinese medicine practitioners in our city, how many of them are serious about studying traditional Chinese medicine? How many of them have truly understood the essence of traditional Chinese medicine?
They say they are ‘miraculous doctors’, but in fact many of them are just seeking fame and reputation. If the island doctors come, can they be their rivals?”
Hong Zhenshan said bluntly.
"..."
Jiang Xiaofeng knew that Hong Zhenshan was a straight man and would say whatever he wanted.
Now, he has such contempt for the old Chinese medicine doctors in this city. It can be imagined that those old Chinese medicine doctors must be really bad.
Hong Zhenshan looked at Jiang Xiaofeng and said: "Mr. Jiang, I don't look down on Chinese medicine. On the contrary, I respect Chinese medicine very much. However, I really don't trust the Chinese medicine practitioners in our city..."
