Chapter 109: Doctors Don’t Knock (Chapter Two)
"This is a directional stone. The four corners face east, west, north and south respectively. The Incas also used it to identify the stars, determine the seasons, and serve farming."
"Professor, what is that stone tower on the top of the mountain?"
"Oh, that's the famous Sun-Tuan Stone. It's a convex-shaped boulder combination, with a stone pile standing upright on a flat boulder about 2 meters long and marked with scales."
"Sun-tying stone, a stone that ties the sun?" Yan Zixiu was very curious. There is a Kuafu chasing the sun in China, so here we have to tie the sun.
"Yes, Doctor Yan. The Incas who worshiped the sun in those days were always worried that the sun would set in the west and never rise again, so they erected a sun stone at the highest point of the ancient city. During the annual Sun Festival, they prayed for the sun's return, which would symbolize
Sexually tethering the sun to
On the stone pile. The sun stone is actually a sundial. The vertical stone pile will cast a shadow on the flat boulder as the sun moves. The shadows at different positions can be used to determine time changes and seasonal changes, thereby arranging agricultural work such as sowing and harvesting.
Activity."
"That's it." Yan Zixiu nodded, "It seems that this Inca's astronomical wisdom and achievements are not low."
Professor Marshall said with admiration: "Yes. It's not just an astronomical achievement. Look at these ancient city walls, which are built with precisely cut stones without mortar or adhesive materials.
The thin blades; these trapezoidal doors and windows and the walls that are slightly inclined inward and butt against each other have strong earthquake resistance and flood prevention functions; and the water supply channels with semicircular stone slices fastened up and down have cleaning and anti-evaporation functions.
"
Diana asked: "Professor, how did the Inca dig and transport hundreds of tons of boulders to the top of the mountain? How did they build a tight, smooth stone wall without any adhesive materials?"
Professor Marshall spread his hands: "God knows. I only know that this is the most splendid urban building during the heyday of the Inca Empire. It is an ancient city relic that plays an important role in the history of world astronomy and architecture."
The students were a little helpless. It seemed that these historical mysteries could not be solved.
After the tour was almost done, everyone started walking down.
The beautiful terraced fields stretch as far as the eye can see, and you can imagine how developed agriculture was here hundreds of years ago.
Everyone can't help but lament that civilization has been lost and only the mountains and rivers remain.
Looking back again, this huge city wall and steps seem to be naturally formed in the cliffs. The entire site is worthy of being a treasure of Inca culture, one of the New Seven Wonders of the World, and one of the top ten nostalgic holy places in the world.
Diana suddenly asked Yan Zixiu: "Doctor Yan, you have such superb medical skills and such a kind heart. Why don't you advertise? How wonderful it would be to let those who are sick come to see you and recover."
"Of course it is my wish to make everyone disease-free and happy. But it is not certain whether people believe it or not. Diana, if you don't believe it, try it now and advertise it to the tourists in front of you to see if they believe it."
It doesn't work if there is no fate, and it doesn't work if there is a fate and you don't believe it. Yan Zixiu has already asked about Wuyou.
Diana actually took a few steps and shouted to the tourists passing by: "Hey, guys, we have a miracle doctor from the East who can rejuvenate his body. Everyone, come and take a look."
The tourists looked back at Diana and saw that she did not look like she had run away from a mental hospital. They all shook their heads and continued walking.
Diana turned around helplessly, feeling a little depressed when she saw Yan Zixiu's expression as if he was right.
"Diana, when we first met Dr. Yan, if he advertised like you, maybe we would be afraid of him too." Big braided Linda comforted her.
"Diana, we have a saying in China - Doctors don't knock on the door. If you don't have a chance, you can't force it. Even if you have a chance, it depends on the other person's openness. Therefore, the ideal of making the world disease-free can only be gradually promoted and implemented." Yan Zi
Xio was actually telling the students about the dialectical relationship between ideals and reality.
Professor Marshall said meaningfully: "Yes. If we in South America want to be independent and self-reliant, we cannot achieve it in a day or two."
Diana and her classmates were thoughtful after listening to this.
When we arrived at Hotwater Town, it was getting late.
Professor Marshall invited Yan Zixiu to have dinner and wanted to continue to ask him some questions about traditional Chinese medicine.
Since it helps spread medicine, Yan Zixiu is naturally very happy.
After dinner, everyone went to the four-star hotel where Professor Marshall and the others stayed.
The professor's room is a suite, with a bedroom inside and a large living room outside, which is more than enough for a dozen people to sit down.
When everyone sat down, Diana and Linda took the initiative to make tea, because they knew that Chinese people like to drink tea.
Professor Marshall looked at the two students with satisfaction and asked Yan Zixiu: "Dr. Yan, when we were on the mountain, you said that Chinese traditional Chinese medicine diagnoses diseases by looking, smelling, asking, examining, and regulating the yin and yang of the human body. We diagnose and treat diseases.
I have seen it all before. Please ask Dr. Yan to explain how to regulate the yin and yang of the human body."
Yan Zixiu is the best at this: "Professor, everything has yin and yang. The human body naturally also has yin and yang. Yin and yang are two forces of relative motion. Yang qi rises, yin qi falls, yang qi radiates, yin qi recovers, and you work during the day and at night.
Rest is the balance of yin and yang. If there is an imbalance, you will get sick. To regulate yin and yang is to rebalance the unbalanced power. The secret of yin and yang is to heal the spirit, and the body will be restored to health."
"Then can you explain it based on today's case?"
"Of course. For example, David, why did he suffer from cervical spondylosis? It was because he encountered obstacles in the process of generating yang energy. He felt that something was right and good, but was suppressed by someone. David
Psychological depression causes qi and blood to stagnate, which eventually leads to stiff necks, headaches, and numb hands." Yan Zixiu analyzed in detail.
David was very surprised: "Dr. Yan, how do you know? I was really not convinced by someone. I was obviously doing the right thing, but I was blocked by him. It was after that incident that I had cervical vertebra problems.
of."
Yan Zixiu quoted from the classics: "Everyone studies philosophy and must know the principle of universal connection of things. Our mind and body are also closely connected. Specific moods will lead to specific changes in Qi and blood. An unconvinced mentality will cause
The qi and blood go up along the neck. According to our traditional Chinese medicine, when you are angry, the qi rises."
"So, if I am still not convinced next time, the cervical spondylosis will recur?" People who study philosophy are very smart, and David immediately understood.
"Yes. This is why I stayed here to share the principles of psychosomatic diseases with you. I don't want your cervical spine to have problems again after I leave." Yan Zixiu said with a smile.
"What should I do?" David asked anxiously.
"Change your character, and you will be fine in the future. Your current character is straight forward and will not turn around. You have to open a road through the mountains and compete with the mountains. Chinese Taoists say that the best is like water. Water will not compete with mountains. You
If you don't let me pass directly, I will take a detour. Anyway, it will be fine if I can reach the sea in the end." Yan Zixiu inspired him.
"The best thing is like water?" The students were all touched.
David silently understood Dr. Yan's words.
Linda, who had long braids, brought the brewed tea over and asked, "Dr. Yan, what about me? What should I do if the Ningshen incense you gave me runs out?"
"Linda, your insomnia is also related to your personality. You like to be anxious, think too much, look at problems too much about good and bad, and hope for good and fear bad. Am I right?"
Everyone was shocked again. It’s just that diseases can be seen through observation. Can it also reveal people’s personalities?
"Haha. Doctor Yan, I am really impressed by you. You described the characters of David and Linda perfectly. What kind of knowledge is this?" Professor Marshall said with a smile.
Yan Zixiu also laughed: "This is called Chinese medicine psychology. Linda's insomnia is due to excessive yang energy dispersion and insufficient yin energy recovery. In the future, you can practice more mindfulness meditation to calm your mind, and your insomnia will be cured naturally."
Linda said solemnly: "Dr. Yan, I will keep what you said in mind."
Diana was most concerned about the teacher and asked: "Dr. Yan, what psychology is related to our teacher's stomach trouble?"
"Stomach trouble means resisting what has happened. If my guess is correct, Professor Marshall once was very unacceptable to a certain person. For example, a certain person who was transferred to your school, but even if you didn't accept it, he would come. This
This kind of psychological confrontation eventually affects the physiological level subconsciously. And the psychological confrontation is most likely to produce inflammation." Yan Zixiu saw the situation back then through time regression, but he did not explain it clearly.
"That's right!" Professor Marshall was touched and placed the tea cup heavily on the coffee table. "I haven't been able to think about this for many years. I feel sick in my stomach when I think about it. But if I don't think about it, it will take the initiative.
It emerged in my heart. I just used reason to suppress my emotions." After speaking, he sighed.
"Professor, you don't accept that person into the school. Then do you accept your own resistance?"
Professor Marshall is a very savvy person, and he immediately realized: "Haha, I don't accept my own, and I don't accept it a bit."
He suddenly felt more relaxed: "Oh, Doctor Yan, I didn't expect you to be a brilliant master of psychology. Come, I'll give you a toast with tea instead of wine."
Yan Zixiu also laughed and raised his teacup to greet him.
It feels easy to communicate with people who study philosophy.
He put down the tea cup and said: "Professor, I have a few more insights to share with you. If you encounter any troubles in the future, you can try it."
Diana was so impressed by Dr. Yan that she quickly found paper and pen.
"These are a few words summarized by my teacher. First, at this moment, am I eager for success or eager to get rid of it? Second, do I feel that the current situation should not occur? Third, is my opinion 100% correct?
Four, is my idea 100% the best? Five, is my feeling 100% true?”
Yan Zixiu relayed what Wuyou told him to everyone, but did not explain it.
He believed that with the wisdom of these people, it was easy to understand the principles and learn to apply them.
The students looked for paper and took notes.
Professor Marshall trimmed his gray hair and said with emotion: "I didn't expect that. I've been here several times, and this time I gained the most."
Yan Zixiu said sincerely: "Professor, I am lucky to know you teachers and students who have such a harmonious relationship. There are many teachers and students and classmates who are wary of each other and jealous of each other."
When the professor heard this, he was quite pleased. This was indeed something he was proud of.
Yan Zixiu looked at it and felt that he had explained everything clearly to everyone, so he said: "Professor, classmates, I want to say goodbye to everyone."
Everyone was stunned, why did it end before we even said a few words?
In fact, I have already said a lot. It’s just that when people meet close friends, they naturally feel that time flies by.
"Dr. Yan, what time is it? Why are you leaving in such a hurry?" Diana asked. Every time she spoke, she could basically represent everyone. This was her level.
"Haha, I still have something to do." Yan Zixiu stood up.
Of course, he can't say that his retreat time is limited. If he has something to say, it will be long, if he has nothing to say, it will be short. He has no capital to chat here at the moment.
"In that case." The professor and others also stood up quickly. Although they were reluctant to say goodbye, they could not delay Dr. Yan's business.
Professor Marshall stretched out his hand and said, "Then I hope we can meet soon next time."
