So, he selected three places to explore mysterious things.
These three places are China, the island country and Korea.
At the beginning, his target order was the island country, Korea and China...
Later, after he heard Chen Yuanyuan mention Ye Fengyun, he decided to go to China to meet Ye Fengyun first.
Later, Ye Fengyun went out for something, and he changed his schedule again.
And now, he is in Korea.
At this time, the person responsible for entertaining him was Park Yi-man, the president of the Korea Korean Medical Association.
This so-called Korean Medical Association is actually somewhat similar to the Traditional Chinese Medicine Association of China.
And this old man is the president of the local medical association in Korea.
In fact, the so-called Korean medicine is very similar to the traditional Chinese medicine of China. It also relies on observation, smell, inquiry and diagnosis, as well as acupuncture, massage, and taking medicinal materials for treatment...
As for the official question, why are Korean medicine and Chinese medicine so similar?
Isn't this simple?
Because this country was once a vassal state of China.
Their so-called Korean medicine evolved from Chinese traditional medicine.
At that time, the plague was raging in Goryeo and there were few famous doctors. Therefore, some doctors were sent to China at that time to study medicine...
These doctors worshiped some Chinese traditional Chinese medicine doctors as their teachers in the Chinese country, brought Chinese medicine back to the country, and changed it a little bit, and renamed it Korean medicine.
At this moment, Park Yiwan raised his glass and toasted to Woodman with a flattering smile on his face.
Woodman was also very polite. He picked up the sake glass and said with a smile: "President Park, you're welcome."
When Woodman saw Pu Yiwan drain the glass of wine, he also drank the wine in the glass with a smile, and said with his tongue: "This Korean sake is really good."
When Pu Yi heard this, he immediately said proudly: "Dr. Woodman, you don't know, I ordered someone to brew my sake myself. It is well-made and has a pure taste, which is far beyond the comparison of other wines.
Even Maotai, the national brew of China, cannot be compared with my sake!"
When Woodman heard what Pu Yiwan said, he just smiled and didn't say much.
Because, from the moment he met Park Yiwan.
This old man has been boasting about how long the history of Korea is and how good Korea is.
Moreover, even if he boasts about himself, he has repeatedly compared himself with China and belittled China in various ways...
For example, this sake actually tastes average, but Mr. Pu insists on comparing it with the Chinese liquor Moutai, and says that the Chinese Moutai is far inferior to it.
Although Woodman is not Chinese and has only drunk Moutai once, he still feels that Moutai is a hundred times better than this sake.
But in front of the master, he couldn't say much!
"President Park, I am a doctor. It is said that my trip to the East is actually to explore the mysterious medicine of the East.
I first came to the island country, then came to your country, and I am about to go to China. I would like to ask you what you think of the Chinese medicine in China, as well as the island medicine in the island country and the Korean medicine in your country?"
Woodman looked at Park Yiwan and asked seriously.
Woodman is an old man with a strong thirst for knowledge and a strong desire to study.
At this moment, when he was facing the Korean Medicine President of Korea, who was also a master of Korean medicine at the level of Taesan Beidou, he asked such a question. Naturally, he wanted to see what this Korean doctor, Taesan Beidou, had to say!
Sure enough, when Park Yiwan heard Woodman ask this question, he immediately put down his wine glass, his pride was palpable.
Then, he talked eloquently: "Dr. Woodman, I don't want to belittle anyone, let me tell you this! The island doctors of the island country are indeed quite miraculous, but the Chinese medicine of the Chinese country is just learned
I’m just a Korean doctor!”
"!"
When Woodman heard Park Yiwan's words, he was slightly startled.
According to Old Man Park, the Chinese medicine practitioners of China learned from Korean medicine?
Have you only scratched the surface?!
But according to the history that Woodman knows, it seems that Goryeo has always been a vassal state of China...
The Goryeo Kingdom paid tribute to the Chinese Kingdom every year, became a vassal every year, learned Chinese culture, etc.
How come it got into the hands of this old man and the other way around?
Woodman did not refute him, but asked: "President Park, I would like to hear the details."
Pu Yiwan said with a proud smile: "Dr. Woodman, you will probably feel strange after hearing what I say! Why do I say that Chinese traditional Chinese medicine has only scratched the surface of our Korean medicine?"
"Yes, I'm very surprised. As far as I know, many people in China say that Korean medicine is traditional Chinese medicine. How come it seems to be the other way around here?" Woodman asked with a smile.
"laugh!"
Pu Yiwan couldn't help but sneered: "Dr. Woodman, Chinese people, don't you know? They have always been arrogant and boast that they are in heaven!!
Moreover, they dared to say boldly that our country, Koryo, was their vassal state and we paid them tribute and so on...
But what they don't know is that it is recorded in our classics that more than a thousand years ago, our mighty general Goryeo defeated the emperor of the Tang Dynasty and blinded their emperor in one eye with an arrow.
Later, the mighty general led thousands of troops and unified the northern basin of the Yellow River in China... You should understand what I mean, right?"
"..."
After hearing this, Woodman suddenly looked strange and said: "Well, President Park, we are not talking about war, we are only talking about medicine."
"Okay! Then I'll talk about medicine! In fact, Dr. Woodman, some shameless Chinese people say that our Korean medicine from Korea has learned from their Chinese medicine.
Their reason is that the diagnostic methods and treatment methods of Korean medicine are almost the same as those of traditional Chinese medicine, so they assume that we have learned from him! ...Haha! In fact, this is simply the most ridiculous thing in the world!"
"Isn't it?" Woodman said.
"We in Korea have a book called "The Great Korean Medical Code", which records in detail that Chinese medicine practitioners in China learned from our Korean medicine!" Park Yiwan said proudly.
"Oh? How do you say that?"
"That was a long, long time ago, probably when Qin Shihuang of China proclaimed himself emperor.
In fact, at that time, our medical skills in Korea were already very advanced.
The Emperor of Qin at that time sent alchemists across the sea, first to our country of Korea, and then to the island country. From this, he learned the advanced medical skills of us and the island country!
Later, they brought Korean medicine and island medicine back to Qin, which was the origin of Chinese traditional medicine...
In other words, the local medical skills of our Korea and island countries can be regarded as teachers of Chinese traditional medicine!"
Pu Yiwan paused for a moment, then said with great pride: "Moreover, archaeological discoveries in our country of Korea show that we already had advanced acupuncture techniques 2,700 years ago!
It is enough to show that Chinese medicine in China is learned from us, and we are their teachers!"
"..."
After hearing what Park Yiwan said, Woodman felt like his outlook was ruined.
As far as he knew, Huaxia was an ancient civilization with a history of five thousand years. How come from Park Yiwan's words, their country, Goryeo, seemed to be older and more awesome?
