Chapter 408: The most evil traditional Chinese medicine doctor in modern times, Yu Yunxiu is a waste of traditional Chinese medicine
Old Dengtou, after hearing this, chewed his teeth and said:
"Tsk...that's not right!"
"Your grandfather had several students at the time, and they are all in the capital now."
"For example, I know that his eldest disciple Qi Yong is the director of pediatrics at Yanjing Hospital directly under the Ministry of Health."
"There is also Lin Yongsheng, who is also the director of the Department of Traditional Chinese Medicine at Jishuitan Hospital."
"You have no contact with your family?"
Dialect shook his head:
"As far as I know, my family probably doesn't have one."
"This is the first time I have heard the names of these two people."
Old Dengtou said:
"Then I guess you are in contact with your uncle and the others, right?"
Fang Yan thought about it and felt that the probability was not high, shrugged and said:
"Maybe."
Old Dengtou continued to ask:
"Why, it's always your grandpa, right?"
Dialect is dumbfounded:
"What are you talking about? Of course it's my grandpa."
Old Dengtou said to him:
"Since you are your grandpa, why don't you leave some inheritance to your descendants? Your grandpa, Lao He, has been a Chinese medicine practitioner for several generations, and his apprentices have taught him so much. Why didn't he leave a legacy for you?"< br>
Dialect shook his head:
"He died suddenly, and none of my uncles succeeded him."
“My mother even studied Western medicine. She only read a few Chinese medicine books as an introduction when she was a child.”
"I was born in 1955, and I was only two years old when my grandfather passed away."
"My medical skills were self-taught in my early years, and later I learned from my master Lu Donghua, and then I learned bits and pieces from several elders in the medical field."
"My grandpa is good at pediatrics, but I haven't even seen a single medical record."
Hearing this, Old Deng looked thoughtful.
Then he shook his head and said:
"It's a pity, it's a pity. He really left in a hurry and didn't explain anything."
"But you are not bad now. I think his soul in heaven is also very happy."
After hearing this, Fang Yan bowed his hands to the old man.
After this small talk, Fang Yan glanced at the time and found that it was already twelve o'clock. He took off his white coat and said goodbye to everyone in the store. He also specifically told Mr. Deng to be careful on the way home, and then rode towards his home. Go in the direction.
I just chatted with Old Dengtou for a while about the debate between Chinese and Western medicine, which made Fang Yan very emotional.
In fact, when it comes to arguing, Fang Yan feels that this word is not used accurately.
To be precise, it should be that Chinese medicine has never launched an attack.
It's all about passive defense.
Some people really want to get rid of traditional Chinese medicine.
Among them, I have to mention Yu Yunxiu, who has repeatedly proposed the abolition of traditional Chinese medicine in modern times.
When I was in college, every time the old professor mentioned this person, he had mixed emotions.
Therefore, Fang Yan had a very deep impression on this man's life.
At first, he was just an ordinary person. Later, in 1898, when twenty-year-old Yu Yunxiu was admitted to the Suzhou Academy, he began to become different after being exposed to the knowledge of Western medicine for the first time.
At that time, there was a teacher in Suzhou Prefecture School who had returned from studying in Japan. He often introduced the development of Japanese medicine to students like them, which made Yu Yunxiu have a strong impression of Western medicine.
In 1905, Yu Yunxiu got the opportunity to study in Japan at public expense. After that, he first worked in the Japan Sports Association, and then worked again in Tokyo Physics School. In 1908, he entered Osaka Medical University and began to systematically study Western medicine. During this period, it was discovered that Western medicine does have significant advantages in surgery and disinfection, but it is not as good as Chinese medicine in treating some chronic diseases.
After graduating and returning to China, he opened a clinic in Shanghai in 1916 and began to treat patients using a combination of Chinese and Western methods. In practice, he gradually discovered that it was quite difficult to combine the two medical systems.
One year later, in 1917, Yu Yunxiu published the famous black book on traditional Chinese medicine "Ling Su Shang Dui", in which he began to analyze many topics in the traditional Chinese medicine classic "Huangdi Neijing" based on the Western medical knowledge at that time. Detailed criticism.
It includes the yin and yang and the five elements, the five internal organs, the physiology of the internal organs, the twelve meridians, the meridians and meridians, the visual inspection, hearing, inquiry, diagnosis, pathogens, lesions, etc.
He proposed that traditional Chinese medicine originated from witchcraft, and equated traditional Chinese medicine with witchcraft. He believed that concepts such as stems and branches, season, color and taste, meridians and organs were pure illusions and insufficient to form the basis of accurate scholarship. He profoundly criticized the yin-yang and five-element theories in medicine.
He also uses Western anatomy and physiology points of view to prove that the theories in the "Huangdi Neijing" are nothing but nonsense and absurd, pointing out that this book is just the imagination of laymen.
Then for the first time in this book, he proposed the idea of abolishing medicine and preserving medicine, criticizing Chinese medicine, and even said:
"If we don't destroy the Yellow Emperor's Internal Classic, we can't eliminate the source of its disaster"
"TCM is the culprit of murder"
"If traditional Chinese medicine is not eliminated, it will not only hinder the prosperity of the nation and the improvement of people's livelihood, but also be detrimental to the improvement of its international status."
The fierce words show that he hates Chinese medicine deeply.
This book caused a huge response in the medical community as soon as it appeared. Some people praised him for having the courage to face the issues of traditional Chinese medicine, while others accused him of denying traditional Chinese medicine culture.
Yun Tieqiao, a famous Chinese medicine scientist at that time, wrote a special article criticizing Yu Yunxiu's views in his book "Qun Jing Jian Zhi Lu".
Professor Wang Yuchuan's teacher, Lu Yuanlei, was not to be outdone and confronted him tit for tat in the newspaper.
This time, Yu Yunxiu began to emerge on the anti-TCM front.
Because he didn't have enough influence, he declared bankruptcy.
Then he seemed to change his temper again.
In 1925, Yu Yunxiu was invited to attend the Far East Tropical Diseases Conference.
At the meeting, he used actual cases to prove that traditional Chinese medicine has unique advantages in the diagnosis and treatment of certain diseases.
It was pointed out that the records of scrofula and tuberculosis in the Tang Dynasty medical book "Cui Shi Bie Lu" were more than a thousand years earlier than Western medicine. This view aroused great interest among the experts attending the meeting. At this time, he seemed to be recognized as a Chinese medicine practitioner again.
However, in the same year, the Chinese education community held meetings in Changsha and Taiyuan, passed relevant proposals, and decided to incorporate traditional Chinese medicine into the school system.
When the matter was submitted to the Ministry of Education for approval, Yu Yunxiu suddenly came out and united many people to petition the Ministry of Education to resolutely resist.
At that time, the Ministry of Education used this as an excuse to flatly reject TCM's request to enter the university subject system.
Years of hard work by the Chinese medicine community have failed. Since then, the relationship between Chinese and Western medicine has rapidly deteriorated, and the two camps have become increasingly hostile.
What really made him known to the public was at a conference a few years later.
The first Central Health Commission meeting was held in the 18th year of the Republic of China. Before the meeting, Yu Yunxiu drafted the "Abolition of Old Medicine to Remove Obstacles to Health Care."
Yu Yunxiu clearly stipulated the reasons, principles and specific methods for abolishing traditional Chinese medicine. He believed that traditional Chinese medicine had no status in health administration and should be abolished immediately.
He cited four reasons for its abolition. Yu's conclusion for these four reasons is: "As long as the old medicine is not eliminated, the people's thinking will not change, the new medicine will not make progress, and the health administration will not progress."
This issue was discussed at the conference. Except for the deputy director of the medical field and two counselors who were skeptical, the rest of the people unanimously approved it.
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
It is worth mentioning that not a single Chinese medicine practitioner attended this meeting.
Then on February 26th, the Shanghai "News" first made the matter public. A few days later, the "Social Medical News" edited by Yu Yunxiu published a special issue of the Central Health Commission.
As soon as this case came out, people from all walks of life were shocked.
At that time, Chinese medicine practitioners across the country were in an uproar and the public was furious.
Countless traditional Chinese medicine families from the north and the south, and doctors from many traditional Chinese medicine clinics, either took to the streets to protest or came to sit in front of the newspaper office.
Famous Chinese medicine practitioners, as well as people from all walks of life, have begun to speak out for Chinese medicine in newspapers.
The traditional Chinese medicine community began to publish announcements and calls on the convening of the National Medical Group Conference in Shanghai in Shanghai News, Shenbao, and Current Affairs News.
These newspapers also published editorials one after another, tracking and reporting on the protests and rallies in the traditional Chinese medicine community and providing public support.
With the support and response from the public opinion circle, various protest rallies held by the traditional Chinese medicine community and letters and messages opposing the abolition of traditional Chinese medicine were published in major newspapers and periodicals, forming a massive public opinion offensive.
At that time, there was no unified opinion within the National Government on the issue of the preservation and abolition of traditional Chinese medicine.
Among them, some political figures represented by Wang Jingwei and Chu Minyi advocated the abolition of traditional Chinese medicine, while Kuomintang political figures such as Tan Yankai, Yu Youren, Lin Sen, Chen Guofu, and Jiao Yitang advocated the preservation of traditional Chinese medicine.
The nationwide protests launched by the traditional Chinese medicine community have attracted the attention of the whole society, and have also affected social stability and government prestige. The Nanjing National Government, which had just unified the country, was unwilling to cause greater social unrest due to some insignificant events.
In addition, there are too many people who support the Chinese medicine community.
Therefore, after large-scale protests broke out in the traditional Chinese medicine community, most of the KMT politicians publicly expressed their dissatisfaction with the Western medicine community's use of the Central Health Conference to abolish the traditional Chinese medicine case out of consideration for the stability of government rule.
So far, it is logical that the case to abolish traditional Chinese medicine has failed.
To celebrate this victory, March 17 has been designated as "China Medical Day" since 1929.
The country established a Chinese Medical Clinic and a branch clinic was established in WH City.
The second time, Yu Yunxiu's plan was aborted again.
After this incident, Yu Yunxiu once again ceased his activities. He began to devote himself to the reform of education integrating traditional Chinese and Western medicine and compiled a series of new textbooks. He advocated retaining the essence of traditional Chinese medicine while absorbing the scientific methods of Western medicine.
During this period, he cultivated a group of students who were indoctrinated by him.
Then came the third and most famous one.
In August 1950, the first National Health Conference was held grandly in Zhongshan Hall, the capital.
On the morning of the third day of the meeting, it was Yu Yunxiu's turn to speak. The then 72-year-old stood on the podium and once again proposed the motion to abolish traditional Chinese medicine in front of health workers across the country.
The whole audience was shocked again.
He elaborated on three reasons: first, the theory of traditional Chinese medicine lacks scientific basis, and the theory of yin and yang and the five elements is feudal superstition; second, the education of traditional Chinese medicine lacks standards and the master-disciple inheritance model is backward; third, the diagnostic method of traditional Chinese medicine is highly subjective and difficult to form a unified standard.
As soon as this statement came out, it immediately caused an uproar at the venue, and some Western medicine doctors agreed on the spot.
The Chinese medicine practitioners were furious, thinking of this "glorious history" from the previous two times, but they really didn't expect that after so many years, he would repeat the same old tune again.
However, He Cheng and Wang Bin, who were deputy ministers of health at the time, expressed support for Yu Yunxiu's proposal.
He Cheng pointed out during the discussion that the Soviet medical system completely adopted Western medicine and achieved remarkable results.
Wang Bin then proposed to follow the Soviet model and gradually eliminate old doctors.
Later, the Ministry of Health accepted Yu Yunxiu's ideas and stipulated that Chinese medicine practitioners must pass the Western medicine examination before they can practice.
At this point, Yu Yunxiu almost succeeded.
But then, Deng Tietao took the lead in issuing a counterattack.
Others responded one after another, and the momentum suddenly rose again.
The news quickly reached the ears of teachers.
After learning the news, his old man immediately held a meeting to discuss the matter.
Later, it was clearly pointed out that traditional Chinese medicine is a traditional cultural heritage and should not be underestimated.
Take Yan'an Central Hospital as an example. During the war years when antibiotics were extremely scarce, traditional Chinese medicine played an important role in the prevention and treatment of infectious diseases.
On the same day, two deputy ministers, He and Wang, were dismissed from their posts.
Yu Yunxiu's third plan to abolish traditional Chinese medicine failed again.
