The Medical Guru

Chapter 1988 Gut Wound to Hemorrhoids…

“How could someone who comes from a wealthy family and loves to read choose to study medicine?”

Fang Qiu faced the camera and raised a question, after a slight pause, before answering himself, “It turns out that when Li Dongguan was in his twenties, his mother fell ill, and even though his family was wealthy and invited many doctors to come to him they were ineffective in treating him, and he eventually died of the illness in a confused manner.”

“This incident, touched Li Dongguan greatly, and it was from that time that Li Dongguan set his mind to study medicine.”

“At that time, Li Dongyuan heard that Zhang Element of Yizhou had a great reputation, so he carried a heavy amount of money to go and learn from his master, and because he had a deep knowledge of writing, he learned very quickly, and in just a few years he had already learned very well.”

“After that, because the world was in war, the people lived in hunger, panic, and sorrow, and most of them did not have regularity in their living and eating, thus it was easy to injure the spleen and stomach, therefore, Li Dongyuan believed that it was not enough to just read the ancient prescriptions, but that it was necessary to face the new social realities, and to analyze the characteristics of the patients in order to study the prescriptions.”

“After years of research, Li Dongyuan’s unique theories responded to the characteristics of the times and reflected the results of his meticulous study of the Internal Canon and other writings, and his work on Spleen and Stomach had a significant impact on later generations of medical practitioners regarding spleen and stomach disorders as well as spleen and stomach oriented therapies, which played a great role in guiding them.”

Said here.

Fang Qiu stopped.

He’s pretty much told the story of Lee Dongwon’s life, and from what he’s said, the viewers watching this video should be able to get a pretty good idea of who Lee Dongwon is as a person.

About the more detailed things, Fang Qiu did not talk much, but answered the question with a generalization.

“After learning about Li Dongyuan as a whole, let’s talk a little more about, his Treatise on the Spleen and Stomach.”

After giving the audience watching the video a little bit of time to react, Fang Qiu took control of the entire program’s recording tempo while continuing to open his mouth and said, “As we all know, the theme of the Treatise on the Spleen and Stomach lies in discarding the old and accepting the new.”

“I believe that anyone who has read this book must be well aware that the Treatise on the Spleen and Stomach contains numerous quotations from the original texts of the Neijing, the Nanying, and the Typhoid.”

“From this point of view, it can be ascertained that Lee Dongwon’s standpoint is not a figment of the imagination, but is well founded.”

“However, knowing this still doesn’t help much because it still seems confusing because most of the people graduating from today’s TCM colleges and universities are educated in a system of discernment centered on the five organs, a system that actually didn’t exist in the past, and has only been around since the beginning of time when there has been a modern TCM education, which isn’t that long ago.”

“That is to say, to read and understand Li Dongyuan’s theory of spleen and stomach, one must first discard the rules and regulations learned in previous textbooks.”

“Here, I’ll give you an example.”

Saying this, Fang Qiu paused a little, and after probing, he opened his mouth and said, “In the chapter ‘Treatise on the Spleen and Stomach Treatise on Dietary Injury to the Spleen’, it is recorded that dietary exertion and fatigue injures the spleen. When food and drink are doubled, the intestines and stomach are injured. Intestinal 澼 is hemorrhoids.”

“The meaning of this sentence is to show that the root cause of spleen and stomach problems is caused by eating and drinking and caused by exertion, and it also says later that when the intestines and stomach are injured you will get diarrhea and hemorrhoids.”

“Hemorrhoids are listed in textbooks of Chinese medicine and surgery in a wide variety of evidence types, ranging from damp-heat underflow treatment, to evil-poison congestion treatment, to spleen deficiency and qi trapping treatment.”

“If you put aside the textbooks and accept this theory of Li Dongguan, in going to the clinical verification will feel wonderful, the results are very good.”

“Li Dongyuan said it is the intestines and stomach damage, so get hemorrhoids. So when you come across every hemorrhoid patient, ask carefully if there are any gastrointestinal symptoms, as long as you ask basically will not be disappointed, almost all intestinal problems.”

“With theoretical guidance comes therapeutic direction.”

Saying this, Fang Qiu smiled slightly and said, “Since it is caused by eating and drinking too much and laboring hard, the first thing to do is to eat and drink in a controlled manner, not to eat too much and too full, and not to be overly labored, and only then is to drink the tonics to regulate the solution.”

“So, patients who suffer from hemorrhoids, before you can’t stand hemorrhoids, it’s better to hurry up and regulate your diet first, the effect is often very good oh.”

The atmosphere lightened up considerably as these words were spoken.

“Having said that about hemorrhoids, let me give you another example.”

“Anyone who knows Lee Dongwon knows that Lee Dongwon specializes in the private use of wind medicine.”

“And this so-called wind medicine, is what Chinese medicine said the medicinal properties of the ascending and floating, with the dispersal of the ascending effect of the medicine, common: ascending hemp, Chaihu, Qiangwu, Duhuo, Fangfeng, cranberry, etc.”

“Go through Li Dongyuan’s Treatise on the Spleen and Stomach, and almost all of the formulas have these wind herbs that I listed.”

“So why does Li Dongguan prefer to use wind medicine?”

Fang Qiu paused and continued to add, “Here’s how I understand it, in Li Dongyuan’s Spleen and Stomach Bloom and Decline Wheel, the husband’s spleen and stomach deficiencies are all blood diseases, a deficiency of yang qi and an excess of yin qi.”

“What’s a yin?”

“The word is mentioned in many places in Li Dongyuan’s loss, yin qi, yin fire, and later medical practitioners did not expound to explain what exactly yin qi is, while I think the so-called yin qi is dampness.”

“This also attaches to the victorious function of the Spleen and Stomach, which is the main transporter, preferring dryness to dampness, and is prone to generate dampness once its function is restricted, or if it is not transported well.”

“The Treatise on the Sheng and Deterioration of the Spleen and Stomach and the chapters that follow, it is mentioned several times that all wind medicines are wind energy that wins over dampness, and that all sweet and warm medicines can do the same.”

……

On the stage, Fang Qiu with expression, body movements and so on, with this own explanation, want to try to every viewer of the video, are brought into their own rhythm inside, so as to understand the book, learn to the knowledge of Chinese medicine.

And offstage.

The team members who had been assigned by Ning Yuan to shoot and produce videos specifically for Fang Qiu were all filled with astonishment when they saw Fang Qiu talking eloquently on stage.

This kind of program, similar to a pulpit in general, they used to produce quite a few of them.

Although many master-level characters, and then look on TV, are speaking particularly good, particularly full of confidence, but in the process of recording, they are clearly aware of those so-called masters, speaking speaking is also wrong, and some of them even because of the age of slightly older, and speak a few sentences have to stop to turn over the book.

What’s more, they speak directly from the stage with a book.

The confidence shown on the TV program is, in fact, edited out by the camera production team behind the scenes, bit by bit.

Before coming to the shoot, every staff member of this team had already made preparations, not only had they set aside enough time, but they also brought along special word boards, with the purpose of being able to use the boards to give Fang Qiu some hints during the recording process.

But right now.

All the preparations they had made, surprisingly, were of no use at all.

Fang Qiu’s performance made all the staff of the entire filming team on the scene all very surprised, and all admired Fang Qiu from the bottom of their hearts.

Because from the moment he stepped onto the stage, Fang Qiu surprisingly didn’t even flip through the book, he just kept talking eloquently, exuding a feeling of extreme confidence.

Even.

Even the members of this photographic production team, who were idling on the stage because they didn’t need to help, were brought inside Fang Qiu’s pulpit along with his rhythms, unconsciously beginning to understand and learn about Chinese medicine.

This effect, Fang Qiu was very satisfied.

Since even these staff members, who have to keep this work in their minds at all times and can’t allow any accidents to occur on the scene, have been brought into their own rhythm, then once the video is online, most of the people watching the video can surely be brought into their own rhythm as well.

“Having given you two examples, I’m going to start with a little summary.”

Speaking, Fang Qiu didn’t seem to be speaking to the recording camera anymore, but to the staff members on the set who were caught up inside their own rhythms.

“Through the two examples I have just mentioned and the explanation of the relevant theories of the Treatise on Spleen and Stomach, I want to make it clear that in order to read and understand Li Dongguan, one must put aside the textbook style of identification and treatment that one has studied in the past, read more of the Nei Jing and the Typhoid Fever, and understand the essence of Li Dongguan’s thought from the theoretical system of the Nei Jing and the Typhoid Fever.”

“At the same time, I would like to emphasize one more thing: Clinical efficacy is the only criterion for testing theories!”

Having said that.

Fang Qiu stopped.

It was finally the first time that he picked up the book that was placed on the podium as all the staff on the floor watched.

Turn to the first page of the book.

Fang Qiu faced the recording camera straight on, and while lifting the book so that the camera could record the contents of the first page of the written text, he opened his mouth and said, “Now, we will officially begin to explain the contents of the first episode of the Treatise on the Spleen and Stomach.”

“In this episode, we’re going to take a look at the Spleen and Stomach Treatise Volume 1, Section 1: Spleen and Stomach Deficiency Transmission Treatise.”

“In The Five Viscera, it is said that the stomach, the large intestine, the small intestine, the triple jiao, the bladder, these five, the birth of the weather also ……”

Fang Qiu began to speak.

Soon.

Finish the first section.

After taking a short break and drinking a few mouthfuls of water, Fang Qiu continued to start explaining the second section.

From the “Diagrams on the Elevation, Floating, Sinking, Tonic and Diarrhea of the Dirty Qi” in the second section, to the “Theory on the Sheng and Decline of the Spleen and Stomach” in the third section, the “Soup to Tonify the Spleen and Stomach and Diarrhea Yin and Fire to Raise Yang” in the fourth section, the “Soup to Raise Yang and Benefit the Stomach” in the fifth section, etc. “The Theory of Deficiency of the Lungs, Spleen and Stomach”, Section 6 of “Rising Yang and Benefiting the Stomach” and so on.

A whole hundred and four bars.

Fang Qiu spoke each section with special care, and with the full cooperation of the camera production team, the one hundred and four vignettes were produced into a thirty-six episode program, and Fang Qiu took only three days to speak them all.

In the first thirty-three episodes, the entire book has been covered, and the last three episodes are about application, the practical operation of how to cure diseases using the theories in this book.

Let alone a normal audience.

Even the staff of the on-site filming team, after all thirty-six episodes of the program had been recorded, had learned a lot of methods and techniques for treating spleen and stomach disorders from Fang Qiu’s teaching.

This situation made all the staff at the scene particularly shocked and admiring of Fang Qiu.

After the recording is done.

Because there was no need to do any post-production, it only took the production team one night to make it all, and the finished product was all but out the next day.
