Chapter 954: Materia Medica Archaeology
One of the three judges who came in was Song Che's old acquaintance.
Gu Huanian, a medical school student in the Academy of Engineering.
As soon as he came in, Gu Huanian's eyes also locked in Song Che's eyes first, with a kind smile on his face, and nodded slightly tacitly.
Then, Song Che looked at the two judges beside Gu Huanian, and his eyes immediately froze.
He also knew one of these two people and had seen them in newspapers and academic classics a long time ago.
Wei Xiping, consultant expert of the Central Health Commission, director of the Burn Research Institute of the First Affiliated Hospital of the General Hospital of the People's Liberation Army, honorary director of the Burn Plastic Surgery Department, first-level professor, and doctoral (post-doctoral) supervisor!
In addition, Wei Xiping also has a series of honorary titles, such as the first "Huaxia Physician Award", the Major Professional and Technical Contribution Award of the Fourth Headquarters of the People's Liberation Army, the "Bole Award of Excellent Scientific and Technological Talent Construction" of the General Logistics Department, the first batch of national key clinical specialties (military construction projects), and the leaders of the "2110 Project" key construction discipline (field surgery) disciplines, have been cordially received by many national leaders...
It can be said that this is a medical supreme existence that combines strength and honor!
Perhaps it was the background and experience of the army that Wei Xiping was filled with a strong and strong pressure.
As soon as he entered the door, his eyes glanced over, which made the hearts of these thorns tremble to varying degrees. Even Gu Zhishu, who had been sloppy, subconsciously changed his sitting posture, sat upright, and did not dare to act rashly.
Seeing this, Qian Zhifei felt a little proud and thought that he could finally cure your boss. He said at the moment with a diligent and politeness: "Everyone, I will give you a grand introduction, Professor Wei Xiping, from the General Hospital of the People's Liberation Army... and this, Professor Gu Huanian, Professor Gu, and the Medical College of the Academy of Engineering..."
Compared with the strong Wei Xiping, the elegant and gentle Gu Huanian is undoubtedly approachable.
This also conforms to the characteristics of many programs nowadays when choosing judges: the combination of hardness and softness can make the program both interesting and relaxed.
After introducing the two, everyone's eyes turned to the remaining old man.
Compared with Wei Xiping in military uniform and Gu Huanian in casual clothes, the old man is wearing traditional Zhongshan suit and black-framed glasses, which is very scholarly.
Song Che doesn't know him.
And based on his feelings, he vaguely felt that this person's temperament and image were not like a doctor...
"This is Professor Ge Dongxu, professor of the School of Medicine of Yenching University, doctoral supervisor, director of the Center for Medical History Research, editor-in-chief and honorary chairman of the Chinese Journal of Medical History." Qian Zhifei introduced.
Upon hearing this, Song Che's heart suddenly became clear.
Mu Chunfeng and Wu Yuanqi also looked at Ge Dongxu seriously.
Only Xiaoman, Longyuanshan and Gu Zhishu were still cute and had no idea of the value of this identity.
At first glance, Ge Dongxu's titles combined together were not as good as Wei Xiping and Gu Huanian.
This is indeed the case when measured by a secular perspective.
But for senior experts, this identity is quite special!
This identity, in the circle, is usually called a medical historian.
As the name suggests, a title that combines archaeology and medicine.
Perhaps many people will wonder, isn’t archaeology just about examining ancient cultural relics? What does ancient medicine do?
But don’t forget that ancient medicine, like ancient cultural relics, contains the cultural precipitation of history and the crystallization of wisdom of old friends.
Even in the branch disciplines of archaeology, there are also listed disease archaeology. Any archaeology related to medicine unearthed from archaeological sites can be collectively called drug archaeology.
It is worth mentioning that traditional Chinese pharmacology was called [Material Herbal Medicine] in ancient times, meaning "grass-based", so drug archaeology can also be called "Material Herbal Archaeology".
In short, it is said that the decline of modern Chinese medicine is partly due to the loss of many orthodox Chinese medicine academic gaps, which has led to the learning of today's Chinese medicine practitioners.
Medical historians are precisely archaeologists who rediscovered these medical cultures buried under the historical loess!
Their mission is to restore the history and culture of ancient drug applications, explore the relationship between ancestors and drugs, restore and rebuild the history of human use of drugs.
This school was first born in the West. The pioneer of China was the famous medical historian Wang Jimin. During the Republic of China, he realized that traditional Chinese medicine might be completely replaced by Western medicine. In order to preserve the spark of traditional medical culture, he began to prepare for the Medical History Museum in 1936. It was officially established two years later, setting the first precedent for the collection of medical cultural relics and documents!
At that time, someone asked Mr. Wang Jimin how to preserve this work. Wang Jimin said: "Even though Western medicine is currently proven to be faster and more effective than traditional Chinese medicine, this cannot prove that traditional Chinese medicine is a historical relics that will be abandoned. This is a family heirloom accumulated by ancestors for thousands of years and cannot be discarded! My ability is limited and I cannot revive the banner of traditional Chinese medicine. I can only preserve and pass on it and leave it to future generations for future generations to judge! If future generations can use the traditional Chinese medicine I preserve to save a few more people, then my efforts today will be worth it!"
...It is truly an unparalleled national scholar!
"Uncle Ge."
At this time, Lecheng actually stood up and bowed to Ge Dongxu politely to greet him.
Song Che was stunned. Unexpectedly, this rebellious and rude second-generation ancestor had such a respectful side.
But to be fair, even if you don’t know him, Song Che, Wu Yuanqi and others have a natural favor and respect for medical historians.
This profession is similar to an archaeologist. It is often nameless and has little profit to make. It also shoulders the mission of inheriting the spark of medical culture. Typically, it is less money and more things to stay away from home.
Only doctors with noble character and pure love for medicine can persist for decades.
Ge Dongxu also smiled at Lecheng, and raised his hand and patted Lecheng on the shoulder, saying, "Is your father's health okay?"
"It's okay, just take a rest for a while." Lecheng replied.
"That's good... Alas, you have to be strong, don't worry your father anymore. It's time for a person of such an old age to enjoy his old age." Ge Dongxu taught.
Not only did Lecheng not resist, he nodded in agreement.
"Professor Ge, I have vaguely heard of your deeds..." Wu Yuanqi pondered and recalled, saying: "I have read the article you published in the "Traditional Medicine Yearbook", which is about the medical relics found in archaeology such as the Liangzhu site and the Hemudu site. After reading it, I have learned a lot and benefited a lot."
Ge Dongxu nodded and smiled, "Yes, it happened more than ten years ago, and there are still people who remember it."
"Uncle Ge's work is more than that. Han tombs in the city, the mighty Wuhan tombs, the Mawangdui tombs in Changsha... Whenever the archaeological sites involving medical relics are involved, Uncle Ge is basically involved." Lecheng is like a little fan, telling the extraordinary deeds of Ge Dongxu.
Needless to say, you will know that these historical and cultural sites contain more or less medical relics. Through these medical relics, the content of these ancient civilizations can not only be supplemented, but also deduced how the ancients in this civilization cured diseases.
These are all medical treasures that are hard to buy!
"After saying this, I also remembered that I had read Professor Ge's article "Research on Archaeology of Traditional Chinese Medicine and Unearthed Cultural Relics". I was disrespectful and disrespectful." Mu Chunfeng also quickly followed up and flattered.
It seems that I want to establish a good relationship with this examiner in advance.
As for whether he had read Ge Dongxu's works, he didn't know.
After all, "Research on the Emergency Unearth of Traditional Chinese Medicine Archaeology" is a well-known classic ancient medicine reading material in the industry.
"You are so proud of me." Ge Dongxu waved his hand and smiled bitterly: "I am no match for you. You are all the best in Xinglin Chinese medicine today. But when I was young, I was destined to be a good doctor. I could only study the ancient medical culture and barely made some achievements. It can be considered as adding some bricks and tiles to the country's traditional Chinese medicine academic culture, which is not worth mentioning."
After a pause, he encouraged humbly: "The purpose of studying medicine is very simple, to cure diseases and save people. If you are selected for this program, it proves that your strength in this area is definitely passed. My responsibility is to deliver ammunition to the doctors on the front line. You can regard me as a logistics service provider for the medical profession. The same is true in the subsequent program interactions. There is no need to do the same thing as the superior and inferior."
Looking at his words and observing his actions all reveal a humble demeanor.
Thinking of his special profession, Song Che couldn't help but feel sincere admiration.
When all the spotlight is focused on the soldiers on the medical front, few people have paid attention to those unknown reserve forces.
It is precisely with the persistence and dedication of these reserve forces that the traditional Chinese medicine can continue to this day. This profession is indeed worthy of the respect of all doctors...
However, after regaining rationality, Song Che turned to the reason why the column team invited Ge Dongxu to come to the review.
To be honest, this is a program to judge medical strength.
The medical attainments of medical historians are actually a bit uneven.
There are not no excellent doctors in this professional group, but the probability is very small.
After all, having strength means having a future and a future of money. How many people are willing to work hard on logistics?
As Ge Dongxu himself said, perhaps because he was not strong enough to become a famous doctor, and because of his interest, he changed his career to this non-sex profession.
Of course, if you want to do a good job in medical history and archaeology, you must have strong Chinese medicine skills. Even if you are not outstanding, you cannot be much different.
The column team invited him to come and take charge, probably because they wanted to highlight the cultural heritage of Xinglin Traditional Chinese Medicine...
While thinking, Ge Dongxu looked at Song Che and smiled and said, "Song Che?"
"Senior Ge has any advice, just say." Song Che also said respectfully.
"I can't afford to teach you. You know, I was taught by your grandfather Song Yaozu." Ge Dongxu laughed loudly.
Song Che was slightly surprised and subconsciously looked at Gu Huanian.
Gu Huanian smiled and said, "Professor Ge just started studying medical archaeology when he was young, and many questions were asked by you."
"That's right, strictly speaking, your grandfather is half of my teacher." Ge Dongxu said half-jokingly: "You are your grandfather's grandson and apprentice. If you can barely say, we are half of your senior brothers."
After hearing Ge Dongxu approached so enthusiastically, Wu Yuanqi, Mu Chunfeng and others felt a little sour.
They tried their best to flatter, but the guy stood there without saying a word, and was actively involved in the relationship by the judge, which was too annoying.
I can only say that this guy has a very strong ability to reincarnate.
But Song Che's thoughts came to life and a bold guess emerged in his mind.
Just then, Ge Dongxu glanced at Song Che's left hand intentionally or unintentionally, and the golden chrysanthemum ring sighed and murmured: "As soon as the chrysanthemum blooms, the fragrance will clear away the disease. Oh, it's really a reflection of people when you see things."
Ge Dongxu had medical intersections with his grandfather and recognized this inherited holy object from the Medical Saint Sect. I think he should know the legend of the Medical Saint Sect!
