In fact, Mr. Liang Qichao knows the beauty of Chinese medicine, and once wrote in his letter, "From now on, I dare not underestimate Chinese medicine", but it was a big debate at that time, and I had to say something against my will in order to show my support for science.
But at that time, another literary master who was more famous and had a higher status than Liang Qichao, but from time to time, he used paper and pen to blacken a handful of Chinese medicine in his articles. "Chinese medicine is just a liar, intentionally or unintentionally", which is the shoulder of the anti-Chinese medicine camp.
On the other hand, he is the "soul of china" of the Chinese nation, "the hardest bone, neither supercilious nor supercilious", "he is not only a great writer, but also a great thinker and revolutionary" and "a writer who occupied the largest territory on the East Asian cultural map in the 20th century". He is Mr. Lu Xun whom we have been familiar with since primary school.
Mr. Lu Xun has a profound literary foundation and extensive reading. He must have dabbled in Chinese medicine works such as Treatise on Febrile Diseases and Compendium of Materia Medica, and he must have read many records about Chinese medicine treatment in historical materials. Zhou Haiying also recalled that when he was a child, Mr. Lu Xun treated his asthma with Chinese medicine. So what makes Lu Xun's attitude towards Chinese medicine different?
In fact, it mainly stems from the fact that Mr. Lu Xun's father died of illness in his prime.
Fame was taken away, family wealth was swept away, and I was seriously ill.
Lu Xun's father, named Zhou Boyi, was once a scholar, but he tried again and again. Mr. Lu Xun's grandfather tried to bribe the imperial examination, but the incident escaped. Zhou Boyi was removed from his position as a scholar and put into prison to take the blame. He was not released until his grandfather turned himself in. After that, my father sold his family property to redeem his grandfather, which led to the decline of family wealth.
Without fame and money, Zhou Boyi became moody, contracted alcoholism and other bad habits, suffered from malnutrition, and finally became seriously ill, swollen and coughed up blood!
See a doctor and ask for medicine. If all kinds of medicines fail, recommend another famous doctor.
If you are sick and very serious, you should try to cure it. Shaoxing can't see western medicine, and there is not enough money for consultation at home, so we have to find local Chinese medicine for treatment. Lu Xun described this in detail in "Father's Disease" (included in "Flowers in the Morning").
According to Mr. Lu Xun, many golden flowers have been diagnosed in the past two years, and all kinds of strange drugs have been tried, but the condition is getting worse every day. Helpless, this Chinese doctor recommended a colleague with higher skills and explained that it doesn't matter.
I tasted hundreds of medicines, but my family ran out of money and died unfortunately.
Since the illness is no big deal, it seems that it is not bad news. I just need to pay more money for consultation and find some medicine. This Mr. Chen Lianhe's medication is very strange, especially the drug introduction, which is even stranger than the last Chinese medicine practitioner. Original cricket pair, ten flat trees, worn-out drum skin, etc. Mr. Lu Xun is in charge, but it still doesn't work. Chen Lianhe began to recommend a kind of Dan, which was rejected by his father who had known him for a long time. Later, I began to suggest asking ghosts and gods. Doctors can cure diseases, but they can't save lives. Maybe it was predestined in the last life.
All the famous doctors said so, and hopes were dashed. Zhou Boyi finally failed to get better and died at the age of 36!
After his father died after receiving Chinese medicine treatment, Mr. Lu Xun lost his feelings for Chinese medicine. During his study in Japan, Mr. Lu studied western medicine, which deepened his suspicion and denial of Chinese medicine, so that he later criticized Chinese medicine in many articles. In fact, Chen Lianhe was the famous doctor He at that time. There is a saying that Mr. Lu Xun's father suffered from a serious liver disease, which is difficult to treat. During the treatment, he also had bad habits such as drinking. It rarely lasts more than two years.
Regardless of whether Western medicine can cure Zhou Boyi's disease, does Mr. Lu Xun really completely deny Chinese medicine? Of course not! This is just a simple conclusion after reading Mr. Lu Xun's article.
Zhou Haiying clarified in "Lu Xun and My Seventy Years", "It seems that there is no such thing as writing that Lu Xun opposes Chinese medicine and does not believe in Chinese medicine." My father treated himself and his mother with Chinese medicine and was very satisfied with the effect.
In fact, Mr. Lu Xun hates those quacks who seek money under the banner of Chinese medicine and delay their illness only because of personal experience. Mr. Lu wrote in "From the Grave to the Teeth", "Mostly because they delayed my father's illness, but I'm afraid they also took some personal grudges for hurting his flesh."
Mr. Lu Xun commented that Compendium of Materia Medica "contains rich treasures" in the Southern accent to the North. Experience ",which shows that the essence of Chinese medicine is fully recognized!
