Chapter 197 - A Sensation Across the City! (1/2)
Chapter 197 A Sensation Across the City!
Because everyone was very familiar with Li Wenbo, who simply directed against Chinese Medicine. Many people followed him on Weibo and almost every blog that he posted on Weibo was in opposition to Chinese Medicine. He had said for countless times that pulse feeling in Chinese Medicine was a pseudoscience and that it was impossible to feel the pulse of pregnancy and so on.
All sorts of questions were coming from him.
Because he was extremely knavish, tricky, fickle and he liked malicious talk, all the doctors of Chinese Medicine across the country were not willing to bother with him.
But no one thought of that.
Li Wenbo even dared to issue such a challenge publicly on Weibo.
Could it be because he was ignored by the Chinese Medicine industry and he couldn't make waves, he wanted to hype himself up?
It soon attracted the attention of all the media.
A media studio immediately invited a fluencer called Du Wenshu to the TV station for an interview.
This man was a well-known critic in the country. He often made some extraordinary remarks that caused all kinds of controversy.
Without any doubt.
Having been interviewed by a reporter, Du Wenshu soon expressed his views on TV.
”As far as I am concerned, feeling the pulse of pregnancy in Chinese Medicine is just a legend. Even if someone checked that way before, no one is checking in that way now. This method, whether it works or not, has been completely eliminated.”
”Since it has already been eliminated, why do people still come to check whether doctors can feel the pulse of pregnancy?”
”Some people say that there are data showing that the accuracy can reach 80% by pulse diagnosis and positive urine HCG test.”
”I think there is no basis for this statement. It is totally nonsense. If it is a rigorous process, they certainly can't feel it. So theoretically, I can say that it's totally unreliable for doctors of Chinese Medicine to feel the pulse of pregnancy.”
In this interview, everyone's attention was focused on Du Wenshu. Even the questions asked by the host did not attract anyone's attention.
Without any doubt.
It could be seen from the interview that Du Wenshu obviously didn't believe in doctors of Chinese Medicine either.
Seeing so many people directing against doctors of Chinese Medicine.
The people in the Chinese Medicine industry couldn't sit still.
Xiang Shenghua, a member of Qilu Chinese Medicine Society, was also interviewed by the media immediately. He said. ”When a woman has a slippery pulse with the symptom of menopause and vomiting, it indicates that she is pregnant. Because when a woman is pregnant, she needs to supply to the foetus. A slippery pulse indicates adequate blood and Qi.”
As a result.
Just as the interview to Xiang Shenghua ended, Du Wenshu came out again and posted a series of three blogs.
”The so-called slippery pulse in Chinese Medicine is not qualitative or quantitative. The view that a slippery pulse is like a pearl rolling on a plate is purely subjective.”
”The qualitative and quantitative method is a way of studying questions. Many things can be measured qualitatively and quantitatively. But feeling the pulse in Chinese Medicine can't be qualitative or quantitative. It's completely a metaphor and a subjective feeling.”
”This causes the result that different doctors of Chinese Medicine have different views when they feel the pulse. Types of pulse differ from each other. Which one do you believe?” ”So in my opinion, the so-called doctors of Chinese Medicine can feel the pulse of pregnancy is completely a lie. It's not tenable at all!”
At the same time, with the appearance of the first supporter.
Li Wenbo, the initiator of the challenge, was even more arrogant. He not only ridiculed doctors of Chinese Medicine for many times on Weibo but also even took advantage of the issue, saying that the media with strength could organize an audition of ”Good Doctors of Chinese Medicine in China” in order to mercilessly ridicule doctors of Chinese Medicine.
This made doctors of Chinese Medicine angrier.
Many doctors of Chinese Medicine stood out and angrily dissed Li Wenbo and Du Wenshu.
This battle had not yet begun but public opinion was in full swing.
The matter of ”pulse diagnosis for pregnancy” continued to seethe and spread rapidly on Weibo. It was even judged by the medical We-media as one of the ”big stories in medical profession”.
Supporters on both sides also had their own views on the matter.
On Weibo, comments had even exploded.
”I just want to know why doctors of western medicine despise doctors of Chinese Medicine so much and I'm waiting for the result!”
”The diagnosis of Chinese Medicine— look, listen, question and feel the pulse are all indispensable. Is there someone who only makes an appointment for pulse diagnosis?” ”Can doctors of Western Medicine make a diagnosis on the basis of a piece of test paper?”
”Doctors of Chinese Medicine have existed for thousands of years. They have the abilities.”
”Those who say that Chinese Medicine is not in line with science is like saying that Zhouyi and Chuci are not in line with English grammar. The most populous group in the world have been multiplying until now under the protection of doctors of Chinese Medicine. What makes me angriest is that someone says his ancestors have lived wrong through others' standard!”
”Chinese Medicine is extensive and profound. Don't look down upon doctors of Chinese Medicine so much!”
”There are only two consequences of this matter.” ”One, no excuses, no accepting.” ”Two. If someone accepts, he will definitely lose, which will have huge impact on doctors of Chinese Medicine. So the final result must be that no doctors of Chinese Medicine dare to accept the challenge. Everyone, just forget about it.”
...
The heat of the challenge of the pulse of pregnancy was spreading at an amazing speed.
Not only the BBS but also the whole Chinese Medicine industry was seething.
Not only those famous doctors of Chinese Medicine but also the hospitals and universities across the country were talking about it.
Here.
The students of the University of Jiangjing Chinese Medicine were also seething with anger while hearing the news.
All the students were furious.
”Is this Li Wenbo an idiot?” ”Chinese Medicine has been the treasure of our Chinese heritage since 5,000 years ago. Even our country admits it. Why should he question it?”
”And that Du Wenshu is just too shameless. He even said that our Chinese Medicine relied on guessing, we were not scientific, and that doctors of Chinese Medicine were not reliable. He even said that our doctors of Chinese Medicine were talking nonsense. He is just an idiot.”
”Without doctors of Chinese Medicine, his ancestors would not be able to survive, but he even dared to say these words.”
Not only the University of Jiangjing Chinese Medicine, but also the students of all the universities of Chinese Medicine in China were furious.
Chinese Medicine was a kind of faith for these students. It was because they liked Chinese Medicine and loved Chinese Medicine, they just went to study in the TCM colleges.
