Hearing this from Luo Chao, Jiang Lianqing quickly asked, "Master Luo Chao, what is the other book you are talking about?!"
"Hehe." Luo Chao chuckled, "Dean Jiang, don't worry, I will tell you."
Then, Luo Chao glanced around. At this mont, everyone around had already heard Luo Chao's earlier conversation with Jiang Lianqing. They all looked at Luo Chao with curious eyes, hoping he would continue talking.
So, Luo Chao didn't keep the suspense any longer and continued, "Actually, there is another book, which is the Shennong's Herbal Classic! This book is the first systematic summary of Chinese herbal dicine, most of the pharmacological theories and compatibility rules stipulated in it have played a huge role in the practice of dication for thousands of years. It is also hailed as a classic work of traditional Chinese dicine, and therefore, for a long historical period, it was a textbook for doctors and pharmacists to study traditional Chinese dicine, as well as one of the essential reference books for dical practitioners."
"It's indeed this book!" Jiang Lianqing, who was beside them, showed a look of sudden realization when he heard Luo Chao say the na, "I have read this book. Decades ago, I read it in the old library of Huahai City. At the ti, I thought that the ancestors of our Huaxia were simply amazing! It was precisely because of that experience of reading the book that I switched careers to beco a true traditional Chinese dicine doctor!"
Hearing Jiang Lianqing say this, Luo Chao couldn't help nodding and thought to himself, "Jiang Lianqing is truly worthy of being an eighty-year-old traditional Chinese dicine doctor. The saying 'ginger gets spicier as it ages' definitely isn't said lightly. Among all the people present, apart from myself, perhaps only Jiang Lianqing has actually read the dical book written by the Fla Emperor Shennong!"
After Luo Chao finished speaking, he turned his gaze to Nicholas Mirotic and said, "So, Mr. Nicholas Mirotic, do you still think our traditional Chinese dicine is only theoretical?"
"Hahaha." Nicholas Mirotic laughed, "Alright, I admit that your traditional Chinese dicine is not just theoretical. Those ancient stories and works of yours do seem quite remarkable. However, your ancient impressiveness was your ancient business. As the whole world knows, although your Huaxia was ahead of the world in ancient tis, in the past hundred years, your Huaxia has started to lag far behind our developed Western countries."
"Moreover, due to your Huaxia's long history, there are many cultural discontinuities. What you were talking about earlier regarding traditional Chinese dicine is rely the traditional Chinese dicine from the peak period of your ancient Huaxia. Passed down to your current generation, I'm afraid the level is not even a thousandth of your ancient Huaxia."
"So, in my opinion, despite your confident talks here, there might not be anyone truly capable of inheriting your ancient traditional Chinese dicine techniques! You can only reminisce about your ancient Huaxia's glorious civilization!"
"Therefore, looking at today's world, only our Western dicine can be considered the orthodox dicine, only our Western dicine can stand at the pinnacle of world dical science!"
Nicholas Mirotic spoke with enthusiasm, clearly showing his unwavering belief in his set of Western theories.
For such a situation, Luo Chao could also understand. This Nicholas Mirotic, like the previous Chef Boris, grew up in the West and was influenced by Western dia and Western life culture, so it is understandable that he developed this Western superiority complex stemming from an inferiority complex.
Furthermore, Luo Chao felt that Nicholas Mirotic wasn't entirely wrong.
Although the peak of traditional Chinese dicine is actually much stronger than that of Western dicine, since Western dicine is much more convenient and easier to learn compared to Chinese dicine, throughout history, many have reached the peak of Western dicine, but those who have truly reached the peak of traditional Chinese dicine can probably be counted on one hand!
This can be seen from the proportion of world-renowned doctors in various countries around the world.
Among the more than two hundred countries in the world, only Huaxia has the tradition of Chinese dicine, while all other countries study Western dicine.
As a result, there are at least several hundred world-renowned and competent Western dicine doctors, but there are very few outstanding traditional Chinese dicine doctors.
This creates an illusion that Western dicine is superior to traditional Chinese dicine, because the most top-tier Western dicine doctors are nurous, and as long as you have money, you can hire them to treat illnesses, perform surgeries.
However, since there are only a few top-tier traditional Chinese dicine doctors, even if you have a lot of money, without a certain status in Huaxia, it's impossible to receive treatnt from the top traditional Chinese dicine practitioners.
This gives many people the impression that the sa illness can be cured by Western dicine, but not by traditional Chinese dicine.
In reality, it's because the Western doctor treating the disease is among the top in the Western dicine field, while the traditional Chinese dicine practitioner could very well be just a regular doctor, or even an apprentice!
Because traditional Chinese dicine is very grassroots, many ordinary Huaxia residents believe that after reading so health books related to traditional Chinese dicine, they too can practice it.
In the end, they give improper prescriptions, making the illness not only untreated but even worse.
Moreover, so people with ulterior motives in society claim to be divine doctors who can cure all diseases under the banner of traditional Chinese dicine, selling prescriptions like drinking mung bean soup or eating raw cucumber, deceiving people and making money, ultimately delaying the patient's illness.
Adding to this, so unscrupulous dia who like to create big news add fuel to the fire, stirring trouble and making sensational reports, giving people the false impression that traditional Chinese dicine is all pseudoscience without scientific basis!
This leads to fewer and fewer people willing to learn traditional Chinese dicine, ultimately creating a vicious cycle!
Thinking of this, Luo Chao no longer wanted to argue with Nicholas Mirotic, because he knew that the so-called argunt and discourse could only be conducted with soone on the sa ntal level as oneself.
When facing soone whose ntal state is far below your own, no matter how reasonable or eloquent you are, the other party will be highly arguntative and even play tricks, eventually leading you to their familiar territory and defeating you with their expertise.
It's exactly like the saying about not stooping to the sa level or playing a lute to a cow—it has no use.
Therefore, from Luo Chao's many years of experience, dealing with soone who lives in their own world requires only one approach to thoroughly make them fail and lose face, which is—bring out the horse or mule and let them show their true colors, proving themselves through action.
Since you say I'm just theoretical, let's try it out and see whether your Western dicine is more powerful or our Huaxia traditional Chinese dicine stands supre!
