Chapter 1621: Seven Days Return
The Book of Changes says: "... repeating its path, returning every seven days; this is the way of Heaven..." It means that the Yang Energy cycles and changes, increasing and decreasing in units of seven days, and the same is true for the circulation of Yang Energy in the human body.

Based on similar Chinese cultural knowledge, traditional Chinese medicine has always used this as the theoretical basis for enhancing, repairing, and integrating Yang Qi. Over the years, as the basic theoretical composition of Chinese medicine, it has been passed down to later generations, and few medical experts have questioned it.

You can always find a Chinese medicine doctor practicing medicine in every street corner of Lijin City. At least 7% of them are veteran doctors. When they prescribe medicine for patients for the first time, they usually prescribe prescriptions and always ask them to try it first.

The number 7 here is actually very important, and its theoretical basis is "... repeat the same way, and the results will come after seven days, which is the will of heaven..." Even if a doctor is mediocre, as long as he strictly adheres to the principle of "supporting yang, filling deficiency and removing evil", he generally will not make any big mistakes, and the symptoms of most patients will be alleviated no matter what disease they have.

Some more skilled doctors are able to adjust the initial dose to 5 sets according to the specific conditions of each patient. If they have a more precise grasp of the patient's condition, they may adjust it to 3 sets. If the patient's condition is more special, the dose will be adjusted to 11 sets. Generally speaking, few doctors will adjust the dose of the initial prescription to 9 sets.

7+2, 7 days of recovery, why do you come up with 2 more doses for regulating properties? !

The 11th set is different, 7+3+1, forming a logical closed loop of decreasing Yang Qi regulation, and then exploring the patient's reaction to the first medication, especially the changes in Yang Qi, which is reasonable and effective.

Some worried patients have discovered that any decent Chinese medicine doctors with a bit of reputation almost never prescribe 4, 6, 8 doses of medicine... or similar even-numbered doses. Apart from other prescribing principles, "recovery in seven days" has always been the most core theoretical basis.

In addition, the Book of Changes emphasizes the use of the "Six Lines" as hands and feet to infer the hidden mysteries of the universe. The sixth line is the end, and the next one is naturally 7. 7 represents the beginning of a new cycle, and it contains the meaning of "new one". This "new one" is completely different from the first line, and has an extra layer of meaning. Therefore, when an acupuncture master gives a person acupuncture, he will often change to a completely different acupuncture method when he gets to the sixth needle. The theoretical basis of this is also on this "6".

7. It is an important unit of measurement in traditional Chinese medicine, and its medical significance is quite profound.

Bian Mu has always held a relatively open attitude in this regard: he is neither blindly superstitious nor easily unconventional or heretical.

Bian Mu has a more scientific, avant-garde and complex interpretation of this number 7. The school of “mathematical medicine” is not called that for nothing.

In Bian Mu's opinion, Fang Qishu has a high IQ, rich experience, and academic qualifications far superior to his peers. Anyway, there are not many outsiders in the private room, so Bian Mu wants to have a more in-depth chat with him, so as to completely correct Fang Qishu's wrong life orientation, which can be regarded as giving him a hand midway, doing good deeds and accumulating virtue.

however……

Fang Qishu's knowledge of Chinese classics was far from what Bian Mu had expected. The originally well-prepared discussion-style medical guidance unexpectedly turned into a one-sided lecture by Bian Mu. In addition to being disappointed, Bian Mu had no interest in continuing the conversation in depth on some topics. "Mr. Fang! In the universe, when a black hole tears a star that is so huge that you and I cannot imagine into pieces, is there any logic to talk about?! No! At that moment, all that matters is the size of the energy, the strength of the magnetic field, and whether the trajectory is right or wrong... head-on confrontation, people live in the world to seek health and happiness... The principle is similar to this. You have to knead the dough at home for a while. Every morning at 7 o'clock, when the sun has not yet risen completely, you should take the trouble to learn how to knead dough from your family, and knead the dough carefully into the kind that can be used to make dumplings. If it is too hard, you can't make dumplings; if it is too soft, the filling will collapse easily, and it will become soup once it is put into the pot. By the way, you should not be very good at cooking, right?" At the end, Bian Xi asked with a smile.

Hearing this, Fang Qishu felt a little embarrassed. He shook his head slightly, and suddenly acted like a child who had done something wrong.

"Okay! He still has some dignity in his bones. At least he knows how to be ashamed. Okay! He can still be saved!" With a cold sneer, Bian Mu thought to himself.

"I have learned to cook since I was in the second year of junior high school, and I have some deep experience in kneading dough. By the way, use dumpling flour. In the first stage, after the dough is kneaded, knead it in stages, at least 300 times, 300 times seriously. After a while, you should get the experience. Now no matter what I say, it will be useless. Practice makes perfect. Take it slow! Tomorrow is the first day, with 7 as the cycle, and on the 50th day, please contact me again. By then, we can take your pulse and we will basically know whether it works." Bian Mu deliberately gave a few more instructions.

"Thank you, thank you! I will definitely follow the doctor's advice!" After saying that, Fang Qishu raised his glass with both hands and saluted solemnly.

Bian Mu politely returned the greeting while holding the fruit tea, smiled, and said nothing more.

Seeing that the two of them had almost finished their meal, Fang Qishu brought up another matter.

"Doctor Bian! I heard that you are not only an expert in medical skills, but also an expert in drug preparation. Since you have such a gold mine at home, why don't you think about cashing it in as soon as possible?"

Hearing this, Bian Mu couldn't help but be stunned.

"Oh...what do you mean?!"

"I have a distant relative who originally contracted a Chinese medicine preparation factory. In the early years, it was actually a large collective, but later it was restructured! He sold the houses of two generations of his family, and scraped together the money. He borrowed no less than 200 million from me. Fortunately, over the past few decades, although the company was not very large, he managed it in an orderly manner. Alas! With the changes in current affairs, everything is unpredictable. New technology updates and market shifts came too quickly. Later, he was a little behind. In desperation, he went through a man named Guan Yuelin. We hooked up with Yiyoukang and signed a bunch of agreements to become Luo Jiaming's OEM company. In the past six or seven years, alas! The performance has been getting worse and worse. Later, Luo Jiaming had a divorce and misjudged the situation. The business of Yiyoukang was really going from bad to worse. Naturally, the company that my relative had worked hard to run also went downhill. I'm not afraid of you laughing at me. In the past year or so, the factory can only pay basic wages. If it continues like this, it will go bankrupt completely. Do you think... can you give them a hand?" Fang Qishu suddenly said this.

Hearing this, Bian Mu's mind started to turn. What was going on? Every now and then, a group of people would appear and think about cooperating with him to make some money together.
