Rebirth 1977 Great Era

Chapter 200 Scientific Proof of Meridians and Acupoints (3K)

Fangyan was a little amused. This Russian guy said he would give away a car, and his tone sounded as if he was going to the vegetable market to buy two kilograms of radishes.

Of course they have preferential treatment, but Fangyan doesn't think that this car can be bought casually.

So he shook his head and said:

"It's too expensive and too high-profile. I appreciate your kindness, but there's no need to give me a car."

After hearing Fangyan's words, Anton thought carefully for a moment and said:
"It's normal for an apprentice to give his master a wedding gift."

"Giving away a car is like giving away a horse in ancient Chinese stories. Isn't it a common etiquette?"

Fangyan complained in his heart that this etiquette was not common and was the behavior of the rich.

Anton continued:

"Besides, I bought it with my own money. It's not something of ill origin. You have no reason to reject me, right?"

"As for your concerns about it being too expensive, or about using my father's money, there is no need to think like that, because my father will buy it at a very reasonable price, and when I learn the skills and make money, I will return it to him."

Fangyan found that when Anton talked about this kind of thing, he was especially like his father Bachukayev.

I am so persistent that if you don't agree to me, I will find a way to make you agree to me.

Fang Yan thought for a moment and said to him:
"No, at least not this year. If you want to give it to me again later, I'll keep it."

It’s not that his moral level has suddenly improved and he doesn’t want anything given to him for free.

The main reason is that it is 1977 now, and many policies are still old. Even if you get the oil yourself, what should you do? Where can you maintain it? Where can you repair it?
After hearing Fangyan's words, Anton thought for a moment and then said:

"Okay! Then next year, I'll make a note of it!"

He didn't think as much as Fangyan. He just thought that it was already September and it wouldn't be long until next year. It would be nothing more than changing the wedding gift into a New Year gift.

This way, Master can still think of him every time he drives.

……

Then the car drove to the gate of the courtyard.

This foreign brand car really attracted a lot of people's attention.

The main reason is that the design is too cool, which is rare even among the Concorde across the street.

As soon as the car stopped, many people came to watch the fun.

Seeing a young Mao girl driving the car, everyone suddenly felt that it made sense. Anyone who could drive such a foreign car in Beijing was most likely a foreigner.

Then Fangyan and Anton got off the car, and they found that there was actually a local person there.

Director Feng was also watching at the moment, and when he saw that it was Fang Yan, he finally understood what was going on.

This should be a foreign-related job.

So she hurriedly shouted to the people around her:

"Stop gathering here!"

"Just do whatever you need to do!"

Director Feng's words were still very effective here. Although the onlookers were reluctant, they still left here obediently one by one.

"Director Feng, thank you very much." Fang Yan nodded gratefully to Director Feng.

Director Feng immediately smiled and shook his head.

Then he came up and asked curiously to Fangyan:
"Comrade Fangyan, who are these two?"

"The foreign affairs department arranged for me to take him in as an apprentice." Fang Yan replied.

Director Feng suddenly understood and nodded repeatedly:

"Oh...I see! I see!"

I always knew that Fangyan was a person working in foreign-related fields, but I had never seen a foreigner. Today I finally saw one.

She couldn't help but sigh in her heart. It seemed that nowadays, people are learning technology from foreigners everywhere, but it is different when it comes to Fangyan. Foreigners can actually learn our domestic medical skills.

No wonder they can live in such a big courtyard house, it is no worse than the Concord Villa District.

After Fangyan opened the door and led Anton and Sophia into the courtyard.

Director Feng then remembered that he had something to tell Fangyan.

So she hurriedly shouted at the door:
"Comrade dialect, comrade dialect!"

Fangyan hadn't walked far when he heard the voice and immediately turned back, opened the door and asked:
"Director Feng, is there anything wrong?"

Director Feng nodded repeatedly and said:
"Yes, yes, yes."

"Just now, the police station came and asked me to ask you when you are free so that they can come and put up an iron fence in your sewer to prevent people from getting through it."

When Fang Yan heard this, he immediately said:

"I have been here all afternoon. Please tell them."

Director Feng nodded:

"That's fine! I'll go and notify them to come over right away."

Fang Yan said to Director Feng:
"Okay, just call me when you get here."

Then Fangyan took Anton and Sophia to walk around the courtyard. After Sophia came to the main courtyard, she said to Fangyan with emotion:
"Master, this place doesn't look very big from the outside, but I didn't expect it to be so big inside!"

Anton came to the side of the cypress, looked up at the treetops and said:
"Yes, they can actually plant two trees. Chinese architecture is really unexpected."

Fang Yan looked at their curious faces and asked them:

"Where do you live now?"

Anton responded:
"The Western-style building looks like... like a Moscow restaurant."

There are many Western-style buildings in Beijing, such as in the area of ​​East and West Jiaomin Lane, Chongwenmennei Street, and near Tongren Hospital.

There are also some in the west of the railway station. Another recent one is the Xiehe Villa District on the Ministry of Foreign Affairs Street, which is full of Western-style buildings.

Some of these Western-style buildings are related to foreigners, and some were built in imitation of them.

Fang Yan thought about it, nodded and said:
“That should be quite luxurious.”

Anton said:

"After watching it for a long time, I don't feel that way anymore. I still think Chinese things have more depth."

Fang Yan heard what he said and asked with a smile:

"It sounds like you like China more?"

Anton nodded and admitted without disguising:
"Yes, I do like China more. I think I will stay here all my life, otherwise I wouldn't have studied Chinese medicine."

"Wasn't it your father's decision to learn Chinese medicine?" Fang Yan found that he knew very little about Anton, so he took this opportunity to ask him.

Anton said:

"He knows that I like it, so he begged you to accept me as your apprentice."

Then he continued:
"I personally believe that traditional Chinese medicine is a high-level understanding of the human body."

"Just like acupuncture points and meridians, there is no way to prove them in Western medicine, but they really exist in traditional Chinese medicine."

"I think Western medicine just hasn't done enough research. Maybe they will find this out someday."

What the Russian said sounds a bit radical in this era.

I even think that he has such a mysterious worship of traditional Chinese medicine because he doesn't understand it.

However, when Fangyan heard this, he remembered that when he had just graduated in his previous life, he had read some successful cases about the effectiveness of acupuncture point treatment and meridian visualization published in foreign academic journals.

On October 2021, 10, the article "Neuroanatomical basis of electroacupuncture-driven vagus-adrenal axis" was published in Nature.

It was the team of Professor Ma Fuqiu from Harvard University, Professor Wang Yanqing from Fudan University, and the team of Professor Jing Xianghong from the Institute of Acupuncture of the China Academy of Chinese Medical Sciences who jointly demonstrated the successful case of using electroacupuncture to stimulate the Zusanli acupoint of animals to treat sepsis.

This proves the actual efficacy and evidence of traditional Chinese medicine acupuncture.

In the same year, a study published in the journal Evidence-Based Complementary and Alternative Medicine that used fluorescence to visualize the pericardium meridian also confirmed a similar theory.

In the experiment, researchers clearly observed for the first time the continuous fluorescent lines of the human meridian acupoints.

They used the fluorescence method to inject fluorescent reagent into the arms of fifteen subjects, eleven men and four women. They then used a mercury lamp to illuminate and observe the direction of the fluorescence on the subjects' arms. They found that a pathway appeared in the subjects' arms that was different from the blood vessels, but completely consistent with the pericardium meridian in traditional Chinese medicine.

This is using the so-called scientific methods of Western medicine to verify the theories of traditional Chinese medicine.

Although it still sounds a bit depressing, it is indeed proven.

It is exactly as Anton said, it is because our understanding is not deep enough and we have not yet researched to this level. It is not that the theory of traditional Chinese medicine is made up.

However, Fangyan knew that now was not the time to argue about traditional Chinese medicine and Western medicine.

When capital from major pharmaceutical companies starts entering the market in a few years, that will be the time to seize the right to speak.

By that time he should have graduated from college and had basically established a network of connections.

Then it's time for him to step up.

There's no point arguing about this now.

At this time, Sophia walked under the grape trellis and sat on a stone bench and revealed:
"Master, Anton said that because someone knew we were studying Chinese medicine and said it was not as good as Western medicine, and asked us to prove the scientific nature of Chinese medicine."

Anton's face flushed and he said excitedly:

"That group of people is so annoying! If there weren't so many of them, I really want to beat them up!"

Fangyan suddenly realized that this was the kind of argument between Chinese and Western medicine that was often seen in forums in later generations.

He said to Anton who was a little excited:

"You just need to learn Chinese medicine well now, and don't think about proving the scientific nature of Chinese medicine in front of Western medicine."

"Both types of medicine are used to treat illnesses and save lives, but their theoretical foundations are different. The most important thing is that they must be able to save lives."

"As for what others say, they have their own mouths, so let them say what they want to say. If there are many people, don't argue, or you will suffer losses."

After listening to this, Anton nodded thoughtfully:
"Yes, Master is right."

……

"Hey, there are puppies here?" At this time, Sophia discovered the puppies roaming in the yard.

They were taking a nap under the stone table beneath the grape trellis in the yard.

The two furry balls look very cute.

After hearing Sophia's voice, he slowly opened his eyes and warned this unfamiliar human:
"Uh... Woof! Woof!"

One was black and the other was red. The two dogs, both with bigger butts, jumped up and down and threatened Sophia.

After finally realizing that it was useless, they saw Fangyan standing nearby, and they immediately ran over, circled around Fangyan, making a humming sound from their mouths, as if they were complaining.

Fangyan didn't expect that after he fed them some leftovers from the cafeteria at noon today, these two little things actually recognized him as their master.

"Boom boom boom!"

Just then, there was a knock on the door.

As soon as I heard the dialect, I knew that the police had come to install railings in the sewer.

"I'll go open the door!" Anton was very sharp and ran out without waiting for Fangyan to react.

Fang Yan looked at the tall stature of this boy and thought, why not teach him some Kung Fu?
This way he won't suffer any loss when he loses the debate.

After all, there are more than one way to prove the scientific nature of meridians and acupoints, including traditional Chinese medicine.

You can also use Xingyiquan to hit the acupoints.
