Chapter 512

Xiao Chen sat there and heard the beauty host calling him. Xiao Chen knew that the other party wanted to call him up. Just read the two speeches written in advance.

However, Xiao Chen has just seen that it is just some flattering words. If you really read them, it will make him feel sick. Moreover, this is not Xiao Chen's idea.

When Xiao Chen stood up, everyone in the auditorium looked at him.

I admire you!

Jealous!

Have envy!

There are also those who look very complicated!

Xiao Chen seemed very confident and empty handed. He went directly to the rostrum in the auditorium. The beautiful woman on the rostrum presided over it. He found Xiao Chen empty handed and seemed a little nervous.

After all, there are so many senior executives, so many people in the field of traditional Chinese medicine, and those journalists here. If Xiao Chen messes up at that time, not only Xiao Chen will lose face.

Standing on the podium, Xiao Chen said directly, "I'm glad to have the opportunity to stand on the stage. I don't think I'm participating in the national medical competition just because I'm an elder. Unexpectedly, I was lucky to win the championship. However, I know that this does not mean anything. In this competition, the elders in the field of traditional Chinese medicine may have much better medical skills than me. "

After Xiao Chen finished, he paused first. The old Chinese doctors below naturally felt that Xiao Chen was right and modest.

Xiao Chen continued: "since the outbreak of unknown plague in Southwest China, I have been paying attention to the situation there recently, so I want to take this opportunity to talk about traditional Chinese medicine and plague."

Naturally, this is a very good starting point. Sure enough, Xiao Chen just said it. Not only Liang Wenli, Vice Minister of the Ministry of health, but also Zhu Jianmin, President of the National Association of traditional Chinese medicine. Hearing what Xiao Chen said, he also had a bright feeling in front of him.

Did the boy know something in advance?

"From the Western Han Dynasty to the late Qing Dynasty, there were at least 321 major plagues in China. Traditional Chinese medicine and various plagues launched a life and death duel again and again, and controlled the spread of the epidemic in a limited area and time. In the history of China, there has never been a tragedy such as the Spanish influenza, the black death of Europe and the plague of the world plague, which resulted in the death of tens of millions of people.

"It can be said that the ancients of China attached great importance to infectious diseases. The prevention of infectious diseases was recorded in the medical book Huangdi Neijing more than 2000 years ago; Since the Han Dynasty, medical books have focused on infectious diseases as key projects; Ge Hong's "behind the elbow" of the Jin dynasty recorded "prisoner sore" (smallpox), "rabies bite" (rabies), etc; Subsequent medical books clearly recorded acute infectious diseases such as malaria, measles, diphtheria, chickenpox, cholera, dysentery and tuberculosis and their syndrome differentiation and treatment. "

"In addition to treating infectious diseases with drugs, ancient Chinese medicine also summed up the experience of isolation and quarantine, disinfection, maintaining good environment and personal hygiene, and preventing diseases before diseases, so as to deal with the spread of epidemic diseases. According to the historical data of the Western Han Dynasty, "people suffering from diseases have an empty house, which is to buy medicine." This means that the government established a public temporary hospital to control the epidemic at that time, indicating that China had taken isolation measures against infectious diseases as early as ad 2. "

"Because Chinese medicine effectively resisted the spread of the 321 major plagues, most Chinese people do not have a deep understanding of the plague. Plague is the most terrible monster in human history. In history, the Spanish flu, the European black death, the global plague, almost every plague, all caused the tragedy of tens of millions of people."

"Let me briefly talk about the seven major plagues in Europe, almost killing tens of millions of people each time."

"Among them, ancient Greece, which laid the foundation of European civilization, was destroyed by an unheard of plague; In 430 BC, a great plague occurred in Athens, nearly half of the population died, and the whole Athens was almost destroyed. "

"The fate of the Roman Empire was also changed by the great plague. The plague of smallpox and measles in ancient Rome killed one third of the total population. Roman soldiers who fought everywhere brought smallpox and measles to Rome. Infectious diseases took the lives of two Roman emperors. According to dioca, a Roman historian, 2000 people died of diseases in Rome a day. The total death toll was estimated to be as high as 5 million, which greatly weakened the strength of the Roman Empire. "

"The black death occurred in Europe in the 14th century, killing about 25 million people and becoming a turning point in European history. It is said that after the plague, Europe was depressed for hundreds of years. "

"The black death is one of the deadliest plagues in human history. In 1348, hundreds of people died in Europe every day. Europeans lamented that the end of the world had really come. The black death has not spared any corner of Europe, and even extended its claws to Europe's close neighbors - the Middle East and North Africa. By 1348, it had divided its troops into three routes, sweeping out areas such as Spain, Greece, Italy, France, Syria, Egypt and Palestine. "

"After the Black Death entered England, all the tenants in some estates died. The situation in cities is even worse because of the dense population. By may, only 30000 of London's original 50000 residents were left, and the original number was not restored until the 16th century; Two thirds of the students in the famous Oxford University died! When the epidemic was brought under control in 1351, the British Isles and Ireland had lost about 40% of their total population, which was much higher than their total loss in the hundred year war between Britain and France. "

…

"Then why did the plague break out in ancient China, but the plague mortality rate in Europe was not so high?"

"What I want to say here is that the plague is not terrible. The terrible thing is that it has not been treated in time. In the case of traditional Chinese medicine, from ancient times to the present, and even in the Ming and Qing Dynasties, the rise of the school of febrile diseases has also saved many domestic plague patients. "

"Therefore, I always think that traditional Chinese medicine has declined. This is a fact that people in the traditional Chinese medicine community should admit. However, it does not mean that it is worse than western medicine. It has always existed to protect the life, health and safety of our Chinese people. Therefore, I believe that as long as people in the field of traditional Chinese medicine unite and work together to strive for the rise of traditional Chinese medicine, traditional Chinese medicine will rise again sooner or later. "

"Thank you, thank you, I'm finished!"

Xiao Chen came down from the rostrum.

This is really not the speech prepared by the host for Xiao Chen in advance, but Xiao Chen's own abdominal draft, which he said while thinking.

What he wants to say is that since ancient times, the existence of traditional Chinese medicine has been more powerful than western medicine, especially in terms of plague.

In the final analysis, there are many reasons for the decline of traditional Chinese medicine and the rise of Western medicine. However, Xiao Chen has always believed that as long as all people in the field of traditional Chinese medicine work together, traditional Chinese medicine will rise sooner or later and become the most important national medicine in China.

This is what Xiao Chen wants to publish.

The beauty host was a little confused. When she reacted, she hurriedly said, "thank you for Dr. Xiao's wonderful speech. Let's applaud."

The applause below rang out quickly and didn't stop until a few minutes later.

I have to say that the leaders on the podium now feel that Xiao Chen is really not simple. He doesn't have a speech. He speaks it so well. If it were them, they certainly can't.

Moreover, in the case of the outbreak of the plague in the southwest, there is no doubt that this time it is necessary to prove that traditional Chinese medicine is no worse than western medicine.

Moreover, in this case, whether western medicine or traditional Chinese medicine, we must do our part to prevent the spread of the plague again, and save those patients who have been infected by the plague as soon as possible.
