Rebirth 1977 Great Era

Chapter 1077 Dialect Opens a Library, a Silent Person Shows Off His Quick Thinking (Bonus Chapter for Monthly Tickets)

"This condition mostly occurs in the later stages of a serious illness or in elderly and frail people. It is called 'blood deficiency generating wind.' This syndrome is a deficiency syndrome, so it will present a series of symptoms of weakness."

He Xiushan, a representative of the typhoid fever school during the late Qing Dynasty and early Republic of China, proposed the following: "Those who suffer from wind due to blood deficiency are not experiencing true wind, but rather it is because the blood fails to nourish the tendons, causing the tendons and vessels to contract and become unable to move freely. This results in convulsions in the hands and feet, resembling wind stirring, hence the name 'internal deficiency with hidden wind,' commonly known as 'liver wind'..." Even if there is a case of floating yang rising upwards, it is because yin cannot hold yang qi, leading to an isolated excess of yang qi.

"Therefore, the treatment should employ methods of nourishing yin and blood, and suppressing yang and extinguishing wind."

After speaking in dialect, he tapped on the medical record and then looked at Deng Nanxing.

Deng Nanxing scratched his head and said:

"Brother Fang, I belong to the Wenbing School, so it's probably normal that I haven't heard of He Xiushan's profound theories."

Fang Yan smiled after hearing this and said:
"That's normal. He Xiushan's academic ideas are mostly circulated through the works compiled by his disciples, such as 'Revised Popular Treatise on Typhoid Fever' (co-edited with Yu Genchu, Xu Rongzhai, etc.). This book explains the differentiation of typhoid fever in a popular way, combines it with the treatment of miscellaneous internal diseases, and also includes a large number of clinical cases and prescriptions. I have some of it, you can borrow it to take a look."

The others looked at each other in surprise. Goodness, he can't even cure diseases, yet Brother Fang can still give away books.

So someone immediately said:
"Brother Fang, actually, I'm not very good at treating many illnesses."

"Brother Fang, me too!"

"Me too, me too!"

"Um... Brother, it's me!" The classmate, who was eating, said to Fang Yan with food in his mouth.

dialect:"……"

These guys are really taking advantage of the situation.

However, Fang Yan wasn't stingy; he addressed everyone:

"It's alright. Everyone can come to my place tonight. You can read whatever you want, but there's one condition: you must protect the books."

Books are meant to be read. The people in the elite class will most likely settle down in this industry in the future. These are all connections that Fang Yan will have in the future. It's no big deal to show them books now.

No matter how much they study, they won't become their competitors in the upcoming postgraduate entrance exam.

On the contrary, reading his books might help you stand out in the exam among so many people. In places with high elimination rates, sometimes getting one more question right can make all the difference.

The others were also quite excited when they heard Fang Yan's answer, and almost shouted "Long live Brother Fang!" in this public place!
Fang Yan's family's collection of traditional Chinese medicine books was the most extensive that anyone had ever seen. Even the school library paled in comparison.

Although the library has a large number of books, many of them are duplicates. To make it easier for more people to borrow them, Fang Yan's family has no duplicate books, and some of the books there may even be unique copies.

It's something that can only be found in dialects.

By opening up its book resources to everyone, Fangyan is essentially helping them succeed in the postgraduate entrance examination.

And if everyone fails the exam this time, this will most likely be the last time they can study at Fangyan's house.

If they didn't pass the exam, they would be in two different classes, and most of them wouldn't have the nerve to go and borrow books from Fang Yan.

“By the way, please continue,” Xiao Chengzhi said to Fang Yan.

“I’ve said everything. Don’t you still have a medical case? Just give it to me,” Fang Yan said to Xiao Chengzhi.

"No, I mean you should just write out the prescription for this medical case as well, so that Ah Xing can use it as a reference. Otherwise, what if he makes a mistake?"

"You won't be here tomorrow morning, so don't let it turn into a medical incident."

At that moment, a voice rang out:
"Brother Fang has already made it clear, so there's no reason to ask for more."

Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and found it was none other than the taciturn Wang Zhijun. He had finished his lunchbox at some point and was now standing to the side with an empty lunchbox in his hand.

"So you understand? How do you plan to prescribe this medicine?" Xiao Chengzhi asked Wang Zhijun.

Wang Zhijun glanced at Fang Yan, then looked at Xiao Chengzhi and said:

"Nourish true yin and subdue deficient yang."

"Prescription: 3 qian of roasted turtle shell, 3 qian of papaya, 3 qian of poria cocos, 2 qian of stir-fried gardenia, 4 qian of prepared rehmannia root, 3 qian of angelica sinensis, 3 qian of raw oyster shell, 2 qian of schisandra chinensis, and one fresh lotus leaf."

After he finished speaking, he looked at Fang Yan.

Fang Yan was surprised that Wang Zhijun's prescription was actually quite effective.

While everyone else was still thinking, he had already figured it out.

Despite his quiet nature, he processes information much faster than most people.

"Tell me why we're driving like this?" Xiao Chengzhi asked Wang Zhijun.

As a fellow genius, Xiao Chengzhi considered himself the third best in the class, but Wang Zhijun's actions have made him feel a bit threatened.

To be honest, he hadn't thought it through just now.

Upon hearing Xiao Chengzhi's words, Wang Zhijun did not hesitate and immediately replied:
"Angelica sinensis is sweet, pungent and warm, and enters the liver meridian to replenish the deficiency of liver blood."

"Rehmannia glutinosa is sweet and warm, and enters the liver and kidneys. It nourishes blood and yin, and replenishes essence and marrow."

The Compendium of Materia Medica states: "For those with yin deficiency and scattered spirit, only the protective properties of Rehmannia glutinosa can gather it; for those with yin deficiency and rising fire, only the heavy properties of Rehmannia glutinosa can subdue it; for those with yin deficiency and restlessness, only the calming properties of Rehmannia glutinosa can soothe it; for those with yin deficiency and impetuousness, only the sweet properties of Rehmannia glutinosa can moderate it."

"The use of roasted turtle shell and raw oyster shell is to take advantage of the heavy and auspicious nature of these shellfish, whose salty flavor enters the Yin and Yang channels to subdue the rising of deficient Yang. Papaya is sour and warm, entering the Liver meridian to soften the Liver, relax muscles and tendons. Schisandra chinensis is sour, sweet and warm, nourishing the Kidneys and generating fluids, and astringing floating Yang. Fried gardenia is bitter and cold, clearing excess heat from the Liver meridian. Poria cocos is sweet, bland and neutral, used in nourishing and rich dishes to make it nourishing without being greasy. The 'Ben Cao Bie Lu' says it can 'open the chest and viscera, regulate the Qi of the internal organs, eliminate evil from the Kidneys, nourish Yin, benefit Qi and strength, and preserve the spirit and guard the center.' The wonder of using fresh lotus leaves lies in clearing away floating heat in the upper Jiao and dispersing the evil that is stagnant in the collaterals."

"This prescription uses sour, bitter, sweet and salty flavors together, and combines cold and warm properties with tonification and purgation. It can make the true yin full, the dragon fire dormant, the qi and blood flow smoothly, and the tendons and vessels nourished. In this way, liver wind can be stopped."

This guy quoted extensively from classical texts and explained his reasoning process very clearly.

Xiao Chengzhi couldn't find anything wrong with it, and the others nodded in agreement.

Fang Yan said to Wang Zhijun:
"Zhijun's method is good, and the medicines are quite inexpensive. It's a very good prescription."

Upon hearing the praise in dialect, Wang Zhijun's poker face broke into a smile.

He cupped his hands in greeting to the person speaking in dialect.

Fang Yan smiled and then addressed the crowd:

"Alright, then this illness is considered resolved. Give me the next medical case."

"Whose is next?" Fang Yan asked.

At this moment, Lao Fan raised his hand and said somewhat embarrassedly:

"I!"

PS: I got another 100 monthly votes, so after finishing this chapter, I still owe everyone 25000 words.

There will be more this afternoon.
