The military, agriculture, industry, commerce, education and other parts of the People's Army ruling region are developing rapidly. The only area that has caused the most headache for Fang Nan is medicine. The development of medicine in the People's Army ruling region is very slow.

People have birth, old age, sickness and death. "Sickness" is very important. There is no one in the world who never gets sick. In mild cases, diarrhea, colds, and in severe cases, important organs of the body.

It doesn’t matter if people encounter minor illnesses. If they persist, they will recover soon. Once they get seriously ill, it is not as simple as persistence. They are very likely to die of illness.

From royalty to royalty to lower class, what people are most afraid of is to get seriously ill. The royal family has a royal doctor with excellent medical skills, but most serious illnesses cannot be cured. At most, it is to relieve it a little, and see if the sick person can survive it.

Even the most common thing about having children is a life-threatening test for women. Even the royal family often has one corpse and two lives, let alone the people.

Fang Nan divided medicine into traditional medicine and modern medicine. Traditional medicine is the so-called traditional Chinese medicine, and modern medicine is the so-called Western medicine.

Just like the development of science and technology, medicine should not be divided by region, but by time. Even if Western medicine has not been introduced to China and given enough time, modern medicine can be gradually developed from traditional medicine. However, under the rule of the bribery dynasty, this time will be very long.

Traditional medicine originated in primitive society. Traditional medical theories had basically been formed during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. Anatomy and medical divisions have emerged. The "four diagnosis" has been adopted. The treatment methods include Bianshi, acupuncture, decoction, moxibustion, guidance, qi distribution, Zhuyou, etc.

Since ancient times, there has been a saying that "medical communication is connected". This influence can be traced back to the classics of Huang Lao Taoism - "Huangdi Neijing". It is one of the four classic works of traditional Chinese medicine and the earliest medical classic in the land of China. It is also a medical masterpiece that studies human physiology, pathology, diagnosis, therapeutic principles and pharmacy.

In theory, the "Yellow Emperor's Internal Classic" establishes theories of "Yin and Yang and Five Elements", "Pulse and Eye Theory", "Zangxiang Theory", "Meridian Theory", "cause Theory", "Pathology Theory", "Diseases", "Diagnosis Method", "Discussion on Treatment", "Health Preservation", "Lucky Science" and other theories in traditional medicine.

Later, traditional medicine and health science began to use yin and yang and five elements to explain human physiology based on the pre-Qin Taoist thought, and medical engineering, gold needles, copper keys, etc. appeared.

The famous medical scientist Zhang Zhongjing appeared in the Eastern Han Dynasty. He had already understood the "Eight Principles" (yin and yang, exterior and interior, deficiency and excess, cold and heat) and summarized the "Eight Methods"; Hua Tuo was famous all over the world for his proficiency in surgery and anesthesia, and also founded the "Five Animal Plays" of physical exercises.

Sun Simiao of the Tang Dynasty summarized the theories of his predecessors and summarized his experiences, collected more than 5,000 prescriptions, and used dialectical treatment. Because of his highest medical ethics, he was respected as the "King of Medicine".

After the Tang Dynasty, traditional medical theories and works were widely spread to Goryeo, Japan, Central Asia, West Asia and other places.

During the Song Dynasty, the Song government established the Hanlin Medical College, and the medical division was almost complete, and unified acupuncture and acupuncture caused by copying and publishing the "Tujing".

Since the Jin and Yuan dynasties, traditional medicine began to decline. After the Ming and Qing Dynasties, the warm disease school appeared, which gradually replaced the classical prescription school. Li Shizhen's "Compendium of Materia Medica" written in the late Ming Dynasty marked the decline of traditional Chinese medicine pharmacology.

The development of traditional medicine has been almost two thousand years. Some things in traditional medicine, such as meridians, are mysterious and mysterious to Fang Nan. Even in the era of rapid development of technology, the use of technological means cannot find traces of meridians in the human body.

If you don’t care about these mysterious and mysterious things, in Fang Nan’s opinion, traditional medicine has poor treatment effects. It doesn’t matter if you have minor illnesses. Traditional medicine is a little confused when encountering major illnesses. For example, lesions in important organs of the human body cannot be cured by traditional medicine, whether it is acupuncture or taking decoctions. At most, it will relieve the disease and let the patient live for a few more days. He will die.

Traditional medicine is considered medicine at least, and it has some effect on the disease. In Western countries, bloodletting can be used as a treatment method. Isn’t this to make the patient die faster?

However, it is also because Western countries have not developed much in traditional medicine, and they directly use knife to bleed on people. Western countries have developed into modern medicine faster. Because traditional medicine is deeply rooted in China, it is more difficult to develop modern medicine naturally.

Modern medicine cannot be developed just by wanting to develop. At present, the People's Army ruling areas are dominated by traditional medicine, and modern medicine is in its infancy.

When the People's Army raised the flag to occupy the entire Guangdong, it was very rare to attack the doctors and doctors in the ruling area. On the one hand, most doctors in the entire era followed the "benevolence of doctors" and could be called good people. On the other hand, Fang Nan asked to let go of doctors who only made small mistakes and only arrested doctors who were seriously guilty.

Originally, there were very few doctors. If a large number of doctors were arrested and killed, the medical development in the People's Army-ruled areas would be slower.

In order to develop medicine, the People's Military Government issued a government order, all clinics are exempt from taxes, and more apprentices are accepted by clinics, and the People's Military Government will also give rewards.

Even so, the development of medicine in the People's Army-ruled areas is still very slow. The most important point is that it takes ten years or even longer for apprentices in traditional medicine to grow into independent doctors.

Apprentices must at least be able to read. After entering the clinic, they must know all the medicinal materials and have to memorize medical skills. Only after a whole set of apprentices can they try to treat patients under the care of teachers, accumulate experience little by little, and finally get recognized by teachers before they can become teachers.

Fang Nan is determined to establish a medical school to allow experienced doctors to serve as teachers, and can teach more students at the same time and quickly train batches of doctors, which can accelerate the development of medicine.

The key is that apprentices need to be able to read. There are very limited people who can read. Even if a medical school is established, there will be no enough students to disperse the limited number of people to the doctor. If a doctor leads several apprentices, the apprentices will learn faster.

This three-year education class has more than 4,000 graduates, and the number is still a little small. Fang Nan is reluctant to invest in traditional medicine. Even if some graduates like medicine, they still have to continue to learn biology and chemistry and move towards modern medicine.

Only when three years pass and tens of thousands of three-year education graduates appear will Fang Nan devote a small number of people to traditional medicine, and then medical schools or even medical universities can be established.

Talent is the most important thing. Whether it is traditional medicine or modern medicine, it requires enough people, literate people, and even some knowledge of biological knowledge.
