Chapter 349: Chapter 151: Dean Zhang, Don’t Listen—This Isn’t Something You Can Learn (3)

If there’s no distribution of Yang Qi, the rising and falling of Yin and Yang is impossible. Conversely, this is also a prerequisite for the rising and falling of Yin and Yang.

In terms of the cause and pathology of diseases, Old Mr. Lu has always believed that many diseases are caused by the deficiency and stagnation of Yang Qi in the body, or that pathogenic Qi damages Yang, leading to illness. This is why the Fire God School is also called the Yang Support School.

The Fire God School’s approach to treating illnesses emphasizes supporting Yang.

Speaking of this, we must mention something—what exactly is supporting Yang?"

At this point, Huang Beishan and Zhang Jingcai instinctively straightened up, like good students attentively listening to a lecture, eager to catch anything they didn’t understand.

Both of them are considered experts in their respective fields and could even be called Masters of Medicine. Naturally, they know that what Lu Xuan is about to say is the key.

Meanwhile, seeing the solemn attitude of Huang Beishan and Zhang Jingcai, Zhang Jiwei couldn’t help but say, "Are you really going to pretend I’m not here? Aren’t you afraid I’ll spread such important stuff?"

"Even though I don’t understand traditional Chinese medicine, I know that what you’re talking about is like martial arts masterpieces from a wuxia novel. Shouldn’t there be some discretion? If it really gets out, won’t you blame me, Zhang Jiwei?"

"Don’t worry, if it gets out, it has nothing to do with you. We’re not that unreasonable."

Zhang Jiwei was full of questions.

Huang Beishan looked disdainful: "You’re a Western medicine practitioner. It’s not that I look down on you, but with so much content, not only could you not memorize it, but you also couldn’t jot it down even if given paper and a pen.

Besides, do you understand?"

"How do you know I don’t understand?" Zhang Jiwei looked unconvinced. "Are you underestimating me, Huang Beishan? I’m the dean of the City First Hospital, and I was once the head of the cardiology department. Do you really think I can’t understand?"

Yet Huang Beishan wasn’t fooled by Zhang Jiwei’s bravado. Instead, he chuckled, "Oh, so Dean Zhang understands. Why doesn’t Dean Zhang explain the Fire God School to us? Something like the Yin and Yang theory, since we’re also unsure. If Dean Zhang knows, you wouldn’t hold it back, right?"

Zhang Jiwei was so frustrated that he wanted to change his brain, wishing he could articulate some grand theories to intimidate Huang Beishan.

But despite racking his brains, he couldn’t come up with anything, so he merely glared at Huang Beishan fiercely, flung his hand, snorted, and turned away to play with his phone.

You guys talk. I’m done asking. 𝑓𝑟𝑒𝘦𝓌𝑒𝑏𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝘭.𝒸𝘰𝑚

Damn Huang Beishan, when I get back, I’ll study traditional Chinese medicine well. Then I’ll show you just how talented Zhang Jiwei is.

Zhang Jiwei thought fiercely.

Huang Beishan, however, merely smiled at Zhang Jiwei’s back, "Ignore him. Let’s continue."

Lu Xuan had a chance to observe the interactions among the older generation, especially Huang Beishan and Zhang Jiwei. At first, they were quite polite to each other, but soon they were eager to undermine each other, wishing to put the other underfoot.

However, Lu Xuan simply glanced at them before refocusing on the topic at hand:

"So, what is supporting Yang?

We need to delve deeper into our current understanding of Yang and Yin in the body.

It should be said that within Yin and Yang, there exists Yin and Yang on many different levels. When we talk about the balance of Yin and Yang, it has to be the balance of the same level of Yin and Yang.

So, when treating diseases, what is the largest Yin and Yang in the human body?

The greatest Yin is nutritional substances, and the greatest Yang is the structure of substances, or rather, the energy that substances can offer the body.

Speaking of this, we must mention what is Yin deficiency?

Yin deficiency is a lack of nutrition. Every day when we eat and drink, it’s all about supplementing Yin, so modern people almost never have to worry about Yin deficiency. If there’s occasional Yin deficiency, it’s hardly considered a disease too.

Of course, after intense exercise under the blazing sun, there surely will be Yin deficiency, due to a lack of water and sugar, but once food is taken in, the Yin deficiency is immediately replenished.

If there’s truly long-term Yin deficiency, it must be because of Yang deficiency, meaning impaired functions, leading to poor nutrient absorption.

Take diabetes, for example. Diabetics must have Yin deficiency because cells can’t absorb enough sugar. But nourishing Yin is pointless because the issue isn’t that there’s not enough nutrient intake, but instead, it’s kidney Yang deficiency—impaired function that needs to be addressed to cure the illness.

Yang deficiency is the root, Yin deficiency is the surface.

And Qi, being the body’s circulatory function, is within the scope of Yang. Generally, we talk about Yang Qi being sufficient or insufficient. You hardly hear of anyone having sufficient or insufficient Yin Qi in a medical context.

Therefore, the Fire God School primarily focuses on supporting Yang, which means supplementing Primordial Qi, comprehensively enhancing the body’s immune and regeneration systems’ operational speed, which is the best way to combat the vast majority of diseases.

This is also why Old Mr. Li proposed the idea that the absence of Yang Qi in one area indicates illness, because throughout his medical practice, he never encountered a real case of Yin deficiency."

"Of course, the real misunderstanding of the Yang Support School by many Chinese medicine practitioners isn’t about these things, but rather about the treatment concepts being somewhat at odds with the current mainstream ones."

"How so?"

Huang Beishan raised his eyebrows, full of interest.

Zhang Jingcai also appeared quite curious.

And Zhang Jiwei, who had turned away previously, claiming he would stop listening, couldn’t help but perk up his ears again at this point.
