Chapter 51: Become a disciple of Professor Yan
After seeing his father-in-law off, Lu Cheng's small clinic became busy.
In Yanjing, a densely populated metropolis with generally high incomes, it is relatively easy to make money, especially for those who have a skill.
Needless to say, Lu Cheng has a solid foundation in traditional Chinese medicine. He can treat and regulate various common waist and leg pains, gynecological diseases of men and women, etc. through manipulation, acupuncture, etc.
After word of mouth spread, more and more patients came to visit.
Lu Cheng originally wanted to find a job for Xiulian, but once the small clinic became busy, Xiulian also became busy and had no time to think about other things.
The summer vacation was neither long nor short. Every day, there were more than 10 to 20 patients, sometimes up to 30. Some were from Chaoyang District, and some came from other areas.
By the end of the summer vacation, after deducting the cost of various medicinal materials, Lu Cheng's small clinic had a net income of two to three hundred yuan.
After school started, Lu Cheng naturally couldn't see patients every day, so Xiu Lian also had some free time.
In order to find a job for Xiulian, Lu Cheng figured out the method of making sour plum soup and taught it to Xiulian.
Afterwards, Lu Cheng bought a tricycle, two thermos buckets, purchased some materials, and contacted a popsicle manufacturer to purchase ice cubes on a regular basis.
In this way, when Xiulian really has no time to spare, she can go to the street to sell iced sour plum soup and mung bean soup.
Unexpectedly, this small business became completely popular once it was started.
In this hot season, a cup of iced sour plum soup is undoubtedly the best choice to relieve the heat.
If she didn't have to take care of the children, Xiulian would have wanted to push the bike out every day.
At the same time, Lu Cheng studied with Professor Yan at school for more than half a year and finally got Professor Yan's recognition.
One day, Lu Cheng finished his study and was about to leave when Professor Yan suddenly called him over and said, "Lu Cheng, are you willing to be my disciple and learn Chinese medicine from me?"
Lu Cheng was delighted when he heard this and immediately nodded and agreed: "Of course I am willing."
"Okay, go back and prepare. Tomorrow I will invite several famous masters to witness and officially accept you as my apprentice."
Nowadays, unlike in ancient times, even in the inheritance of traditional Chinese medicine, the ceremony of accepting disciples is kept as simple as possible to avoid being accused of being feudal.
Of course, the necessary links are still there.
The next morning, Lu Cheng prepared the letter of apprenticeship as per the rules and came to the agreed place of apprenticeship, the Chinese Medicine Prescription Research Laboratory.
Several fellow practitioners had already arrived in advance, set up the venue, and were waiting for the arrival of the master and several witnessing guests.
When they saw Lu Cheng, several senior brothers congratulated him: "Lu Cheng, congratulations, you will become our junior brother."
"Yes, from now on, you have to call me Senior Brother for the rest of your life."
"Then I'll ask all the senior brothers to take good care of me in the future."
Soon, Professor Yan and several equally respected Chinese medicine masters arrived at the scene.
As the host of the ceremony, the eldest brother led his fellow students to invite several teachers to take their seats, and then began to briefly introduce Professor Yan's life: "… Professor Yan was born into a famous Chinese medicine family. He graduated from the Jiangsu Province Traditional Chinese Medicine Continuing Education School in 56, and was transferred to Yenching University of Chinese Medicine in 67. He served as the head of the Chinese Medicine Teaching and Research Group, the director of the Chinese Medicine Prescription Teaching and Research Section, and the director of the Chinese Medicine Teaching and Research Section. He has made outstanding contributions to the teaching and research work of the University of Chinese Medicine. He was promoted to associate professor in 62 and professor in 78…"
After introducing Professor Wanyan, the host began to read out the teacher's precepts: "Respect teachers and friends, be humble and courteous; cultivate morality and skills, and then you can show your skills; study hard and avoid superficial learning; be indifferent to fame and wealth, and only wish for the well-being of the people!"
After reading out the master's instructions, the new disciple will recite the letter of apprenticeship.
Lu Cheng stepped forward, bowed respectfully, opened the apprenticeship letter, and began to read: "A teacher is someone who teaches and explains. Medicine is a great path, and you have a heavy responsibility. I respectfully worship a famous teacher, read the classics, learn Chinese medicine, and be inclusive. Only then can you understand the path of Chinese medicine and master the art of medicine...
I now suddenly accept the name of my teacher, observe the etiquette of a disciple, follow his teachings, inherit his legacy, and revitalize the cause of traditional Chinese medicine... I hope you will accept it!"
As Professor Yan nodded in agreement, Lu Cheng took the tea handed to him by his senior brother and respectfully presented it to his master, Professor Yan.
Professor Yan drank the tea, which was considered as a formal recognition of Lu Cheng, his new disciple.
Afterwards, Lu Cheng bowed and Professor Yan and several famous Chinese medicine experts gave him a speech one by one.
Among the several famous Chinese medicine experts present, some were senior leaders of the school, some were Chinese medicine experts at Dongzhimen Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine, and some were top experts from the National Academy of Chinese Medicine.
Everyone encouraged Lu Cheng to cultivate medical ethics, study medical skills, promote traditional Chinese medicine, and cure diseases and save lives.
After all, nowadays it is different from ancient times, and the ceremony of accepting disciples has become much simpler.
But after this ceremony, the entire Chinese medicine community recognized Lu Cheng.
Lu Cheng is no longer an ordinary student at a traditional Chinese medicine university, but a disciple of a famous Chinese medicine master with a heritage and a master to follow.
The most obvious change is that Professor Yan and his students are more concerned about Lu Cheng and teach him more attentively.
No matter what problems Lu Cheng encountered, his master and fellow practitioners would answer them attentively and give him many case examples to help him learn more thoroughly.
Moreover, some of Professor Yan’s disciples are practicing medicine in traditional Chinese medicine hospitals.
In addition to studying, Professor Yan also asked those senior students to take Lu Cheng to the Chinese Medicine Hospital to see patients, so as to help Lu Cheng gain some medical experience.
At first, these senior brothers just let Lu Cheng watch from the side, but later they found that Lu Cheng had a solid foundation and rich experience, so they let Lu Cheng sit in and see patients, and they gave guidance from the side.
In this way, patients treated by Lu Cheng can increase their medical experience as long as the difficulty reaches a certain level.
As the semester was coming to an end, Lu Cheng finally received another system notification:
"Congratulations, host. You have reached the maximum medical experience level and can be upgraded to level 4."
When Lu Cheng clicked on the upgrade, the scene in front of him changed and he came to the virtual space again.
The scene in front of me was neither a hospital nor a clinic, but an empty house with doors on all four walls. On each door were several large characters written: "Chinese medicine prescriptions, Chinese medicine pharmacology research, Chinese medicine acupuncture, observation, smell, questioning, palpation..."
Traditional Chinese medicine is profound and each Chinese medicine practitioner is good at different things. Lu Cheng stood in front of the door and thought for a moment. His master, Professor Yan, mainly studies the pharmacology and prescriptions of traditional Chinese medicine, and is particularly good at treating diseases of the spleen and stomach, external infections, heart and brain, etc.
Lu Cheng could also learn these knowledge slowly from a teacher outside, but acupuncture was what Lu Cheng lacked.
Therefore, Lu Cheng decided to study acupuncture first.
As he stepped into the door with the words "Traditional Chinese Medicine and Acupuncture" written on it, the scene in front of him changed. Lu Cheng appeared in an ancient hall, surrounded by people wearing Song Dynasty official uniforms.
Tai Shang, a doctor in red official uniform, is explaining to everyone. Next to him stands a bronze statue with human acupuncture points dotted on it.
"If you want to learn acupuncture well, you must first know all the acupuncture points on the human body. I have been ordered to create a bronze acupuncture man..."
Lu Cheng looked up at the bronze acupuncture man not far away, and suddenly he realized that this person was actually the famous master who presided over the creation of the bronze acupuncture man in the Northern Song Dynasty, Wang Weiyi!
The virtual space of this system is so powerful that it allows Lu Cheng to travel through time and space and learn medical skills from those truly famous doctors in history.
Since I met Wang Weiyi in level 4, will I be able to meet Bian Que, Hua Tuo, Zhang Zhongjing, Sun Simiao, Li Shizhen, etc. in the future?
