The story of Huo Yaochi

At that time, there was a folk song: "I am not afraid of being stabbed by iron." There are medicinal teas for treating strange diseases. Please go to Xiguan to find Huo Yaochi. There is nothing wrong with rejuvenation. " Huo was also very close to Jiao, the director of Nanjing Yiguang at that time. In the 1940s, at an academic research conference on Chinese and Western medicine, Huo proposed a diagnostic method of "looking, smelling, asking and feeling" in Chinese medicine to a western medicine scholar who had studied abroad, which had no scientific basis and was totally false. He quoted the classic theory of Chinese medicine, systematically expounded the long history and profoundness of Chinese medicine, and pointed out that the treatment based on syndrome differentiation is completely scientific. He believed that Chinese and western medicine have their own strengths, but their origins, standpoints and research methods are different. The two should promote each other and improve together in order to achieve sustainable development. Huo's viewpoint was highly appreciated by Mr Jiao, and he wrote an inscription "Helper" from Nanjing. At that time, Tang, a famous calligrapher in Guangzhou, also presented Huo Yaochi with a seven-character poem, "The medicine is deep, and the pot of Chinese medicine was prepared at that time." Dan Lian, but according to the current situation, conscience is known from heaven. Classic exhibitions often stay up all night and enjoy a high reputation. The national pulse depends on the national hand, and the ancient name is a good doctor. "
