Old Chinese Doctor
About This Novel
Weng Quanhai, a descendant of the Menghe Medical School, was a doctor, a Confucian, and a chivalrous man. He was superb in medical skills and upright in his actions. He soon became famous in Shanghai, but he was jealous and excluded by his peers. As Western learning spread eastward, traditional Chinese medicine was suppressed. The Nationalist Government made the situation worse for the traditional Chinese medicine industry by passing the "Abolition of Old Traditional Chinese Medicine Case." In times of crisis, Weng Quanhai stepped forward and resolutely led his colleagues in traditional Chinese medicine to Nanjing to ask for help. In order to protect the national treasure of traditional Chinese medicine, they were in danger... After the fall of Shanghai, the Japanese secret service imprisoned and forced Weng Quanhai and others to develop a secret medicine to treat diarrhea. The Kuomintang military reunification sent agents to secretly sneak into the research institute, contact Weng Quanhai, obtain prescriptions and information, and intercept this batch of precious medicines, saving the lives of many Chinese Expeditionary Force soldiers. The Japanese spy leader suspected that Weng Quanhai had leaked the secret and ordered a hunt for him... This work runs through seven medical cases, showing the magnificent and turbulent life in Shanghai during the Republic of China. While promoting traditional Chinese medical ethics and medical regulations, it also exposed the ugly faces of quack doctors and gave a glimpse into the ways of doing business, running a household, and being a human being in Confucian culture!

It's sad to watch, but the culture of traditional Chinese medicine is broad and profound
The doll who studied Chinese medicine expressed curiosity and wanted to see what was said.
I have a special liking for this TV plot. Sometimes I go back to watch it and take notes.
I haven't read the book, I've been watching the show. For me, a traditional Chinese medicine enthusiast, it is really attractive. What we are talking about is the actual situation of traditional Chinese medicine. For example, famous doctors each have their own strengths, and Weng Quanhai also has diseases that cannot be cured or have poor curative effects. A patient suffering from hiccups was cured by Weng Quanhai who changed his prescription three times without any effect, but was cured by Lao Sha pinching the Neiguan point. Zhao Mintang is self-aware, even if he gives a gold watch to a disease that cannot be cured, it is too realistic.
This TV series is really good! It reflects the breadth and depth of our country's [Traditional Chinese Medicine]! The current ☞[Kampo] that the Japanese have comes from our country's [Traditional Chinese Medicine]☞just changed its name! Our country has been developing its economy so far! ☞But it has ruined our health! But forget our country's thousands of years of ☞Old Traditional Chinese Medicine! What a pity! Everyone should wake up! We must carry forward traditional Chinese medicine☞...!
In Chinese herbal medicine, there is Qi Kun. I once lived in a rural town and went to see a Western doctor. Very far. The child often has painful urination for a period of time. Crying. The medicine was bitter and I disliked it very much. The old habit is to give medicine. Later, I remembered a small recipe in the Zhuang Medicine Journal: dig out the rhizomes of the leaves to wrap the rice dumplings. Wash, beat, and boil water. Drink it. Taste it yourself first, it's sweet and refreshing. The doll is willing to drink. Tell the kids we are going to play. He said he might be thirsty and drank a bottle of water and tied it to the carriage. Hold her in the basket of a bicycle stroller. . . The scenery along the way is bumpy. Within half an hour, the baby started urinating.
A very good book, remember Weng Quanhai
The ending is a bit confusing
I didn't watch the TV series and just read the original book. Big picture!
It's a pity to write about things in the market in the name of Chinese medicine
Most of the people who come for Chinese medicine are just intrigues - hoping to achieve a slightly more even structure. In addition, in addition to quoting scriptures, it would be better if you could add some personal insights. Professionals look forward to turning medical cases into novels! Thanks!
Throughout the ages, the rivers and lakes are treacherous, the various situations of life, justice and evil, deeply memorable...
