Translation
Li Tian: Zhicheng, whats wrong? You dont look so good.
Long Zhicheng: Im having a stomachache. I often feel sick in my stomach recently.hfu.
Li Tian: You have to see a doctor! I suggest you see a traditional Chinese doctor. In the first place, you can check your disease; in
the second place, you can have an idea about the way that traditional Chinese doctors treat patients.
Long Zhicheng: I heard that Chinese doctors will feel the pulse of a patient when they treat. Why they feel the pulse?
Li Tian: Chinese doctors may get some information through feeling the pulse, just like what western doctors get from the
stethoscope.
Long Zhicheng: Terrific!
Li Tian: Traditional Chinese medicine has very deep theoretical knowledge and it attaches more importance to experience. A
friend whos learning traditional Chinese medicine told me that he has to feel at least several thousand peoples pulses before he
learned that technique.
Long Zhicheng: Dont tell me that traditional Chinese medicine doesnt need the latest technology.
Li Tian: Of course it needs. Nowadays the treatment integrated traditional Chinese and western is very popular. Doctors of
traditional Chinese medicine also need to use the latest technology to treat patients, but no matter what new technology they use,
traditional Chinese medicine is still it is.
Long Zhicheng: Whats the main differences between traditional Chinese and western medicine?
Li Tian: Western medicine takes a person as a machine and each organ of the body as the component of the machine. Which
component is broken, they fix which one. On the contrary, traditional Chinese medicine takes a person as a whole and if theres
some problem with one organ, maybe the problem is related to the other organ of the body.
