"Xiaoxuan, I don't know much about traditional Chinese medicine, or almost none at all. But do you remember the contents of these two books you mentioned, 'Blood Disease Theory' and 'Great Achievement in Surgery'?"
Lin Yongzhen took a breath. The content in ancient Chinese medical books is not in vernacular Chinese, and regardless of reading or memorizing, it is not as convenient and easy as in vernacular.
For the same content of five hundred words, if it were in vernacular, a typical person might memorize it thoroughly within half an hour. But if it is in classical Chinese, half an hour is completely insufficient.
In fact, not just half an hour, even an hour might not be enough to clearly memorize it, let alone recite it fluently.
Moreover, the content in classical Chinese is generally more convoluted, increasing the difficulty of understanding.
As a medical student, there is so much to memorize.
Lin Yongzhen knew the difficulty well.
