In all fairness, Lu Xun's criticism of these specific issues is correct, and it is inevitable that he will be biased when he touches the pain of some Chinese medicine. Later, Lu Xun said frankly: "Most of them delayed my father's illness, but I'm afraid there are also some personal grudges that hurt his skin" (From the beard to the grave of teeth). From this perspective, Lu Xun did not oppose Chinese medicine, but criticized quack doctors. It's just that the roaring arrow crossed the border and accidentally hit several yellow leaves in the medical forest. Mr. Lu Xun's later evaluation of Compendium of Materia Medica and Folk Medicine is fair and profound, which proves this point.

Let's take a look at Lu Xun and Me for Seventy Years written by Mr. Zhou Haiying. Through this book and the experience of Mr. Da's parents and children, we can see Mr. Lu Xun's attitude towards Chinese medicine. Mr. Ying Hai recalled in his book: "Mother (Xu Guangping) had a lot of leucorrhea because of overwork, and western medicine gave way to washing, but it didn't work. She bought' Wuji Baifeng Pill', and it worked quickly, even surprised western doctors. This Chinese medicine pill was later introduced to Xiaohong by her parents, because she was also weak, tired, emotionally unstable, and even suffered from irregular menstruation in women, and the result was cured. " According to this, Yinghai commented: "Some people once wrote that Lu Xun opposed Chinese medicine and did not believe in Chinese medicine. In fact, it seems that this is not the case. " In the book, Mr. Ying Hai also mentioned that he suffered from severe asthma when he was a child, and all kinds of drugs were ineffective. This paper introduces Lu Xun dipping mustard in a washbasin with boiling water. Then wring out the towel and apply it to the child's back, and the effect is very good. This is obviously a folk Chinese medicine therapy. Lu Xun personally operated it and tried it every time. This should also be said to be the attitude of the big teacher towards Chinese medicine!
