<h1><b>Another Connotation of the Relationship between Teachers and Students</b></h1><p class="ql-block"><br></p><p class="ql-block">As the saying goes:A teacher for a day is a father for a lifetime.(一日為師終身為父)In ancient times, most people learned traditional Chinese medicine through apprenticeship.The teacher not only imparts survival skills to his disciples, but also guides his life direction like his elders do.</p><p class="ql-block"><br></p><p class="ql-block">But at the same time, teachers also have high moral requirements for their disciples,especially for traditional Chinese medicine, because it is a subject related to life and death.There are recorded some stories in the ancient times that the teachers spend a long time to examine students moral character before imparting skills to them.</p><p class="ql-block"><br></p><p class="ql-block">It was emphasized in Inner Classic that don’t teach the TCM essence to the person with evil motives(非其人勿教，非其真勿授)or it will leak the secrets and bring serious consequences.Many ancient people began learning traditional Chinese medicine as apprentices, with masters imparting basic skills while observing the behavior of their disciples. But for the inheritance of modern Chinese medicine, many students are unwilling to do these inconspicuous things and often think of achieving success in one step. No wonder many masters of traditional Chinese medicine lament that their vast knowledge and skills have no successors.</p> <h5><b style="font-size:15px;">材料來源：</b><span style="font-size:15px;">《身在中醫(yī)》</span></h5><h5><b style="font-size:15px;">翻譯：</b><span style="font-size:15px;">謝子善</span></h5><h5><b style="font-size:15px;">編輯：</b><span style="font-size:15px;">謝子善</span></h5>
