First, the origin of Chinese medicine
Traditional Chinese medicine originated from primitive society. During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the theory of traditional Chinese medicine has basically taken shape, and branches of anatomy and medicine have emerged. Four diagnostic methods were used, including acupuncture, acupuncture, decoction, moxibustion, guidance, qi distribution and prayer. Since ancient times? Medicine and morality are interlinked? This influence can be traced back to Huang's classic Huangdi Neijing, which is one of the four classics of traditional Chinese medicine and the earliest medical classic in China medical treasure house.
Second, the development of Chinese medicine.
Zhang Zhongjing, a famous physician, appeared in the Eastern Han Dynasty. Does he know? Eight classes? (yin and yang are cold and hot), and sum it up? Eight methods? . Hua tuo is famous for his mastery of surgery and anesthesia. He also founded? Wuqinxi? Fitness gymnastics. In the Tang Dynasty, Sun Simiao summarized the theories and experiences of predecessors and collected more than 5,000 prescriptions, focusing on syndrome differentiation and treatment. Because of Sun Simiao's high medical ethics, he was honored as? Drug king? .
Third, the prosperity of Chinese medicine.
Prescriptions in Longmen Grottoes There are many prescriptions in Tang Dynasty carved on the grottoes, including 150 kinds. Most of the drugs used are plant, animal and mineral drugs. Prescriptions include internal medicine, surgery, pediatrics and five official departments. The medicinal materials involved can be found among the people, which brings great convenience to the people. These prescriptions can not only treat common diseases, but also intractable diseases, such as esophageal cancer, and can be treated with Zhicuo recipe. 10 century, Japanese scholars listed it as the prescription of medical mind, which shows its value and influence. Square point is the earliest stone square in China, which plays an important role in the research of traditional Chinese medicine.
Fourth, the decline of Chinese medicine.
After the Ming and Qing Dynasties, the school of febrile diseases appeared, which gradually replaced the classic school of traditional Chinese medicine. Li Shizhen's Compendium of Materia Medica was written in the late Ming Dynasty, which marked the decline of traditional medicine in China. In the same period, Mongolian medicine and Tibetan medicine were influenced by Chinese medicine. Medicine has also made great progress in eastern Korea. For example, Xu Jun wrote A Treasure of Oriental Medicine.
Since the late Qing Dynasty, China has been invaded by western powers and its national strength has weakened. At the same time, the influx of modern medicine (western medicine) has also seriously affected the development of Chinese medicine. In China, many people advocate medical modernization, and Chinese medicine is facing great challenges. People began to test it with the thinking mode of western medical system, and traditional Chinese medicine fell into the dispute of keeping or abolishing. The same is true of Japanese and Korean medicine, which belongs to China's medical system.
From these historical developments, we can see that the position of Chinese medicine in the medical field, if it can really be replaced, has long since disappeared. Chinese medicine still exists because it is irreplaceable.
