Why do people in China prefer to believe in modern medicine rather than traditional Chinese medicine?
Because modern medical examination technology is more advanced, fast and convenient, but Chinese medicine can't see the effect of treatment, and it is more troublesome to boil medicine. Now many people go to the hospital to see western medicine. Although some people will go to see Chinese medicine, compared with the number of people who see western medicine, it has decreased. There are also many people who think that western medicine is more effective than traditional Chinese medicine, which is obviously a local medicine in China and has a history of thousands of years. Why not be trusted?

1. The examination of western medicine is more accurate. The development of western medicine began with the Western Renaissance. With the popularization of scientific experiments, some scientists are very interested in human blood, so they conduct human anatomy, thus promoting the development of western medicine. Modern medicine is formed on the basis of human anatomy. Due to the in-depth understanding of human body structure, people's physical diseases can often be detected by instruments and treated according to symptoms.

Traditional Chinese medicine is not like this, and it is often treated with the results of pulse diagnosis in traditional Chinese medicine. The symptoms and problems of Chinese medicine are often abstract, such as weakness, body heat, spleen and stomach problems and so on. Hearing this, the patient couldn't figure out what the problem was. Some people do not believe this statement. So they would rather go to a big hospital for examination and get accurate examination results.

2. Western medicine works faster than traditional Chinese medicine. Traditional Chinese medicine is not only a vague diagnosis, but even after the diagnosis is completed, Chinese herbal medicines are often prepared for patients. Patients have to take Chinese herbal medicines home, and it takes time to cook. Because Chinese medicine pays attention to long-term conditioning, it takes time to boil medicine, and it takes time for Chinese medicine to take effect. Sometimes doctors will ask patients to take a course of medicine before returning to the clinic, and then prepare a second course of Chinese medicine. Some people are likely to finish a course of treatment and find that they have no effect, so they will think that these Chinese medicines have no effect.

Western medicine takes effect quickly because it can accurately treat human discomfort and quickly relieve people's pain. The doctor will prescribe several different western medicines for patients according to their physical condition, and each western medicine is aimed at different diseases. The treatment effect is faster in this way. Therefore, patients will feel that western medicine is more effective.

3. Admiration for western science and technology. In fact, since the introduction of western culture into China, Chinese medicine has been suppressed by western medicine. Because Chinese medicine can only contain and alleviate some diseases, while western medicine can be completely cured by surgery, and even achieve the ability to bring back the dead. Chinese medicine is inferior to western medicine in this respect. People believe in western medicine so much because the west is strong enough and its technology is more advanced than that of China.

Even after more than one hundred years, China has been learning western science and technology. Many people will go to the west to study medicine, law, physics, chemistry and so on. Because these natural sciences have not developed for a long time in China, they have no deep foundation in the West. Many people have always maintained this concept, so they hold western culture and science in high esteem. Under the influence of this concept, people will trust western medicine more.

Generally speaking, people trust western medicine because it is better than traditional Chinese medicine, but the deepest reason is that people think that western technology is developed enough. However, western medicine used in western medicine still has side effects, which can take effect quickly but also have negative effects on the body; Although Chinese medicine is slow to take effect, it is beneficial to the body, and sometimes it is more effective than western medicine.
