Medicine is rational to us. Good is good, bad is bad. In addition to these two, it is a placebo. But now health care is basically promoted by Chinese medicine. Relatively speaking, I believe it is for money, not for illness.
There are some sayings that the things handed down by ancestors must be good, but if they are not good, they will definitely not be handed down. However, our ancestors may not be correct. They passed on the basic rules of existence and the requirements for personality, which we should inherit, but it doesn't mean that we should inherit them all.
I believe that Chinese medicine is useful. Finding useful things, practicing and verifying are what we modern people should do. It's not that we must call our ancestors, but that our ancestors thought the earth was flat and that the world revolved around it. Ancestors thought there was Chang 'e in the sky. Do you think these are right?
Science and technology are developing, and things are definitely better now than before. Our life is really progressing rather than retrogression, which denies the development of human civilization. Have ancestors been to the moon? Have ancestors been to Mars? Can ancestors fly? The same is true of ancestral medicine, and advanced medicine is effective medicine.
Chinese medicine has been tracing back to the source, just like our traditional martial arts are promoting our ancestors. Why should we promote our ancestors when things are easy to use? I think traditional Wushu is more like dancing in essence.
Now medicine has been improving. They affirm their previous academic achievements, but think that the best medical treatment is now in their own hands, not in the hands of their ancestors.
Ancestor's medicine may not be useful. The theory of TCM is philosophy, not medicine. If you talk to philosophers about medicine, it's basically a chicken talking to a duck. Do you think Trump is a physician? Is his philosophy effective in treating diseases? Politicians and philosophers are not doctors. Even without Chinese medicine, China people will not be extinct, and China people will not be out of date.
If we hadn't adapted to the development of the environment, China people would have been extinct. This is the power of human evolution and the foundation of biological existence. It doesn't matter whether there is Chinese medicine or not. There is no Chinese medicine in Africa, America and Europe. Are they extinct? Rabbits have no Chinese medicine, mice have no Chinese medicine, and giant pandas have no Chinese medicine. Are they extinct? Yes, giant pandas are not good. It's going extinct. This is the result of not adapting to the environment, but it is not the power of Chinese medicine.
Western demographers estimate that from the primitive society to the early stage of capitalism, the average age structure of human beings is roughly1the population under the age of 4 changes between 36.2% and 37.8%, and the population aged 15-64 changes between 60.9% and 58.8%, while the population over 65 only accounts for 2.9% and 3.4%, with an average. Is this life expectancy much lower than that of China people? Is this the power of Chinese medicine? I believe in Darwin's power more than Chinese medicine.
