What are the basic knowledge of TCM?
My opinion on the basic knowledge of TCM: TCM is not only a pure medicine, but also an important part of China traditional culture, which combines the essence and wisdom of China traditional culture, follows the ancient philosophical thinking and permeates the understanding of the unity of man and nature. Chinese medicine has four points: the first point is medical ethics. Everyone has a different view, so I think of a couplet, "I don't want fame or profit, I just want to relieve the suffering of the people, I don't want to talk about things, I just want Xiu De to do good." It has been said by predecessors that doctors care for their parents because the patient's suffering and life are given to the doctor. Indeed, medicine is a knowledge of being a man. Without a kind heart, how can we save lives? The second point is that "man is born of the spirit of heaven and earth." . Therefore, everything in the world will affect people, and people can also reflect everything in their environment. I remember a 62-year-old woman from Ceng Zhi who lived in Hejing District 3, Shawan. He complained that he had been coughing for two years and many treatments had failed. Three doses of medicine were prescribed, and I went back for a visit a few days later, saying that I got a little better after taking the medicine, and I coughed again the next day. After detailed inquiry, I asked if there was something wrong with Feng Shui at home, and finally decided to go with me. It is found that the sick woman's room is located in the northeast of the room, which is the road leading to the shade of the whole room, which is called "the gate of hell" in Feng Shui. Women are yin, and old age is even less. If you live in a shady place, the shade is too heavy, and the illness will linger, advise him to change rooms. . Later, it was confirmed by my son that 7 days after the house change, the disease recovered without medicine, and the qi of heaven and earth was made by people. Everything in the world will affect people, but people will also change the environment. This feng shui will not be discussed in detail here. The third point is that "form and spirit are inseparable". It is believed that human beings can be divided into form and spirit. As the saying goes, "the shape is effortless, and the spirit is not scattered, but it can live a hundred lives." According to the current teaching method, the body is the driving body, and God is the soul. I'm not talking about superstition here. The soul does exist. If you don't believe it, Chinese medicine will be difficult to understand. Because Chinese medicine talks about this problem in many places, such as form and spirit, Wei Ying, qi and blood, and so on. After determining the human soul, these problems are easy to understand. As far as modern science is concerned, it is not difficult to make an object with the same shape and chemical composition as the human body. But no matter what you do, this object can't grow and survive by itself. Why? Because modern science doesn't believe in souls, it creates an image of things without gods. There are also many ways to use the soul in China's ancient biographies, and the "You Zhu" branch of TCM is one of them. Unfortunately, it is strictly controlled by the current government. The technique of sleep in western research is also the technique of applying human soul. This is exactly what Laozi said: "Tao is not Tao, nor is it constant." A name is not a name, not a constant name. "the reason. The fourth point is that "diseases are known and preventable. Those who say there is no cure for the disease have not been treated. "Chinese medicine believes that the disease is caused by evil, born in the sun, hot and cold. Born in yin, derived from diet and daily life, yin and yang have qi. And everything has yin, that is, yang, and one thing is divided into two. Therefore, since there is a disease, there must be a solution, this interaction of yin and yang. So is the dialectical view of traditional Chinese medicine. Everything in nature is constantly moving, and the root of the movement and change of the whole world lies in the contradictory unity of yin and yang in the world. The treatment of traditional Chinese medicine also sets the priority order of specimens according to this principle (the so-called root is the opposite of the disease). Symptoms of the disease). It is believed that the treatment must be rooted, but if it is urgent, it must be treated first. Determine the order of treatment, and take active or negative treatment for hand amputation. . Whether active treatment or passive treatment, it is aimed at the essence of the disease and the application of drugs with opposite nature for syndromes. This is the spontaneous application of the dialectical view that contradiction and opposition are both struggle and unity, and the general principle of dealing with it is tit for tat. In view of the imbalance of yin and yang reflected by syndromes, metallurgical methods are used to correct this imbalance of yin and yang. In clinical application, due to the different seasons, climate, region, age, physique, living habits, living environment and occupation of patients, the treatment of the same disease is also different. It contains the dialectical thought of combining the generality and particularity of contradiction. Sometimes, although different diseases, but in its development process, the same changes in pathogenesis, you can take the same treatment. This shows that Chinese medicine views the occurrence and development of diseases from a moving point of view rather than a static point of view, and views the occurrence and development of diseases from a linked point of view rather than an isolated point of view. And pay attention to its unity, that is, the overall concept It not only attaches importance to the unity and integrity of all parts of the human body, but also attaches great importance to the unity and integrity of man and nature. In addition to yin and yang, Chinese medicine also has five elements that are indispensable. Namely, gold, wood, water, fire and earth. Its characteristics are as follows: "The wood is straight and sour, the water is moist and salty, and the fire is bitter and inflamed. Jin Yue's leather tastes pungent and the soil is sweet. "Through its characteristics, it extends everything in the world. The theory of five elements is based on the "five elements" to explain the principle of mutual restriction between things, the relationship between human body and five elements, the seasonal frequency and pathogenesis changes of five zang-organs diseases, the mechanism of clinical phenomena and the determination of treatment methods. It is believed that human life is not only in constant movement, but also related to the outside world, and the concept that the internal and external environment of the body is a unified whole is expounded in detail. Yin and yang and five elements are all derived from qi, and the five elements are the essence of yin and yang, and yin and yang are the qi of the five elements. If the gas is uncertain, it will not work. Through the establishment of yin and yang and five elements, the ancients applied them to the four seasons and formulated the method of "five movements and six qi", which is now called "luck". Through its application, it can be predicted that people in a certain period, a certain region and a certain age group will suffer from a certain kind of disease, providing reliable basis for the prevention and treatment of regional or epidemic diseases. The description of the function of human viscera in TCM is called Tibetan image. Its theory is to study the physiological functions, pathological changes and their relationships of various organs and tissues through the observation of human physiological and pathological phenomena, which has universal guiding significance for studying human physiology and pathology and guiding clinical practice. In addition to the viscera, the human body also has strange and constant organs, qi and blood, body fluid and other tissues. They depend on each other, transform and use each other. Meridian is one of its related systems, and the meridian system consists of four parts: meridian, tendon, skin and collateral. Collaterals are branches of meridians, and their trunk is divided into the twelve meridians and Eight Meridians. The "knot, gather, disperse and collateral" of qi in meridians is the final tendon, and the skin is the part where meridians and their collaterals branch on the body surface. The main physiological function of meridians is to communicate exterior and interior, and to contact viscera. Nourish viscera and tissues through qi and blood. Sensory conduction. Adjust the functional balance. Therefore, through the conditioning and stimulation of meridians, the effect of treating diseases and preserving health can also be achieved. Then what is a disease? What causes people to get sick? Etiology generally refers to various reasons that can affect and destroy the relative balance and coordination of yin and yang in human body and lead to diseases, which can be summarized as: 1. Six lewdness. Refers to wind, cold, heat, humidity, dryness and fire. Furuncle gas, that is, epidemic gas, is a highly contagious disease. Three, seven emotions are internal injuries, and seven emotions are "joy, anger, sorrow, fear, love, evil and desire". Excessive injury directly hurts the internal organs and affects the internal organs and qi movement. Fourth, diet and rest hurt the body. Trauma, including boils, falls, burns, frostbite, insect and animal injuries. 6. Stagnation of phlegm and blood stasis. However, various reasons will lead to the pathological status of human body, such as deficiency and excess, imbalance of yin and yang, imbalance of qi and blood, imbalance of body fluid metabolism, endogenous "five evils", deviation of meridians and viscera and so on. For diseases, prevention is the priority. In the process of treatment, we should remember to seek the root and source, strengthen the body resistance and eliminate evil spirits, and adjust the functions of yin and yang, viscera and the relationship between qi and blood. And it should vary from time to time, from place to place and from person to person. Flexible use. save sb's life
