Traditional Chinese medicine is a metaphysical analysis of the causes and solutions of diseases, which is a holistic view. It looked at the elephant, and all the other mountains looked small under the sky. From the point of view of birds, it is a common way to deal with it, because Tao is a universally applicable law.
Western medicine treats physical diseases, just like looking at elephants from the perspective of fleas. The elephant you saw is right, just the tip of the iceberg. All western medicine departments need to be merged to get a complete elephant. Without a unified holistic view, it is often easy to cure diseases in one place and cause problems in another. Constantly circulating, because it destroys the most perfect human autoimmune system in the world. Therefore, western medicine can cure diseases quickly and effectively, but it is very tiring and soon there are new problems. Only Chinese medicine can solve the problem systematically, which is the scientific method to restore the human immune system.
Therefore, Chinese medicine is "Tao" and western medicine is "surgery". Scientific theory only represents the highest cognition that human beings can reach at present, which shows that the medical theory of traditional Chinese medicine is far higher than the current cognition of human beings, so it is natural that science cannot explain traditional Chinese medicine.
With the continuous development of western medicine, it is increasingly proved that Chinese medicine is right!
Isn't it a scientific theory to be so skeptical about Chinese medicine and so many famous works of Chinese medicine? Not only theoretical science, but also profound! Most people don't understand.
The problem itself has ulterior motives, and the subtext is that Chinese medicine has no scientific theory.
People who ask this question, on the one hand, don't know what science is, and on the other hand, they don't know Chinese medicine at all.
There are numerous medical classics in China, and Chinese civilization has been treating diseases and preventing diseases according to the theory of traditional Chinese medicine for thousands of years. Thousands of years after the birth of TCM theory, some descendants in this land began to slander or attack TCM theory with various purposes or prejudices.
A question itself can reflect the values of the questioner. I never wonder how much ignorance and prejudice there are in this world, because there must be ignorance and prejudice in this world, and only ignorance and prejudice can better reflect the brilliance of truth.
To really discuss the theory of traditional Chinese medicine, we must first read and study the theories of sages such as Huangdi Neijing, and then those who are willing to think will find that the depth and wisdom of these theories can not be described and summarized by the word "science" invented for hundreds of years.
The following is an excerpt from the original text of the ancient naive theory in Huangdi Neijing:
Once upon a time, among the Yellow Emperor, he was born as a god, weak and eloquent, young and unbiased, long and sensitive, and achieved great success. I asked Shi Tian: I heard that ancient people were 100 years old in the Spring and Autumn Period, but their mobility did not decrease;
Today's people, half a century later, have failed in sports. Times are different and people will lose.
The ancients mentioned here can live for a hundred years without losing exercise. Compared with our common sense, the average life expectancy of ancient people is shorter than that of modern people. How do you understand the life expectancy of ancient people? Don't interpret it with myths and legends. Many so-called legends in human civilization are just myths and legends that modern people can't understand. Just like we don't understand many profound parts of TCM theory. People always regard what they don't understand as unscientific rhetoric, which just reflects their ignorance.
Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) refers to the traditional medicine in China, and it is a subject that studies the diagnosis and prevention of human physiology, pathology and diseases. It bears the experience and theoretical knowledge of ancient Chinese people in fighting diseases, and is a medical theoretical system gradually formed and developed through long-term medical practice under the guidance of ancient naive materialism and spontaneous dialectical thinking. In the research method, it is based on the similarity of holistic view, the physiology and pathology of zang-fu organs and meridians, and the treatment based on syndrome differentiation, with simple system theory, cybernetics, fractal theory and information theory. Based on the theory of yin-yang and five elements, Chinese medicine regards the human body as the unity of qi, form and spirit. It explores the cause, nature and location of the disease by looking, smelling, asking, palpating and four diagnostic methods, analyzes the changes of pathogenesis, viscera, meridians, joints, qi and blood and body fluid, judges the rise and fall of evil, and then obtains the name of the disease, induces syndrome types and formulates the principles of syndrome differentiation and treatment. The positive aspect of TCM treatment lies in the hope that it can help restore the balance between Yin and Yang, and the negative aspect lies in the hope that the quality of life can be taken into account when drugs must be used to slow down the deterioration of the disease.
This question is not easy to answer. The problem lies in the way of asking questions:
1. Traditional Chinese medicine is not a science, so we can't judge it by whether it has scientific basis.
2. Chinese medicine is not a science, so what is it? Answer in a word: Chinese medicine is evidence-based medicine based on iconology.
3. What is iconology? Xiang Xue is Chairman Mao's "seeing the essence through the phenomenon" or Lao Zi's "returning to simplicity".
4. Image and science are two effective ways for human beings to explore truth, and they have the same framework: image → number → reason.
5. Figures in iconology are mathematical (systematic), such as 0→ infinity, 1→ Taiji, 2→ Yin and Yang, 5→ Five Elements, 8→ Eight Diagrams. ...
6. Scientific numbers are mathematics, such as φ = 0.6 18 (golden ratio),-1+ 1 ≡ 0 (identity). ...
7. Beyond the framework of "image → number → reason", science emphasizes repeatability and verifiability, but iconology mainly relies on experience at present.
The ancient Taiji civilization in China has a long history. One day it can be seamlessly connected with modern science, and the further study of images can be strictly verified. Therefore, the modernization of traditional Chinese medicine still has a long way to go and a long way to go.
Lao Tzu said: goodness is like water ... so it is a matter of Tao.
The first answer is yes.
There are TCM theories such as Synopsis of the Golden Chamber and Treatise on Febrile Diseases. Stop arguing. Memoirs of Therapeutic Experience and Records of Classical Prescription Experiments are typical personal works. "Selected Cases of Famous Doctors in Synopsis of the Golden Chamber" and "Selected Cases of Famous Doctors in Typhoid Diseases" are all evidences.

There are too many unscientific contents, so there is a hundred-year dispute over the preservation or abolition of Chinese medicine. They are all excellent. Who dares abandon them?
Many people who have the qualification certificate of Chinese medicine just dare not be clinical, or the effect is not good, that is, they have not mastered the real theory of Chinese medicine.
Traditional Chinese medicine is a stone with a rough surface and fine jade inside.
Traditional Chinese medicine is a combination of medicine and medical technology, which is both science and technology.
The scientific theory of traditional Chinese medicine includes:
1, meridian theory, which is called acupoints by Chinese medicine, is a course for Chinese medicine majors, which lasts for 32 or 64 class hours.
2. viscera theory and qi and blood theory
3. Pulse diagnosis
4. Health-preserving pathological theory: preventing diseases.
5. Pharmacological theory
Although there are some ambiguities and fallacies, long-term practice has proved that Chinese medicine is a profound scientific system, but it needs further development and perfection. Isn't the modern scientific system developed by constantly correcting fallacies? /kloc-In the 7th century, Newton and Hooke argued with each other about the particle theory and wave theory of light, which became a historical feud. In the19th century, most physicists believed that Newtonian mechanics was almost an absolute truth. However, history has proved that these great scientists all fell into the well.
Science will never be an absolute truth, it is a gradual approach to the infinite unknown. Only those who explore the unknown will feel ignorant, and those who learn knowledge will feel knowledgeable. Whether creating knowledge or learning knowledge, there will inevitably be blindness. Therefore, we should maintain a sense of awe in dealing with the unknown, so as to maintain the spirit of inquiry and judge the unknown by the known, which is inevitable for the blind to touch the elephant.
Traditional Chinese medicine can treat diseases that are difficult to be treated by western medicine, but it also has its shortcomings. Chinese and western medicine are equal, and each has its own advantages. This is caused by their different research methods. The research method of western medicine is white box method, which is an empirical method based on linear logic and a drilling inquiry mode. It is a linear causal theory, and it is inevitable to treat only headaches. Traditional Chinese medicine uses black box method, intuitive chaotic thinking and overall dialectical thinking, which western medicine can't do. Modern science has not clearly revealed the mechanism of qigong. The essence of TCM lies in its thoughts and methods, which are combined with modern science, black box and white box, fuzziness and accuracy, logic and intuition. Traditional Chinese medicine can create more achievements than western medicine.
Not to mention whether Chinese medicine has a theory that conforms to the objective reality, just ask, is science completely correct and has it reached its peak since its birth? Obviously not. The so-called science in people's mouth is only the staged achievement of human understanding of the objective world, so there is no reason for the so-called science at this stage to put Chinese medicine under its weight. Maybe Chinese medicine is much higher than modern science.
Of course, this is a practical science.
One word: yes. Two words: more. Four words: everywhere. This yellow flower is a Chinese herbal medicine. The theory of traditional Chinese medicine is extensive and profound, and everyone in the world has it.
