The headline article of "Please recycle and destroy Zhejiang version of Chinese medicine textbooks for primary school students" published by Weibo netizen @ Hippocrates disciple.

This is a disciple of Hippocrates quoted by Zhao Cong. He pointed out four points in his article:

My friend Zhao Cong was attached to this and published the Centennial Debate on Keeping or Abolishing Traditional Chinese Medicine: Abandoning the Contradictory Thought between Chinese and Western Medicine, and Abolishing Medicare is the only way out. I feel very good and rational, and I have added some thoughts to his point of view. There is nothing right or wrong, just a little spray in the long river of theoretical dispute between Chinese and western medicine. It is also a medical white. Medical pharmacology cannot scientifically explain the right and wrong of Chinese and western medicine, but can only express some feelings from the perspective of sociology.

Many of the following concepts are unprofessional, so you don't need to take them seriously, and you don't need to shoot me with bricks.

Zhao Cong's main points are as follows:

People are more likely to believe what they see than what they can't see, so logic and empirical science are often easier to convince others. From this point of view, it seems that Chinese medicine and western medicine are better or worse, and western medicine has a deep recognition among a wider group of people.

Traditional Chinese medicine is not only our traditional Chinese medicine, but also an important carrier of China traditional culture. The accurate definition of western medicine should be modern medicine, because it is the theoretical basis established from the west. In order to distinguish it from Chinese medicine, we are used to defining this medical system as Western medicine.

The dispute between Chinese and Western medicine is not new in recent years. Since it was introduced to China from western countries, their quarrel has never stopped. This is a topic that different people have different opinions. Although there is no standard answer to who is right or wrong, it often hurts feelings.

Xiong Taixing said in Relationship Strategy that if you are in an interest group, you should pursue people's "greatest common denominator" and don't challenge controversial topics. He cited three examples, Chinese medicine, health preservation and rumors. The first two are in the field of traditional Chinese medicine. This kind of topic is easy to lead to war, and it may also bring trouble, and it is doomed to have no ending, and there is no follow-up topic afterwards.

Regarding Chinese medicine, can we get rid of Chinese medicine and only keep Chinese medicine, so as to seek common ground while reserving differences with western medicine and unify the world?

This kind of starting point is very good, but the result is that the pattern has been broken. Many scholars or experts have put forward such an attempt, and it has been bustling for a century, but there is still no result. It is precisely because it is still difficult to understand the theory of traditional Chinese medicine with the thinking of western medicine and really operate it.

Traditional Chinese medicine pays attention to dialectical balance and comprehensive thinking. It is to regard the human body as a whole, not only the human body, but even the universe and human life are a whole. In all kinds of relationships, you have me and I have you.

The theoretical system of TCM stresses qi and blood, yin and yang, five elements, meridians, pulse condition, balance and profit and loss. The abstraction of this relationship and the rigor of western medicine theory seem to be the frequency of two worlds, which are unrelated to each other.

Using the theoretical system of western medicine to understand the theoretical system of Chinese medicine is not only incredible, but also full of loopholes. It looks mysterious and mysterious, abstract and macroscopic.

It is even more embarrassing and obscure to familiarize the general public with the medical theory of traditional Chinese medicine.

Perhaps Chinese medicine is difficult to be accepted by the industry. In addition to the above reasons, there are many differences in specifications. Even a family of the same strain cannot unify the views of every expert with a unified textbook.

The essence of TCM is to treat diseases through experience. This kind of experience is intuition, which sounds very contrary to the scientific spirit. It is just a little idealized spiritual communication, which is the interaction and full integration between doctors and patients.

Listening to Wu Zhihong's psychology recently is a bit like Chinese medicine. It is effective in time, but it cannot be explained by modern science.

Of course, this theory has long been vividly interpreted by Confucian culture. That's what Taoism says: Tao can be extraordinary, the export can be broken, and the heart can be destroyed. Theoretical inheritance is a workshop-style relationship between master and apprentice, the secret of which is oral communication, and the beauty is that it can only be understood but not expressed.

Chinese medicine believes that your illness is only the external manifestation of the body, not the internal cause of the disease, but the imbalance of qi and blood in the body. All diseases are the warning of life, just as eye diseases are the cause of liver, and so on. There are many complicated reasons behind a simple dizziness, which may be the deficiency of both qi and blood, or it may be the cause of a strong internal fire. It seems that the symptoms are the same, but the essence is often quite different.

Therefore, seeing a doctor in Chinese medicine is not the phase of the disease, but the quality after the phase. In other words, we can infer the imbalance in all aspects of the body from the information displayed by the disease, and sometimes we can even find the imbalance between the body and the environment.

Medicine is just an introduction to ease, dredge or stimulate these relationships. Through these stimuli, the self-consistency of human function is stimulated, and then the self-consistency of functional system naturally stimulates the vitality of human body, and the signals of those diseases are naturally eliminated.

Drugs are only one aspect of regulating human functions. In Chinese medicine, medicine is not the best. The oldest medicine is acupuncture medicine, and the importance of medicine ranks only fourth. Why does the ranking of Chinese medicine seem to be higher than the top three now? That is, the ethics of modern society has been broken, and the interest mechanism has destroyed the medical ethics of Chinese medicine. Although the first three are important and do not make money, the latter is almost ineffective and has a lot of interest space.

Some people lamented that Chinese medicine died of medicine, saying why the current Chinese medicine is not ideal, because Chinese medicine is not driven by interests, and it is picked, planted, processed and leached by traditional methods. These procedures are not standardized, which makes Chinese medicine sexualized.

Perhaps this understanding is more scientific, because Chinese medicine died of virtue.

004

Now I probably understand the relationship between Chinese medicine and Chinese medicine. In traditional Chinese medicine, medicine is only an aid. What really heals the body is the regulation of life itself, not the single function of traditional Chinese medicine. Therefore, when we look at the prescriptions prescribed by old Chinese medicine practitioners, sometimes one medicine can cure many diseases, and sometimes many medicines can only cure one disease. This is entirely the need for Chinese medicine practitioners to see the patient's physical balance after hearing and asking questions.

As the saying goes, a flower is a world, and a leaf is a bodhi. To some extent, without the theory of TCM, maybe TCM is worthless.

The role of Chinese medicine is not to understand the chemical composition of western medicine at all, but under the current circumstances, the interaction between drugs and body functions is pharmacological, emotional and vital, and there is the supernatural power that Chinese medicine can't explain clearly about Ming Dow.

Therefore, placebo is a common medical force in Chinese medicine. The double-blind test itself violates the theoretical basis of traditional Chinese medicine. If the traditional Chinese medicine screened according to this standard is completely reduced to the chemical formula level of western medicine, strictly speaking, it is not traditional Chinese medicine, but a variant of western medicine.

Modern medicine, that is, western medicine, can be said to have completely defeated Chinese medicine in the fields of conquering bacteria, viruses and surgery, which is also an important reason for the decline of Chinese medicine. All theories of western medicine are derived from anatomy. Western Renye Fang pays attention to logic and demonstration. As long as it is illogical and cannot be verified intuitively, it is unscientific.

However, this theory of western medicine is also unsatisfactory, that is, the human body is completely regarded as a machine, and the diseased part of a person is a part of the machine. If it is broken, I will repair it and replace it, regardless of its connection with other parts, even if it is physical. The so-called spiritual connection emphasized by traditional Chinese medicine must be sneered at by western medicine.

Nowadays, western medicine surgery is really brilliant, and many organs have been directly replaced, which reminds me of the plugging and unplugging of computer hardware. Does this plug-and-play logic pay more attention to the hardware in the sense of life, but it often ignores that life is like a computer. Most of its function is that the software of consciousness decides everything.

After all, there are many incurable diseases that western medicine can't do in areas we don't know about Chinese medicine, but Chinese medicine can often make it appear out of thin air and make great achievements again and again. Unfortunately, the theoretical basis of TCM medical proof is that every case, like each of us, is unique in this world, because everyone has his own small universe. Although a case has the same symptoms, the cause and effect in the living environment are essentially different. These are too abstract to be explained by Chinese medicine, and there is no possibility of large-scale replication, which is also the sorrow of Chinese medicine inheritance.

006

Western medicine is an organic part based on our flesh and blood. Traditional Chinese medicine is the unity of human life, spirit and body in a higher dimension.

This has risen to the philosophical level, and TCM treatment of diseases is more of this philosophical thinking. If it rises to the philosophical level, it will not be solved by ordinary people.

After all, super brain, a human being, has verified the primacy of matter in this field for thousands of years. Consciousness first? We really didn't see who would win. Perhaps the only thing we ordinary people can do is to fear life, which is also a helpless choice.

Since it exists, it is reasonable and does not waste China and the West. As Fitzgerald said, the criterion for evaluating first-class intelligence is the coexistence of two opposing views in your mind and your ability to act normally.
