The basic theory of TCM is a course to explain and introduce the basic theory, knowledge and thinking method of TCM. It is a specialized course of traditional Chinese medicine, covering the basic characteristics, philosophical basis, zang-xiang, meridians, etiology and pathogenesis, treatment principles, etc. The cognitive structure shaped by this course provides the ability of self-organization and assimilation for subsequent courses. However, the teaching object of this course is freshmen, and it is not enough to learn only by their previous thinking mode. Only by speeding up the development of thinking and laying a solid foundation can we learn this course well.

First, promote the development of abstract thinking.

Students who study the basic theory of traditional Chinese medicine for the first time have a vague perception of abstract concepts, because people's thinking before puberty is mainly action thinking and image thinking, while college students who have just entered school are in the early adolescence. However, abstract thinking is an advanced form of thinking, which developed late. Generally, abstract thinking is not developed until youth. After all, there is a certain gap between the basic theory of TCM and the way of thinking of modern people, which is an obstacle to learning the basic theory of TCM. Therefore, we should promote the development of abstract thinking on the basis of new students' original thinking.

1. Accept-cultivate abstract thinking-understand

For a new knowledge, there is an acceptance process. From strangeness to familiarity to mastery, the attitude towards knowledge changes with the deepening of knowledge, and the ability to accept knowledge is also constantly improving. Therefore, for beginners of the basic theory of traditional Chinese medicine, it is advisable to accept its content first, generate perceptual knowledge in their minds, and be familiar with its views and propositions. On this basis, it can promote the cultivation of abstract thinking.

Why should we accept the basic theory of traditional Chinese medicine before promoting the cultivation of abstract thinking? There are two main reasons: first, it is determined by students' acceptance ability. Before entering the College of Traditional Chinese Medicine, students have a general understanding of traditional Chinese medicine and are determined to contribute to the development of traditional Chinese medicine. However, the rational understanding of Chinese medicine is still very vague. Manifested as "gender": ① blindness. Not clear about the content and proposition of TCM theory. 2 passive. Learning objectives are unclear, and thinking has no clear concept. These two factors urge students to cultivate their acceptance ability for a long time. The second is to prepare for the development of abstract thinking. The cultivation of people's advanced thinking needs to accumulate certain theoretical knowledge. With the growth of age and the deepening of study, medical students should not only enrich their existing thinking forms in time and actively, but also pay attention to understanding the concepts of basic theories of traditional Chinese medicine with abstract thinking.

2. The importance of developing abstract thinking

Due to the influence of the environment and the gap in understanding, ancient scholars have different understanding of the essence of things from modern people and constructed a unique concept of traditional Chinese medicine. For example, the definition of "hiding the spirit in the heart" is different from that of modern medicine. Modern medicine clearly recognizes that the brain is the organ of human spirit, thinking and emotion, while Chinese medicine emphasizes the spirit, thinking and emotion of the master of the heart. It can be seen that some concepts of the basic theory of TCM are very abstract. Students should avoid the conflict between existing thinking and abstract thinking in the learning process, and get rid of the shackles of modern concepts on learning basic theories of traditional Chinese medicine when necessary.

3. Abstract thinking highlights "enlightenment"

With the development of abstract thinking, the understanding of knowledge should also rise to a higher level. We should not only master the contents of the book, but also have a kind of "enlightenment". When students analyze the concepts in books with abstract thinking, they will use their own knowledge to understand them, and these knowledge will only be "realized" after they have a deep understanding of knowledge. As the main body of understanding knowledge, students can "realize" some views on the basic theory of traditional Chinese medicine by themselves, which is of great help to learning. For example, when studying the relationship between "disease", "symptom" and "syndrome", we can "experience" the following three conclusions: ① Symptoms are objective manifestations, while syndromes are subjectively induced; ② When symptoms appear, we can judge the corresponding syndromes of a certain disease; ③ Syndrome is a comprehensive summary of pathology. Of course, after a deep understanding of knowledge, you will find that you have a deeper grasp of knowledge than before.

Second, the thinking process.

The basic theory of traditional Chinese medicine emphasizes the overall concept as the basic feature, and demonstrates the etiology and pathogenesis by differentiating the physiological characteristics and pathological manifestations of various zang-fu organs through yin-yang and five elements, in order to seek the principles of "prevention" and "treatment". When studying, students should pay attention to make their own thinking follow a main line, outline and grasp the progression of knowledge, and make what they have learned work for themselves.

1. Summary

When students study the basic theory of traditional Chinese medicine, they often only pay attention to the key content and ignore the subtle knowledge points. If you summarize after each chapter, you can grasp these tiny knowledge points. For example, in the chapter "Multiplication and mutual humiliation of five elements", the multiplication caused by the prosperity of wood is called "Wang Mu borrowing soil". However, in the study of the basic theory of TCM, there are many terms similar to the multiplication and mutual loss of the five elements. At this time, it is necessary to sum up in time. List them one by one and find out the rules to remember.

Of course, the form of induction and summary should be novel and the method clever. Try to avoid copying books for listing. You can make some complicated knowledge points vivid and clear at a glance by listing and drawing.

2. Comparative analysis

Comparison and analysis are the basic processes of thinking. Through comparative analysis, it is easy to analyze the similarities and differences between two similar nouns or terms. In the comparison between "nourishing qi" and "defending qi", "body fluid" and "liquid", "phlegm" and "drinking". By comparing Qi Ying and Wei Qi, we can deepen our memory and deeply understand that Qi Ying and Wei Qi are both parts of Shui Gu transformed from spleen and stomach into Shui Gu qi. The difference is that the former is transformed from the "exquisite obedience" part. The latter is partly transformed from "getting sick and getting rich". Moreover, one is the qi that plays a nutritional role in the pulse, and the other is the qi that plays a defensive role outside the pulse.

Third, lay a solid foundation for thinking mode.

1. Knowledge of classical Chinese.

As we all know, the main period of the formation and development of TCM theory is in ancient times. The thoughts of ancient doctors are mostly handed down in the form of ancient medical books. Students must have some knowledge of classical Chinese when studying. The basic theory of traditional Chinese medicine quotes many incisive expositions of ancient medical works. Without a solid foundation in classical Chinese, you won't understand these arguments.

2. Accumulate famous sentences of famous doctors

The sentences quoted in Basic Theory of Traditional Chinese Medicine are a summary of knowledge, and the analysis of the content often plays a "hit the nail on the head" effect. For example, when I was talking about "the five elements multiply and humiliate each other", I quoted a sentence from Su Wen's Five Movement Theory: "If you are full of gas, you will be self-restrained and invincible in the world; The sentence "Failure is invincible, utilization is victorious, and contempt is defeated" fully explains the reasons for the multiplication and mutual humiliation of the five elements and their relationship. Therefore, students should pay attention to memorizing some famous sentences in medical works, so as to better grasp the contents of basic theories of traditional Chinese medicine.

To learn the basic theory of traditional Chinese medicine well, teachers and students need to constantly explore methods and sum up experience in the process of teaching and learning. In the spirit of pioneering and innovation, inherit the basic theory of traditional Chinese medicine. Only by giving full play to the subjective initiative of learning the basic theory of traditional Chinese medicine and generating strong interest can we master the basic theoretical knowledge comprehensively and deeply.
