But now many people think that the theory that Chinese medicine pays attention to yin and yang is superstition. Moreover, the meridian joints often mentioned in Chinese medicine are like the plots in Jin Yong's martial arts novels. With the popularization of western precision instruments, the "looking, smelling, asking and cutting" of Chinese medicine is very pale. But Chinese medicine can continue to this day, which shows that it has certain curative effect.
Many famous pharmaceutical works emerged in ancient China. For example, there are many famous doctors in Huangdi Neijing and Compendium of Materia Medica. For example, Hua Tuo and Zhang Zhongjing, who are now well-known, invented anesthetic powder, which can be used for surgery, and also invented the "Five Birds Play" to keep fit; There is also a slightly mythical story, Shennong Taste a Hundred Herbs, which has made an indelible contribution to enriching the theory of traditional Chinese medicine. Under the guidance of these theories, the ancients have been able to solve some common diseases.
Moreover, there were not so many incurable diseases in ancient times, and some of them were incurable. With the development of modernization, many modern diseases have appeared, which are more difficult and less controllable, and the treatment methods of western medicine are often more effective. Traditional Chinese medicine is partial to conditioning, and pays attention to a slow process, which can at most relieve symptoms and treat symptoms rather than root causes. Western medicine emphasizes radical cure and excision of "cancer". The procrastination therapy of ancient Chinese medicine was enough for the ancients to die.
