What is the development process of traditional medicine in China?

China traditional medicine is a wonderful flower rooted in the cultural soil of China. She accompanied the Chinese nation from the wild era to civilization and made great contributions to the prosperity of the nation. With the development of human society and the highly developed science and technology, traditional Chinese medicine, the flower of national culture, has not faded at all. On the contrary, it reflects gorgeous brilliance under the background of modern civilization, which is favored by all nationalities in the world and has become an important part of world medicine.

In the long social process, human beings have been fighting against diseases and gained rich experience. From the legendary Shennong who tasted a hundred herbs as medicine to the superb medical skills of famous doctors Bian Que and Hua Tuo, the establishment and development of medicine and pharmacy in China are advancing with the times. The development of medicine was closely related to the production and life at that time. There is an article in Huangdi Neijing called On Different Prescriptions, which holds that different treatments of traditional Chinese medicine come from different regions and are formed because of different geographical environments. For example, the east is near the sea, where there are more fish and more salt. Because eating fish often makes people "hot" and salt "wins blood", residents here are prone to diseases such as carbuncle and need to be treated with bianshi, so bianshi is produced in the East. The cold wind in the west is cold and dry, and the soil and water are abundant, because the residents here often eat meat. Although diseases can't harm the body, they are easy to produce diseases from the body and need to be treated with "poison", so the method of "poison" treatment originated in the west; The south is hot and humid, and residents here often eat sour food, which is prone to paralysis and other diseases and needs to be treated with "micro-needle", so the "micro-needle" acupuncture method originated in the south; The weather in the north is cold and snowy, and the local residents are "riddled with diseases due to refrigeration", so the treatment method of "moxibustion and roasting" originated in the north. The central area is located in the plain, rich in products and omnivorous people. Therefore, flaccidity, syncope, cold and heat diseases often occur, and massage treatment is needed. Therefore, a guided massage is generated in the central area. These expressions in Huangdi Neijing show that the emergence of medical methods is closely related to the production and life at that time, which was produced by the ancients in the practice of fighting diseases.
