Traditional Chinese medicine diagnostic technology first came from

The traditional diagnostic method of traditional Chinese medicine "looking, smelling, asking and feeling the pulse" was put forward by Bian Que, a famous doctor in the Warring States Period. The sixty-first difficulty in his ancient medical book "Difficult Classics" is: "Looking at what you know is God, smelling what you know is sacred, asking what you know is meritorious, and knowing pulse is surgery." . Look at the color, smell the sound, ask the symptoms and feel the pulse. Bian Que was a doctor in the Warring States Period, whose original name was Qin Yueren. The word "Bian Que" was originally a bird in ancient legends that could relieve people's suffering. Because of Qin Yueren's superb medical skills, people respectfully call him "Bian Que".

Diagnostics of traditional Chinese medicine is the earliest diagnostic theory in the world and the pioneering work of scientific medical behavior, which has had a great influence on all medicine and modern medicine in later generations. The core of TCM diagnostics is Huangdi Neijing, Treatise on Febrile Diseases and Spleen and Stomach Theory, which constitutes a relatively complete set of TCM clinical diagnosis principles, methods and experiences, and is the basic theory for practitioners of TCM to get started.

The basic principle of TCM diagnosis is based on the whole concept and related understanding. Specifically, there are the following three points: extrapolation method, see the micro-knowledge, with constant change. The diagnostic principle of TCM is "the basic science of TCM". Although modern people have never seen the truth, it certainly exists. Because according to modern scientific principles, technology can't appear out of thin air. In fact, the thinking of Lei Gong in editing Huangdi Neijing is the diagnostic principle of traditional Chinese medicine, but these more important basic sciences of traditional Chinese medicine have not spread to the world.

Although Lei Gong's scientific principle of TCM has not been handed down, we can restore the lost scientific principle of TCM based on Huangdi Neijing, combined with the development of TCM diagnosis and treatment technology for thousands of years and referring to modern physiological principles.
