China's traditional Chinese medicine why the decline of so fast?

1. really good Chinese medicine is very hard work, the requirements of Chinese medicine is profound, and Chinese culture has a long history, many people, including many doctors of Chinese medicine more than half-knowledge, less proficient. To be honest, Chinese medicine is not everyone through a certain amount of learning to master.

2. Western medicine, generally through the systematic study of the chapter to follow. There are indicators, departments, specialties, can be quantified, Chinese medicine, the whole, not divided into departments, can not be quantified, there are many variations. A disease of different Chinese medicine practitioners to prescribe different prescriptions. Western medicine is not, a disease of the treatment approach convergence. In a word, Chinese medicine is difficult to master!

3. Traditional Chinese medicine and Western medicine on the description of the human body system has a big difference, Western medicine will be divided into organs, and some of the organs related to the composition of the system, such as the circulatory system, digestive system, respiratory system, motor system, endocrine system, reproductive system, the immune system and other seven major systems. There is not much correlation between the systems, nor is there much connection between the organs, as if each organ or system is independent.

The Chinese medicine is completely different, the big classification only five viscera and six bowels, each viscera has a related meridian. In addition to the eleven meridians corresponding to the five viscera and six bowels, there are three other meridians, the pericardium meridian, the Ren vein and the ducal vein, a **** is fourteen major meridians. Each meridian also has branches, called meridians, almost all over the body. There are acupuncture points on each meridian, and acupuncture treatments mainly stimulate the points on the meridians.

In addition to the close relationship between individual organs and their corresponding meridians, there is also a very close relationship between the organs, which is summarized in the theory of five elements. The five elements theory not only explains the relationship between the internal organs, but also explains the relationship between the internal organs and climate change very thoroughly and rationally. Comparing the descriptions of the human body system in Chinese and Western medicine, it can be seen that Chinese medicine is the accumulated wisdom of thousands of years of human experience, and there is a more reasonable and prudent logic and structure, and therefore can be used for thousands of years. In the TCM view, the human body is one, and the five organs and six viscera are closely related to each other and are in balance. At the same time, in addition to the hard body mentioned in anatomy, Chinese medicine has many conceptual or functional systems, such as the energy system, resource management system, etc. These systems are not as well organized as they used to be due to the lack of technological capabilities. In the past, when technology was not sufficient and there were no instruments to measure these systems, due to the lack of numerical concepts, medical books could only use a variety of words to describe these systems. For example, the energy system was described in terms of yin, yang, emptiness, solidity, blood, qi, and fire; the resource management system was described in terms of phases, equilibrium, and other ways. Because these descriptions are so different from the precise, data-driven terminology of modern science, they make the whole of Chinese medicine seem very much like incomprehensible metaphysics.

4. The progress of modern science, and modern Chinese medicine did not absorb these advanced things to utilize, but also stayed in the old ancestors of those levels. The reason is that there are fewer proficient Chinese medicine, and proficient Chinese medicine has a modern medical vision of less.

5. Modern people are often in the pursuit of improving the material aspects of life, policy and the modern market economy so that Chinese medicine has not been carried forward, more and more because of the economic reasons for other schools.

6. People's medical concept of misunderstanding. Now the hospital, especially the Western hospitals in fact can not really cure the disease, there is a conscientious Western doctors have a saying, "many diseases in fact, modern treatment, just control, alleviate the symptoms only" and it is the Western control of the symptoms of the modern people feel that this is a shortcut, but do not know that it is the hemlock to quench their thirst.

7. Western medicine is concerned about the fruit, Chinese medicine to pursue the cause. Many people, when they hear a physician announce that they have a serious illness, often show a look of innocence, hoping to cut, cut, poison, kill and other external ways to remove the disease, however, the disease really can not be produced for no reason? There is absolutely no such thing in the world as "getting sick all of a sudden when you are fine. Take a cold as an example, if a patient is really asked to do self-reflection, usually the patient will say that he or she has stayed up all night for several times before catching a cold; some will say that he or she has been exposed to cold winds and rain recently; some will say that they have been under great pressure at work, and they often suffer from headaches and insomnia. In fact, such phenomena are all factors that lead to colds. In other words, if the patient's sensitivity and alertness are sufficient, he or she will naturally be able to achieve the goal of "preventing colds before they happen".

8. In the case of Western medicine is more and more helpless, Chinese medicine more and more will show its overall advantage, the advantage of identification, the advantage of the middle conditioning. Although the Chinese medicine has not yet been great, but it will certainly have its time to shine.

More can be discussed ah.
