Is Chinese traditional culture science?

It is true that the Five Elements Theory is an important traditional culture in our country, and it is also true that science is a cultural theory developed in recent hundreds of years. But why must we use scientific methods to explain the Five Elements Theory?

The Chinese Five Elements Theory emphasizes the mutual production and union of Yin and Yang, which are all derived from the evolution of chaos and Tai Chi Yin and Yang fish. Let’s not mention other aspects for the time being, let’s talk about the theory of traditional Chinese medicine.

Many theories cannot be explained by science, such as Angong Niuhuang Pills, Yunnan Baiyao, Pien Tze Huang, etc. These medicines are all created based on the theories of Yin and Yang and the Five Elements theory.

Maybe today’s science can also analyze and study these drugs, but so what?

You must know that some of our ancestors in ancient my country, when they developed these prescriptions, applied them according to the symptoms of the patients. They did not understand science, and they certainly did not refer to any scientific principles or principles when creating the prescriptions.

Moreover, Chinese medicine is an empirical discipline that relies on accumulated experience over time to treat people's diseases. Although this is somewhat similar to scientific practice, it is still the same saying that the theory of the five elements came first, and then there was scientific research.

It is incorrect to use science to verify the five elements.

On the other hand, it is also incorrect to use the five elements to discuss science.

This is like standing on land and thinking the land is flat, and standing in space thinking the earth is round, but in fact?

The earth is neither flat nor round.

Many people often say that this has no scientific basis, and that has no scientific basis, and then quote a lot of scriptures in order to prove that these things are unscientific.
