What's the difference between traditional Chinese medicine and traditional Chinese medicine?

Traditional Chinese medicine generally includes clinical medicine, integrated traditional Chinese and western medicine, orthopedics and traumatology, psychology, cosmetology and rehabilitation. That is, the direction is different, and the specific schools are different. Moreover, the academic system of Chinese medicine and Chinese medicine may be different, such as five-year or seven-year system. Generally speaking, Chinese medicine is a basic course for several years, and then the direction is decided.

Traditional Chinese medicine is a medical science that studies human physiology and pathology, disease diagnosis, prevention and rehabilitation. It has a history of thousands of years. Traditional Chinese medicine is a comprehensive science which focuses on the theory and practical experience of traditional Chinese medicine and studies the transformation law of health and disease in human life activities and its prevention, diagnosis, treatment, rehabilitation and health care. Guided by the theory of Yin-Yang and Five Elements, TCM studies the physiological and pathological pharmacology of human body and its relationship with the natural environment from the perspective of dynamic whole, and seeks the most effective methods to prevent and treat diseases.

Any theory, if it does not have the characteristics of the overall concept, is not Chinese medicine in the full sense. If it is not dynamic, then this theory does not fully grasp the true meaning of traditional Chinese medicine. "Holism" and "treatment based on syndrome differentiation" are the basic features of TCM theory, but in the existing TCM, almost no one can reach such a theoretical system that can fully highlight the characteristics of "holism" and "treatment based on syndrome differentiation", which can not only reveal the laws of yin-yang gasification of zang-fu organs, traffic relations and yin-yang gasification of heaven and earth, but also reveal the laws of symptoms and signs of diseases.
