What are the traditional cultural ideas in the processing of traditional Chinese medicine?

Drug processing methods are always in dynamic change, and "knowledge, adaptability and fickleness" meet the needs of personalized treatment; By properly balancing the bias of drugs in processing, the therapeutic intention of the prescription can be realized; Moderation is an important principle that must be grasped in the processing technology, emphasizing that "all drugs are made in moderation, and if they are not enough, the efficacy is hard to find, and if they are too much, the smell will be lost."

"Dao, Fa and Shu" is the method of China's traditional philosophy to understand, grasp and change things, and his traditional philosophical thought has constructed the framework essence of Chinese medicine processing. Yangming believes that the processing of traditional Chinese medicine follows the way of traditional Chinese medicine, skillfully uses the dialectical thought of yin and yang, and adjusts the toxicity, astringency, attack and tonic, warming, ascending and moving of drugs according to clinical needs; Through clinical practice, later generations gradually summed up that the basic legal principle of drug processing should be "processing with the prescription", and formed three processing methods: water processing, fire processing and water-fire processing.

For example, Yang Ming said that the ancients thought that aconite was strong in medicine, unruly and "excessive" in toxicity. If you tame it, build it, and use artillery methods such as "cannon", "burning", "simmering" and "steaming" to make it go too far.
