Chinese medicine: backward or advanced?

Modern culture clearly divides the world into two, a material world and a spiritual world. The scope of modern scientific research is mainly limited to the material world, and not much is involved in the spiritual world. Therefore, materialism affirms that matter is the first nature and spirit is the second.

Our ancients had a similar division of the world, with a distinction between the metaphysical and the metaphysical, "The metaphysical is called the Way, and the metaphysical is called the Instrument". (Note: "metaphysical" here is not metaphysics.) So the world is divided into a metaphysical and a metaphysical, a Tao and a vessel.

What is a vessel? A vessel is something that has form and structure, and it is clear that the material world explored by modern science is precisely this metaphysical world of vessels.

What is metaphysical? What is above the tangible is, of course, the intangible. This formless thing is called the Tao.

Is the stuff of the Tao world the spiritual world? Think twice about this question.

Chinese medicine is the study of the unity of the Tao and its tools. Therefore, Laozi or Nei Jing emphasizes the need for the unity of form and spirit, the unity of form and qi, and the need for form and spirit. Chinese medicine is not a study of the unity of the Taoist apparatus, there is too much proof of this, in terms of the five Tibet, in the five Tibet of the heart, liver, spleen, lungs and kidneys, it is not difficult to find that it has a very significant difference, that is, the liver, the kidneys, the spleen, the lungs have a month next to the structure, while the heart does not have this structure.

The radical "moon" is categorized by the Shuowen as "flesh", which is of course a tangible thing. Therefore, the positioning of the liver, kidneys, spleen and lungs was very clear to the ancients, it belongs to the category of "form and down", belonging to the structure of a formative organ. The heart is different, it does not have a "meat" part, it does not have a form, it is a metaphysical thing. The positioning of the heart is not only the positioning of Chinese medicine, but also the positioning of the whole traditional culture.

The localization of the five Tibetans is the localization of the whole Chinese medicine, the localization of the whole traditional culture. We can also recognize from the connection of the five elements, like gold, wood, water and earth are all tangible and qualitative things, all of them go downward, because it has a weight, subject to gravity, and all of them belong to the scope of the vessel. Fire, however, is difficult to describe in terms of form and quality. When you let go of it, it goes upward; does it not have a weight? Is it not subject to gravity? This is the so-called "metaphysical", this is the Tao.

The Chinese medicine only talk about liver, kidney, spleen, lungs can not! It also has to talk about the heart. Therefore, Chinese medicine is a study of both metaphysics and metaphysics. Suwen - Linglan secret canon theory" said: the heart of the ruler of the official, the gods out of it. Another passage in Linglan Mysteries is also worth quoting for your reference: All of these twelve officials shall not be lost. Therefore, if the Lord is clear, the lower part of the body will be at peace, and if the body is nourished in this way, it will live a long life, and its death will not be in danger, and if it thinks the world will be in great prosperity. If the Lord is not clear, then the twelve officials will be in danger, so that the way will be closed and not be able to get through, and the form will be greatly injured, so that if we nourish our lives in this way, we will be in trouble, and if we think that the whole world will be in great danger, then our clan will be in great danger! From the relationship of the five Tibetans, from the relationship of the twelve officials, we can see that traditional Chinese medicine is the unity of the Taoist apparatus, which emphasizes the interdependence of form and qi, and the unity of form and spirit, focusing on the Taoist, the divine side, the qi side. Therefore, she is a study that uses the Tao to control the weapon, the God to control the form, and the metaphysical to control the metaphysical.

Nowadays, most people's understanding of Chinese medicine is from the level of the disease, from the level of the metaphysical to recognize. From this level to recognize Chinese medicine, of course, feel that Chinese medicine is inferior to Western medicine. I often make an analogy, for example, a patient with a heart attack, heart attack occurred, you will send to which hospital? Which hospital would you send him to? Would you send him to a Chinese hospital, or would you send him to a Western hospital? I see 100 people will have 100 people to the Western Hospital, perhaps it is Zhang Zhongjing reincarnation, he will also recommend that you send the Hospital of the University of Medical Sciences, and not sent to the Hospital of the Chinese Academy of Medicine. On the basis of this, the Western medical practitioners all hold their heads high, while the Chinese medicine practitioners all hang their heads in shame, thinking that Chinese medicine is really bad and that they have entered the wrong profession. If we compare them in this way, then Chinese medicine is indeed not good, and we have to bow down to it. However, if we think about it from another angle, I treat this patient, I treat this coronary heart disease, does not occur at all heart attack, or even does not occur at all coronary heart disease, I am to make it not happen, you are after the occurrence of the rescue, how do these two compare? Which one is more beneficial to the society, to the country, to the family, and to the individual patient? I think out of 100 people, there will be 100 people who are in my favor. If we compare them from such a perspective, perhaps we will have confidence. Nowadays, people's perception of Chinese medicine is that it is a "thirst for a well, a bucket for a cone", can this reflect the reality of Chinese medicine? Chinese medicine pay attention to the treatment of the disease, Zhang Zhongjing in the "Golden Chamber Essentials Square" at the beginning of the pointed out that "on the work does not cure the disease treatment of the disease", the starting point of our medical science, its purpose is to treat the disease is not thirsty and wear a well, not fighting and casting cones, but now many people want to be in the ranks of the already sick and Western medicine, to engage in what the Chinese medicine first aid medicine, it is called self-centered, which is called to their own short hit the people reflecting the Chinese medicine of the long. Thirst and penetrate the well, bucket and cast cone, how can you possibly compare with the speed of modern times?

So, this issue above is a very serious problem. Chinese medicine is such a medicine, it is the whole thing is biased towards the metaphysical side, is the metaphysical unity of the form, is to cure the disease to rule the disease. But now we are looking at it from a completely metaphysical perspective, treating it as a completely metaphysical study, a study of treating the already diseased. We advocate scientific research, modernization, and modern Chinese medicine education, which is to use modern science as a "metaphysical" sieve to filter Chinese medicine, and what is filtered through is the "essence" and what can be inherited, and what cannot be filtered through is the "dross", which has to be discarded. Let us think about this: Which part of Chinese medicine is the part that cannot pass through the sieve? It must be the metaphysical part. If we think clearly about the above issues, we will realize that the modern education method we have adopted, the modern TCM education path we have adopted, is only a way to cultivate and create under-workers!

You may not agree with me that this is too radical. However, we need to explain why students trained under this model have little confidence in Chinese medicine. Why is it that when clinicians encounter a little difficulty, they do not try to find a solution in TCM, but rush to western medicine? There are many, many solutions in Chinese medicine, and it is not just a matter of prescribing two doses of medicine. Apart from the objective factors caused by the times, how can we explain the current situation of Chinese medicine? I think there are no more than two reasons, one is that there are problems in education and inheritance; the other is the problems of Chinese medicine practitioners themselves. However, as long as we look back at history and look at these accomplished medical doctors, we will realize that the problem does not lie in Chinese medicine.
