Excuse me, is TCM an empirical science?
Chinese medicine generally refers to the traditional medicine created by the working people of Han nationality in China, so it is also called Chinese medicine. Other traditional medicine in China, such as Tibetan medicine, Mongolian medicine and Miao medicine, is called ethnic medicine.
Traditional Chinese medicine in Japan, Korean medicine in Korea, Korean medicine in North Korea and oriental medicine in Vietnam are all developed on the basis of traditional Chinese medicine. In today's world medical system, Chinese medicine is listed as one of alternative medicine.
Based on the theory of yin-yang and five elements, Chinese medicine regards the human body as the unity of qi, form and spirit. By looking, smelling, asking, palpating and four diagnostic methods, it explores the cause, nature and location of the disease, analyzes the pathogenesis, changes of viscera, meridians, joints, qi, blood and body fluids, judges the rise and fall of evil, and then obtains the name of the disease, induces syndrome types and formulates the principle of syndrome differentiation and treatment. The positive aspect of TCM treatment lies in the hope that it can help restore the balance between yin and yang, and the negative aspect lies in the hope that life and quality of life can be taken into account when drugs must be used to slow down the deterioration of diseases. In addition, the ultimate goal of Chinese medicine is not only to cure diseases, but to help mankind reach the realm of four typical figures: real people, wise men, saints and sages proposed in Huangdi Neijing.
The traditional thinking mode of TCM is incompatible with modern science originating in Europe. However, there are many papers in scientific journals now, and they try to analyze some phenomena and treatment mechanisms of traditional Chinese medicine from the perspective of modern medicine.
