Problem description:

Can you compare Chinese medicine and western medicine in detail?

Analysis:

I don't have the ability to compare in detail. Let me briefly talk about my personal opinion.

(1) The object of TCM treatment is people _ _ _ _ The goal of TCM is to cure diseases and save lives.

The object of western medicine treatment is the disease _ _ _ _ The goal of western medicine is to cure the disease.

(2) Chinese medicine emphasizes the uniqueness of individuals. Different patients must take different treatment measures and different drugs because of their different physical conditions, even if they suffer from roughly the same disease.

Western medicine emphasizes the universality of the disease _ _ different patients with the same disease should be the same in treatment and medication (the difference is minimal).

(3) Traditional Chinese medicine emphasizes the unity of man and nature. The same disease will have different treatment methods in different seasons, different ages and different regions.

Western medicine emphasizes the standard of diseases, besides diseases, there are also factors such as human body.

(4) Chinese medicine starts from the big picture: heaven, earth and people.

Western medicine starts from the micro: atoms, molecules, elements, cells, tissues, organs and human bodies.

Personally, I think Chinese and western medicine have their own advantages. The two complement each other, and if they can coordinate with each other, they will make greater contributions to human health.

However, due to the different philosophical cognition at that time, it was not easy or even impossible to combine traditional Chinese and western medicine.
