The philosophical foundation of traditional Chinese medicine
Traditional Chinese medicine has a deep ideological origin, its production and development is in a period of relative lag in the level of science and technology, and various ancient thoughts on the formation of TCM theory has a huge impact.
China's agricultural economy is the main, people are the sunrise and the sunset and sleep.With the change of time and the change of seasons, people gradually found a kind of farming rule. At the same time, they observed the changes of stars in the universe and the changes of the surrounding environment and climate, and produced the calendar.When a flood or drought is too much to face, the ancient witches and wizards were the first doctors.Can drive away evil spirits, cure diseases and heal wounds.And Confucianism.The thoughts of Confucianism, Taoism and zhouyi had a profound impact on the theory of TCM.
The Chinese established a system for treating diseases, with little use of scalpels or instruments to examine the body.But can by hand joints pulse shape, the rhythm of the beat, and the strength of the beating, observe the patient's face, asking the feeling of patients, the onset of reason, observation patient's tongue moss color and tongue itself above the shape, state, and to smell the smell of the patients judge speculated that a person's disease, and so on.
It may sound miraculous or ridiculous, but traditional medicine has been able to find some modern instruments that do not recognize a state of disease and can adjust for this bad state.Just like some nervous system problems, the instrument test shows that there is no problem, but the patient may feel uncomfortable, or some seemingly insignificant problems, from the perspective of Chinese pain medicine are closely related to the internal organs of the body.At the same time, TCM also believes that people live because of the existence of qi in the body, qi scattered the life of the person is not.
All this shows that TCM is a huge system, with the meridian theory, acupuncture theory, and the ability to see the trend of disease onset or to roughly predict the time of disease onset without the aid of instruments, just by observation.Because every surface of the skin corresponds to a different internal organ function.But here the organs of traditional medicine have functional features, and modern anatomy of the organs are not the same concept.
Some advantages of traditional Chinese medicine still exist, such as the recuperation of the body, which is closely related to traditional Chinese kung fu and qigong.At the same time, the treatment of infectious diseases also has a considerable effect.And it has a profound effect on the long-term planning of the whole life health state.
