How to view TCM and Western medicine

Nowadays, many people are commenting on Chinese medicine and Western medicine, some people think that Chinese medicine is good and some people think that Western medicine is good. My personal opinion is that both Chinese medicine and Western medicine belong to different systems in the field of medicine, and they have differences and connections. The difference is that Chinese medicine and Western medicine understand disease from different perspectives; the connection is that both are summaries of the knowledge and skills accumulated by human beings in their struggle with disease. Due to the different perspectives of Chinese medicine and Western medicine, the methods used by the two in the prevention and treatment of disease will be different. In life, we all have this experience, standing in a different perspective on the same problem, the observed and recognized differently, there are some problems can not see clearly in this way, a different perspective will be very clear. Therefore, I think that doctors may want to look at several points from multiple angles, so that the understanding of the disease will be more comprehensive, not like a blind man feeling an elephant. In addition, different diseases should be dealt with in different ways, that is, specific problems should be analyzed. For example, if we go by airplane within 10 steps, it will be a joke, and if we go by airplane 2,000 kilometers away, it will be very appropriate. Because of the above reasons, it is recommended that we do not believe in the panacea for all diseases, and do not believe in Chinese medicine and Western medicine which science which is not scientific and other meaningless statements. My personal view is that Chinese medicine and Western medicine, each has its own point of view, each has its own method, each has its own strengths, each has its own weaknesses, the two complement each other, although the temporary differences are great, but should be mutually inclusive, as people continue to deepen their understanding of disease, epistemology and methodology of continuous research, scientific knowledge and technical methods of continuous progress, one day Chinese medicine and Western medicine will be the same way.
