Chinese medicine and Western medicine, this topic is very large, not a few sentences will be clear, good thing this is not an examination, what comes to mind to write two sentences it. First of all, I always believe that “time and practice are the standard for testing the truth”, especially time. The theoretical system that has been passed down for thousands of years and still has vitality today must have its value. TCM is not my specialty, but during my long study and work practice, I was gradually attracted to the ubiquitous TCM theories in my life. The core theory of TCM as I understand it is “the unity of man and nature”, that is, man and nature are harmonious and unified, that is, man comes from nature and finally returns to nature. Then there is “balance”, which includes all aspects of balance, such as yin and yang, deficiency and reality, positive and evil, cold and warm, hot and cold, dry and damp, long and short term, hyperactivity and exhaustion, etc. There are internal, internal and external aspects. The treatment of diseases is thus guided by the direction of restoring the lost balance, the theory and practice of which is so profound that it cannot be explained by a Western medical surgeon. Another subtlety of TCM is “treating the disease before it happens”. In my understanding, to restore balance is to cure the disease, while to maintain balance is to cure the disease. Balance is as balanced, calm, peaceful and long-lasting as the horizontal plane. For people, it means a long and healthy life. The secret is to closely observe the changes in the body and intervene before the imbalance occurs, and naturally, each village has its own method, and the result is “twice the result with half the effort”. In fact, Chinese medicine is a theory of health that has been practiced for a long time and has grown up at the same time as Chinese civilization. Before the inflow of Western medicine into China, Chinese medicine was the main theoretical system for guiding the nation’s health care, and was instrumental in maintaining the survival of the Chinese nation for thousands of years. The reason why it has not become mainstream today is due to the elaboration of its own theories and the lack of natural sources of medicine. The articulation and practice of TCM theory is still in the hands of all schools of thought, and the learning and transmission of the disciples of Apricot Grove relies on the understanding of the mind. The difference in their ability to help the world is more than a thousand miles, depending on their level of understanding. Chinese herbs are even more rare. Where to find pure natural wild herbs, precious herbs included in the list of protected is nine out of ten, even though the diagnosis of disease through the gods, the prescription to bring back the dead, but where to catch these herbs. When natural herbs can not meet the needs of people to cure diseases, should also be regarded as an imbalance. Speaking of Western medicine, thanks to the development of modern technology, rapid progress over the past 100 years, indeed solved many problems, such as asepsis, antibiotics, radiological imaging technology, the invention of the microscope, immunology, the development of molecular biology. Modern medicine has naturally advanced along the way, and disease research has advanced at every level. Since disease research has entered the molecular level, the elaboration of its theories has exploded the heads of almost all researchers into pieces. How can you explain the myriad of molecular interactions? How do you regulate the molecules that are invisible to the eye to transmit information according to the envisioned pathways? Man and disease itself is so complex that even if you take a detour to explain it, that detour is one that never comes back. That is why Western medicine is not yet capable of studying the relationship between man and nature, and the “cure for the untreated” that Chinese medicine preaches. We know that matter is infinitely divisible, and there are atoms below molecules, and that massive amounts are no longer enough to describe the data. Are we treating living organisms as individual lives, packaged into a black box, looking only at inputs and outputs. I try to mix some TCM theories in my work and life, and it does work, just like Chairman Mao said, we should take the road of “combining Chinese and Western medicine”, so let’s think about the problem more simply.
