I'm Five Colors of Earth chatting about history, and I'll answer:

To be able to learn Chinese medicine, you need to have the following conditions:



For one thing, you have to be highly enlightened, sensitive and dignified, the kind of person whose heart is in the right place.

Secondly, you are a descendant of a family of Chinese medicine practitioners, or you have this learning environment by ear.

Thirdly, there should be virtue, benevolence, and compassion, which is often said to be the heart of a healer's parents.



Fourthly, you should have a humble and humble heart, worship a kindred spirit, walk ten thousand miles and read ten thousand books.

Fifth, you love Chinese medicine from the bottom of your heart, and you feel that relieving patients from their illnesses will bring great satisfaction to your heart.

Sixth, you should have a deep cultural background, a solid literary background, and be well read.

You have the foundation to learn Chinese medicine if you have the above conditions.



Huang Yuanwu, a famous doctor in the Qing Dynasty, was not from a medical family, he became a master of his generation through self-study and worship of famous masters. He was the imperial physician of Emperor Qianlong, and had authored "13 kinds of writings of Huang Yuanwu," "Four Sacred Sources of the Heart," "Moral Suspension of Explanation," and "Suspension of the Image of Zhouyi," etc., and the Qianlong master had personally written "Pungtungia herzi (species of cyprinid)"to commend him for his learning, with "Rendezvous Pharmaceuticals"sums up the character of his life, and it's foreign name is "Yellow Medicine Master, character in folk tales tales", with Jin Yong's Huang Yakshi, I don't know if it's a coincidence or not, maybe the old Mr. Jin Yong also admired Huang Yuan Yi!!!!

I'm Five Color Clay Talking History, welcome!!!!

Hello, I am a Chinese medicine practitioner, Two Sheep. As a clinical Chinese doctor born in TCM program, let me share a little bit of my experience.

Point 1: Specializing in Chinese medicine does not necessarily mean learning Chinese medicine well

A Chinese medicine university inside the Chinese medicine program, we all know that the curriculum has a basic Chinese medicine, basic Western medicine, and English and so on other courses.

Students who major in Chinese medicine tend to do well in all subjects, so their test scores are very nice, and many of them even get scholarships and so on.

Based on my experience, I found that when I was in school, most of the people who did well in Chinese medicine were girls; after all, girls are better than boys at memorizing and reciting knowledge and are prone to hard work.

But down in the clinic it's different, there are really very few girls who can be very comparatively like Chinese medicine, which I think is, I guess, why there are still few Chinese medicine people in history who are women.

I don't mean to discriminate against female girls in any way, but in general there are fewer women around me who like TCM and use it well compared to men.

Learning how to take a good test in each course of the Chinese medicine program does not mean that Chinese medicine is very good.

The second point is that good knowledge of Chinese medicine does not mean good clinical practice of Chinese medicine. We all know that learning Chinese medicine requires memorizing a great deal of knowledge, as well as medicines, prescriptions, etc. These basic knowledge is also necessary, but there is a drawback to learning this knowledge well.

Once in the clinic will find that the Chinese medicine clinic is very flexible and need to adapt, some of the knowledge taught in the books, this time some of them have become dead things. On the contrary, it has become the rules and regulations.

The third point is that Chinese medicine clinics are outside the classroom, and I think that if you want to learn this specialty well, you are not just limited to textbooks, or memorizing books and taking tests.

When I was in school, I was not a good student, and I read a lot of extracurricular books, or more Chinese medicine extracurricular books. When I went down to the clinic, I felt that the extracurricular books I used to read were more helpful to me.

Finally, learning Chinese medicine well really takes a lot of effort and time, that I am now under the clinical also found that when I went to school memorized square songs, songs, familiar with the classic provisions, very useful to me.

Some of the Chinese medicine students behind us, or our mentors and siblings are working harder on this aspect of the foundation. Of course, Chinese medicine is not a life-long study, the book is not finished, the road behind is still long. If you are sure that you really like Chinese medicine, then make up your mind to learn it.

If you don't like it and aren't interested, you can switch to something else before it's too late.

I am a TCM II, and TCM to me is a hobby, a way of life, and an attitude.

First, the most important thing is the demand and interest. The need for Chinese medicine is due to the fact that one's own or one's family members' infirmity and sickness have not been cured for a long time, and one has witnessed the therapeutic effect of Chinese medicine and become interested. Only when there is a need and interest can one voluntarily put in a lot of energy to learn.

Second, the medical school of Chinese medicine, learning content, to focus on the memory of basic knowledge, meridian points, prescription Chinese medicine, classic provisions. To lay the foundation for the future clinical also for the licensed physician qualification examination preparation.

Third, set up long-term goals. Learning Chinese medicine is difficult, knowledge books, knowledge books, their own understanding, enlightenment limitations, external interference questioning the temptation. Only to establish a lifelong learning Chinese medicine, in order not to be disturbed by the immediate short-term problems.

Fourth, independent thinking. Now is the easiest time to learn Chinese medicine. In the old days, "Jiangnan teachers secret zhongjing formula and not pass", now online all kinds of Chinese medicine master's insights can be accessed to learn. As long as you want, you insist, nothing can stop you.

Fifth, get started as soon as possible. Chinese medicine is for the treatment of disease to save lives, poor clinical results is not started. Early entry to have the opportunity to enter the profession.

How is it another similar question.

I'll show you the way. Let you find the way.



That's such a hard question to answer!

Let's start with two questions.

1. To say that learning is "good", what is the standard of good, and with whom to compare?

Compare it with Magpie and Hua Tuo, or with theZhang Zhongjing,Is Li Shizhen and Huang Pu-qui comparable, or is Shi Jinmo and Zhang Xichun the standard, or is the graduation of today's doctoral degree in Chinese medicine the standard? Or is it standardized by researching an effective generic formula for treating a certain disease? For example, treating a certain rare disease. I am able to cure common type of gray hair now, and I can keep people of the brunette race from growing common type of gray hair for the rest of their lives.

2. Are you attending an undergraduate program in Chinese medicine, or are you studying as an amateur?

Here's my opinion.

1, first of all, the simplest: amateur self-study. In today's medical legal system, there is no licensed physician qualification, you can not practice medicine; in today's white-hot conflict between doctors and patients in society, not move to blackmail you tens of thousands of dollars, or even millions of dollars, even if you learn through self-study, has been the contents of the ancient medical books word for word, backward and forward, well versed, learned five cars, dare to give anyone to see a doctor, the first to buckle a hat of the illegal practice of medicine, what is all over. You learn, only for their own use, for the family with, and Chinese medicine is experience medicine, without a lot of clinical practice, want to hand back to the spring, hand to the sick, can only be a dream! Now just started trial implementation of Chinese medicine "expertise" operation, but also can only be limited to a certain aspect, in that case, the crowd is small, the experience will be less, to be experienced is impossible.

Diseases start from blind treatment, without a large number of patients as the basis of practice, it is useless to have a deep theoretical foundation, besides, most of the theories of medicine are made up, and it is not easy to understand them at all without clinical practice. Also, there is no such thing as a famous doctor whose life span is too short. If it is too short, he will not have so much experience and will not become a famous doctor of his generation. Most people are not convinced by what I say: medical theories are made up. Throughout all the books on Chinese medicine, there are no co-authors, they are all sole authors, because co-authors are bound to argue. Contemporary textbooks on Chinese medicine are compiled by people who have studied Western medicine. Therefore, when writing the chapter of "thirst", there are both "thirst", "thirst syndrome", "thirst disease" and "thirst". ", and "upper, middle and lower three consumption, kidney consumption" and "diabetes mellitus", a mess.

Medicine is so complex and so profound that it's hard to understand it deeply without a celebrity pointing it out. Even those characters are hard to figure out, plus the original writing is not clear. Many of the rare words in the Yellow Emperor's Classic of Internal Medicine (all the rare words can be found in my qq space journal) are difficult to find in the dictionary. When they are found, many of them are wrongly interpreted. Today's most authoritative "Hanyu Dazidian" in many of the medical aspects of "There was an error in the interpretation of ""("漢語大字典"). I have already corrected more than 20 of them, so the Editorial Board presented me with a set of Hanyu Dictionary. By now more than 100 places have been found. All of them have been sent to the Editorial Committee for correction when it is reprinted.

The red version was gifted to me

2. And again, the harder ones:

Through the school learning, first of all, the college entrance examination results are excellent, good memory, study hard during the school period, the results have been excellent, and continue to forge ahead, graduate students, doctoral students, to get a diploma, but at this point can only be counted as learning the theory, and no practical experience, as Ma Su, only good at: paper talk. The experience of treating diseases should come from practice, and the practice guided by theory is not blind practice. But the problem is that most of the theories of Chinese medicine are wrong, so how can you learn them and be superb in your skills? Because medical theories, whether Chinese or Western, are made up and most of them are wrong, textbooks are constantly being revised. Because Chinese medicine has not progressed far enough to make drastic revisions. I am engaged in this endeavor and after such an endeavor will be able to diagnose and treat illnesses when I am finished with my studies. There is a disconnect between the theoretical and clinical aspects of medicine for the most part. Take a look at the effect of using the word "wind" as the first character to connect the knowledge of Chinese and Western medicine related to wind. By creating new terms to accurately express things, a bridge is built between Chinese and Western medicine, so that the combination of Chinese and Western medicine is integrated.

Doctors in the future must be able to practise both Chinese and Western medicines because Chinese medicine and Western medicine have their respective strengths and weaknesses, and it is only by complementing each other's strengths and weaknesses that they will be able to treat diseases with ease.

3. Finally, the hardest.

The "miracle doctor" is the standard. Because the human body is a whole, the mystery is infinite, is inseparable from the natural world and the entire universe, and (language) words are very clumsy, can not be expressed in existing words to understand, and will never be able to express understanding, but only an approximate, and must be in the common cognitive basis in order to understand. The meridians, for example, can never be clearly understood by those who do not have a certain amount of internal energy, or by those who do not have the superhuman ability of internal vision, but can only know a little bit of the skin!

Western medicine, through dissection, can never dissect the meridians, acupuncture points, spirit, consciousness, etc. Leaving the whole and the living body, very many functions do not exist. Therefore, it is impossible for Western medicine to crush Chinese medicine, and it is impossible for Chinese medicine to crush Western medicine; the advantages of Western medicine are well known to everyone. Only the perfect combination of Chinese medicine and Western medicine, including other medicine, is the right way.

Read the classics, follow the master teacher, go to the clinic.

Medical practitioners are benevolent, learning medicine first builds up morality

Non-family heirlooms or non-Chinese medicine environment to grow up in the children, do not easily go to learn Chinese medicine, if only for health care that can learn the basic theory of Chinese medicine, as a culture to learn.

Chinese medicine is essentially a technique for human beings to fight against diseases, and it consists of three main levels.

1:Cure the disease: that is, the level of nourishment (improving immunity and consolidating self-healing).

2:Cure will be sick: that is, the level of prevention (repair immunity and stimulate self-healing).

3:Cure the already sick: that is, the level of healing (stimulating immunity and restoring self-healing).

These three levels are all based on a correct knowledge of the basic theories of Chinese medicine, so preaching, teaching, and solving puzzles throughout the entire cognitive system of Chinese medicine in the learning process, and the process of preaching is particularly important. As I just said, either the family tradition or a good teacher. Otherwise, even the basic techniques may not be mastered, not to mention the development and refinement!

In my experience, the most important thing to learn in TCM is accurate diagnosis. The judgment of not yet sick, will be sick, already sick, the determination of the treatment plan for will be sick, already sick, what kind of treatment to use? Acupuncture, moxibustion, acupuncture, guiding, pushing and kneading, etc. including how to formulate herbal medicine (dangfa). As well as the accurate prediction of the course of the disease, etc., this is not just a technical issue.

Chinese medicine must master the basic cognitive system, the doctrine of yin and yang, the doctrine of the five elements, the successive days of gossip theory, the theory of pulse and meridian theory, the theory of internal organs, the theory of meridian flow and so on. Any treatment of Chinese medicine must be built on the basis of these theories, otherwise it is a blind man feeling the elephant! Such as: Chinese medicine (swing method) must have the five elements of the theory of support, otherwise it is like stepping on the warping board on the formula, never swinging, swinging method of the formula must be "swinging of the flat, flat swing".

It is recommended to read "Huangdi Neijing", "difficult classic", "typhoid", "Shennong Ben Cao Jing". These are just the foundation of the foundation, the key to the key is absolutely necessary to inheritance, there is no transmission (work, method, technology), to rely on short-term learning and training, such as the University of Traditional Chinese Medicine (University) even reading is not a real qualified Chinese medicine, so we have a sentence: only the transmission of the road, (work, method, technology) did not learn the road (to the).

How can I learn Chinese medicine? How can I learn Chinese medicine professionally? :That is to be able to construct the word, have confidence! Grateful to the society! Goya Dan thin ideological character, morning to save human talent to learn well. Such as Sun Simiao, magpie, Hua Tuo, Su Su, Zhu Danxi, Regulus legendary characters, Taishang, Taiyi, Nine Silver Classic, Zhang Sanfeng classic, from the text out of the Can to today's prevalence, there is no letter to the commitment, simply powerless to talk about the profession. Learn Chinese medicine: one, from the self adaptive body, look at the ancient books have more defense ability, two, the book has to take the path, three, learning art imitation teacher, get the essence of Hu, the teacher said: false transmission of ten thousand weary book, the real transmission of the principle of a query live. Fourth, the labor of diligence, there will be good returns!
