Learning Chinese medicine, the foundation is the key, to hold the basic essentials, first miscellaneous, master pay how to arrange how you do, really want to eat this bowl of rice, in the master pay to do do not pick three choose four choose to do the job, first learn easy to learn a little more difficult, one is the nature of the medicine, the second is the pharmacology, the third is to match.

The original study of Chinese medicine is the vast majority of ancestors, pass male not female pass, pass inside not pass outside, outsiders can learn Chinese medicine that is quite a good relationship only pass you, master pay their own open medicine store, since the mountain picking their own medicine at home homemade, apprenticeship up to only three, five people, by doing miscellaneous work to hold on to the basic knowledge and the essentials to learn Chinese medicine for many years to be able to get out of the teacher, out of the teacher is not necessarily you can take off the hands of the patient to see the patient, and also only learn roughly. Learned a general.

The theory of Chinese medicine first learn pulse decision, learn the things recorded inside the book, strong memory, read more see more record the key parts, in addition to hold the basic essentials in the future to see the disease, followed by your enlightenment to practice.

The above discussion is a bit of my experience of learning the art, combined with my own experience of seeing the process of Chinese medicine apprenticeship.

Thank you for the invitation.

As a worker in healthcare, I would be happy to answer this question for you.

Before answering this question, it is important to know what you want to study TCM on your own? Do you want to become a doctor in the future? Is it purely a hobby, for your own health?

If you want to be a doctor, it is required that you graduate from a regular medical school to be eligible to take the licensing exam and qualify to practice medicine, then you will have to re-enter medical school.

If it is a pure hobby, only for the purpose of their own conditioning, it is much simpler. Do anything from the foundation to start, first buy a "basic Chinese medicine", which is mainly about the doctrine of yin and yang and five elements, the doctrine of Tibetan elephant, four diagnosis foundation, etiology of disease, the eight program identification, and so on. Can say, you get this book, you are a small half doctor, and then look at Chinese medicine, prescription, internal and external women and children.

A few days ago, a friend on the Internet, is also a Chinese medicine interest enthusiast, because of the state of sub-health, the whole day is difficult to bear, and I communicate for some time, but even to their own prescription, see, the formula is a model, he is very high enlightenment.

Many concepts of Chinese medicine are abstract and difficult to understand for beginners, but as long as they are taken step by step, one step at a time, and with more exchanges and advice from those who have studied Chinese medicine, they will soon reach their desired goal.

Lastly, I wish you the best of luck in reaching your desired destination!

I am a Chinese medicine clinician, and this is how I see how to learn Chinese medicine.

Zero foundation, want to learn Chinese medicine, where to start? What is effective? This is also a question I have been thinking about.

I once had the analogy that finally it seems like a high mountain, to which, there are many paths to the top of such a mountain. But there is a strange phenomenon that many people, who do not reach the top of the mountain, do not climb up the mountain themselves.

He was just looking down the hill, right there giving directions to the passersby, saying you can go this way and that way, you can go wherever you want from wherever you want! Don't you think that's strange?

So if you want to learn TCM, number one. Find a good clinical doctor of Chinese medicine, do teacher or give you instructions. This in the past is the master with an apprentice, that is, the teacher with the apprentice mode, this is the most effective and most direct, after time to prove that it is also the best results.

Of course, the other way is self-study. Self-study, the current Chinese medicine textbooks are very many, the types of books are also very complicated, how to start? Two suggestions.

One thing is to choose a systematic teaching material, from theory, to clinical practice to operation, is a system, such a set of teaching materials. Sink your heart into learning. Do not fish for one day, two days to sunnets, double-mindedness. Or very greedy, this also want to learn a little bit, that also want to learn a little bit, and finally learned to the head of the time wasted, found themselves, has not formally stepped into the threshold of Chinese medicine.

The second point is to learn from the perspective of use. Start from the perspective of problem solving. The Internet is so advanced that if you have a question, you can find the answer you want almost anywhere on the Internet. I say, just start to learn Chinese medicine, where to start or what books to read, surely the Internet will be someone will tell you.

The main idea is to learn from the perspective of use from your own side. For example, if you have a cold or a family member has a cold, how do you go about it, and how do you treat it with Chinese medicine? Then you can start to study to learn, learn well, try to use.

Waiting for a real clinical problem to learn, get started very fast and be more impressed. Words can find someone to ask for advice. I think this is a self-study of Chinese medicine, the fastest way.

There are so many theories in Chinese medicine, why do I advocate the use perspective? It's like if you want to learn to drive, you don't necessarily have to start by understanding the parts of a car or how it works, etc., you just need an instructor to take you there and teach you how to drive.

Everyone uses cell phones, but not many know how they work. But it works just as well. It's learning how to use it.

Chinese medicine also has this characteristic. That is, you don't need to know too many theoretical principles in the beginning, and there's no need to get hung up on a particular theory, but you can go ahead and use it, and use it to great effect.

For example, if you have a cold, then the theory of typhoid fever will tell you. To distinguish between sweat and no sweat, there is no fear of wind, cold and so on, such is based on clinical symptoms to start directly, any ordinary people can go to learn.

Tell you that you have a cold, with sweating and fear of wind. Then you can use Gui Zhi Tang to treat it. On the contrary, this person has a cold, fever without sweating, fear of cold, very serious, this time you can use Ephedra Soup. Once you look at it you just need to remember, what is the evidence for having a cold and using this formula? You just use it, and many times you can use it for effect.

To summarize, if you want to learn Chinese medicine with zero foundation, Eryang gives three points of advice.

1. Find a clinical Chinese medicine practitioner to worship, preferably a clinical Chinese medicine practitioner.

2. Find a set of systematic teaching materials to learn, the ancients have the Medical Zong Jinjian, into the people of Ni Haixia four major classics class, etc., Chinese medicine undergraduate textbooks, etc..

3. Self-study from the point of view of use to learn, encounter problems to find answers, learning while using, learning while using.

I'm TCM Eryang, a TCM clinician. To learn more about Chinese medicine, please follow my headline.

　1. Follow the teacher

If you are in a position to do so, make sure you find a good teacher, shadow and clinical, to learn the real thing the most. Here are three things to keep in mind:

(1) With what teacher, look at the results (never seen, always heard of), do not look at the introduction. Clinical efficacy is good, is a good doctor.

(2) With what teacher. Who does not want to worship a good teacher? But a good teacher is also to pick students. This is not the student's wishful thinking. In fact, only the teacher picks the student, the student basically has no choice.

(3) Be honest with your teacher. Honesty is the first point in following a teacher. Without honesty, you can't learn real skills.

2. Self-study

If you can't find a good teacher, you can only learn on your own. To be honest, learning Chinese medicine on your own is not simple. The knowledge of Chinese medicine is as vast as a sea of smoke, and there are many schools of thought, many famous Chinese medicine practitioners on self-study of Chinese medicine advice also varies. For those who have no foundation at all, it is recommended to start with "Basic Theory of Chinese Medicine", which is the first course offered by most Chinese medicine colleges and universities, and there are a lot of tutorials on the Internet about this book, which makes it easy to learn. If you have a certain degree of ancient Chinese language, Chinese medicine foundation, you can start from the "typhoid fever", many Chinese medicine people also start from the typhoid fever, in their own and their family members to practice the prescription, see the effect of Chinese medicine theory only after more firmly believe.

Thanks! You must be admitted to a TCM school and start learning from the basic theory of each subject! Teachers in the systematic explanation of theory at the same time, will be some difficult questions with clinical experience to give timely and correct answers. If you read the books by yourself, even if you memorize them all, there are many questions that you will not understand, and you are prone to misunderstandings and lead to bias in future applications. Those who think that Chinese medicine just read a few books can cure the idea is very ignorant and irresponsible; really learned Chinese medicine people can deeply appreciate the depth of its profound, to become a good Chinese medicine doctor to see the disease accurately, can not be shallow or rely on the mouth of similar charlatans to fool!

Thank you for your invitation, if you are planning to really study TCM, I would suggest following the university TCM curriculum, step by step. If this is a personal hobby for you, I suggest you read some of the earlier treatises on Chinese medicine, such as the Yellow Emperor's Classic of Internal Medicine, rather than going through, whichever Netflix's own treatises and interpretations of the classics. Chinese medicine is a rigorous scientific discipline, in addition to theory, but also need a lot of practice to correct, the time and energy required, are more than the general scientific disciplines, I hope you consider according to their own situation. I hope my answer is useful to you.

One of the reasons for the wide spread and far-reaching influence of Chinese medicine should be mentioned that Chinese culture has accomplished, summarized and inherited the theory of Chinese medicine, and in turn, the theory of Chinese medicine has enriched Chinese culture.
Historically, some famous medical doctors have first from the Confucianism and then transferred to Chinese medicine, such as Huang Fu Quiet, Zhu Danxi; both government officials and know medicine, such as Wang Bing, Xu Dachun, and most of the medical writings have been handed down to the world. This phenomenon is not unrelated to the Chinese culture and Chinese medicine in some of the canonical books in tandem with each other, so that at that time in the literati circulated in the "for the son of a man who do not know the medical science" of the training. Perhaps influenced by this environment, some of the literati in the past often take Chinese medicine as a hobby to learn and play.
In fact, apart from explaining human physiology, pathology and disease treatment, Chinese medicine also includes ancient astronomy, geography, philosophy, psychology, sociology and ancient Chinese linguistics. We learn it, in addition to self-health care to get rid of diseases, will also learn a lot of knowledge contained in the national science. Therefore, if you have the leisure and pleasure, you may wish to study it.
The above text is taken from the selection of "Ramblings after the Clinic", Sun Jia Ni
One type of Chinese medicine is westernized, according to the western medical name of the disease, laboratory tests to see the patient, the medicine is no soup, heap up the Chinese medicine has no junshen zuozhi chapter, not only the treatment is often ineffective, but also may aggravate the condition.
The second is the prescription of Chinese medicine: these Chinese medicine practitioners are often teachers with apprentices or family tradition of Chinese medicine, prescribe medicines with soup, and sometimes also use the scriptures to do the basis of the party to hit the bottom. The therapeutic effect is not bad, and there are quite a lot of old patients. However, the problem of Chinese medicine is that chronic diseases can not stop, after stopping medication will relapse. Secondly, for big and serious diseases, especially tumors, the means are limited, and it is very difficult to stabilize the condition, so the viewpoint of TCM practitioners is to let the tumor patients to have surgery first, and at the same time to use Chinese medicine to regulate the condition. Treatment of cold and flu cannot be solved by one dose of medicine
Thirdly, Chinese medicine practitioners with scriptures: these Chinese medicine practitioners are real Chinese medicine practitioners who analyze patients' conditions in accordance with the six meridians and dialectics, and the dialectics is accurate, and often patients drink the first bowl of medicine and can feel the magical efficacy of traditional Chinese medicine; treating even the dreaded tumors, and if the dialectics is accurate, the condition will be controlled at once. In the treatment of colds and other exogenous diseases, usually one or two doses of medicine to get rid of. This kind of Chinese medicine is already very scarce, such as Mr. Ni Haixia in the United States, Dr. Wu Guozhong and Mr. Chen Ming in Beijing, and Mr. Huang Huang in Nanjing. However, I have also seen that patients' conditions often recur when Chinese medicine practitioners add or subtract prescriptions or change prescriptions.

Learning Chinese medicine naturally need to read Chinese medicine books, and Chinese medicine books are as vast as the sea, how to choose the introductory reading material and orderly reading, is undoubtedly related to the time and effectiveness of the
The first step in the study of Chinese medicine: the basic theories of Chinese medicine, first of all, so that we understand how Chinese medicine describes the physiology of the human body, the occurrence of disease and the understanding of disease.

2, Chinese medicine, the nature of the drug, flavor, function, preparation, dosage must be really mastered, its side effects must also be understood, especially toxic drugs.

3, prescription class: prescription is the elaboration and study of the laws of drug compounding and clinical application of a discipline, is one of the basic disciplines of clinical subjects. Formulary is to elaborate and study the law of drug combination and prescription and clinical application of a discipline, is one of the basic subjects of clinical disciplines.

4, Chinese medicine diagnosis: the basic means of diagnosis in Chinese medicine is to look, smell, ask, cut four diagnosis, four diagnosis can not be abused. Tongue diagnosis is particularly important in diagnostic observation, there are "evidence is not identified by the pulse, the pulse is not identified by the tongue," said, indicating that tongue diagnosis can be made in the suspicion of the correct judgment. Cutting diagnosis to cut the pulse makes people feel mysterious and complex and difficult to learn, before some Chinese medicine practitioners tend to use this to show off their skills, three fingers a touch will be talking about the patient's symptoms. Learning Chinese medicine can not be separated from a good teacher and a good friend
As the old saying goes: the well is poured three times and the water is sweet from itself, and the teacher is skilled in martial arts from three families. Chinese medicine teacher is a way to learn Chinese medicine ~~~~~-
Persons who have studied Chinese medicine in the form of teacher-training or who, after years of practice, have proven expertise in the art of medicine.

Where is the most effective way to start learning Chinese medicine? Learning Chinese medicine, there is no shortcut to enter, learning Chinese medicine is a long and slow process! Kung fu in the foundation, the foundation includes memorization of medicinal properties "medicinal properties of four hundred flavors" familiar with the "Nei Jing" hard to learn "Typhoid Fever Theory" "Golden Poverty Essentials" leisure time to turn over the "Basic Theory of Traditional Chinese Medicine", and more reference to the generations of masters, "notes" ...... more medical books have to see the vernacular version, the ancient version is not really The ancient version is really not something that the average person can learn.

On the shortcut, learned the yin and yang five elements, know the human physiology and pathology, can. Dialectic (look and smell and ask and cut) can be treated (sweat, vomit, eliminate warmth, clear and complementary), knowledge of medicinal properties of the "medicinal properties of the Fu", remember the head of the soup "soup head song",,, the general disease you can come down!

Chinese medicine is profound! The emphasis is on memorization and recitation!

If you have the conditions, it is best to find an experienced old Chinese medicine practitioner to take you directly from the teacher. The essence of Chinese medicine in the pulse, diagnosis is the most important, only diagnose the disease can be the right medicine. Therefore, the first thing to learn Chinese medicine is to learn to take the pulse, books can not be learned, there is no experience in the accumulation of experience to summarize, will always learn is the skin. Chinese medicine talks about look, smell, ask, cut, cut is to cut the pulse, cut in the last is also the most important. Even more powerful Chinese medicine, if you can not take the pulse, not a good Chinese medicine.

I'm happy to answer your question:

Learn Chinese medicine as long as you have the interest and self-confidence, the appropriate method is not difficult to teach you how to learn good Chinese medicine? The most effective and shortcut way to learn Chinese medicine is to learn the theory with a good Chinese medicine side to follow the practice, otherwise you will read the book is useless, Chinese medicine in the practice of learning on the basis of a more interested in a better understanding of acceptance, Chinese medicine is very abstract, only with this good Chinese medicine side to learn the theory of the practice will be able to understand very easily to accept the abstract knowledge, so that the learning method of learning Chinese medicine will not be difficult.

Self-study of Chinese medicine is the most effective and shortcut way is to learn the theory with a good Chinese medicine side to follow the practice, otherwise you read the book is useless, Chinese medicine in the practice of learning on the basis of a more interested in a better understanding of acceptance, learning faster.

First of all you need to buy a set of textbooks, 1, Basic TCM, 2, Traditional Chinese Medicine, 3, Formulas, 4, TCM Diagnostics, 5, TCM Internal Medicine. This is just the basic, according to the learning experience, I hope it can help you, I think for self-study is easier to get started. It's faster to recognize the theory of Chinese medicine and the way of thinking. At the same time you also need to learn the fundamentals of Chinese medicine, traditional Chinese medicine, prescription science.
