How do you understand ancient Chinese medicine, with its theories and no prescriptions?
Why is ancient Chinese medicine called a treatise without a formula? The Yellow Emperor's Classic of Internal Medicine is a treatise, and the Treatise on Typhoid and Miscellaneous Diseases is not a formula. And it is a very useful formula for clinical practice. Why do so many Chinese medicine clinics recommend typhoid theory? Because the clinical practice is very effective, into a system, there are rules and regulations, there is logic.
Just by applying the Huangdi Neijing's understanding of man's own heavenly and human integration to typhoid fever theory, wouldn't there be a theory and a prescription?
Ancient Chinese medicine is based on practice, which is the crystallization of the heart and soul summarized by the vast number of working people in our country, and practice is the only criterion for testing the truth. Ancient Chinese medicine has great respect for the objective reality, respect for individual differences, different treatment for the same disease, it is based on the theory of respecting the objective facts, according to the reality of people's condition, the amount of formula. I think this is a reflection of seeking truth from facts and respecting human life. As ancient Chinese medicine has not been emphasized by society, many classical formulas have not been inherited, which cannot but be regarded as a great loss to mankind. Ancient Chinese medicine is a medical discipline founded on humanistic care. People should respect it and revere it, rather than despise it, which is the virtue that a Chinese should have.
Chinese medicine is based on Chinese cultural traditions, and Chinese philosophical thought is its theoretical foundation. The key difference from the West is that Chinese philosophical language and concepts have not been well imported into modern civilization, and there are no ideas and concepts that can be communicated to modern Western philosophies. The more people who have not inherited Chinese traditional culture well, the more they think that Chinese culture lacks philosophical ideas, and even think that China does not have its own philosophical system, which is the tragedy of the cliff-like inheritance of Chinese culture. Without one or even many revivals of Chinese culture, it is difficult to pass on the traditional Chinese philosophical thinking in its entirety, which is a loss for China itself, but also a loss for the world, and a loss for mankind, but it is very helpless. Similarly, Chinese medicine (I don't know what the concept of ancient Chinese medicine is), because of the lack of people's inheritance of traditional Chinese philosophical ideas, the development of Chinese medicine is greatly restricted, which is why the question of the editorial is raised. The prescription is not so important, what is important is the transmission of theories, which is fully necessary for development.
This is the wisdom of the ancients, from (Huangdi Neijing) we can see the ancients give us guidance direction. So much so that the later emergence of the king of medicine saints are looking for the re-creation. Of course, mankind in the development, the disease is also changing the original can not be used for future generations, so there is no party. Ancient people did not have cubic is also afraid of mistakenly down the future generations. This is also the reason for it!
