Why is there no Chinese medicine practitioner like Li Shizhen in the last hundred years?

Why is there no Chinese medicine practitioner like Li Shizhen in the last hundred years?

Here involves a core issue of Chinese medicine: whether or not internal vision exists. Now we can be sure that Li Shizhen and those who have made achievements in Chinese medicine, most of them are "supernatural" with the function of internal vision, otherwise it is impossible to observe the Chinese medicine into the body after walking that meridian, in which place to gather energy, which belongs to the five elements of the category, and so on.

Nowadays, Chinese medicine practitioners do not have the ability to "look inward and back to see", so there is no longer any outstanding achievements in the field of Chinese medicine. This is a kind of regret and a kind of encouragement.


In addition to writing "Compendium of Materia Medica", Li Shizhen, a Ming Dynasty medical scientist, also has "Pulse Science" and "Examination of the Eight Channels of Qi Jing".

According to the preface of Zhang Dingsi's "Preface to the Re-Engraving of the Study of the Pulse and the Examination of the Eight Channels of the Qi Jing," written in 1603 by Emperor Shenzong of the Ming Dynasty, Li Shizhen, after examining and verifying, believed that the "Secret of the Pulse" was not authored by Wang Shuho. Li Shizhen examined more than 50 kinds of books on pulse science, absorbed the essence of famous masters, and wrote "Pulse Science" and "Examination of the Eight Channels of the Qi Jing".

A contemporary scholar, Mr. Song Zhixing, who studied Li Shizhen's academic thinking, noted that "Li has always disagreed with Taoist prescriptions...". However, in his account of the yin chakra in the "Examination of the Eight Chakras of the Qi Jing", Li Shizhen used the content of the "Eight Chakra Classic" written by Zhang Ziyang, a Taoist priest of the Northern Song Dynasty, to introduce the beginning and end of the eight chakras, stating that "the eight chakras of mortals belong to the yin gods and they are closed but not open, but the gods and immortals open them up with yang qi, and so they can attain the way of Taoism", and pointing out that "the contents of the Eight Chakra Classic by Ziyang are slightly different from those of the healers. and pointed out that "the Ziyang" Eight Veins Jing "contained, a little different from what the doctor said". Li Shizhen here did not clarify the content of the "different", but also cited Zhang Taoist "internal tunnel, but back to the viewer, can be illuminated", suddenly pointed out that "its words will not be fallacious. Visible Li Shizhen not only has the ability to see inside, but also know how to practice.



Modern scholars Lin Ruxiang also failed to explore Zhang Ziyang "internal tunnel, but back to the viewer" under the premise of the Taoist "internal counterview" belongs to the category of qigong and supernormal capabilities. Pointed out: "That is to say, only people who have practiced qigong to a certain extent can see the existence of the human meridian system". According to Ma Xianjun's "Perception of Li Shizhen's View of Meridians", it is stated that: "'The argument that the internal view is tunneled, but only those who return to the viewer are able to observe it'... is a pithy description of the induction of the meridians in the highest realm of self-refinement of qigong, which is sufficient to show that practicing qigong is the only way to know the meridians and reveal the mysteries of human life...". The exercise of qigong must be given top priority". The two gentlemen believe that when one reaches a certain high level of qigong practice, one can see the existence of the meridians in one's own body. However, this is only a speculation.



At present, no one in the Chinese medical profession has the ability to see within, and no one has been able to confirm this through qigong, so there is no empirical evidence as to whether or not the ability and description of the ancient healers of the past, "to see within and to see again", can be attained. This is also the intrinsic reason why there are no more doctors like Li Shizhen in modern times.

First of all, the exploration of any knowledge is an unknown quantity, and are a long time, in addition to the need for human talent, but also need to be persistent, but also can not have distractions, by the money around, be tempted to enjoy the goods, for three meals a day to run around, why? If a person first survival can not be solved, first of all, you have to go first to earn money money, first solve the problem of life, so people only survive, will have the energy to play other things.

Why is it that people who play with technology and explore knowledge cannot be swayed by money and are greedy for pleasure? That is when you become a traitor inches, heart and mind all think about how to earn money money, also have no heart to play those unknown things.

Why can't people who are greedy for pleasure also play with technology research and development, knowledge exploration, that's because once people trap a high quality of material life, they are not willing to suffer, and when they have money money, they will spend it, so they will not be able to invest their money money into a project that is an unknown quantity.

Today, Chinese people love to play is to invest in short and quick projects, such as real estate, what goods are good to buy on the imitation cottage assembly what goods, so play cottage goods, do not need the cost of research and development, the cost is very low, the profit is very high, so we all come to invest in playing cottage products.

Why do people love to play with imitation cottage products? It is because of the drive of interest, why? If a company to play R & D, other companies to play imitation copycat products, play imitation copycat products, because of the low price of the product, the market demand is very large, absolutely the more you play the bigger, the more you play the stronger. Because China's market is very large, so China's cottage enterprises are playing a lot. And those who play the R & D enterprises, either bankruptcy, or change the industry, or even more anti-shanty enterprise acquisition.

The development of cottage enterprises can not only be bigger and stronger, but also play the original R & D companies and enterprises to death, why? Because the cottage enterprises do not need to invest in the initial research and development costs, so they produce goods at a very low cost, it will hit the market, will that this play R & D companies to defeat the goods.

So the cottage enterprise, as long as see the market of new products out, immediately through commercial espionage to steal the core technology, immediately for the development of cottage products assembly, and finally extinguished the research and development of new technologies and new commodities of the enterprise. So the cottage enterprises, you can play a family of original R & D enterprises, and finally his own stronger and bigger. Why do they play like this? That is because we defaulted to the legality of the cottage enterprises, know that the product protection is not good strict, so the cottage enterprises to play more and more big, we do not love to play the seed technology R & D and development, of course, there will be no science and technology masters, and Li Shizhen that Xiang Xiang's medical masters.

In the last hundred years, traditional medicine has been impacted by the involvement of Western medicine in China, which specializes in surgery, emergency care, and obstetrics and gynecology. Furthermore, the profit generation is greater than that of Chinese medicine. Under the temptation of monetary benefits, people have shifted the focus of medical treatment to investment and research in Western medicine. Look at the YoYo team, the development of artemisinin, only a few decades to how much benefit to the economy, but not as much as the hospital a few operations to generate more revenue. Nowadays, the famous TCM doctors, Li Ke, Ni Haixia, Zhang Boli, Shi Cenmo, Deng Jutao are no less than Li Shizhen. But modern people have been brainwashed by the West and don't want to admit it. The heartache was incurable in Li Shizhen's time, and it was overcome by Li Ke. It's just that the scheming body didn't publicize it more. Chinese medicine cured SARS, new crown, some people具不认可,还抹黑张伯礼,邓铁涛,就是有李时珍一样的人物,在资本的威力下,也得不到承认。 Western medicine is topped with the laurels of science, and Chinese medicine is relegated to the backwardness of the family signs, so the Chinese medicine can not come out like Li Shizhen everyone. In ancient times, China only had traditional medicine which was the same as the doctor, so only the people of China recognized the Chinese medicine everyone.

Personal opinion, nearly a hundred years after the entry of Western medicine, just in a state of social chaos, so many Chinese medicine also played a role in saving lives, and then the development of Western medicine from the perspective of evidence-based medicine, the continuous introduction of high-tech inspection and testing techniques, but also convenient, and in recent years, people feel that Chinese medicine is slow to produce results, not as fast as the Western medical practitioners, and become a lot of young people to the direction of the development of Western medicine. In fact, what I know is that many famous doctors of Western medicine also began to research in the direction of Chinese medicine, the state also strongly support the development of Chinese medicine, this epidemic Chinese medicine also plays an important role, can be expected to the next ten or twenty years will appear Li Shizhen this kind of famous Chinese medicine!

First of all, do not talk about whether you are really in the bag or Chinese medicine, first of all, he is a historical figure, he is in the history of the main work is the compendium of materia medica, then the compendium of materia medica for him in the end is to learn or to apply, it is not good enough to say it clearly, and now we are in the situation that we write the article have to have the data have to have the analysis of the analysis of these data is true is false, and only their authors know know, so for nearly a hundred years There is no famous Chinese medicine practitioners, because many doctors in the use of Western medicine standards to mark their own cultural level and academic thinking, so that this kind of thinking restricts the development of Chinese medicine.

Strictly speaking, the Materia Medica written by Li Shizhen is a museum book, not a medical book. There is too much in it, and much of it is not medically useful, and some of it is dross, such as what is ash under a widow's mat and so on. What about Li Shizhen's clinic, seldom seen, and never seen his medical case. According to Ni Haixia's point of view, Li Shizhen was counterproductive to the development of Chinese medicine. In Chinese medicine, the most important book on pharmacology is the Shennong Ben Cao Jing (神农本草经), and the vast majority of the medicines used in Typhoid Fever Theory (伤寒论), are from Shennong Ben Cao Jing (神农本草经). Over the centuries, there should be quite a number of people who surpassed Li Shizhen in clinical aspects, such as Hu Xishu. However, there are really no TCM practitioners who have surpassed Li Shizhen in terms of museums.

As a prospective TCM practitioner, I personally feel that Li Shizhen did not make any outstanding contribution to TCM, but only wrote an encyclopedia of TCM. The books that really make TCM work are Huang Di Nei Jing (Yellow Emperor's Classic of Internal Medicine) and Typhoid Miscellaneous Diseases (Treatise on Typhoid Diseases). If you learn these two books most of the diseases can be basically dealt with! Personal opinion only

Now China's folk still have Li Shizhen like a giant life, they have high medical ethics, to cure the sick to save people as their own responsibility, the money is very light, do not want to be famous, so the feeling is that in the last hundred years did not come out of Li Shizhen that same character.

I feel that the main reason is that for hundreds of years, Chinese medicine has had the most to do with the several foreign interventions that the country has experienced in its backwardness! Each intervention has lowered the strength of the country, pricked the nerves of the people of the country, and thus the people of the country have produced a generalized heart and behavior to catch up with the foreign invasion and to seek for success in a hurry! As a result, there is no time and space for any student to learn the essence of traditional Chinese medicine theories, and naturally, there is no space for high-level Chinese medicine practitioners such as Li Shiqin to emerge!

The invasion of Western troops and the immersion of foreign cultures jeopardized China, so there is a saying that "there is no Huaxia after the Song Dynasty, and no China after the Ming Dynasty"! Medicine, religion, all affected ......! [anger] [tears] [anger] [tears]
