First of all, one must understand that Chinese medicine is rooted in Chinese culture, and there is no Chinese medicine without Chinese culture. The theory of Chinese medicine originates from Chinese culture, so it was not difficult for the ancients to learn medicine, why? Why? Why is it not as difficult for ancient people to learn medicine as it is for present-day people to learn Chinese medicine? This is the difficulty of cultural disconnection at the present time.
I don't know if anyone has noticed, but the people who have made significant contributions to medicine throughout history were not originally healers.
扁鹊:秦越人按当今的说法是宾馆的经理;仓公:淳于意是齐国管粮仓的,相当于今天的粮食局长或地方粮油公司经理;医圣张仲景是长沙太守,相当于当今省级行政区的军政一把手;皇普谧是学者,在学医之前已经有《帝王世纪》,《玄宴春秋》这类著作,可以说著作等身,因病学医,他学医 He was already fifty years old when he learned medicine, but it didn't stop him from writing the classic "Acupuncture and Moxibustion A Yi Jing"; Ge Hong was a Taoist priest, Taoist name "Hug Park Zi", whose work "After Elbow Square" is still available; Tao Hongjing, the prime minister of the mountain, was a miscellaneous family, not a medical practitioner, and the "Shen Nong Ben Cao Jing Annotated" is also a classic; Zhu Danxi, a famous doctor of the Song Dynasty, learned medicine only when he was nearly forty years old, and was one of the four great masters of the Jin and Yuan dynasties; in the late Ming and early Qing Dynasties, he learned medicine at the age of forty. One of the four great; late Ming and early Qing dynasty famous scholar and poet Fu Shan is also not a medical doctor, his "Fu Qingzhu women's science" is also a very good focus; warm disease Wu Jutong studied medicine for many years before resolving to "is to give up lifting the industry". There is no other country in the world where non-professional doctors have written so many important and classic works as in China.
Why? Non-professional healers are able to leave classics for future generations? -Culture. It's important to say it three times, culture, culture, culture. As the ancients said, "A scholar learning medicine is like catching a chicken in a cage. Fan Zhongyan once said, "If you are not a good minister, you are a good doctor". Learning Chinese medicine is not obsessed with Chinese medicine in the first place, are first obsessed with China's profound culture, the Chinese culture has a deep identity and understanding, and then attracted by the Chinese medicine culture, understanding the theory of Chinese medicine is naturally not difficult.
Many anti-Chinese medicine practitioners have been culturally colonized and are unable to understand Chinese culture, not to mention the theories of Chinese medicine.
The pressing task now is not whether Chinese medicine is scientific or not, or whether the present science can explain it, but to vigorously promote traditional culture. With cultural awareness comes cultural identity, and the Chinese civilization of several thousand years cannot be colonized by Western culture.
When every Chinese is cognizant of their own culture and has cultural self-confidence, then the theory of Chinese medicine will not be like reading a heavenly book.
Some people go to Chinese medicine is the real purpose is to go to Chinese, go to Chinese culture, the most can reflect China's Chinese, and can take the matter of only Chinese medicine. Can not go against Chinese philosophy, literature, anti-Confucius Laozhuang, poems and songs a bit aimless, anti-Chinese medicine, in the name of science against Chinese medicine for anti-Chinese culture is a person who can take the matter of the grip.
That is why culture is the final competition, and must not be used as a gun by those who are against Chinese culture, the gun being Chinese medicine, which has protected the Chinese nation for thousands of years.

Chinese traditional medicine in the early years of our country, to the 50,000,000 people a real do health care, treatment, the people are healthy, from 39 years to 4o years of the introduction of Western medicine into China only began to learn Western medicine, with Western drugs,.
Why do you not believe in it? Over the past thousands of years, our ancestors have continuously explored the theories of Chinese medicine and made unparalleled achievements. Some people do not know how to follow blindly; some people worship foreign countries and pander to foreign countries, destroying the prestige of the national doctors and boosting the morale of other people; some people are anti-China, turning black and white upside down and deliberately belittling Chinese medicine. May I ask who among these people know the theories of Chinese medicine? If they do not understand it, there is no reason to question it, and irresponsible replies will also have a negative impact. Some people say that Chinese medicine has defects, but Western medicine does not? If one really cares about Chinese medicine, one can sincerely put forward reasonable suggestions instead of rejecting them altogether. People in the Chinese medicine sector should shoulder their responsibilities, strive for reform and innovation, and make their due contribution.
I am an I Ching enthusiast and understand that Chinese medicine is one of the best disciplines to utilize I Ching theories, and its development has a profound theoretical basis. Therefore, I am convinced that Chinese medicine has poetry and a distant future.
I believe in Chinese medicine because I have benefited from it. Is it right to deny traditional medicine like you? Since there are more people like you in the society, there are more and more people who do not learn Chinese medicine, and there are fewer and fewer good Chinese medicine practitioners. Chinese medicine is not useless, and Western medicine is not omnipotent. In the eighties I had a strange disease, every time during menstruation will be spitting blood, to the late once spit a pot can not stop, in the South China attached to a treatment for nearly two years to no avail, but more and more serious, people all over the body yellow, skinny bones, the only gain is that the doctor told me the name of the disease inverted menstruation, can not be cured, stopping menstruation on the good. After a chance encounter with the deceased father-in-law (doctor, the Cultural Revolution suicide, my husband was only 5 years old) living friend, he gave me a prescription and instructed me to take the day before menstruation, a single month did not vomit blood, in order to Kung Fu trapped in the efficacy of the second month I went to prescribe a prescription, and has not been inverted menstruation, and inverted the monthly leave is very punctual, until the age of 57 years old more than a month before menopause have been so. Another example is a few years, a diarrhea, did not see a doctor, I did not expect this disease with me so far, has made four times colonoscopy, three times rectal fingerprinting, no doctor told me what the disease, prescribed medication, eat not diarrhea, stopping the drug as usual. The last two examinations told me that I have anal papilloma, from one to two. So far, I still have unformed stools, and occasionally I have grooved stools as big as my pinky finger.
This is an indisputable fact. Western medicine a hundred dollars to cure the disease, Chinese medicine with a dollar can cure, this is the folk have the most say, but society to the national historical heritage to the loss of the folk are very shaken, the country should be the national historical heritage to carry forward, for the benefit of the people.
Oh, I'm not a Chinese medicine practitioner, nor a Western medicine practitioner, but I'm a science popularization of small short essay enthusiasts, to talk about a rough view, there is no theory and data, just an analogy: we have enough to eat, it's the credit of the rice, and the theory of agriculture, logistics theory, marketing theory has anything to do with it? Probably also has nothing to do with farmers, grain store salesmen, transportation truck drivers, right?
Chinese and Western medicine are just two different methods in the process of seeking health care for human beings, in itself there is no difference between high and low, the medicines used in Western medicine, this vein, that vein, this sulfonate, that phenol, in fact, are all the things that exist inside the natural world, only that people have gone through layers and layers of screening to find a more pure single product, and no medicinal chemist claims that he or she came up with a new drug that is not found in nature, but is purely built by themselves with individual atoms.
Chinese medicine, on the other hand, is just taking some rich healing mixtures from nature and using them directly, applying the concept of junshen zuozhi, so that these medicines do not damage other organs; it seems that Chinese medicine has given more consideration to this than the single drugs of Western medicine.
As for the title involved in the theory of Chinese medicine, yin and yang five elements or something, that's because the ancient language is crude, the concept of fuzzy, did not find a scientifically rigorous categorization of the terminology, borrowed yin and yang five elements to distinguish between the medicinal properties of the human body as well as the characteristics of the human body only, this way to let the disciples comprehend more convenient, of course, in the process of oral transmission, the latter inevitably cloak a little bit of mysticism color for it. This is from the primitive society of witch doctors have been handed down, is a kind of convention, this drug is cold nature, that kind of drug is warm and hot nature, that are after tens of thousands of years of actual human testing, than with the mouse test is more direct.
As an unrelated funny example, in German, a noun has to distinguish between feminine, neuter and masculine, and the same thing is expressed differently in feminine and masculine in different contexts, so who the hell are we going to argue with? Do we need to differentiate between the genders when we express a noun in Chinese? Doesn't German seem old-fashioned? But the German language can still be used to describe advanced mathematical theories, physics theories, the principle is so, the theory of Chinese medicine, can also be translated into the unified language of modern medicine, just no one tries to do so.Of course, it is due to the theory of Chinese medicine and Chinese herbal medicine in the scientific analysis of the lack of methodology, resulting in quackery also has a certain market, often a quack can be destroyed decades of good doctor's reputation, even more inscrutable, the great Mr. Lu Xun is to eat this loss.
So it is not a question of belief or disbelief, it is simply a layman who listens to the clouds and is not sure what is going on, and has to be rejected from the bottom of his heart. Can set off the dispute between Chinese and Western medicine, in fact, is behind the manipulation of interest groups, because the cloak of modern science, coupled with the protection of the Patent Law, commercial Know How concealment and fraud, can maximize corporate profits, in contrast to traditional Chinese medicine, over and over on so many thousands of flavors of medicines, pulling the wool over the eyes of the vast majority of them are some worthless flowers and grasses, there is no sense of mystery, not good enough to sell at a high price ah!
The key part is that the Chinese medicine looks very earthy, inside the East almost at a glance, the bugs is the bugs, the stone is the stone, and some is the usual Baxin home vegetables, weeds in the field, the bark of the tree is very much, compared to those beautifully packaged tablets, capsules, injections, is really goosebumps for the consumer body.
In fact, Chinese medicine and Western medicine are just two different ideas, some people have to pull this empirical discipline and culture, it is not necessary, because the Chinese medicine black in fact fundamentally deny the Chinese culture. It's like when we do handicrafts, some people like to use a carving knife to slowly repair, while some use power tools, do you think so?
Why don't you believe in it? Don't listen to those people on the Internet who say that Chinese medicine is worthless, but Chinese medicine is worthless if it is not the nonsense of some interest groups, deliberately belittling Chinese medicine, to maximize their interests, their purpose is very strong, is to bring down Chinese medicine. Either it is some online spammers, in order to create an atmosphere, to raise people's attention to them, follow the interests of the ass, and some are some of the people who follow the trend, it can be said that they do not know anything about Chinese medicine, but they are a wallflower, but also to follow the crowd, disparage Chinese medicine, to join in the fun.
The Chinese nation has flourished for 5,000 years, but the merits of Chinese medicine have been described as worthless by those interest groups or those spammers, how pathetic it is. Of course, no matter Chinese medicine or Western medicine, both have their dregs, we have to remove their shortcomings and absorb their advantages to benefit the people, which is the fundamental.
Why can't we believe that Chinese medicine theories can cure diseases? Is there nothing else in Chinese medicine except ancient prescriptions? Can Chinese medicine and Chinese theory be separated? Personally believe that Chinese medicine and Chinese medicine theory is complementary, ancient prescriptions through the theory will be more developed, of course, only the theory of Chinese medicine is not desirable, Chinese medicine is to be a good doctor.
My new neighbor is an herbalist, but not listed. But lots and lots of people come to him. My itchy feet, which had been a headache for more than 10 years, actually stopped itching after he prescribed an 8-dollar herbal remedy. And my breast lumps that I was so worried about are slowly getting softer. I can't thank him enough. I also heard that there was once a nine-year-old girl who actually had her period, and once she had it, she wouldn't stop. Even Guangxi Medical University also went to also not cured, and then heard people introduced to find him prescribed four pairs of drugs cured. So what can be handed down from thousands of years, must have its reason.
