Is the preoccupation with TCM sects hindering the development of TCM?

If a discipline is truly dynamic, it will naturally adjust between sectarianism and unification, and when division hinders the development of the discipline, practitioners will naturally strive to break up the sectarianism. If over-centralization affects the development of a discipline, it will also be automatically divided when a division of labor is needed. If there are two schools of thought that disagree on a unified topic, the two schools will also decide the winner through experimentation and logic as they develop, either one school will be retained and the other eliminated, or the two schools will take what they have to offer to establish a comprehensive doctrine.

Chinese medicine has never existed as a science, and has missed the time to learn from science and unify, and is now a special profession muddling along in a special cultural and political environment, and leaving this environment, it is not qualified to be called medicine at all, and its practitioners are not qualified to be on an equal footing with real doctors. The so-called sects are also just from the division and culture, and the construction and development of the discipline has nothing to do with, and there is not much prospect for the development of Chinese medicine if it is not divided into different sects.

The distinction between Chinese sects has little effect on Chinese medicine. I think that the distinction of the Chinese sects of Chinese medicine is of great help to the progress of Chinese medicine. Because Chinese medicine in many cases is the relationship between one's own understanding and the disease. Instead of the concept that if you say it is right, then who is right and if others say it is right, then they are not right. He is good for the theoretical development of Chinese medicine

Anyone who can ask such a question is basically brain-dead because he does not understand the development and formation process of Chinese medicine. In Zhang Zhongjing's time, nine out of ten rooms were empty and seven out of ten people died. People in the midst of the war were displaced, had no fixed abode, and were exposed to the elements. That is why typhoid fever was the most common disease in the world. To Li Shizhen that era, life is relatively peaceful, living in peace and happiness. People's common diseases and frequent illnesses also changed. Therefore the means of treatment and the medicines used would also change. The schools of Chinese medicine are not self-appointed by these famous doctors but are summarized by later people. Until the end of the Qing Dynasty appeared Zheng Anqin's Fire God school, so finally there is a very different treatment. We nowadays blow air-conditioning and eat cold drinks. So the Fu-Yang School can be very popular again. Chinese medicine practitioners will never stick to one form of treatment for their patients, just like a Chinese medicine practitioner who only prescribes medicine for seven days at a time and then adjusts the prescription for the patient.

Chinese medicine has a sectarian debate, in order to promote the development of Chinese medicine diagnosis and treatment techniques and theories of perfection.

Look at traditional martial arts.

Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) is a big tumor in the Chinese medical system. At the medical level, its theories are based on metaphysics like traditional medicine of other ethnic groups, which is not verified and cannot stand the scrutiny; its pharmacology is based on experience, which does not exclude the self-healing and placebo effects, and may contain effective remedies, but because of the mixed and ineffective remedies, the workload of verifying them is too great, and the essence of the modern pharmacology does not have a great significance in guiding the modern pharmacology. At the economic level, Chinese medicine has caused a large amount of waste of human and material resources, financial resources, intellectual land and health insurance resources, and created a large number of unnecessary ecological disasters; in the creation of new medicines, play the role of bad money to expel good money, the creation of new drugs for the domestic business has a negative impact. At the ideological level, the thinking of some people will be pulled into the five elements of the cold and yin and yang pit can not be extricated, lowering the national scientific literacy and rational thinking ability.

Medicine is used to cure people and save them, not to boost national self-confidence. It is the development of pills and therapies that are recognized by the people of the world that can truly boost national self-confidence. Although the sedan chair is very safe, it has been replaced by the automobile; the big knife and spear are no longer good, but also can't beat the hot weapon. 100 years ago, the Boxer Rebellion shouted that the sword and spear are not perishable to the foreigner's muzzle, and the blind confidence of the Chinese medicine is similar to the current quite Chinese medicine.

In Chinese medicine, there is only a difference between the depth of technique and the speed of healing. There is no argument about schools of thought. No matter what school, technology and efficacy is the biggest market power. Who can't escape the natural law of the survival of the best and the worst. Including today's government doctors and all kinds of schools of private medicine.

The denial of private medical practitioners from entering the market is a travesty of official regulations. The efficacy of treatment is the test of technology. The survival of the fittest is the great law of nature. "Banning the illegal practice of medicine is bullshit.!"

I think that the division of Chinese medicine into sects will not hinder the development of Chinese medicine, but will also promote it!

First of all, we need to know why there are schools of Chinese medicine, because in the past, some Chinese medicine practitioners studied with all their heart, and in practice, they have invented a unique method of treating diseases. In the process of inheritance, many disciples inherited and continued this method and formed their own school.

China's vast territory, there is a saying that "one side of the water and soil to raise a side of the people". Climate is not the same, the human body to adapt to climate conditions are not the same, for example: Sichuan people like to eat spicy, otherwise it is easy to get rheumatism and bone disease and so on. Different regions have different regional characteristics, which is one of the main reasons for the division of schools of Chinese medicine.

The mysterious and miraculous healing effects of TCM sects have attracted the interest and aspiration of the inherited people for many years, and that is why there are generations of aspiring Chinese medicine practitioners to pass down the culture of TCM!

If there are no sects of Chinese medicine and they are all the same, they will only be suitable for a part of China.

This is precisely because foreigners, as well as some people in China, are unable to understand the sectarianism of Chinese medicine culture.

It is precisely because of the unique culture of Chinese medicine that it can be adapted to the local conditions, so that Chinese medicine can be all-encompassing and benefit all the people in the Chinese land!

This seemingly antagonistic yet unified, seemingly contradictory yet unimpeded culture of Chinese medicine is where the wonders of Chinese civilization lie!

We, as inheritors of Chinese culture, should be proud of the wisdom of our ancestors!

There should be no schools of Chinese medicine. If we understand the theories of Chinese medicine thoroughly, we will realize that there are no sects at all. These issues have been clearly stated in the Yellow Emperor's Internal Canon. Even all the famous masters of Chinese medicine did not say anything about sects, it is just that later scholars have misunderstood. If you don't believe me, you can go and study the theory of Chinese medicine seriously.

Speak with real data, evaluate with objective effect! Supported by scientific theories!
