Editor's note: to the development of traditional Chinese medicine, the key point is to correctly understand the scientific value of traditional Chinese medicine, Chinese medicine and adjust the relationship between the western medicine. In this paper the development of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) in the process, is also the most basic common people sense of cognition of the deviation, from both theoretical and practical aspects discusses the relationship between traditional Chinese medicine eight, in order to strengthen the scientific understanding of traditional Chinese medicine.

        Science and humanities

        TCM has science and humanities double properties has become the consensus of academic most people, but for two main/auxiliary weight and the relationship between still more ambiguous. The current on this problem is not the key to awareness deviation of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) science and humanities composition of the actual proportion and advocate complementary relationship, but the academic and chattering classes are common in Chinese medicine of humanistic attribute be exaggerated, a lot of people are keen on from philosophy on the level of humanities talk about of the profound Chinese medicine, some people even think of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) to humanistic attribute is given priority to, radically reversed TCM science and the humanities advocate complementary relationship, this is clearly a one-sided or even the wrong.

        Traditional Chinese medicine is the ancients in and disease in the practice of long struggle formed a medical science and technology to prevent and cure diseases, traditional Chinese medicine in the formation and development, especially in the process of refining rise to the theory of borrow very large amounts of ancient philosophy thought such as Yin and Yang, etc, and absorbing the Confucianism, Buddhism, and the word, the essence of traditional culture, borrowing and absorption philosophy of culture purpose is to better understanding and clarify the physiology and pathology of the human body phenomenon, is for prevention and cure of diseases of the service, they act is the role of the tools and symbols, is of the auxiliary and affiliate. Medical science is the essence of traditional Chinese medicine and the mainstream, traditional Chinese medicine real life lies in its real and rich scientific connotation, complete system of academic system, specific and practical diagnostic methods, especially the unique real clinical curative effect.

        The qing dynasty was ZhouFoHai medical assertion: "after the song, is the most good books YiAn, not like notes of ancient book forced analogy also." Mr. Zhang binglin said, "the Chinese medicine, the most the YiAn grades. Desire the experience of the former experience, YiAn most clues, and follow here to study diligently, easier." Because YiAn is doctors true record, very few humanities color, so YiAn also important scientific practical value, clinical can see, these discusses it is experience. This also from another side really reflect the true scientific connotation of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM).

        For traditional Chinese medicine scientific and humanistic attribute relationship, and also has a clear subject knowledge and elaborated, such as for traditional culture represents the relationship between Confucianism and Chinese medicine, XuChunFu Ming dynasty in the ancient and modern medical series "in pointed out:" than philosophical medical, solid second also. But the move off, the term life Confucianism wounds... general etiquette, the medical losses. The land of manners and know not to fix, ignorance of Confucius, profit and loss of teaching is not divided, being against the orders of." Here is to separate officialdom, explicitly pointed out that the lives of being is medical is the core and key.

        Science is not equal to the truth, but we still want to believe that science, we will follow the scientific idea and scientific method, especially follow the scientific rule. The first thing we should certainly nature of science of traditional Chinese medicine, Chinese medicine adjust the relationship between science and humanity, we should not only must be excellent Chinese culture to the development of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) play an important role, and more confidently made the theme of traditional Chinese medicine science, we not only want to do good medical culture expert, more want to do good science and technology expert of traditional Chinese medicine, Chinese medicine scientific concept into let every man's heart. We should really went up from science and technology level research and exploration of the basic law of traditional Chinese medicine to prevent and cure diseases, serious study inheritance the ancients to prevent and cure diseases experience, further system itself and comparative study of mining, appropriate desalination the humanistic colour, concise scientific themes, fully understand the advantages and disadvantages of traditional Chinese medicine, and constantly melts into the modern scientific philosophy, so that the Chinese medicine theory is more perfect and more practical in practical Chinese diagnosis and treatment, so as to really improve the contribution of traditional Chinese medicine in disease prevention and cure, in order to adapt to the people's health on the urgent needs of career of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM).

        Traditional Chinese medicine and western medicine

        For many years, some Chinese philosophy and science research in theoretical workers have been attention and comparative study of Chinese and western medicine, and puts forward a lot about their respective characteristics of Chinese and western medicine and the two related point, this one of the most important and discusses the most such as traditional Chinese medicine theory, is argument western medicine is restoration; Traditional Chinese medicine, western medicine is the metaphysical be is the substantial medical skill, etc. Some even say: "Chinese medicine for 'and' way, not" fight disease 'study of traditional Chinese medicine is not directly on the......, traditional Chinese medicine and in person, and disease autonomous... so TCM not just cure of medicine, and mainly is to be and." And people judge: "the China and Chinese culture is to be for this SuoYuan, western medicine including western philosophy is at the shadow and lose the substance".

        The arguments from the pure theoretical perspective if methodology go up to see some formulation may not wrong, but if deep into the clinical practice of Chinese and western medicine, we will feel the formulation is difficult to agree. Its unilateralism, limitations and serious misunderstanding is obvious, and this is what we really know to traditional Chinese and western medicine of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) especially in the very great degree is a strong practical and clinical medicine, no long-term clinical practice in the current even not had a system of professional research can really understand the scientific picture, let alone from overall upstairs for judgment.

        Turn over the history of the development of traditional Chinese and western medicine, traditional Chinese and western medicine into medical practice, we will see the traditional Chinese medicine and western medicine are in the human fight diseases produced in the practice of medicine, the understanding of the physiology and pathology of the human body, the overall concept of disease prevention and control, even a lot of specific ideas and methods of diagnosis and treatment are near, the same. In Chinese and western medicine we can see anatomy concept, organ concept, quantity concept, disease control and prevention is the most basic concept of medical element, listening, asking and traditional Chinese medicine, western medicine depending on the touch knock at listening to the same more wonderful. In fact, western medicine are "fight disease" learn, disease to talents can "and" and therefore are "and people," the way.

        The understanding of Chinese and western medicine to many diseases are strong correspondence, such as thirsting disorder and diabetes, obstruction and coronary heart disease, ascites and GuZhang, asthma and asthmatic bronchitis, diarrhea and enteritis, dysentery and bacterium dysentery and so on. Regardless of the understanding of the law to learn and diagnosis and treatment methods of implementation of the all have a wide range of convergence, such as traditional Chinese medicine and clear hot and humid poison, western medicine eliminate the virus bacteria; The pain of traditional Chinese medicine with urgency method, western medicine with pain spasm medicine; West heal enteritis, TCM stop diarrhea; Western medicine anticoagulation thrombolysis, TCM blood know luo. These seemingly different treatment methods and ways, but may have roughly the same effect reflect that behind the medical, pharmacological effect such as study of the basic also may be roughly the convergence.

        Traditional Chinese medicine and western medicine is China's medical science front's Allies, in traditional Chinese and western medicine in the same object and the target bear joint mission, in science camp them are close to the most academic paternity. Each has his strong point of Chinese and western medicine, and each has short, joint is better than single, complementary is better than the competition has been our country for decades of medical practice are confirmed. Especially at present JiBingPu change, the life style disease increasingly widespread, and health status, major infectious disease prevention and control a difficult task, need to close cooperation of Chinese and western medicine reality and complement each other, added sound, not the opposite to each other and excluded, so as to better respond to the common medical challenges of the 21 st century, traditional Chinese medicine and western medicine in the coalition together in perfect, in communion each put extraordinary splendour.

        Inheritance and innovation

        Inheritance and innovation is an eternal subject for the development of traditional Chinese medicine academic. Only inheritance can make the firm foundation theory of traditional Chinese medicine, and innovation to traditional Chinese medicine academic only keep the vigor. In a sense, inheritance is the source of innovation, and innovation is the power of the inheritance.

        The so-called inherited, and not to the traditional Chinese medical theory system, thinking mode, diagnosis and treatment, diagnosis and treatment, diagnosis and treatment methods mode content of the simple experience learn and accept, but a complete and orderly process, in addition to learning and accept outside, still should include the thinking and understanding, generalization, and comb, digestion and absorption, application and validation, refining and sublimation, optimization and restructuring. Only through this process, and it is in Chinese medicine academic real sense of inheritance. Zh academician once said: "academic ideas should be scholars high level of academic achievement is long-term persistence insist on 'read classic, a clinical', has some fresh in diagnosis and treatment based on the experience of the academic sparkle and extract the condensed the thought essence, which contains the innovative thinking and innovative achievements," this sentence brilliantly summarized the height of traditional Chinese medicine academic inheritance and innovation and all the meaning of the relationship.

        The purpose of the inheritance is innovation, and innovation is the purpose of the new theory, produce new thinking, new methods. Innovation based on inheritance should be insisted on the principle of innovation, innovation is the primary task of the theoretical innovation, which is in deep mining Chinese medicine theory scientific connotation foundation, according to the JiBingPu change and goal of treatment of conversion of reality, and constantly into the modern scientific philosophy, and the current main should explore traditional Chinese medicine and western medicine disease and syndrome genetic disease in the relationship, proximity, the correspondence and deviation of inner link, with traditional Chinese medicine theory guidance for modern medical disease prevention and cure find or build more theoretic pivots, perhaps this is the traditional Chinese medicine theory innovation of the real breakthrough. No theory innovation, Chinese medicine academic progress is an empty talk.

        In theory innovation at the same time, we need to further improvement and innovation mode of traditional Chinese medicine diagnosis and treatment, adjust the update diagnosis and treatment ideas and create new methods of diagnosis and treatment, creating new formula, developed a new drug, creating new dosage forms, etc. The methodological innovation and no breakthrough, the so-called innovation also become the castles in the air.

        In the process of inheritance and innovation and relationships, academician of zh was there a the penetrating elaboration and concluded: "the aim of the new moon reading for the source, is to inherit, is the home of the past serve the present, but eventually want to reflect the innovation of academic, careful inherit the traditional Chinese medicine theory and clinical diagnosis, classic, question and then experience, interpretation and validation innovation. Read the classic, read the card, interpretation of inheritance, innovation in nature and is the implementation of the modernization of traditional Chinese medicine." The word of the point of it.

        Clear the essence of inheritance and innovation and the relationship between them, just can make we correct the direction of traditional Chinese medicine academic research, adjust the research idea, also can truly promote the progress of Chinese medicine academic. (to be continued)
