        Whether "pulse" pregnancy ", does not affect to the system of traditional Chinese medicine is a judge, also might as well put into professional discussion and debate. If it can jump out of the simple words, become a public science popularization, that be not. 
 
        Activities in the zhen 嬛 the film and television drama, often there will be a doctor for women's pulse, and then determine the other pregnant, many public also convinced. It is reported that recently, the Beijing herb doctor "superman Po @ burns" tweeting has offered 100000 yuan can challenge to the traditional Chinese medicine "pulse pregnancy tests", Beijing university of Chinese medicine teacher Yang Zhen against. The challenges triggered heated debate on the net, also was rated as "medical event" by the media, the outcome will be decided this month. As the initiator of challenge, Po many times on the weibo poking fun at the doctor of traditional Chinese medicine, said can organize a contest of audition. 
 
        Yang Zhen said after the challenge, hope it is he and the treasure battle between the two, don't be upgraded to a fight between Chinese and western medicine. This desire is very real, after all, both on behalf of the Chinese medicine or western medicine, no need to debate the infinite amplification, but also should see, battle of Chinese and western medicine has never stopped. 
 
        Take "pulse" pregnancy ", Po is not the first question of western medicine, and Chinese medicine Yang Zhen is obviously not only dare to accept a challenge. And this kind of "reward challenge" and "to fight" public opinion against, in fact, if can continue upward along the scientific and rational road, not necessarily a bad thing. 
 
        For "pulse pregnancy", the data shows, its application in our country and inheritance for thousands of years, it had referred to as "xi vein", its main way is "listening, asking and", which is also regularly, and are not necessarily complete stunt. With western medicine theory to analyze, and women after pregnancy, blood flow, pulsating frequency, power, etc., are in fact will be changed. Experience of traditional Chinese medicine can judge women by pulse pregnant or not, this in itself is not therefore and strange. 
 
        The crux of the problem is clearly, "pulse" pregnancy "on it or not, not only western medicine and TCM opposing meaningless disputes, more should not be in between the individual doctor's. If the "pulse" pregnancy "is on, more scientific and explain what is it? The verification accuracy and can achieve pregnancy? If it is unreliable, because again? To these problems, the medical profession should be some relatively scientific conclusion and view, and it is necessary to uncover the related conclusions, make its basic medical knowledge and gained popularity, and was widely known by the public. 
 
        To be sure, "reveal the pregnancy" is just an example of numerous and complicated theory and rich practice of traditional Chinese medicine, and department at individual level of challenge, also explain the advantages and disadvantages of Chinese and western medicine. To understand this, to better understand and face the medical dispute. 
 
        Can be confirmed that falsified, "pulse" pregnancy "whether, not affect to the system of traditional Chinese medicine is a judge, also might as well put into professional discussion and debate. In the end, if it can jump out the mouth of the pure hydration blatant, become a public science popularization, that certainly is a good thing.
