Classical theory, even if it is complete, if not every time reading, time must become rigid lifeless xuan. Vitality of TCM lies in it is open, strong internal driving force is not the past, complacent, after the fundamental idea is relatively fixed, past dynasties doctor always because of different historical background, geographical conditions and human environment of change and innovation, so as to adapt to the needs of the new situation.

, traditional Chinese medicine is will with the improvement of China's comprehensive national strength and the Renaissance, between Chinese and western medicine is bound to face a fierce debate and, in the contradiction and there must be a lot of communication and correspondence, will form "he in me, and I have his" of the complicated situation, the Renaissance will be through the efforts of several generations to come.

Traditional Chinese medicine culture is one of the most representative of Chinese traditional culture, harmony is the guidance of the fundamental concepts. Throughout the development of traditional Chinese medicine for thousands of years, we can draw a conclusion, the theory of TCM is a precocious, core theory system is formed, it is difficult to a breakthrough in terms of fundamental theory for the later generations. In qin and han dynasties to huangdi neijing "to the" treatise on febrile disease, represented by the cold-induced febride will for thousands of years of a consistent principle of French drug fixed pattern, formation of TCM theoretical system of root and stem; After two jin sui and tang dynasties, although the acknowledgement, more outstanding is in practice accumulation, and summarizes the classification methods of diversity, reflect more is tricky thing, is based on the root dry branches and leaves. The development of traditional Chinese medicine is dynamic, and we are learning, it is important to note that the use of the observation method of history.

Classical theory even if is complete, if it does not have the people in The Times of each interpretation, time must become rigid lifeless xuan. "Ask canal which had so much to have a source to", traditional Chinese medicine vitality of strong internal driving force is that it is open, not the past, complacent, after the fundamental idea is relatively fixed, past dynasties doctor always because of different historical background, geographical conditions and human environment of change and innovation, to meet the needs of the new situation. We no matter from the perspective of the inheritance and development of traditional Chinese medicine, should use historical perspective to observe and think, find the main line of TCM academic development in China's history, and see the hidden motivation, only in this way can avoid repeats ideas, only through in-depth research and rational thinking, easy to make themselves and others, to build confidence in TCM.

Attaches great importance to the inspiration from the ancient history

Whole in huangdi neijing, which is about the basic theory of more, less involve the specific treatment methods, carries the prescription only thirteen, referred to as "Canon of 13 party", the relative formula, records of acupuncture and moxibustion is a lot of, the "pivot" and was known as the "needle", "element asked" also has a large number of chapters about acupuncture, this is because of the spring and autumn period and the warring states period also is not very convenient transportation, and at the governors divided stage, then logistics must be very not convenient, northeast of the drug to reach southwest? Therefore can spread over a large area is not relying too much on the concept of transportation and acupuncture tool, less medicine more needle phenomenon in neijing is produced naturally. Look at Canon and the treatise on febrile disease is very pay attention to the emphasis on cold evil, the theory of plain question · for pain, are emphasized on almost the whole cold evil invasion meridian viscera, treatise on febrile disease is the "typhoid fever" begins, contact characteristics of the history of the qin and han dynasties, such as the sparsely populated, many big cities in the north central plains region, han and in a second the little ice age in Chinese history, the temperature is much lower now, historical records han emperor ChuPing offered four years "when" like a summer in June, the cold winter, so cold evil is the main cause of such diseases, and at that time, of course, will cause the attention of the subject. Warm disease school supplement the deficiency of the theory of typhoid, Ming period, according to the high davie "during the Ming and qing dynasties of China's population data in the book, the late Ming dynasty period of China's population, about 1.5 ~ 200 million population base 3 ~ 6 times that of the han dynasty, the increase in the number of people means that the consumption of energy increase, especially in the jiangnan area of population density is very big, can be a little heat island effect, become the main cause of such diseases appear warm, damp and hot phenomenon, it is not surprising. Again, from the macro perspective of the development history of the entire human race, han before such diseases is more, less injury, there are internal injuries seven emotions, tired eating soup mash feels ashamed to rule, this is because the human in ancient period was still in the stage in the process of the development of youth, the restriction of the heaven and earth is strong this; Along with the progress of the humanities, natural sciences, the people with heaven and earth resistance ability stronger, now has entered the human development of adolescence, exposed more is its own internal is not adjustable, so in some economically developed areas, and related diseases, such as psychological disease, endocrine disease incidence rate is much higher than in remote areas, as long as we pull the human development throughout, and horizontal, is no longer difficult to understand and deal with some problems.

Attaches great importance to the influence of cultural ideology

Traditional Chinese medicine is not a pure natural discipline, and modern medical science such as biology, physics, chemistry, on the basis of traditional Chinese medicine is more emphasis on literature, history, philosophy, art and other humanities. TCM theory basis of the writing of the huangdi neijing didn't leave your name, but only under the guise of the yellow emperor gaps "in the name of, this kind of practice is rarely seen in today, expression to the exit of zhuangzi philosophy, from the point of this, the author of neijing a word family thought the essence, nature will be reflected in the book, we study neijing today, if you don't understand some of zhuang zi's philosophy, and how understanding? Western han dong very diligence, "three years don't peep garden" implemented, its academic thought under the support of the emperor Confucianism as orthodoxy, the sections about chun-qiu theory mentioned "days", there is a wide in neijing, such as subject that sun simiao in tang dynasty time, big hong period of Buddhism, Chinese Buddhism advocated by the southern dynasty emperor wudi xiao yan, formed the monks vegetarian tradition, this concept also affects the sun simiao medication, in his masterpiece, in the big d sincere honest show palpitations, cloud: "to kill to survive, to go further. We present the party so you don't have life for medicine, thus also good". Other such as put forward by brook "insufficient Yang often, Yin often" said, is influenced by neo-confucianism "save them and destroy the human" thought influence; The textual research in the qing dynasty, the wind of ancient building will be Wang Qingren "cure a wood correction; Should be thinking about the most is the modern introduces, western culture has been completely dominated the Chinese people's outlook on life, world outlook and values, so the study of contemporary Chinese medicine direction is to follow the pace of the western science, for the evaluation standard of TCM is western medicine, also caused the situation of the weakness of traditional Chinese medicine with the qing dynasty ruled today after thought such historical origin, imagine, in a literary inquisition daxing, under the background of intellectual can only be silenced, how can have the freedom of academic, rigid thinking how can bring academic fresh air? By combing and analysis of the cultural influence on traditional Chinese medicine in general, we can be optimistically predicted that TCM is will with the improvement of China's comprehensive national strength and the Renaissance, between Chinese and western medicine is bound to face a fierce debate and, in the contradiction and there must be a lot of communication and correspondence, will form "he in me, and I have his" of the complicated situation, the Renaissance will through the efforts of several generations of long will come, and then the new China medicine, leading may appear in traditional Chinese medicine and western medicine to run, have art of traditional Chinese medicine, western medicine has the technology, both see the forest, and there are trees of new medicine, new atmosphere, in the end, the concept of Chinese and western medicine will fade, as west to Buddhism, via the song the efforts of several generations into new Confucianism, Confucianism, Buddhism, Taoism three confluence to one.

Pay more attention to the study of past dynasties doctor personal life

Everyone's academic thinking from the family background, living environment, social status, characteristics, the influence of factors such as personal encounter. Such as zhang zhongjing satrap as changsha for a long time, can be used in large-scale disease epidemic executive orders for its treatment, so it's easy to get a comprehensive understanding of explosive epidemic, for this part of the experience of epidemic has a hierarchy, the theory of systematic treatise on febrile disease, and in the daily gain of scattered small clinical activities experience, then collected now part of the golden chamber, its systemic, it is not very tight; They specialize in history, western medical huang-fu mi youth for middle-aged bi, sparked interest in acupuncture and moxibustion therapy, after into the acupuncture by party a and party b, become a generation of acupuncture master; Again like who sun simiao in tang dynasty gifted, young for a quick "SAN tong" in the name of, life indifferent to fame and wealth, in folk medicine for a long time, get a lot of first-hand experience in clinical, and be good at to collect folk single prescription, so its academic characteristic is good at huitong, lively and clever, do the daughter side of the thousand Jin Yifang contains a lot of original invention, and personal experience are inseparable; Li dongheng born rich home, always contact crowd more privilege, rich men's thick flavour and diet, what disease is associated with spleen and stomach, so has the theory of spleen and stomach; Zhongjing, Ming zhang jingyue is called "the eternal one", is the academic majestic atmosphere, the best summarizes system closely, can often borrow medical military theory, puts forward the viewpoints of eight array, the New Zealand eight array said, instead of a blue blood, and there was a long military career experience inseparable; Great scholars in the late qing dynasty YuYue is known as the first person to repeal of TCM in modern China, he proposed a "medical waste, medicine all abandon" point of view, because of its great influence on the academic and personality, the view also has a far-reaching influence on academic circles, even by today's Chinese medicine, but as long as we learn YuYue since youth, family misfortune, relatives have gone, will naturally understand that he comes in.

Attaches great importance to the author's personal history

Be a good doctor of traditional Chinese medicine, after 50 years of age to achievement, because in addition to the accumulation of theoretical knowledge, but also there is a long process of practice, is to learn in the enlightenment, one middle school, the unity of theory and practice process, this difficulty is self-evident; Study of traditional Chinese medicine to some extent, however, simpler and more modern medicine, because everyone has his body the best laboratory, and little requirements. Sense of traditional Chinese medicine although there, if not through their own practice, however, it is difficult to put the use of these theories, the doctor had no deep understanding of his own, is the same as with collar blindness, such as mencius said "with its drift, make people manifest", will not have to. Although conditions have, use requirement is very high, however, the first is to carefully, be good at to observe the change of their body, produce the real experience, such as the pivot, the mouth to ask an article about the mechanism of sleep and wake up is: "who day day line in Yang gas, midnight line in Yin. Yin is the night, the night lie... sun be the spirit fully, Yin bravado, mu Ming, Yin qi, and the sun be the spirit, may yi", if only is to understand words, will think insomnia is only the Yin deficiency, of course there are also a significant number of clinical belong to Yin deficiency suffer from insomnia, but there are quite a few by acupuncture or suspended moxibustion hundred will to solve, this is solved the problem of the transfer channel portal pivot of Yin and Yang adverse, this kind of feeling, in fact we have before we fall asleep, every day is only pay attention to your or not. Moreover, Chinese medicine has never been a "SanSheGong and become the good understanding, to a certain age, after the stage of young, young, middle-aged and elderly, physical changes in all stages of life, health and various transition of sub-health, disease, people will pay close attention to the theory in the book make a comparison, and with the changing of personal family social roles, to people of different age, different social strata of the disease, has a more vital experience, such as do the parents, will naturally over more attention, older parents, also will certainly to geriatrics pay more attention to. "Everywhere pay attention to all learning," in this life, walk while learning, thinking and practice, will theory internalization, truly "unity", this is to pay attention to the significance of personal history.
