What men opened the vanguard of traditional Chinese medicine?

Throughout the world, parts of the world in terms of different ethnic groups, in the early days it is independent of the development, the different living conditions and national character, make different cultural system. But because these nations must experience some similar historical stage, so in the early days, the same culture far more than different. Everyone according to the sun set up the concept of the years, also have very similar production tools and supplies, and even for common characteristics in hieroglyphic all kinds of words.

Medicine for development, from the primal instinct to experience the whole process of medicine, basic can say is consistent, every national there is no shortage of master of herbs, use a handyman surgeon. Since then have had the bigger difference, every national set up all kinds of "traditional medicine", but it has been going on now did not see decay, still can not be replaced by modern western medicine, is only about Chinese medicine. The reason is that China is not the experience of the simple medical medical, she has a complete theoretical system for guidance, the doctor treat the disease can be according to the theory analysis and processing have never seen of disease, it is difficult to do. Medical experience Even if is the common diseases, traditional Chinese medicine, also from the correct analysis of syndromes differentiation, and not simply repeat past experience.

Chinese medicine theory is how to produce, this is a controversial issue. However, "shen nong", "yellow emperor" is the ancient people, or that they in legends is between god and the mixture. In no written records, myth and legend is the only means of recorded history. Little experience medical practice experience, if not by individual summary, won't form theorized medicine. No matter how personal achievement to the objective factors, a kind of any of the landmark original, from experience to the theory, will ultimately through the personal leap to complete this work, is not what people can do it. If experience the development of medical science in the wisdom of men, so depends on the formation of systematism will not need to "heroes" do not. Any of a discipline development need such, medical is no exception. Without them, there can only be the development of medicine of materia medica (for example in a summary of the drugs, the expansion of the were difficult to appear), qualitative change.

The doctor of traditional Chinese medicine's theory of the five elements concept is not unique to medical, but a social philosophy, and when it was introduced after medical, there is the etiology and pathology, the drug, therapeutic principle the one integrated mass, the highly generalization and mutual longitudinal contact. This theorized progress, can not be attributed to those restrictions, the division of erudition, swift thinking, can with both of the finest. The outstanding people of the special function of the traditional Chinese medicine, but also involves an important part of the theory-the meridians. For this has not yet been confirmed by modern science completely of the human body contact system, the past for general explanation from clinical practice observations; The meridian, and found that the development of acupuncture art related. However clinical practice observation but what medical world, the original acupuncture, common bloodletting, massage therapy, such as iron, hot also widely used in eastern western, if is the reason led to the discovery of main and collateral channels, the theory should be generally appear all over the world, and the actual situation in China is only. Another hunan changsha miu unearthed han remedies, also showed the acupuncture methods is not produced in meridian doctrine before. So only think that causes the meridian acupuncture technique the development, can explain why the original acupuncture technology only in China can get development, has become a unique treatment technology.

Theory, is to establish the system of medical development mature most important marks. In the western world, ancient Greek YiSheng Hippocrates, about 460 BC-377) before which four elements as the main ideology theory system, the Roman GaiLun (A.D. 129 199), a play of western medicine has been holding, after the Renaissance was replaced by modern medicine. But modern medical huge system is in the (A.D. 1514 1564) as the foundation stone of anatomy and gradually developed. The traditional Chinese medicine theory based finish in han dynasty, not seen since then basic follow nature of changes. But to establish the system of theory, does not mean the end of medical experience. Experience is always first, and continuously in medicine, different development stages in a different form, and become an indispensable part in medicine. When theory system set up, many theory also after the inspection, experience must accept many can't afford to practice test theory are disappeared; On the other hand, the new experience and make wise man will rise to the sums up the theory. Medical, just is in this complex relationship of gradual development.
