Traditional Chinese medicine specialized recruitment

of liberal arts foundation should be heavy

China's traditional Chinese medicine reported

    Science is always with methodology, the development of epistemology and development. The same study traditional Chinese medicine if neglect the cultural origins and methodology, epistemology, as it cannot be born, combination root no root, this without long.

    From the development of traditional Chinese medicine, Chinese medicine is for source by Chinese traditional thinking development; If the terms of the structure of the discipline knowledge, traditional Chinese medicine contains Chinese culture, history, philosophy, astronomy, geography, social subjects such as knowledge, is a variety of Chinese ancient discipline knowledge of organic integration. From the scientific point of view, traditional Chinese medicine is a kind of system science, comprehensive science, is different from scientific analysis of science, the reduction of another kind of the scientific method. But now, students at the university of traditional Chinese medicine basic it is accepted modern science education of the recent high school graduates, this also is traditional Chinese medicine education to cultivate outstanding one of the causes of the talents.

    The author thinks that the traditional Chinese medicine, university undergraduate course should be in the school of arts living of standard to admit a student is more appropriate, because study traditional Chinese medicine, it is the need of Chinese history, culture, philosophy roots. If have knowledge of ancient prose, philosophy, the more can be assisted the study of traditional Chinese medicine classics, base on the source for. But now the recruit students standards, is good at number, the principle, the choice of the students read Chinese medicine. The surface looks learning that biology, chemistry will help the study subjects such as medical understanding human physiological condition,; But in fact the main help western medicine of study, for the traditional learning and no special help, more likely to have a negative impact.

    The doctor of traditional Chinese medicine's course is to develop the emphasis should be of traditional Chinese medicine. According to the law of traditional Chinese medicine should be itself and not the law of western medicine recruit students. So, on the one hand, students have no good basic concept and lack of Chinese literature and history and philosophy, to start learning the knowledge of traditional Chinese medicine to see its thinking method, learning method completely different, the study traditional Chinese medicine met many difficulties when. On the other hand, living habit since childhood reduction of scientific type has had little contact system science education, the content of the undergraduate curriculum, and within about methodology of subjects, not when students contact, will of traditional Chinese medicine found that many with his former knowledge contradictory place, cause, or even suspect that question, negative, reduce to scientific character of TCM to study traditional Chinese medicine and interest.

     Of course, for the traditional Chinese medicine is a subject of arts and science both, and each subject development should also from other disciplines content, and should not be Sally Jenkins, simple to a direction. And young people have special plasticity, arts, sciences people also can learn from each other each other's content, the relationship between the two is not contradictory. With the modern society education and no absolute wen, Richard branch in high school students, the knowledge you have learned is not deep, therefore, the university should design the reasonable more comprehensive course to cultivate talents. From this point, I'm afraid simplicity is liberal arts or science living, are not the best choice, and should choose the students with unity and coherence in writing.
