What are the manifestations of arrogant Chinese medicine?

Mondo Health Updated on 2024-02-09

In the eyes of many people, Chinese medicine is a way to do anything. They believe that TCM can ** all diseases, even some diseases that are considered incurable, such as wind, tuberculosis, diaphragm, etc. However, this view is actually a misunderstanding. We must be clear that TCM is not a panacea. Although TCM has achieved remarkable results in many diseases, it cannot be used in all diseases. Especially those diseases that are regarded as terminal diseases, such as wind, tuberculosis, cheeks, diaphragm, etc., are still unable to be treated by traditional Chinese medicine. Even in the thousands of years that TCM has continued to develop and grow, this problem has not been solved.

Without the intervention of Western medicine, it is difficult to effectively delay the progression of these terminal diseases by relying solely on traditional Chinese medicine. This is because these terminal diseases are complex and involve multiple systems and organs, and the methods of traditional Chinese medicine are often relatively simple, and it is difficult to solve these problems comprehensively. Therefore, we should have a rational attitude towards TCM. Although TCM has shown unique advantages in many diseases, we cannot consider it as a panacea. For those diseases that are considered terminally ill, we must not have high expectations, let alone believe in irresponsible propaganda and advertising. Only by looking at TCM rationally can we make better use of it to maintain our health.

Since ancient times, there have been many schools of thought in the field of traditional Chinese medicine, which compete with each other and despise each other, forming the so-called "peer contempt" phenomenon. From ancient times to the present, the struggle between schools of Chinese medicine has never stopped, and since the opening of the School of Traditional Chinese Medicine (University of Chinese Medicine), this phenomenon has intensified. As two major factions, academic Chinese medicine and folk Chinese medicine have never stopped despising and attacking each other. Folk TCM often criticizes academic TCM as "pseudo-TCM", believing that they deviate from the essence of traditional TCM, while academic TCM often treats folk TCM as "** believing that they have not undergone systematic medical training and certification." This phenomenon of mutual contempt is not only between the two factions, but even within the same faction, there are often cases of mutual contempt between different physicians.

Integrity and innovation are the two cornerstones of the development of traditional Chinese medicine. To uphold integrity is to adhere to the orthodoxy and essence of Chinese medicine, which is the basic quality that every Chinese medicine practitioner should have. However, when it comes to innovation, it is difficult to achieve it without the guidance and promotion of academic Chinese medicine. Academic TCM has rich experience and resources in medical research and clinical practice, and they can conduct in-depth research on traditional Chinese medicine with the help of modern scientific and technological means, so as to promote the innovative development of traditional Chinese medicine. Therefore, both academic and non-governmental schools should abandon the view of the gateway and work together to devote themselves to the development and innovation of traditional Chinese medicine.

People tend to think that everything that has been handed down is good, and this is due to the inertial thinking of history. Historically, there have been various schools of Chinese medicine, such as Confucianism, Taoism, and Buddhism, which shows that people who study medicine are not a fixed group of people, but anyone can learn them, and there is no threshold at all. Therefore, in the Chinese medicine writings that have been handed down through the ages, it is inevitable that there will be a lot of dross. Inheritance does not mean unreserved inheritance, with the deepening of understanding, we must have the courage to abandon those dross. However, it is regrettable that in real life, many people's understanding of Chinese medicine is still stuck at the level of the past, they think that as long as it is handed down, it must be good, and ignore that with the development of the times and the deepening of understanding, we need to constantly update and revise our understanding. Some people will resist Western medicine and medicine due to their interests or habitual thinking. They think that Western medicine is harmful to the human body, which is not true. In fact, although Western medicine and Chinese medicine have different methods, they are both for the best diseases and improve people's health. We should respect the advantages and disadvantages of each medicine and learn from each other's strengths, rather than blindly resisting or denying them. For those who resist Western medicine and Western medicine because of their interests, we should guide them to realize that the development and progress of medicine is to better serve the health and well-being of human beings, not to pursue short-term interests. In short, we should take a scientific and objective attitude towards Chinese medicine and Western medicine, and continue to learn and master new knowledge and techniques to better serve the health and well-being of mankind.
