什么是中医药？

Last class we have talked about Chinese traditional culture

So let's focus on what's traditional Chinese medicine

who came up with the term "traditional Chinese medicine" is unknown

but we are sure that it's named for the purpose of distinguishing it from Western medicine

In the thousand-year-history, there is no special name as traditional Chinese medicine

none in Inner Canon of Yellow Emperor,Treatise on Febrile and Miscellaneous Diseases,Tang materia medica,or Compendium of Materia Medica

It's called medical science or pharmacology

Concerning traditional Chinese medicine, I'd like to illustrate in the following three aspects

First is about medicine practice under the guidence of traditional Chinese medicine theory It is about the fundemental definition of traditional Chinese medicine

Second is about how it has influenced our history Third is to discuss about it in terms of its cultural influence

So let's talk about the definition of traditional Chinese medicine itself That is, Chinese medicine guided by the traditional Chinese medine theory

To start with, we need to know what is traditional Chinese medicine theory in order to know what the definition means

Traditional Chinese medicine theory actually involves yin-yang,the five elements,zang-fu, grain, pathogenesis,disease,Xiaoke syndrome

Then we will talk about a number of important theories later in the following courses

So what is it the practice of traditional Chinese medicine For example, we are talking about a man who goes to see a TCM doctor

so can the TCM diagnosis way of looking, smelling,asking,and feeling the pulse be counted as disease diagnosis

of course. how about the treatment of the disease

For example, oral administration through acupuncture or Chinese medicine or medicine wine, Or topical applicator, Fumigation, or a massage,

of course these are also considered as the medical practice of traditional Chinese medicine It also includes Mentoring heritage

Drug content provisioning is also a very extensive collection,for example herbs collection identification,binary,planting drugs,medicines boiling and manufacturing

We know the perfect high-end classic preparations and some other modern formulations and tablets

and the drug store as well as drug transportation, etc. Well, from the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine

For example, some prescription and case management in hospitals Then also we should set standards for drugs and combat illegal agreements.

charlatans is also a noun often talked about in history

So actually the practice of Chinese medicine also includes the R&D of Chinese medicine For example, do research of chemical constituents by some experiments

Its pharmacological effects of the drug and matrix formulation process Then education

Let's talk about educational philosophy of Chinese medicine We now have college education and also a number of private school education, etc.

In fact there is a broader context that includes regimen and treating disease For example, mental recuperating,doing sports,diet and Diet

For example, in Shanghai popular Pastes are of the concepts including curing Winter Disease in summer etc.

This is the first issue we are going to talk about. it is about Chinese medicine Practice under the guidance of such TCM theory of Chinese medicine

So the second question we are going to talk about is from the perspective of the positioning of TCM We know in history China has four great inventions

So can TCM be considered as the fifth great invention of China Or was recommended to a new four great inventions

So we all know China's four great inventions in history Compass, gunpowder, papermaking and movable typing

But the concept "four great inventions" is not come up with by Chinese people it is put forward by Western and finally accepted by Chinese people

as early as 50 years time Italian mathematician called Girolamo Cardano

He was the first to put forward what impact the three great inventions China has on the world it is a sinan, also a compass,and some Chinese call it beizhen.

There are still gunpowder,printing And it is regarded as uncompatible in ancient history

Later, in 1620, when the British philosopher Bacon also mentioned in the surname Gong He said the three inventions are compass,gunpowder, and printing

Has changed all over the world. from 1861 to 1863, Marx and Engels gave the inventions peak-high meaning

Marx said in speaking of mechanical forces of nature and scientific use Compass, gunpowder, printing three great inventions which foresaw the arrival of bourgeois society

for example, gunpowder crushed the Knight class The compass opened the world market and establish colonies

The printing becomes a Protestant tool Overall it becomes a means of scientific renaissance

Becomes a maximum leverage which creates necessary precondition for spiritual development

Engels also talked some about passing China's four great inventions to Europe in Spain through the Arab countries

Yiyuan Shi was the first scholar who added papermaking into the four great inventions After comparing Japan and China, he said

Japan indeed doesn't have excellent discoveries including printing papermaking and compass, gunpowder

That means that China has these four great inventions It was eventually by the British historian and sinologist Joseph Needham

He identified China's four great inventions of this So in fact, the role of the four great inventions play comes to recede

some think whether to come up with new four great inventions Apparently due to the historical role Chinese medicine holds

it is reasonable because it exists today and has impact on the world From the perspective of its historical contribution to human health

and its value now It is no less than four former great inventions

Accordingly it is suggested that the four great inventions of modern China should be hybrid rice, kanji laser phototypesetting,synthetic insulin and Coartem

in fact such inventions as artemisinin or Coartem is just one example of drug-resistant invention of TCM

however, actually Chinese medicine is far beyond

So there are some who believe that on the basis of the four great inventions in China to consider the value of this in medicine. TCM should be added to the fifth great invention

Of course, there comes to how to set standards.

But through such a short discussion of the importance of traditional Chinese medicine,it is obvious

Next let's discuss Chinese medicine from the third perspective---culture

Some people think that Chinese medicine is unique in traditional Chinese culture so its cultural value is also very important

If try to understand the rich spiritual culture the Chinese medicine itself contains from a narrow perspective For example, talked about concept of yin and yang balance of health

The integrated idea of Heaven and human Focus on treating disease and mental health recuperating

Even today modern Chinese medicine is highly developed These ideas still have strong vitality

Broadly speaking Chinese medicine is created by our ancestors Covering material and spiritual civilization

It not only has a lot of advanced medicine ideas and concepts

There are many specific inventions For example, some treatment methods and drug manufacturing technology

Then there are acupuncture and cupping Scraping Chinese medicine infusion and medicine manufacturing,

we can say that Chinese medicine is the concept of health,disease prevention and lifestyle culture Chinese people hold for generations

So that's all we talk about Next lesson we will discuss why to take this course
