| Zuchang,also known as the setting up qi field,is an innovative technology of Qi theory.It refers to the process of forming an entirety of one’s own Qi,the Qi in nature,and the Qi of objects in the field(such as hunman,objects,etc.)by mind,to fill a specific place,and on this basis,influencing the Qi field and objects in the Qi field through changes in one’s own Qi field and language instructions.Zuchang is a traditional Chinese medicine Qi theory technology created by drawing on the achievements of traditional Qi theory technology,inspired by modern scientific research achievements,and meeting the needs of the times.The Qi theory is the core theory of traditional Chinese medicine and traditional Chinese culture.Qi theory technology refers to the cultivation techniques of ancient medical experts and experts in other fields based on the Qi theory.Purpose and Significance:This study originated from the reflection on the traditional Qi theory technology of TCM : the Zhuyou(incantation and psychology)technology of TCM.The TCM Zhuyou technique originated from the Inner canon of Yellow Emperor and was incorporated into the official medical system and medical education system in the Sui and Tang dynasties,treated as an orthodox TCM therapy.Throughout history,medical experts have fully affirmed its efficacy.Hoever due to the mysterious form and unclear mechanism,the development of Zhuyou has been hindered.As Sun Simiao said,"This method(refers to Zhuyou)looks mysterious.It’s difficult to understand by the language expression.And there’s no way to understand it through logical reasoning.However,operating according to the method has significant effects." Therefore,exploring the mechanism of traditional Chinese medicine’s Zhuyou has become a challenge for medical experts throughout history.In the process of solving this problem,it was found that there are many similarities between Zhuyou technology and Xingqi technology,as well as psychological suggestion technology in psychology and modern science’s intention technology.They all play a role in the potential power and effectiveness of human consciousness.Therefore,we named it the consciousness effectiveness technique.Zuchang innovative technology base on Qi theory can scientifically and reasonably explain the mechanisms of consciousness effectiveness technology such as Zhyou.The purpose of this study is to investigate the scientific nature of the Zuchang,in order to provide new ideas and methods for uncovering the mysteries of the potential power and effectiveness of human consciousness.Zuchang is an innovative technology of the Qi theory,as the content of Non Consensus Innovation.It is inconsistent with the existing scientific thinking mode of reductionism,but it is not a heretical theory.Zuchang has its own scientific nature.Zuchang is an innovative application of traditional Qi theory and a creative transformation of traditional Qi theory technology.The significance of this study lies in its contribution to promoting the modernization of Qi theory and technology.Firstly,Zuchang can be applied as a new medical method in general health industry.Secondly,scientific research on the Zuchang can promote the integration of Qi theory and cutting-edge consciousness science.Thirdly,different from the development direction of artificial intelligence,Zuchang technology focuses on exploring and unleashing the potential power and effectiveness of human consciousness,which is expected to change the production and lifestyle of human culture in the future.Method:1 Literature research method The literature research of this article is divided into three parts.Firstly,this article provides a review and visual analysis of the application of Zuchang in medicine from the 1980 s to the 1990 s,to show the research achievements of Zuchang.The second is to search and sort out the theories and techniques of Qi theory in TCM and traditional cultural classics,such as the techniques of Zhuyou and Xingqi;The third is to search for and sort out literature and books related to psychology and modern science,such as psychological suggestion and intention techniques.2 Exploratory research method This study is a Exploratory research.Based on the existing knowledge of traditional Chinese medicine,traditional chinese culture,modern science,psychology,etc,this research explores the new knowledge,new theory,and new technology of Zuchang.3 Interdisciplinary research methods This study utilizes the theories,methods,and achievements of multiple disciplines such as Qi theory in TCM and the theory of Qi in traditional chinese culture,the research foundation of consciousness in modern science and psychology,to study the theory and technology of Zuchang.4 Experimental method This study takes the experimental study of intervention on the proliferation ability of mesenchymal stem cells in Zuchang as an example.Discussed the experimental process and operational specifications of the bidirectional association experimental method in Zuchang.It should be noted that this article mainly focuses on theoretical study.And this experimental study is only intended to illustrate the experimental process and operational specifications of the bidirectional association experimental method in Zuchang.5 Experience summary method The quality training,operation process,influencing factors,etc,discussed in Zuchang theoretical system are the general experience summarized on the basis of extensive practical foundation.Content:The research content can be summarized as One center,Five major aspects.One center focuses on discussing the scientific nature of Zuchang;The Five Aspects refer to the five aspects of discourse that illustrate the scientificity of Zuchang.1 A Review of Medical Literature on Zuchang Zuchang technology was born in the late 1970 s,and rich practical applications and experimental research were carried out in the 1980 s and 1990 s.These are valuable materials and experiences for scientific research on Zuchang,demonstrated their effectiveness.However,they have not received much attention from the academic community.Therefore,the first chapter of this article provides a review and analysis of the research on Zuchang in medicine,revealing the exact effect of Zuchang in regulating human life and external substances.This is in line with the affirmation of the effectiveness of Zhuyou technology by ancient medical experts,and has stimulated the motivation of this thesis to explore the scientific nature of Zuchang.2 Discussion on the Scientific Properties of Zuchang To explore the scientificity of Zuchang,in addition to confirming the scientific facts of it,it’s also necessary to determine the attributes of its scientific propositions from a broader perspective.It is necessary to place them in the context of modern science to determine their scientific attributes,take a bird’s-eye view of the whole view and to avoid narrowness and limitations.It is also necessary to explore its scientific connotation in the context of ancient Chinese science to inherit the essence,and avoid sacrificing the original and losing the root.This thesis believes that Zuchang belongs to the research category of modern science,science of consciousness,consciousness effectiveness.Therefore,in Chapter 2,this thesis takes the scientific proposition of consciousness effectiveness as the main line,sorting out the theoretical background and technical basis involved in consciousness science,psychology,traditional chinese culture,and TCM.Firstly,in terms of theoretical background,it indicates that the study of the consciousness effectiveness proposition is one of the trends in modern scientific development.Its application runs through the process of psychological development.Moreover,Qi theory is a powerful theoretical tool for the study of consciousness effectiveness.The second aspect is the technical foundation,which summarizes four major consciousness effectiveness technologies at all times and in all countries.Zhuyou and Xingqi technology in traditional Chinese medicine and culture,psychological suggestion technology in psychology,intention technology in modern science.This thesis also provides a detailed review of their connotation definition,historical development,quality requirements,implementation methods,specific operation methods,function and effectiveness,and principles & mechanisms.The mutual verification between the four consciousness effectiveness technologies and Zuchang technology indicates that Zuchang theory is not like water without source,but has scientific basis,theoretical basis,and technical reference.3 Construction of the theoretical system of Zuchang The scientific research of Zuchang cannot be separated from the construction of its own theoretical system.Zuchang technology is a sublation of the use of consciousness and effectiveness technology in both ancient and modern,chinese and foreign.On the one hand,it removes the mysterious color of Zhuyou and Xingqi,while retaining the scientific connotation oriented from qi theory.On the other hand,Zuchang overcomes the drawbacks of emphasizing application over theory in research on intention and psychological suggestion,and absorbing the scientific methods of experimental research.Compared with other technologies that utilize the power of consciousness,Zuchang is more innovative and technologically disruptive.Therefore,in the chapter 3of this thesis,a theoretical system of Zuchang was constructed.Firstly,the connotation of Zuchang was elaborated by combining the theory of Qi in traditional Chinese medicine and culture with the field theory in modern science.Furthermore,the historical origins,quality training,operational processes,influencing factors,and practical significance of Zuchang were further discussed.4 Analysis of the Principle Mechanism of Zuchang In order to study the scientificity of Zuchang,based on the theoretical system of Zuchang in Chapter 3,Chapter 4 further explores the principle and mechanism of Zuchang based on Qi theory.This study believes that the establishment of the meaning of Zuchang logically requires three conditions to be met: firstly,Qi is an objective existence of non physical matter.Secondly,shen(mind,conciousness)is closely related to qi.Qi could be observed,regulated and effective by shen.Thirdly,the Qi Field possesses a cumulative effect.Compared with other consciousness effectiveness technologies,Zuchang emphasizes the effect of exerting Qi Field.Therefore,in this chapter,the focus is on the objective existence of Qi,the correlation between Shen and Qi,and the cumulative effect of Qi field,in order to demonstrate the principle and mechanism of Zuchang technology.5 Research on experimental methods of Zuchang To further study the scientific nature of Zuchang,it is necessary to conduct experimental research using Zuchang as intervention methods based on theoretical research and in accordance with scientific norms.The essence of Zuchang is to use the power of consciousness to regulate human life and external substances.During the process of Zuchang,the state of human life,especially the state of consciousness,plays a crucial role in the effect of Zuchang.Therefore,in the design of the group field experimental research scheme,the research object should not only include the experimental intervention object,but also the Zuchang experimental intervention personnel.The life state of Zuchang intervention personnel and the experimental effect of the experimental intervention object are interrelated.This experimental method is called the Bidirectional Association Experimental Method and is an important methodology of group field experiments.In Chapter 5,this thesis introduces the unique experimental method of Zuchang: Bidirectional Association Experimental Method.Takes the intervention of Zuchang on the proliferation ability of mesenchymal stem cells as an example to discuss the research objects,experimental tools,experimental methods,experimental processes,detection indicators,data processing,quality control,experimental results and analysis of Zuchang bidirectional association experimental process and operating standards.This study aims to develop a process and operational specifications for the team’s next stage of Zuchang experiments using the bidirectional association experimental method,and promote the scientific development of Zuchang technology.Conclusion:The Encyclopedia of China(The second edition)mentions the essence and characteristics of science.The characteristics of scientificity can be summarized as:(1)Objectivity and authenticity;(2)Self consistency and coherence of logic;(3)Theoretical guidance;(4)Proveability.Through the discussion of the scientific nature of Zuchang in five aspects,it can be seen that Zuchang possess the characteristics of scientificity.Firstly,the application and experimental research of Zuchang and the four major consciousness effectiveness technologies at home and abroad have shown that consciousness indeed has potential power and effectiveness.This is an objective fact and a real phenomenon.Secondly,the theoretical system of Zuchang constructed in this thesis is consistent with the Qi theory in terms of theoretical meaning,mechanism,technical quality training,and operational process.In particular,the three stage model of the objective existence of Qi,the correlation of Qi and Shen,and the cumulative effect of Qi field is used to explain its principle and mechanism.Which is logically self-consistent and coherent.Thirdly,this thesis proposes the bidirectional association experimental method for Zuchang experiments and formulates the process and operational specifications for Zuchang experiments.With the aim of conducting Zuchang experiments in a more scientific and standardized manner to prove their theory and effects,which are provable.Fourthly,Zuchang has a relatively complete theoretical system.And its technical training and operational procedures are relatively standardized,which can effectively guide ordinary people to master the technology in a short period of time.Its experimental process and operating steps are also relatively standardized,which can guide experimental personnel to conduct Zuchang experiments more scientifically.At the same time,the theory of Zuchang can scientifically and reasonably explain the principles and mechanisms of the techniques of Zhuyou,Xingqi,psychological suggestion,and mental power.Therefore,Zuchang has theoretical guidance.In summary,Zuchang possesses scientific nature.Without doubt,Zuchang,the innovative theory and technology based on the theory of Qi in traditional Chinese medicine needs to be recognized by contemporary mainstream science and widely applied,still has a long way to go.It is also necessary for interdisciplinary researchers to constantly enrich and improve their theories with a pragmatic and scientific spirit.At the same time,it is necessary to conduct more extensive,rigorous,and repeatable Zuchang experiments according to experimental specifications to obtain recognition from the scientific community. |
