The Research On Regional TCM Schools Based On Data Mining Technology

Objective:In the long course of development of Traditional Chinese Medicine(TCM),many academic schools have emerged.The study of regional TCM schools has become an active and dynamic academic field in contemporary TCM circles.This topic systematically summarizes the research situation of regional TCM schools,explores the temporal and spatial distribution of research topics and the relationship between research topics,and reveals the characteristics and development laws of regional TCM schools through data mining of research literature of regional TCM schools.Methods : Previous studies on regional TCM schools mostly used qualitative methods,and this topic used the method of the combination of quantitative and qualitative methods.In this paper,CNKI database is selected to retrieve the journal research papers of regional TCM schools from January 1,1980 to December 31,2018,and exclude those papers that meet the exclusion criteria.Data mining is carried out on the collected documents;knowledge map is constructed based on the data mined,and research analysis is made.Results:1.The research situation of regional TCM schools from January 1,1980 to December31,2018:(1)Measurement results of distribution of research papers,coordinate maps and scatter distribution maps.(2)Measurement results and histogram of distribution of research institutions.(3)Measurement Results and Relations of Published Periodicals Distribution,chordal graph.2.The Summary of the Research on Regional Traditional Chinese Medicine Schools from January 1,1980 to December 31,2018:(1)Measurement results of high frequency keywords and tree Diagram.(2)Overall keyword co-occurrence network atlas and analysis results of six regional schools of traditional Chinese medicine.(3)Scatter plot of time distribution of physicians as key words in research papers of six regional schools of traditional Chinese medicine.(4)Measurement and scatter distribution map of the native place of doctors as key words in six regional TCM research papers.3.The branch of research on local Chinese medicine schools from January 1,1980 to December 31,2018:(1)Key word co-occurrence network map and analysis results of six regional TCM schools reconstructed from the perspective of academic thought.(2)Key word Co-occurrence network map and analysis results of six regional TCM schools reconstructed from the perspective of school doctors.Conclusion:1.The research situation of regional TCM schools:(1)More and more attention has been paid to regional TCM schools in recent ten years,and the studies of Xinan school and Menghe school are heated topics.(2)The academic influence of a regional TCM school is mostly limited to its area.(3)Universities of TCM and their relevant institutions are the main force of the research on regional TCM schools.2.Factors of formation and development of regional TCM schools:(1)Academic ideology,doctors and regional environment are main factors of formation and development of regional TCM schools.(2)Main factors of formation and development are emphasized differently in different regional TCM schools.3.Academic ideologies of regional TCM schools:(1)Academic ideologies occupies core position in regional TCM schools.(2)TCM classics are highly praised and applied flexibly in regional TCM schools.(3)Academic features of different regional TCM schools are listed.4.The doctors of regional TCM schools:(1)The study of regional TCM schools mostly focuses on the school figures.(2)Characteristics of doctors of different regional TCM schools are listed.5.The temporal and spatial distributions of regional TCM schools:(1)The concentration of regional TCM schools in Huijiang,Zhejiang and Shanghai isgreater than that in other regions.(2)Features of temporal and spatial distributions of different regional TCM schools are listed.(3)The birthplaces of regional TCM schools have obviously higher numbers of doctors than other places.(4)Regional economic and cultural prosperity can promote the formation and development of a regional TCM school,and also has great influence on the distribution of doctors.(5)The distribution of leading doctors is related to the regional economic and cultural prosperity cycle.6.Communications between regional TCM schools:The doctors of Xinan,Menghe,Shanghai and Wumen schools are intertwined and distributed in Anhui,Jiangsu,Zhejiang and Shanghai,which makes a great convenience for communication.7.Cultural significance of regional TCM schools:With the development of regional TCM schools,the generality of schools is no longer only reflected in academic thought and theory,but also in cultural connotation.
