Basic Theory Of Traditional Chinese Medicine And Complexity Of The Scientific Concept Of A Comparative Study

As the most valuable treasure in traditional culture, its substantial effect of Chinese medicine and pharmacy on prevention and treatment of diseases has long and expansively been warranted and its scientific value and abundant contents has been learning and disclosing step by step.Experimental methods which are rarely used in past history are introduced into learning and studying Chinese medicine and pharmacy in modern times which provide powerful instruments for its development and supplement its methodological insufficiency.Scientific meaning and contents contained in some theory of Chinese medicine are primarily uncovered through studying its fundamental theory by the way of experimental research. In the meantime, some new questions and dilemma are put forth in experimental studying which cause people to make second thoughts about how to profoundly explore its scientific meaning. Having common in questions existed in theoretical research indicates that experimental ways, methods and indices in western medicine are hard to directly be applied to expound scientific meaning of Chinese medicine.It is different thinking modes of Chinese medicine and western medicine implied under these phenomena which result from historic reasons. Different developing modes are applied in Chinese medicine and western medicine due to different cultural and scientific viewpoints in oriental and western countries. Different thinking modes are embodied in medicine. Total difference between thinking modes and observance methods existing in Chinese medicine and western medicine causes that it's hard for two medical systems to directly communicate and connect with each other in material stratum.Some general survey about the experimental studying in the theory of time, Zang-fu and Yin-yang in recent years was summarized and expounded in literature survey of this thesis. Different philosophical and scientific as well as technical background in Chinese medicine and western medicine indicates that there is total difference in two medical modes. Main scientific views originate from simple scientific view in western medicine in which thinking mode of decomposing and reduction is applied to explain physiological and pathological function on basis of anatomy and structure and material components of human body and structure of human body is paid more attention.Apart from out of structure, it learns medical questions of human body in whole, function and dynamic angle and applies for studying methods which judges the interior disorders by exterior manifestations such as symptoms and signs and takes whole data of human body into consideration to decide diagnosis and treatment in Chinese medicine. Medical theory resulting from this thinking mode is different from method ofanalysis-reduction.Studying methods applied in Chinese medicine have something to do with complicated science. Some thoughts such as that whole body and function is paid attention and syndrome-differentiation is emphasized in Chinese medicine etc are in accordance with thinking mode in complicated science. Present situations of experimental research in Chinese medicine show that new thinking mode is urgently needed to be introduced for profound studying of its scientific meaning and thoughts of complicated science will enlighten on the research about scientific meaning of fundamental theory in Chinese medicine...
