Science is completely backward. Why is only Chinese medicine "extensive and profound"? Find a solution

As long as it is an authoritarian system, Li must be the supreme power; As long as power is supreme, the whole society will be full of longing for power, and so will the so-called "official standard". "Officials, agriculture, industry and commerce" and "officials" should be the best. In an official-oriented society, only by mastering certain powers can we obtain corresponding wealth, status, career and glory. Therefore, almost every man, from a blond child to an old man with white hair, wants to fight for a crowded career. Now that society has progressed, the situation is a little better. But in ancient China, Huashan has been a road since ancient times. Official career is the "right path on earth" in people's minds. What are all walks of life outside the official career? That's just the humble livelihood of ordinary people. In the words of Master Lin, it's nothing! What is medicine in these fart industries? There is a ranking in the Book of Rites: "Wishing, history, archery, bending, medical skills, divination, all-around skills ..." It can be seen that the social status of doctors is similar to that of drivers and fortune tellers. Although it was an "ancient civilization", it started very early and was once ahead, but by the Ming and Qing Dynasties, China had fallen behind the West in the field of science and technology. One of the reasons is that the top talents in society have gone to squeeze their careers. Who would be stupid enough to make any invention? The medical field is no exception. In ancient China, there were neither formal medical research institutions nor specialized colleges for training doctors. How can there be talents who make Chinese medicine "extensive and profound"? Some people say that there were not many famous doctors in ancient times. I won't talk about this problem for the time being. Let's see who were engaged in the medical industry in ancient times. Generally speaking, doctors in ancient China can be divided into witch doctors, roving doctors, world doctors, Confucian doctors, Taoist doctors, monk doctors and imperial doctors. In the ancient Three Dynasties, there was no distinction between medicine and witchcraft, and "medicine and witchcraft were of the same origin". When people got sick, they turned to witch gods, that is to say, Chinese medicine was superstitious at the beginning of spontaneous tenacity, and for witch doctors; After the Qin and Han Dynasties, there appeared doctors who practiced medicine as their profession, but these people were just vagabond doctors who made a living by treating experienced people. There is also a "world doctor", that is, a family of Chinese medicine practitioners, an ancestral father, a father's son, and a son's grandson. This kind of inbreeding of "passing from male to female, from relatives to outsiders" will only lead to a crab that is not as good as one; After the Sui and Tang Dynasties, people had to pass the imperial examination to become officials, so some tried and tested people learned some medical skills to support their families in disappointment, euphemistically saying, "If you don't want to be a good doctor, you should be a good doctor." This kind of scholar eliminated by the imperial examination has become the backbone of traditional Chinese medicine, and for Confucian medicine. Because after all, they have read a lot of books, which can not only link the "Yin-Yang and Five Elements" with medical skills to fool people, but also recite Huangdi Neijing and synopsis of the Golden Chamber, which is much better than those wandering doctors of miraculous Taoism. For example, Li Shizhen of the Ming Dynasty gave up the idea of taking an official position through the imperial examination after three failed examinations. From then on, he devoted himself to studying medicine and wrote Compendium of Materia Medica, which is known as the "Grand Ceremony of Oriental Medicine". As for Taoist doctors and monk doctors, Taoist doctors and monks practice medicine, which is closer to witch doctors. The imperial doctor, also known as the imperial doctor, is said to have passed a rigorous examination when he was elected to the royal hospital. Generally speaking, they are doctors with a certain level. It can even be said that the imperial doctor represented the highest level of medicine at that time. However, I dare not compliment the doctor's level. I counted the life span of emperors who died of illness in Ming and Qing Dynasties. Among the 0/2 emperors who died of illness in Ming Dynasty/KLOC (excluding Wen Jian whose whereabouts were unknown and the emperor who was killed in Nanming, not including Emperor Chongzhen who committed suicide), the average life expectancy was only 44 years. The longest life span of emperors in China was in the Qing Dynasty (there was a long-lived emperor, Qianlong, who lived 88 years), and the average life span of ten emperors who died of illness was only 52 years. The average life expectancy of emperors who died normally in previous dynasties was even lower, only in their thirties. What's more, the doctors didn't even diagnose those emperors who died of illness. The records in the history books only used words such as "seriously ill", "seriously ill", "bedridden" and "suddenly", and then the emperor "collapsed". Let me talk about the so-called famous doctors in ancient times. China people have great respect for Bian Que, Hua Tuo, Zhang Zhongjing and Li Shizhen. In my opinion, the records of their magical medical skills in history books are mostly the products of hearsay and can't stand scrutiny. Now I often hear people say that there is a magical doctor. He is amazing! They may have accumulated a little experience in treating diseases and saving lives in some aspects, but the effect of this blind cat touching a dead mouse is often infinitely magnified, and it would be even more amazing if it were written into the history books by literati. For example, in the biography of Hua Tuo in the Three Kingdoms, it is clearly recorded that Hua Tuo can perform surgery on people, open the chest and open the abdomen, clean up the internal organs and put them back into the abdomen, which is a major operation. Even if Hua Tuo had "Ma Fei San" and solved the anesthesia problem of the operation, the question is, does he master disinfection and blood transfusion? Traditional Chinese medicine has no concepts of virus and bacteria. Once a major operation is performed, the patient will not die of intraoperative blood loss, but also from postoperative infection. The fact is, by the end of the Qing Dynasty, Chinese medicine couldn't even diagnose a small appendicitis, let alone have an operation. Besides, Li Shizhen's Compendium of Materia Medica has little scientific and practical value today. It is hard to say that all the drugs recorded in it have passed clinical trials, lacking rigorous academic attitude and at least scientific spirit. In Li Shizhen's eyes, all substances in the world are traditional Chinese medicine. Some things, as long as people with normal thinking, can see at a glance that they are ridiculous, but Li Shifu solemnly recorded it as a panacea. For example, "pig manure" can cure many diseases such as children's night crying, children's vulva swelling, women's bloody collapse, baldness and alopecia, ten-year malignant sores, labial nucleus and so on. Believe it or not, readers can read this "Medical Code" in person, especially the "Human Resources Department"! After reading it, you will know that we are all treasures and the whole human body is Chinese herbal medicine. There are dozens of things that can be used as medicine-human yellow, human white (that is, the sediment in the urinal), hair, bones, nails, saliva, milk, tears, sweat, body dirt, placenta, menstrual blood, penis ... all are medicines! What other hanging ropes, women's foot binding, and mud on the soles of feet are all panaceas for treating diseases! It is suggested that friends who are superstitious about Chinese medicine take a closer look at this "Encyclopedia of Drugs", and you will find more funny and grotesque things. What makes me wonder is that no one says that China's ancient chemistry is "extensive and profound", China's ancient physics is "extensive and profound" and China's ancient biology is "extensive and profound" ... How can China's medicine be "extensive and profound" alone? If you want to make a subject profound, you must have a large number of creative talents to make this subject profound. If China's imperial examination focuses on medicine, it may bring great progress in medicine and make Chinese medicine "extensive and profound". Unfortunately, the imperial examination is about "Four Books and Five Classics", which is a writing skill. Medicine has always been excluded from the "upper nine streams". For two thousand years, in China, no matter witch doctors, wandering doctors, Confucian doctors, world doctors, Taoist doctors and monk doctors, they are basically wandering doctors and quacks. There are few opportunities for them to learn from each other, exchange experiences and make progress through cooperation. Even if there is such an opportunity, they are regarded as "enemies" and keep the so-called secret recipe as secret as "turtle treasure" In science and technology, without extensive exchanges and cooperation, how can we make progress and reach a profound level? In recent years, some anti-TCM people have taken pains to explain the backwardness of TCM with some specific medical records and drugs, which is actually unnecessary! Only with a little macro analysis can smarter people make correct judgments. Last year, I wrote several blog posts criticizing TCM. For example, TCM is only the primary stage of medical development, and the top ten quips of TCM. TCM killed Sister Lin, so it should be treated with caution. Looking at the level of TCM from the life span of the three countries, what is the disease of China's dying emperor? ",and so on. It was originally a matter of different opinions, but it attracted some people's abuse. I understand if all the people who come here are taking Chinese medicine. What I don't understand is that some people who know nothing about Chinese medicine come to abuse them because they are superstitious about Chinese medicine. You are superstitious about Chinese medicine, even if you believe it, I won't force you not to believe it. There's no need to curse in a hurry. Your body is your own. It doesn't matter if you believe in Chinese medicine, Mongolian medicine, Tibetan medicine or even witch gods, as long as you can cure diseases! If the wizard can cure diseases, you should call for vigorously developing the wizard industry. At least, it will open up another road to employment. Good thing! However, I also have the freedom not to believe in Chinese medicine and to express my views on Chinese medicine. Ye Jia said with a smile, she is destiny takes a hand. I don't care if others believe it or not!
