How to treat Chinese medicine fairly and rationally: Practice is the only criterion for testing truth. During the thousands of years before Western medicine was introduced to China, what did the Chinese people mainly rely on to prevent and treat diseases. Even today, when Western medicine is highly developed, traditional medicine in countries around the world such as Egypt, India, and Arabia has declined one after another, but traditional Chinese medicine still maintains its strong vitality. Facts speak louder than words: France published Chinese medicine books and used acupuncture to treat diseases as early as the 17th century. The World Health Organization clearly pointed out in the 2003 Global Traditional Medicine Development Strategy that traditional medicines such as acupuncture and traditional Chinese medicine are gaining widespread attention around the world and play an important role in human health care. Just imagine: How can a medicine with no curative effect and value be spread for thousands of years and still be full of vitality? You must know that medicine is not a trivial matter, it is a matter of life and death of human diseases. The most fundamental value of traditional Chinese medicine lies precisely in its curative effect, and having curative effect is the last word. It is precisely because of the unique and remarkable curative effects of traditional Chinese medicine that traditional Chinese medicine can be passed down and carried forward from generation to generation!

2. Look at the problems of traditional Chinese medicine objectively. No discipline in the world can be perfect, and Chinese medicine is no exception. Due to the constraints of social, historical, technological, cultural and other factors, the theoretical system of traditional Chinese medicine has a nearly closed structure, and is in an embarrassing situation where "outsiders want to understand, but they can't get in; if you want to make a breakthrough, you can't get out." Many ideas and theories of traditional Chinese medicine are relatively rough and general, and are mostly based on intuition or experience. "We only know what it is, but we don't know why it is." While we affirm the excellent curative effect of Chinese medicine on many diseases, we should also realize that Chinese medicine also has its own limitations in treating diseases. The curative effect of Chinese medicine on some diseases is not good, or even completely helpless and powerless. At the same time, we should also realize that due to historical limitations, Chinese medicine is inevitably mixed with some dross, and even has a color of idealism in some aspects. Even the classic works of traditional Chinese medicine are by no means golden and precise. These have undoubtedly restricted the development of traditional Chinese medicine to varying degrees and affected the public's views and evaluations of traditional Chinese medicine. 3. Treat Chinese medicine correctly and rationally. Regarding the topic of whether traditional Chinese medicine is scientific, I think the public should examine it rationally: neither blindly worship it nor easily deny it. It is undeniable that traditional Chinese medicine is a system where the best and the worst coexist. There is no doubt that we should discard the dross; we should absorb and utilize the essence; as for those contents that are currently difficult to understand, confirm or deny, we can temporarily leave them in doubt, pending further discussion and research. For those who do not understand traditional Chinese medicine, you can be skeptical, but please do not jump to conclusions and completely deny traditional Chinese medicine. Because many people misunderstand Chinese medicine precisely because they do not understand Chinese medicine, and thus come to the conclusion that "Chinese medicine is pseudoscience." For example, the theory of yin and yang and the five elements of traditional Chinese medicine. When many people see the words "yin and yang" and "five elements", they naturally associate them with "fortune telling" and "witchcraft", so they make certain conclusions. Chinese medicine is not scientific. In fact there is a misunderstanding here.

The theory of Yin Yang and Five Elements originally belonged to the category of ancient philosophy and was popular in Spring
