Traditional medicine is an experience-summary discipline. It finds rules from a large number of previous experiences, then experiments to correct theories based on results. As strong as , Li Shizhen, , it only integrates the experience of countless ancestors of traditional Chinese medicine and compiles it into "Compendium of Materia Medica". As the top traditional Chinese medicine doctor at that time, there are also prescriptions compiled by Li Shizhen without experimentation in "Compendium of Materia Medica", which shows it. Therefore, Lu Xun said that traditional Chinese medicine is a intentional or unintentional liar, not an unreasonable act. Li Shizhen is great, but it is irresponsible to compile ancient formulas into the "Compendium of Materia Medica" without verification.
0 The experience of previous generations is reliable and not reliable. Climate change, soil and water changes, biological evolution, and regional differences will all change the properties of traditional Chinese medicine - at the least, the dose in the "prescription" is inaccurate, and at the worst, it will be misleading people's lives. The longer the interval, the greater the possibility of deviation.
The ancestors have poems as evidence:
The first month The first month The Yinchen The Artemisia 2The Artemisia in February, and
Don't confuse the difference between the two.
In the first month of the Yinchen period can cure diseases,
February of the Xin Artemisia annua as firewood.
means that Artemisia annua can be collected in the first lunar month as a traditional Chinese medicine "Yinchen". After the first lunar month, it has to be used as firewood.
Thousands of years later, Ms. Tu Youyou of my country created the new antimalarial drugs artemisinin and dihydroartemisinin . Artemisia annua treats Chinese people well.

Experience summary medicine, in addition to traditional Chinese medicine, there are Tibetan medicine, Miao medicine, Buddhist medicine, ancient Indian medicine, etc. Facing the same problem.
Practice is the only criterion for testing truth . We also often say "result-oriented". Regardless of whether the science is scientific or not, being able to cure diseases and save people is a "proven prescription" and a good medicine.
I support traditional Chinese medicine. But I hope the traditional Chinese medicine community will take ancient prescriptions with caution. Even if 70% of the ancient prescriptions are good, the 30% of the ancient prescriptions that are not effective or even harmful are extremely terrible and must be eliminated.
I started to support traditional Chinese medicine by seeing the magical acupuncture.
Traditional medicine draws on Taoist theory and Easy to learn to form a theoretical system. I agree that if you don’t understand “ Yijing ”, you can become a good Chinese medicine practitioner.
The four classics of traditional Chinese medicine: " Huangdi Neijing ", "Difficult Classic", " Treatise on Fever and Miscellaneous Diseases ", and " Shennong Bencao Jing ".
"Huangdi Neijing" is divided into two parts: "Lingshu" and "Su Wen", and is the earliest medical classics in China (formed in Western Han ).
