Chapter 151: From the Tao to the Technique, the Doctors Feel It

Combined with his own experience of monasticism, Mo Fei was calm and eloquent on the podium of the venue.

For him, this is just a small scene, and with his current skills, it is naturally handy and more than enough to deal with it.

The cultural heritage of China has a long history, although it has also been in danger of being cut off because of the war and gunsmoke, but they have all persevered one by one and continued endlessly, and Chinese medicine is one of these splendid ancient cultural inheritances.

Although the Chinese civilization is broad and heavy, medicine, calligraphy and painting, painting, music, architecture, sculpture, and even health preservation belong to different categories, but they all contain common characteristics and embody an ever-present traditional Chinese concept.

For example, "the unity of heaven and man" is a basic proposition in traditional Chinese philosophy, which is not only one of the basic concepts of traditional Chinese medicine, but also the motto of Chinese painters.

For example, traditional Chinese medicine emphasizes the abstract spirit and spirit, and Chinese painting emphasizes the use of form to write God, both form and spirit, Chinese medicine should distinguish between the virtual and the real, and the basic treatment is to supplement the deficiency and purify the real, and the basic structure of Chinese painting attaches importance to seeking the void in the real and seeking the truth in the virtual.

It can be seen that although all kinds of ancient civilizations are diverse and colorful, there are inextricable similarities between different categories, even if they seem far from each other on the surface, but there are ancient humanistic ideas throughout the process.

In this article, Mo Fei used Taoism to discuss medicine, systematically expounding the main characteristics of ancient Chinese medicine.

Mo Fei said: "Chinese and Western medicine have their own strengths. In traditional Chinese medicine, the reason is too subtle and difficult for ordinary people to recognize, so it is often lost in the void.

Throughout the ancient Chinese medical works, it is inseparable from the traditional culture and Taoist philosophy such as the Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches, Qi and Blood Yin and Yang, the Five Elements Bagua, and the Unity of Heaven and Man. The theory of Chinese medicine is consistent with the origin of Chinese culture, which is to study the Tao first, and then to discuss medicine with the Tao.

The basic feature of Chinese medicine is the art of the Tao, which is fundamentally different from the art of Western medicine. ”

Although these statements have been occasionally mentioned before, they have never been as in-depth and detailed as Murphy suggests. It is very difficult to explain the characteristics of TCM "from the Tao to the art", and it is not easy to explain it in generalities, and the theory of TCM is already subtle, which makes it even more difficult to understand.

On this point, Mo Fei said with a smile: "To illustrate the topic of how the meridians were discovered by the ancient Chinese, the general view is that the meridians and acupoints are gradually formed through the long-term medical practice of the working people of our country, and the continuous observation and summary.

I think it's a bit far-fetched and loses its roots. Taoist ancestor Lao Tzu believes that there are two main ways of thinking for people to understand the world, that is, external seeking and internal seeking, that is, philosophical rationality and sensibility, so why don't we think that the theory of meridians may be the Taoist medicine in ancient times, and the unique inner Dan Gong method was practiced through guò, and the inner scene was reversed, which was discovered! ”

Zhang Zhongjing Zhang said with a smile: "The Yellow Emperor's Neijing is the earliest existing classic of traditional Chinese medicine, and there is a special discussion and research on the meridians, qi and blood in the book.

When I was lecturing to students, many people asked me how the ancients discovered the meridians thousands of years ago.

Now that science and technology are so developed, but there is no medical equipment that can embody the meridians of the human body, how did the ancients form such a set of systematic and micro theories?

Therefore, the view that long-term medical practice is actually pale in comparison. ”

All the Chinese medicine practitioners present heard the words of Mr. Zhang, and they all laughed, in fact, they had also been asked by students like this, after Mr. Zhang mentioned this, inexplicably poked the laughter of the old Chinese medicine experts, and it was difficult not to laugh.
