In fact, in the final analysis, whether it is science or metaphysics, it is nothing more than people's different ways of understanding the real world......
No matter what kind of way of understanding the world, in essence, it is just a process of a blind man touching an elephant!
No one knows what the real world is like......
Therefore, you can only touch the world in a way that you can understand, and forcibly summarize some rules......
The so-called truth, in essence, is just this kind of inductive and summarized rules!
And the truth itself is not absolute, it is always relative, and the rules that are established in one environment may become unrecognizable in another environment!
It's very simple!
In the same way, the reason why Chinese medicine seems incredible and incomprehensible in the eyes of Western doctors is essentially because Western medicine can only use Western medicine's cognition of medicine to judge a medical skill, and from a scientific point of view, Chinese medicine is naturally a very unscientific existence......
Because it is not scientific, all nature will attract suspicion, and it will naturally make people feel unacceptable and incomprehensible......
However, judging whether a thing is reasonable from a scientific point of view is actually biased, and denying metaphysics from a scientific point of view is itself a kind of behavior similar to a black whistle.
Traditional Chinese medicine itself cannot be understood, in the final analysis, it is nothing more than because the theoretical system of Chinese medicine itself is based on the theoretical system of yin and yang and the five elements, which is similar to metaphysics, under such a system, only people who understand the theoretical system of metaphysics can be qualified to screen the medical level of a Chinese medicine, and if they do not have the ability to understand this theoretical system, then in fact, any comment is irresponsible......
There was once a great man who said that without investigation there is no voice!
The basis of the investigation is actually understanding, only by understanding, can we investigate, and only by passing the investigation can we have a certain say in a thing!

In a sense, in modern society, people have long been accustomed to judging the truth of a thing from a scientific perspective......
But in fact, judging metaphysical things from a scientific perspective is itself an unscientific thing!
Just like acupuncture in traditional Chinese medicine, in the eyes of Westerners, it is actually a completely incomprehensible metaphysical concept, the same reason, the so-called qi and blood, the so-called light gong, and the so-called internal strength in traditional martial arts, in the cognition of Western martial artists, are naturally completely ignorant things!
It's simple......
Whether it is Western medicine or Western martial artists, in essence, their perception of their own abilities is actually quantified in a scientific way!
In Western medicine, there are very clear indicators of the same disease, what kind of disease is easy to treat, what kind of disease is difficult to treat, as long as you look at the pathological indicators, you can see it at a glance......
In the final analysis, the severity of the disease itself is based on data, the essence of science is this kind of induction and summary at the level of data, the higher the degree of scientific development, the more detailed this induction and summary, especially the gene, as long as the research to a certain height, theoretically speaking, it can cure any disease......
In the same way, the same is true of Western martial artists, whose understanding of combat is actually based on data!
The more powerful these factors are, the stronger a martial artist's actual combat ability will be!
This is a very, very, very intuitive factor in judging the strength of a martial artist!
The essence of this concept is actually very simple in the final analysis, it is nothing more than that the better the physical fitness, the stronger the striking ability and the stronger the fighting ability, the stronger the fighting ability!
That is why all Westerners are actually very particular about the so-called heavyweights in martial arts!
Almost every martial arts master is a representative of a muscular body and a burly figure......
Because the muscles themselves represent strong explosive power and strong resistance to blows!
The stronger your muscles, the stronger your own strength will be!
Especially in a project such as boxing, the offense is always greater than the dodge, more often, the boxing competition is not the ability to kill with one blow, but the ability to exchange injuries for injuries, speed and skill, although it is equally important in boxing, but it is not decisive after all, what really determines the strength of a boxer, or the strength of both offensive and defensive ends!
A strong boxing champion, even if he withstands a few punches from his opponent, it is not a big deal, but as long as they punch the opponent, the opponent may fall to the ground, in such a fight, the role of speed and skill is actually very weak, and the physique is the fundamental factor!
If you have a strong physique, you will be able to withstand more attacks, and each attack will be able to cause more damage, which is a natural and powerful factor!
This is actually an innate advantage!
――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――― ――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――
In the perception of Westerners, the difference between body and physique in the innate sense is often an absolute gap!
To use an analogy, this disparity is like the impact of a basketball player's height on their talent!
In fact, basketball has always been a long-term sport since it was created, and the height of athletes is the main factor that fundamentally affects an athlete's talent.
Basketball has never been about selecting tall athletes before good skills, but on the contrary, it is about selecting athletes from the tall crowd!
Being tall enough can be said to be the most basic condition for becoming a basketball player!
After all, talent is invisible and intangible, but height is real!
Instead of investing resources in those so-called basketball geniuses, it is better to invest resources in those tall players, the acquired factors can be changed through hard work after all, and the innate conditions are innate, and the acquired conditions cannot make any changes at all......
In the same way, in the Western concept of martial arts, weight is a very important indicator of talent, just like physique!
Of course, of the two, physique is actually more representative than weight!
Weight is simply the weight of art, theoretically speaking, even a short person can make himself a fat person through overeating, with a very high weight, but this weight has nothing to do with this combat power at all!
In the true sense, what determines a martial artist's combat effectiveness is that his physique plays a decisive role, and his physique determines the upper limit of the muscles covered in a person's body, that is, on the basis of maintaining a basic body, while having the most developed muscles, this is also the state in which a martial artist can exert his strongest strength......
On the basis of maintaining the basic figure, the heavier a person's weight, the stronger the person's actual combat ability in martial arts!
This kind of strength has nothing to do with fighting skills, but only physical strength in a simple sense!
This is the reason why Western martial arts competitions or competition systems are divided into heavyweight divisions!
Only players in the same heavyweight class have the basis for competing skills, and the difference in strength between players in different heavyweights is actually very different! The difference in weight makes for a huge gap between each other on both offensive and defensive ends, and this gap is hardly something that Western martial arts skills can make up!
And only the highest-weight competition is often the most concerned competition, because where the competition is in this way, the boxing champion produced by the competition is the real boxing champion!

However, the fundamental reason why this kind of martial arts, or boxing match, is sought after in the West is simple......
First of all, the first point, because of the truth!
In the final analysis, such a battle itself is a kind of confrontation close to actual combat!
It's a duel between power, speed, and ability to resist hits!
Secondly, the second point is because it is intuitive!
People can intuitively see all kinds of data of the boxer, and can intuitively recognize the destructive power that the boxer has, so as to intuitively realize how powerful the boxer is!
These two points are things that traditional oriental martial arts do not have!
The traditional martial arts of the East rarely have actual combat competitions, and there is no intuitive data description, so it is naturally difficult to be truly convinced!
The most important thing is that in the traditional martial arts of the East, there are some so-called unscientific contents, such as the so-called cornices and walls, such as the so-called chickens and dogs, and the so-called internal strength, qi and blood......
In this way, to many outsiders, traditional martial arts naturally seem like a hoax......
There are even many people who wonder if the traditional Oriental martial arts really do not have any practical significance, and whether the so-called magic in the traditional Oriental martial arts is really a scam, and it is really a fake thing!
In fact, the reason for such doubts, in essence, is not difficult to understand, it is nothing more than because the vast majority of people lack sufficient knowledge of oriental martial arts in the traditional sense!
Unlike Western martial arts, there has never been a concept of so-called heavyweight in the actual combat of Eastern martial arts!
There has never been a concept of a height and weight gap!
On the contrary, in the traditional national arts, there are many battles to overcome opponents by leapfrogging over factors such as height and weight!
Because the traditional national art itself is an indiscriminate actual combat!
There is no need to choose an opponent, and there is no need to consider what kind of person the opponent is, what kind of martial arts he practices, what kind of background he has, and he does not need to be afraid of the gap in each other's body and physique!
The battle itself is based on actual combat, the winner lives, the loser dies, and there is no superfluous nonsense to talk about!
From another point of view, for the real Oriental martial artists, the purpose of their martial arts training is, in the final analysis, to smooth out the gap of innate factors, if because of the difference in height and weight, they can't beat the opponent, so what's the point of practicing martial arts?
