Reviving Traditional Chinese Medicine

If you're going to study Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), then at least provide a TCM background, okay? Why insist on going to a prestigious foreign university and then coming back to practice TCM? Don't you think that's ridiculous? Or are you saying that TCM abroad is better than TCM in China? That the grass is always greener on the other side?

Before even opening the novel, I went straight to the comments section because I knew there would be arguments under this kind of novel. Sure enough, it was a heated debate. While everyone understands some things, I feel that sometimes explanations are necessary; otherwise, poor communication only leads to pointless arguments.

One of the reasons for the decline of Traditional Chinese Medicine **Training System:** Traditionally, the transmission of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) knowledge relied primarily on the master-apprentice system. Apprentices initially learned to prepare and identify medicinal herbs under the guidance of their masters, a process that took several years.

The slogan of revitalizing Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) has been around for many years, but now there are fewer and fewer pure TCM practitioners, more and more practitioners combining TCM and Western medicine, and countless charlatans using the TCM banner. There are many reasons for the decline of TCM. I believe the most important are: First, efficacy.

The only book on traditional Chinese medicine that I can read is *Xu Yang's Traditional Chinese Medicine*. Sigh.

Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) is categorized by ascending and descending, floating and sinking, principal and assistant herbs, and yin and yang and the five elements. I laughed when I saw Western medicine using chemical analysis and molecular extraction to study TCM. It seems I'll be writing about using ginseng leaves instead of ginseng in the future 😁😁😁.

Overall, the emphasis on the theme of traditional Chinese medicine was done quite well. But I'm sorry, I couldn't stand it after Wang Hongmei was kept behind. In my mind, there's no difference between selling fake medicine and fake masks; both are murder for profit, and there's no question of any extenuating circumstances.

I gave up after reading dozens of chapters. As a traditional Chinese medicine practitioner, how can you cure diseases by not using the principles of "principal, assistant, adjuvant, and guide" in your prescriptions, regardless of the patient's cold or hot constitution, or by extracting chemical components from herbs without considering their sour, sweet, bitter, spicy, or pungent properties?

Stop using Western medicine's methods to argue about Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). The decline of TCM, fundamentally speaking, stems not only from a shortage of experienced practitioners but also from a group of self-righteous experts using Western medical frameworks to interpret TCM.

The book's title is wrong, which shows the author's complete lack of understanding of medicine. Medicine only distinguishes between modern and ancient medicine; there is no distinction between traditional Chinese medicine and Western medicine.
