On the Natural Medical Features of Traditional Chinese Medicine

Heaven-human-earth Pattern (HHE) regarded as a crucial conception of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) has been applied extensively in TCM diagnostics, etiology, acupuncture therapeutics, materia medica and herbal formula, etc. It associates closely with Chinese classic cosmology. Since ancient time of China, many cosmic phenomena have been introduced to prove or illustrate TCM theories. Moreover, the five-element theory has been proven to be in keeping with some modern approaches of life provenance and life evolution. As a result, Chinese materia medica develops in a way of a pure natural medicine. It is of great significance that by realizing the natural features, the public nowadays can understand TCM better in its scientific connotations.     

Joint of Traditional Medical Science and Modern Medical Science——Medical Science of the Smell

Serving health of the human is the only purpose of any school of medical science. Traditional medical science is a summary of ancient medical science and modern medical science is an achievement of latter-day medical science, and both of them need developing, but it is impossible to run parallel with each other, so merging them should be done. Medical science is the natural science, which would be affected by region, nationality and culture that affected social science more greatly. Natural science has differences but not repels each other and not set contradictorily against. What is science？ Science is an inherent rule of development of nature; understanding to it has been always limited unavoidably. Regard the animal, plant and micro organism on the earth as a biosphere, struggle each other, will inevitably find the smell is the tie of binding three circles of living beings in interdependence, because the smell is the three circle only biological language that can all be understood of living beings, every living beings release smell as tool of information interchange, it＇s a pity that the view of ＂any life entity have sense of smell＂ is unknown to the public.

Concerning the Use of Western Medical Terms to Represent Traditional Chinese Medical Concepts——Answer to Prof. XIE and His Colleagues

This paper strongly rejects the notion that the use of biomedical terms to represent traditional Chinese medical concepts is helpful to the internationalization of Chinese medicine. It further argues that this practice destroys the integrity and independence of Chinese medical concepts. Taking the term风火眼feng huo yan as an example, it shows that the biomedical term "acute conjunctivitis" often suggested as the translation for this term is unsatisfactory, because (1) the clinical reference is not identical, (2) it introduces the concepts of "conjunctiva" and "inflammation", which are not Chinese medical concepts, and (3) destroys the Chinese medical concepts "wind" and "fire" expressed in the Chinese, which reflect the way the disease is traditionally diagnosed and treated. While for English readers not familiar with Chinese medicine, "acute conjunctivitis" may be immediately intelligible, for those seeking a deep understanding of the subject, the literal translation (loan translation) "wind-fire eye" is much more helpful. This paper supports these arguments with numerous other examples.
