The real advantage of TCM is its efficacy. Curative effect is the hard truth. Therefore, in the modernization of traditional Chinese medicine must adhere to the characteristics of traditional Chinese medicine in the clinical use of traditional Chinese medicine thinking, syndrome differentiation, to avoid the full Westernization.

At present, the tasks and responsibilities of Chinese medicine workers are as follows: adhere to the overall concept, differentiation of syndromes and the basic characteristics of three factors should not waver. The modernization of traditional Chinese medicine must not abandon its own roots, annihilate its own characteristics and advantages, and must not shave its feet. Otherwise, the skin does not exist, Mao will be attached?

Nowadays, views on the modernization of Chinese medicine can be found everywhere in the press. However, some so-called “modernization” that abandon the foundation of Chinese medicine is actually Westernization. On the surface, "Going to join the West," or "integrating Chinese and Western medicine," is actually "sincerity in the Western Participation in the Central Plains," and even "abandoning the West" has lost its Chinese characteristics.

For example, replacing Western medicine's "differential disease" with the complex "dialectic differentiation" of Chinese medicine is very inappropriate. Chinese and Western medicine are two different medical systems. Chinese medicine emphasizes dialectical treatment, not only because of the time, place, and people, but also with the change of the disease, development, and the use of drugs. Therefore, we must not respond to a disease in one way or fix one or several protocol prescriptions to solve practical problems.

There are modernization of traditional Chinese medicine Western medicine, fever infection, detoxification, constipation, use of drugs containing chrysophanol, heart failure to use drugs with strong heart palpitations. Such western use of Chinese medicine is free from the clinical practice of traditional Chinese medicine and cannot reflect the inherent efficacy of traditional Chinese medicine. The failure of Yin Qiaosan to dominate the four seasons' exogenous feelings and the treatment of dead people by Japan's Xiao Chai Hu Tang is the result of violating the principles of TCM syndrome differentiation and treatment.

Some people say that quantification and objectification are modernization. Over the years, the country has used a large amount of human and material resources to conduct animal simulation experiments, quantifying the syndromes of traditional Chinese medicine, and objectively researching. Micro-indicators of TCM syndromes have also been reported frequently but have little effect on clinical promotion.

Traditional Chinese medicine emphasizes the differentiation of Xiaochaihu Decoction: "But if you see a card, you don't need to be aware of it." Sometimes the clinical practice of TCM is based on the symptoms and symptoms, and sometimes it is necessary to give birth to the symptoms. Cold Syndrome, Real False Deficiency, True False Reality and other complex situations. Therefore, dialectical has a very strong flexibility. The specification of machinery cannot replace the rich dialectical content. Therefore, Chinese medicine cannot absolutely seek to quantify and objectify.

Some people have denied the efficacy of TCM in terms of statistics that “cases cannot explain the whole”. It is believed that Chinese medicine must prove statistically effective when it is necessary to prove its effectiveness. Statistical treatment is the modernization of traditional Chinese medicine. However, in clinical practice, it is difficult to encounter two patients with the same physical conditions, etiology, clinical symptoms, and disease course. If statistical processing is required, this will lose the significance of comparison.

Of course, the treatment principles of Chinese medicine can also be verified. As long as the dialectical agreement, you can use the same treatment principles, or even the same prescription to treat. In the final analysis, it is still the same as "simultaneously verifying and punishing the same laws and regulations," and "differing from one rule to another in different ways. Therefore, we cannot deny the role of statistical processing, but we must pay attention to the specific analysis of specific issues and we must understand the value of Chinese medicine cases. Cases reflect the repetition of dialectic, not the repetition of disease differentiation; it is the repetition of treatment principles, not the repetition of one drug.

Although modern medicine has developed into a medical tool that all humans depend on, the Chinese medicine is still a uniquely attractive medical system. In foreign countries, Chinese medicine has blossomed and is very popular; especially those who come to China to study Chinese medicine have the most. What does this show? it goes without saying.
