How to understand the relationship between disease and health
Summarizing the contents of the previous article, we will find that there are differences in the exploration of diseases between Chinese and Western medicine in the following aspects: 1. Different answers to disease forms: The answer of traditional Chinese medicine is that disease is the phenomenon of attribute formation in the process of life. The answer of western medicine is that disease is a change in the form of material existence. 2. Different answers to the existing state of the disease: The answer of western medicine is that the disease is unhealthy, and health means no disease. In order to be healthy, diseases must be eliminated. The answer of traditional Chinese medicine is that disease and health coexist in the process of life, and life itself is the relative change process of health and disease. 3. Different answers to whether the disease is known: The answer of TCM is the knowledge circle theory that there is a coherent understanding between the known and the unknown. The answer of western medicine is to explore the unknown social practice that can only be achieved through scientific experiments. 4. Different answers to the origin of the disease: Western medicine answers that the origin of the disease is bacteria, viruses and pathogens. The answer of traditional Chinese medicine is that the motion of attribute system is restrained and thinned. To sum up, the differences in our understanding of diseases between Chinese and Western medicine reflect the different answers to the four most basic questions: the form of world formation, the state of world existence, whether the world is known, and the origin of the world. Therefore, western science has said that the highest theoretical exploration tool is philosophy. Only philosophy can solve these basic understandings of the world. But what is philosophy? Philosophy: It is a theory about the world outlook. A system of people's fundamental views on the whole world [nature, society and thinking]. People in different times have different understandings of nature in different times, and people with different social status will naturally have different understandings of the past society, the present society and the future society. It is impossible for people with different knowledge levels to fully understand and explore natural problems in nature. Therefore, the early stage of the formation of philosophy should be a hundred schools of thought contend, with different answers. It is the answer of the new era that replaces the answer of the old era, the answer of people with high social status, the answer of people with low social status who are unified by tyranny or violence, and the changing system in which the answer of people with high knowledge replaces the answer of people with low or no knowledge. Therefore, philosophy should be a rapidly changing hodgepodge of answers to the two most basic questions put forward by philosophy, which is composed of old and new, high and low, wisdom and stupidity. A hundred schools of thought contend with their own opinions. When Cang Xie created Chinese characters, he defined "zhe" as "upper folding and lower mouth". In other words, if you have a mouth, you can express your understanding or opinion about the inflection point of attribute movement. So it is not objective to say that China has no philosophy. Just entered the neo-Confucianism era prematurely. We can divide it into three periods. One is to replace the old times with the new era. We can express the renewal of our understanding of the world in this era from the progress of science, such as laying a stone and tying a rope, drawing a picture of rivers and the earth, and going through a week. Second, advanced knowledge replaces lower world epistemology. It should be the world epistemology and methodology that happened in the heyday of Zhong Ding culture, Tai Chi, Yin and Yang, Sanjiao ... Bagua Jiugong. The epistemology that people with high social status replaced people with low social status occurred in the era when Shang and Zhou culture was cut off by the theocracy of Zhou Dynasty. In 800 years, the Book of Changes spread to the world alone, which enabled China to complete the historical pioneering work of unifying people's understanding of the world by epistemology of people with high social status. Although the Spring and Autumn Culture still formed a philosophical era in which hundred schools of thought contended and a hundred schools of thought contended, under the tyranny of Qin Shihuang, people with high social status recovered their understanding of the world, while people with low social status unified their understanding of the world. The understanding of disease and health in Chinese and Western medicine is also influenced by the development of China's philosophy, which has produced modern Chinese medicine in China and western medicine. Under the conditions of two different epistemology and methodology in the same world, the cognitive theory of specific diseases and the cognitive theory of health were formed respectively. Then, how to understand the specific understanding of disease and health in the theory of traditional Chinese and western medicine, and how to get closer to the understanding of the origin of disease? Therefore, we have to go back to four ways to answer the two most basic questions raised by human beings: from four aspects: structural form, existing state, knowability and original exploration, we have to re-recognize diseases of different times, different social status and different knowledge levels. That is, we put forward the six-qi analysis method of old and new, high and low, wisdom and stupidity in this paper. Set yourself, set yourself, and explore the formation process of the core of attribute science. Judging from the development of eastern and western cultural systems. China culture has completed the neo-Confucianism unification of old and new, high and low, wisdom and stupidity in the philosophical category. Judging from the development of China's scientific theory system in modern times and its 5,000-year history, more and more things have been lost, but few things have been discovered. On the contrary, in the development of western scientific theories, we can see that the renewal period of the old and new theories is not very stable. From the geocentric theory to Heliocentrism, from the law of universal gravitation to the uncertainty principle in quantum mechanics, it is enough to show that the epistemology and methodology of western science have been updated several times in a short time. The change of world outlook over the past few hundred years shows that the fundamental problem is the instability of epistemology and methodology of understanding the world. The epistemology and methodology produced by China's view of the world of attribute science have gone through three stages of unification: old and new, high and low, and wisdom and stupidity, but they have entered a relatively stagnant state. However, their theoretical understanding of the world's specific scientific achievements, ecliptic calendar, ancient astronomy, astrology, traditional Chinese medicine and other basic sciences has not changed significantly except for their loss. On the contrary, the astronomical calendar in ancient China has been proved more and more by the development of western science. It's just that China people lost the essence of China's 5,000-year-old traditional culture and did nothing.
