By comparing the differences between the East and West from it's origin, national culture and philosophy in order to explore our own way for the development of Traditional Chinese Medicine.The Origin of Chinese culture was developed in the inland river basin. Influneced by the geographical environment of the Asian farming, it's easy to form a closed, conservative and stable farming culture. In the endless, flat and stretching alluvial plain, watching sunrise and sunset, working at daytime and rest at night, the single structure of agriculture-based economy gives people a great reliance on the seasons,, and easy to have a strong sense of time.The regularity and periodicity of the unity of life and nature, making oriental peoples select a harmony thought to adapt nature. People and things between heaven and earth, people and people, things and objects, are organically linked together. Individual objects can not be existed in isolation, and can not be independently survived without other's help. All the things in the world are under the harmonization of yin and yang, rise and fall, and can be changed into each other. Isolated and individual yin and yang do not exist, which leads the whole doctrine of Chinese culture showing a cultural characteristics of holism and moral idealism, and ethics as a cultural orientation. The overall thinking and coupled with a unique savvy and experience, eastern culture has a profound philosophy and inherent, enduring charm.Professor Zhifu Zhao unites the ancient theory, which based on the Chinese medicine relationship of form and spirit, man and nature, takes the traditional internal organs and the eight principal syndromes dialectical as the foundation, combines modern psychosomatic medicine, and proposed the"Rigid-Gentle Syndrome Differentiation" of psychosomatic medicine of Traditional Chinese Medicine.Through repeated accumulation and clinical practice, sublimated from the emotional to the rational and continuous systematization, and ultimately the medical theory system with Chinese characteristics was concluded. In this paper, chosing gallbladder distention as the starting point to explain the "Rigid-Gentle syndrome differentiation" in clinical application. The theory, which is practical and easy to use,will promote better combination in disease and dialectical syndrome, worth to be popularized. |
