The Rational Reflection Of The Teaching By Combining The Traditional Chinese Medicine And The Western Medicine

The traditional Chinese medicine and the western medicine develop in different cultural and social background. They share some similarities in their origins, which form the basis for their combination; while distinct differences also exist in their development, therefore it's necessary for them to be combined. And the method of how to combine is, just as the WHO (World Health Organization) claimed, " The first thing is to do the primary research into the education system."Actually, the combining teaching of the traditional Chinese medicine and the western medicine has already been put into to practice for many years. However, when it comes to their respectively separate and rather mature knowledge and sill system, the combining teaching can not be truly carried out, because of the "paradigm" theory that says the traditional Chinese medicine and the western medicine can not be conducted together. On the other hand, there're problems in the teaching aim, teaching requirements, teaching system and teaching staff, etc.; which directly leads to the teaching effect of being neither Chinese nor western, or just mixing them instead of combining. As a matter of fact, "uncombinability", studied from the perspective of scientific paradigm theory, only means that all the factors in one theory cannot be completely recurred into another. It does not at all indicate that there isn't any common or overlap between them. During the 21^st century, when the medical mode is shifting from biological medicine to biological-psychological-social medicine, more and more agreement will be reached in the great progress made in seeking the combination of recurring analysis method and systematic method. And this tendency of modern medical development determines that the combining teaching is not only feasible but also indispensable.At the same time, the combination of the traditional Chinese and the western medicine is not just a for, but a progressive process, shifting from teaching and instructing to disabusing, as well as a shift form the narrow sense to a broader sense. Therefore, its...
