"treatise On The" History Of The Development Of Research In Taiwan

Taiwan is a beautiful island. Historically and geographically speaking, it is a very special place.It inherited the indigenous Chinese culture and continually absorbed the western culture at thesame time. Therefore, Taiwan could be considered as the confluence of the Chinese andwestern culture. The modern medicine in Taiwan advances on earth; meanwhile the traditionalmedicine gradually modernizes.Zhongjing is the core of the Chinese medicine, so the research on the development of traditionalChinese medicine in Taiwan may be started with it. The first paragraph of this disquisition wouldintroduce the situation of the traditional Chinese medicine in Taiwan with general history and tryto find when Zhongjing was delivered to Taiwan. Although there is no definite archives anddocument, the time is supposed to be in the Ming dynasty with some material.Then the second paragraph would systematically review, analyze, and criticize the situation ofthe research on Zhongjing in Taiwan. This disquisition would discuss with the research ofdocument and basic theory, the report of clinical investigation, and the result of laboratoryresearch. With the three aspects, it could be seen that Taiwan medicine is diligent and fruitful inthe research on Zhongjing which will develop better in the future.Before the 60's, the previous century, there was no Chinese medicine school in Taiwan,apprentices had to learn Chinese medicine from their tutors. The School of Chinese Medicine atChina Medical University was not established until 1966, hence, the specific examination inChinese medicine is necessary.
