If Zhou Yi proves to be only a history book, will the cornerstone of TCM theory collapse?

Zhou Yi is a very old book, and the theory of Chinese medicine is only borrowed from the ideas of Zhou YiMany theories of TCM are practical and later developed and improved. During the Warring States Period, many Confucian scholars systematically sorted out the works of "Zhou Yi", and finally compiled them into a book as a whole, which became a Confucian classic, and slowly became easy to learn.

The classics, biography, and learning of Zhou Yi have always been firmly at the core of ancient Chinese scholarship, involving the construction of philosophical systems, the exercise of thinking ability, and even the observation of the universe, etc., which can be said to be a very basic work. It plays an irreplaceable role in forming the characteristics and connotations of Chinese culture.

Zhou Yi also has a lot of roles in the field of medicine, the materialist view of nature and the five elements theory of traditional Chinese medicine in Zhou Yi, the dialectical thought in Zhou Yi and the "combination of movement and static, yin and yang complementarity" of traditional Chinese medicine have ideological unity and compensation.

The breadth and profundity of "Zhou Yi" is not only reflected in the field of medicine, astronomy and geography, humanities and feng shui, etc. are also involved in "Zhou Yi", if "Zhou Yi" is proved to be only a history book, then will the theory of Chinese medicine also be a set of untenable theories?

If "Zhou Yi" is a history book, then many theories of traditional Chinese medicine can be regarded as a kind of philosophical culture, and history and philosophy are completely linked, which is the crystallization of the overall thinking culture.

No matter what kind of book "Zhou Yi" is proven, history is philosophy, or astronomy, and the core ideas in it and the core ideas in Chinese medicine are not mutually exclusive, so the feeling here is that "Zhou Yi" is proven to be a history book, and the theory of Chinese medicine will not stand up.

Zhou Yi proved to be only a history book and did not have much impact on the cornerstone of TCM theory!

It turns out that Zhou Yi has been called a history book, but the cornerstone of Chinese medicine theory has not collapsed.

Zhou Yi and the theory of Chinese medicine are not in conflict, so whether Zhou Yi becomes a history book or not, it will not have any negative impact on the theory of Chinese medicine.

No, the theory of Chinese medicine has little to do with "Zhou Yi", and the purpose of the theory of Chinese medicine is to cure diseases and save people.

I don't think the theory of Chinese medicine will collapse because of this book.

I don't think the cornerstone of TCM theory will collapse, because Zhou Yi's book is mainly about metaphysics.

Definitely not, because what they're talking about isn't one aspect at all, so it won't have an impact.

People have always known Zhou Yi as a metaphysical book, and I think it may collapse.

I feel that the relationship between the theory of Chinese medicine and Zhou Yi is not very large, even if there is no more, the theory of Chinese medicine still exists.

There are two interpretations of science: narrow and broad. In a narrow sense, science refers to the Western scientific tradition. The Western scientific tradition consists of two aspects, namely, the experimental or empirical scientific tradition and the mathematical scientific tradition.

These two scientific traditions finally merged in the 19th century to form modern science. In this sense, neither Zhou Yi nor Chinese medicine is a Western scientific tradition, so neither of them is a science.

Broadly speaking, science refers to the scientific spirit or scientific research paradigm. In fact, there is not much difference between the ancient Chinese scientific experimental scientific tradition and the ancient Western experimental scientific tradition, both of which are empirical knowledge obtained from production and life practice. Although there are differences between the ancient Chinese mathematical science tradition and the ancient Western mathematical science tradition, it is not as big as people think. Zhou Yi obviously also has a certain form of deduction of "mathematics, physics and chemistry", but it is different from the form of Western mathematics and logic.

For example, those of us who study mathematics know that although modern physics adopts the form of mathematical deduction, it is still based on certain physical assumptions, some of which are very strange, unimaginable, and incomprehensible to human experience, and it is not inferior to the fictional world of witchcraft. Modern science, in a sense, is also some kind of witchcraft or religion. In this sense, Zhou Yi as a mathematical science, and Chinese medicine as an experimental science, are also sciences, but they are different from Western science in form.

If we combine the two aspects of narrow sense and broad laughing number pure meaning, we can put forward a concept of "scientific degree" to compare the similarity between Zhouyi, Chinese medicine and modern science. Because, in modern civilization, Western science is the mainstream and foundation after all, and if you don't understand modern science, it's hard to say that you understand science. In this sense, Zhou Yi and Chinese medicine both have a certain degree of scientificity, but Zhou Yi is obviously much less scientific than that of Chinese medicine.

And things like the so-called cosmic holographic theory, the dialectical logic of the Heavenly Dao, and so on, are completely seemingly scientific rather than scientific.
