ABSTRACT
The life view of "human life is the most important" in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) originates from the people-oriented theory of Chinese traditional culture, the benevolence thought of Confucianism, the rebirth thought of Taoism and the compassion thought of Buddhism. Taking the life view of "human life is the most important" as the starting point, it has formed medical ethics thoughts such as the social responsibility of saving the world, the medical practice purpose of treating all patients equally, the meticulous working attitude, the diligent and tireless learning attitude, and the exploration spirit of widely exploring the medical roots, which still has important educational significance. Therefore, the life view of "human life is the most important" should be integrated into the medical ethics education of medical students, and the medical ethics literacy of medical students should be improved through the following ways: strengthen the vocational ideal education of saving the dying and healing the wounded, and enhance the sense of social responsibility of medical students; consolidate the theme of life first classroom education and improve the professional identity of medical students; enrich and innovate the practice forms of protecting life, pay attention to the practicality of medical ethics education.
ABSTRACT
Finding a way of life education with Chinese characteristics and making up for the shortcomings of life education, which should become a major issue for the in-depth study of COVID-19 epidemic prevention and control in China. Marx’s view of life is a correct and scientific view of life, which is not only the guiding ideology of life education, but also the important resources for life education. While criticizing the views of life and death based on the western philosophy of life, it can also overcomes the limitations of Chinese traditional view of life. In the epidemic prevention and control, the in-depth study of Marx’s view of life will help to promote the practice of life education, enable people to establish a correct and scientific view of life and obtain the life sublimation in life practice.
ABSTRACT
The view of life in Huang Di Nei Jing discusses the essence of human life by exploring the origin, structure and existence of human life, elucidates the overall quality of human life by observing the state and length of human life, and summarizes the characteristics of human life by analyzing the commonalities and unique characteristics of human life with other lives. On the one hand, this life view respects the objectivity and regularity of life, and enabling people to calmly face death but actively seeking higher possibilities of life, which reflects the reasonable self-awareness of ancient doctors towards human life. On the other hand, it affirms the intrinsic value of life, advocates meeting the subjective value of life and pursuing the external value of life, and expresses the self-pursuit of exploring the existence value of human life, which makes the life view in Huang Di Nei Jing quite humanistic. This humanistic life view has important reference significance for modern medical practice. Reasonable absorbing the humanistic spirit of the life view in Huang Di Nei Jing is conducive to the return of modern medicine to the medical essence of saving the dying and healing the wounded, as well as the establishment of the medical value of people-oriented.
ABSTRACT
Epicurus’ view of life and death is based on the atomism of naturalism and the epistemology of sensationalism in ancient Greek. He advocated that people should face death calmly, and separate death from the pain of feeling by explaining the true meaning of death to break people’s fear of death. He claimed that people should face desires with rational thinking and pursue a happy life. His view of life and death helped people to treat life and death rationally, alleviate death anxiety, make people actively face the difficulties in life, correctly identify desires and needs, and help individuals pursue a healthy and happy life.
ABSTRACT
Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), a theoretical medical system founded about three thousand years ago, originated from the richness of Chinese culture with the support and development of ancient astronomy and the Taoist philosophy of heaven and man. It has revealed many mysteries and illuminated interactions between nature and human beings. Those mysteries have not been easily understood by the public because TCM's conceptual system differs in form and essence from modern sciences. In modern times, some of the mysterious processes have been gradually discovered or confirmed by an advanced science: quantum physics. Quantum science is considered to break through basic concepts of mechanistic science, thus providing an entry to understanding of Chinese culture and TCM theories. Some experimental results of contemporary quantum physics shake the foundations of conventional scientific concepts. For example, quantum mechanics theory helps expand the limits of three-dimensional observations. It helps explain the phenomena that the consciousness with certain human functions interfere some experimental results. Viewing new things in a high-dimensional time-space framework helps people understand the real and virtual characteristics and their interaction; this leads to understanding the function of advanced human wisdom and intelligence in dealing with more complex objects (systems) such as the universe, the human body, life itself and consciousness. It may help people in developing simple models of the complex world and is believed more conducive to grasping the essence of human life and gradually removing the veil over many wonderful phenomena of Chinese culture and TCM. For example, TCM's 'Imagery Analogism' is attained in the quiet state of well-trained meditation practitioners. Their intuition and inspiration have significant advantages in understanding complexity of objects such as the universe, human body, life, and consciousness. The methodology of thinking helps to derive simple models so as to better grasp the essence of complex objects. Many phenomena of Chinese culture and TCM acupuncture remain incompletely understood. This paper selects a few examples to discuss, including human consciousness and sub-consciousness, human body's energy system, invisible qi, functional phenomena as well as special functions of the heart and Triple Energizer (Three Jiao) in six Fu organs. The 'new finding of an unrecognized interstitium in human tissues' as declared by a group of Western scholars is actually referring to Triple Energizer that had already been revealed and written in Huang Di Nei Jing (Yellow Emperor's Classic of Internal Medicine) three thousand years ago. Both the concept and functions of Triple Energizer have been utilized throughout TCM clinical practices. Through the discussion, the authors attempt to explain the superiority of TCM theories, to strengthen the confidence for TCM innovation and Chinese culture because they believe that offering an integration of TCM practice into the public health and life science would advance human wellbeing and pave a right path for TCM mission and development.
ABSTRACT
Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM),a theoretical medical system founded about three thousand years ago,originated from the richness of Chinese culture with the support and development of ancient astronomy and philosophy.It has illuminated many mysteries of nature and the human body.This has not always been easy for the layperson to understand.In modern times,some of these processes have been gradually discovered or confirmed by frontier science.The experiments of quantum physics have shaken the fundamental concepts of conventional science,refuting criticism of Chinese culture and TCM theories.The new discoveries have triggered a new understanding of TCM theories.For example,the theory of quantum mechanics interfering with certain human functions helps explain a series of phenomena that were previously difficult to understand.The veil of many wonderful phenomena of Chinese culture and TCM acupuncture has not yet been fully pierced.For example,the body's energy system,the invisible qi,and the phenomenon of consciousness and subconscious function remain mysterious.However,quantum theory and numerous scientific experiments can lead to the explanations of difficult problems which were not understood in the past.For example,the nature of the changes in yin and yang,and associated principles;the five-element principles;consciousness and sub-consciousness which might affect scientific experiments and treatment outcomes;the objective existence of qi and qi field;and the essence of the meridian system in the human body and the principles of acupuncture.This article explores the scientific principles of TCM and acupuncture.The unique characteristics of TCM and acupuncture position themselves as Eastern cultural treasures.The authors endeavor to strengthen readers' confidence in theoretical TCM and believe that it is a major step in integrating TCM acupuncture into modern science and medicine.
