Modern Medical Model and Unity of Contradictions of Traditional Chinese and Western Medicine / 国际中医中药杂志

ABSTRACT

Cultures of traditional Chinese and Western medicine are the different ones of a same kind (medicine) but from the different sources. Their respective advantages, complement and unity are rooted in the differences of the two distinctive cultures. Preventive- biomedical - psychological -social behavior patterns of medicine is a unity of contradictions. Integration of what is different can generate the new while what is exactly the same can hardly be developed. A unity of contradictions of cognitive power is tending to a higher realm beyond both medicines.
