如何看待中国传统医学 hchung332021-07-27 02:23:25
关于中医是不是能够用科学解释，是否属于自然科学是一个有争议的问题。也涉及到中国古代是否只有技术，没有科学？今见到一篇纯学术性论文，对此重要争议，利用自然科学的实验并进行了数学表达。大致内容如下：
针灸和按摩是两种有助于缓解症状和保持健康的方法。经络学说和子午流注学说（zǐwǔ liú zhù）是中医的两个重要基础。通过物理学实验将穴位用数学坐标表达可以清楚的看出穴位的内部情况，了解穴位的特性。
经脉在体内循环是针灸和按摩的基础。在体内循环必须通过关节。关节会不会影响经脉的远行，又如何能够降低影响。实验得到，人体四肢（如肘、膝、臀部等）的关节面的形态与解剖学上的滑膜关节不同。因此，关节的影响值得重视。
能够用数学工具表达子午流注学说。可作为医学临床治疗和护理的参考。
穴位与人体的内在节律有关。如果我们正确地执行人体的内部节律，就会获得自我调节的好处。为此，我们应该充分发挥人体的内在能力，抵御外界对人体造成伤害的刺激或利用刺激来维持整体健康。
这是纯学术问题，实验结论只能用实验数据发展，现分享。如果对此问题有兴趣，可阅读以下对原文的转载。
Theoretical Discussion on Human Life Activity :
Discussions on Acupuncture and Traditional Chinese Medical Theory
Abstract:
Human health development cannot manage without the assurance of medicine. Acupuncture and massage are two methods that help alleviate symptoms and maintain health. Meridian (Jing-Luo) and Midnight-noon and ebb-flow doctrine (zǐwǔ liú zhù) are two important foundations of Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM).
In this article, the main experimental point is the lowest electric resistance point under the skin. Many lowest electric resistance points under the human skin are like a spatial net covering the human body. Through this report, we can understand how to determine the best position in the acupuncture point area, why acupuncture on the left acupoint of the human body can relieve the symptoms of the right part, and why acupuncture on the acupoint of the human's foot can relieve the symptoms of the toothache and sore throat, as well as show the relationship between the stimuli and the inside of the human body.
The circulation in the body is the basis of acupuncture in TCM. For the Meridian channel to circulate in the body, it must pass through the articulations. Will the articulations that connect the body's limbs affect acupuncture and Meridian channels? We must consider whether or not the articulations of the limbs hinder the circulation of our bodies. The morpho of the articular surface that connects human limbs (such as elbows, knees, buttocks, etc.) is different from the synovial joints in the anatomy.
According to Midnight-noon and ebb-flow doctrine, this article uses mathematics to express the connotation of Midnight-noon and ebb-flow doctrine with the prosperous angle and the degree of prosperity as indicators. This can be used as a reference for clinical treatment and nursing.
The lowest electric resistance point under the skin is related to the internal rhythm of the human body. If we correctly implement the internal rhythm of the human body, it will gain the benefit of self-regulation. For this reason, we should fully maximize the human body’s internal capabilities to defend against external stimuli that harm the human body or use stimulation to maintain overall health.
Key Words:
acupuncture, Meridian point, Meridian line, morpho of the knee, prosperity angle, Inner rhythm in the human body, Midnight-noon and ebb-flow
Introduction
Human health development cannot manage without the assurance of medicine. Prof. H. C. Chang (CAMS) proposed in 1959 that the Meridian is an independent system and doctrine in the human body. He laid the foundation for Meridian science1, 2, 3. In 1963, Prof. H. C. Chang established the Institute of Meridian (Acupuncture) in the China Academy of Chinese Medical Sciences. Prof. R. J. Chang (PKU) conducted systematic experimental research on the Meridian. He first proposed the lower resistance Meridian, and established a new discipline of Meridian science4, 5. On this basis, we use the results of scientific experiments to explain acupoint, the Meridian channel (jīngmài), and the Midnight-noon and ebb-flow doctrine of TCM. Due to the influence of the universe as well as the earth rotating day and night, the inner rhythm of the human body is produced. The internal rhythms of the human body coexist with life and can affect internal organs.
To be precise, the acupoint should be a small area. This report describes the physics aspect of the lowest electric resistance point in humans, the lowest electric resistance line in humans, the lowest electric resistance space net in humans, and the mathematical expression of the Midnight-noon and ebb-flow doctrine of TCM.
The limbs of the human body are connected with articulations. Articulations are in direct contact with the surfaces of bone endings, and there is no fixed bone to connect them.
Realizing the internal rhythm of the human body and maintaining health can be achieved through the system with physics characteristics in the human body, including the lowest electric resistance space net distribution. The internal rhythm of the body is directly related to health. It is of great significance to life sciences and medicine.
Acupuncture, massage, acupoint, Meridian channel (Meridian line) , Collateral, Meridian, Meridian channel circulation, Vessel, Yin, Yang, and Midnight-noon and ebb-flow doctrine are all terms in TCM. There were improper understandings of nouns in TCM in the past, as well as translation errors. For example, meridian and meridians are actually two separate nouns in Chinese. When translated into Chinese, the meridian should mean the earth's meridian, apex, pole…… The lines on the surface of the Meridian copper man do not represent longitude and latitude, and there is no longitude and latitude on the human body. In ancient times, Meridian line refers to the connection between the Meridian points related to the same internal organ and the mutual connection with the Meridian points in the body. Therefore, the translation of meridian, meridians, channel of TCM should instead be the Meridian line (Meridian channel).
The Meridian is a term. It is a singular noun with no plural form. Meridian is a system inherent in the human body. The terms Meridian(capitalized) and meridian(lowercase) describe two completely different concepts and should not be confused with each other. In this report, we use the Meridian, Meridian channel (line), and the Collateral respectively. The Collateral is one kind of Meridian channel. The Meridian channel is the line that is connected by the lowest electric resistance points under the skin at different positions in the human body. Non-English nouns in the article only appear in parentheses after English nouns.
Acupoint is the basis of acupuncture, massage, et al. The acupuncture points of the human body can be divided into three categories：
1. Acupoints on the fourteen main Meridian channels.
2. Outside the fourteen main Meridian channels, with clear locations and independent acupoints.
3. Pain points (The human body's positive feedback points)
Human acupoints are the two-way feedback points of the human body6, 7.
The measured value in the area of human Tsusanli acupoint3, 8, 9, 10.
Materials:
The experiment's subject is including healthy people of different genders (including the author) and animals such as rabbits, cats, and dogs.
Methods:
1. The 4-electrode method was used to measure the subcutaneous electric resistance of the human body4, 5, 8:
Using the 4-electrode method to measure the subcutaneous electric resistance of human limbs and torso, it was found that the lowest electric resistance point is at the subcutaneous depth of about 2 mm. Next, all points 1cm apart from each other in horizontal and vertical directions of the human limbs and torso were measured, and the value of the electric resistance under the skin was recorded. Then, the points of the lowest resistance values were longitudinally connected into lines. In the electric resistance experiments conducted on dogs, cats, rabbits, and other animals, these subcutaneous lowest electric resistance points were also present.
2. The JS-P-1 was used to measure the subcutaneous electric resistance of the human body3, 8.
The subcutaneous electric resistance values of humans and experimental animals (dogs, cats, and rabbits) were measured by the pulse electric method.
Results:
The relationship between the lowest electric resistance point and the acupoint area of TCM: When the acupoint is stimulated, there is no blood or gas visible. Stimulating the lowest electric resistance point of the human body can produce two-way transmissions. After comparison, it is found that the lowest electric resistance point under the skin is exactly in the acupoint area of TCM.
The relationship between the lowest electric resistance line and the main Meridian channels: Additionally, the fourteen main Meridian channels (including two Collaterals) of TCM are found consistent with the fourteen lowest electric resistance lines.
The lowest electric resistance point under the skin and surrounding points in the acupoint area: Figure 1 shows the stimulation of the human Tsusanli (Zú sānlǐ, S36, S136, 36) acupoint's lowest electric resistance point and the surrounding points. For the experiment of the lowest resistance point under the skin, please refer to references3, 4, 5, 8, 9, 10.
