Concept and Logic:Analysis of the Origin of Differences between Chinese and Western Medicine
LU Yubin
Abstract：Based on the theory of the science of science,the difference between the beginnings of the bio-medicine and traditional Chinese medicines(TCM) was analyzed. It is held the atomic theory from ancient Greece determined that bio-medicine would on anatomy and reductionism ,while TCM emphasize more on movement and connection based on traditional Chinese philosophy like qi theory. For this reason ,there exists a huge gap between these two systems. Any modern study on TCM should put enough value on the subjec-tivity of TCM. It is unwise to regard modern research as the only way to develop TCM while to neglect the own development of TCM.
