Features: This book places medicine back into its humanistic context of birth and survival, attempting to conduct a panoramic examination. From another perspective, this may also help to address the widespread lack of humanistic knowledge in today's medical schools. Methodology is an abstract yet broad concept, encompassing numerous issues, including philosophical concepts, humanistic thought, scientific theories, diagnostic practices, interpersonal skills, and the design and practical operation of scientific experiments, among other topics. Yet methodology is objectively real, vibrant, and omnipresent in its functioning. This book does not aim to present it in a dull, dry, and dogmatic manner. Therefore, it covers a wide range of topics, from philosophy to art, from concepts to thoughts, from clinical practice to medications, from the interrelationships of single issues, and strives to explain these relatively monotonous theoretical problems in a relaxed and unhurried tone. It hopes that after reading, the audience will gain insights, make connections, be moved, or even be inspired to stand up and cheer. Only in this way can it encourage people to engage in rational reflection on the deeper issues of methodology in traditional Chinese medicine.
