Scientification as a Method"Why Is It Possible"and"What Can Be Done":Discussing the Transformation of Traditional Chinese Medicine by Science During the Era of the Republic of China
Scientification as a method of transforming Traditional Chinese Medicine(TCM)poses two key questions:"Why is it possible?"and"What can be done?"The former seeks to answer why TCM should accept transformation through science,while the latter discusses the feasibility of using scientific methods to reform TCM.During the Republican Era driven by the push of"Scientification",TCM was on the way to reform.The paper,it is found that the long-popular"abolishment theory",the"old medicine abolition act"in 1929 and the official regulations of the Republic of China on TCM make it possible for science to reform TCM.Regarding the feasibility of the scientific transformation of TCM,the academic circles in the Republic of China presented three views:unnecessary scientification,scientification,and impossible scientification.Although these views are reasonable,they all have defects and cannot reach a consensus.The root cause is the difference and one-sidedness of their scientific views.
