Discussion on climate change and the evolution of Chinese medicine schools
In the 5 000-year history of Chinese civilization,there were three warm and humid periods and three cold and dry periods,namely Yangshao warm period(about 3000-1000 BC),Qin-Han dynasties warm period(770BC-early AD)and Sui-Tang dynasties warm period(541-810 AD),Western Zhou dynasty cold period(1000-850 BC),Wei-Jin,Southern and Northern dynasties cold period(early AD-540 AD),Song Yuan Ming and Qing dynasties cold period(1000-1900 AD),each major stage is interspersed with a small period of climate change.Climate change accompanied by changes in the spectrum of diseases promoted the adjustment of treatment methods and the formation of new medical schools,such as Zhongjing school arising from climate change period of late Eastern Han dynasty,and the warm and tonification school and warm disease school came into being and developed in the cold period of Ming and Qing dynasties.Climate change in the scale of hundred years has a direct impact or indirect driving effect on the formation and development of Chinese medicine schools,and the study of the characteristics of climate change is of great significance to the prevention and treatment of diseases.
