Further Discussion on Problems in the Studies on Thinking Methods of Traditional Chinese Medicine
By combing and analysing the current status of studies on thinking methods of traditional Chinese medicine published in 2022 and 2023,it is pointed out that there are five aspects of problems in the current studies on thinking methods of traditional Chinese medicine,namely,the basic concept is unclear and the logic of exposition is confusing;the standard of conceptual division is different,and the logical level is unclear;excessive attention paid to wording and the explanations are far-fetched;there is insufficient evidence for argumentation,and there are mistakes in the deduction with arbitrariness;and the concepts of thinking are too generalized,and indiscriminately labelled.This shows that the existing knowledge structure of traditional Chinese medicine scholars,as well as the research atti-tude and methodology are obviously difficult to achieve the goal of studies on traditional Chinese medicine thinking methods,and there is an urgent need to improve and enhance them.
