Abstract:
At present,more and more scientific experiments are used in the research of traditional Chinese medicine(TCM),which promotes the elucidation of the effects of TCM.However,the real significance of scientific experiment lies in the discussion of the original theory,and in the guidance role in the original theory based on the discovery.Therefore,it will lose its real significance and value to only position scientific experiments as"explain"the mechanism of TCM effects rather than guiding the clarification and development of the principles of TCM.This paper analyzes the theoretical paradigms of modern science and TCM from the perspective of historical development,and theoretically discusses the due position and importance of scientific experiments in the theoretical research and development of TCM on their similarities and differences and their possible intersections.It holds that although scientific experiment and TCM belong to different theoretical paradigms,their objective materiality from clinical practice determines the interconnectedness between scientific experiment and TCM,that is,linking scientific experiment and TCM with the pathophysiological changes;In order to ensure the correctness of the connection between this scientific experiment and TCM,we should pay attention to the implementation of the scientific concept in scientific experiments to ensure the specificity of the research results,and finally making due contributions to the development of TCM theory.
