Some people say that Chinese medicine is big data. Do you agree?

Seek truth from facts.

Don't say Chinese medicine is big data. Not only is Chinese medicine not big data, but what Chinese medicine lacks is data.

Traditional Chinese medicine has a relatively complete and unified theoretical system of philosophy of Yin and Yang.

There are many schools of Chinese medicine, such as Qi and blood school, meridian school, deficiency and excess school and so on. For thousands of years, many figures from various schools have accumulated a lot of valuable experience, but no matter how much experience there is, it can't be expressed by data. Therefore, it is impossible to realize digital analysis and large-scale promotion.

It is just the opposite to say that Chinese medicine is big data. What Chinese medicine lacks is data. Let alone what big data it is.

Compared with traditional Chinese medicine, western medicine has a lot of data. Almost all aspects have data, some of which are more detailed.

However, many aspects of data are fragmented, and some aspects of data are not necessarily related to other aspects of data, which can neither support each other nor deny each other.

Western medicine lacks a theoretical system of overall orientation.

The deficiency of traditional Chinese medicine is not big data, but a database for thousands of years. Unlike modern large databases, if calculated by percentage, we will know how the fever is caused (or use the instrument: thermometer), but we will use the instrument to find out what inflammation is caused. But how does inflammation come from? You don't know? tool
