Profiles of traditional chinese medicine schools
摘要
Many schools of academic doctrines have emerged throughout the development history of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) due to geographic
time
Shicheng (mentor-apprentice system) and academic diversities. Classic TCM School
Classic Formula School and Febrile Disorder School
though all lacking a clearly demonstrable or continuous Shicheng relationship
are nevertheless so classified because of their consistency in reference to the classic TCM works. Each of the Four Famous Masters of Jin and Yuan Dynasties had its distinctively different academic doctrine
resulting in the establishment of individually integrated academic schools. The emergence of the Warming and Tonifying School in late Yuan and early Ming Dynasties was realized as a means to rectify the ill effects of the cool and cold medications prevalent at the time. On the other hand
the advent of the Warm Disease School and the rise of the Confluence School embodied the close relationship carried by TCM academic schools to contemporary historical background. Looking at this development history
it is evident that the development of TCM academic schools could flourish only if it allows dissenting
yet mutually tolerant
opinions. In present medical environment where TCM and Western medicine are of equal importance
Classic TCM Schools
TCM Modernization Schools and Integrative Medicine Schools should all receive emphasis to foster development.
