Chinese medicine is slow to heal Western medicine does not treat the root cause? This may be a misunderstanding
In recent years, traditional Chinese medicine has faced extensive criticism and skepticism in China. However, in contrast to this domestic criticism, overseas, traditional Chinese medicine has become the darling of many celebrities and royal figures. For example, the renowned American athlete Michael Phelps is particularly fond of cupping therapy.
Chinese Medicine: Slow Healing? I Won’t Take That Blame!
Western Medicine: Not Treating the Root Cause? I Won’t Take That Blame Either
When it comes to a cold or other minor illnesses, many people are accustomed to simply going to the pharmacy for some medication. However, when it comes to making a choice, they become indecisive. Is it better to choose traditional Chinese medicine or Western medicine?
Younger individuals may believe that Western medicine brings quicker relief, while their elders may hold on to the belief that the traditional Chinese medicine passed down from their ancestors is a treasure.
In recent years, traditional Chinese medicine has faced extensive criticism and skepticism in China. However, in contrast to this domestic criticism, overseas, traditional Chinese medicine has become the darling of many celebrities and royal figures. For example, the renowned American athlete Michael Phelps is particularly fond of cupping therapy.
Moreover, there is a growing number of foreigners coming to China for the purpose of studying and furthering their knowledge of traditional Chinese medicine.
Observing these phenomena, one can’t help but recall similar occurrences:
- There’s a type of child called “other people’s children.”
- There’s a type of husband called “other people’s husbands.”
- There’s a type of medicine called “other people’s medicine.”
The difference between Chinese and Western medicine, to a certain extent, actually reflects the disparities in Chinese and Western culture. Regarding this, Wei Jie, the Chairman of the Jincheng Group, holds a different perspective.
Chinese Medicine: Slow Healing? I Won’t Take That Blame!
Western Medicine: Not Treating the Root Cause? I Won’t Take That Blame Either
When it comes to the differences between Chinese and Western medicine, many people’s initial impression is that Chinese medicine heals slowly, and Western medicine merely treats symptoms without addressing the root cause. However, this belief might be mistaken.
During a recent speech titled “WORLD I” Global Tour – Hangzhou ENCORE Station held at the Hangzhou Guangsha Sports Arena, Wei Jie expressed that people often claim that Chinese medicine is slow, but this is a misunderstanding of traditional Chinese medicine. The issue with Chinese medicine is not with the entire practice but rather with specific techniques and the quality of medicinal materials. Rough traditional Chinese medicine planting and processing methods have led to the reduced quality and effectiveness of many medicinal herbs today. Traditional Chinese medicine is not meant to take a long time to address the root cause of an illness; it also aims for the balance between treating symptoms and addressing the root cause.
The Ancients of China Knew About This?
At this year’s Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine, three American geneticists received recognition for their discovery of the mechanisms governing the biological clock within the body. They identified the factors influencing sleep, explaining why we sleep at night, wake during the day, and when we experience fatigue. Their research provides the biological basis for understanding these phenomena. By properly applying knowledge of these biological rhythms, you can differentiate between periods of optimal work and rest, leading to a better life.
However, Wei Jie has discovered that the biological clock theory proposed by these scientists closely resembles China’s ancient wisdom regarding the twelve daily meridians for health. Both systems divide a day into 24 segments. The time from 3 AM to 9 AM corresponds to spring within the body, a time for rising and exercising, much like spring is a season for sowing seeds and tilling. From 9 AM to 3 PM is akin to summer, a period of hard work. From 3 PM to 9 PM corresponds to autumn, a time for reflection, meetings, and harvest. Lastly, from 9 PM to 3 AM is winter, a time for resting. You must find ways to sleep and allow good fortune to find you during this period. Sleeping well during this time is believed to lead to better luck and an improved overall situation the next day.
Combining the twenty-four solar terms with the body’s biological clock, one cannot help but marvel at the wisdom of China’s ancient scholars. This wisdom, predating the discoveries of Western Nobel laureates by over a thousand years, is truly remarkable.
The Power of Earthly Will
In the recent development of the modern world, Chinese and Western cultures have been increasingly merging.
No one country will replace another, and no one culture will replace another. Wei Jie believes that the world’s grand trends involve the separation and merging of cultures over time. “The world’s grand trends entail separation and later unification,” Wei Jie says. “Even when you replace something, it will still exist and develop in a different form. It will continue to move forward. This, in essence, is the will of the Earth.”
Wei Jie argues that whether on the scale of national development or that of individual companies, all must conform to the Earth’s will. For example, the Jincheng Group, founded by Wei Jie, centers its business model around characteristic towns, each having its unique qualities. Apart from their individuality, these towns require well-rounded industrial chains. “In my eyes, an ideal company is a social company, not just a corporate one,” Wei Jie said during his speech. Jincheng is precisely such a social company.
Chinese people often say, “With the Way, you’ll receive help; without it, you’ll receive little.” When a company, a city, or a country’s development aligns with the Earth’s will, sustained progress is possible.
