preface
As the saying goes, "Western medicine recognizes the door, Chinese medicine recognizes people", in my opinion, the choice of Chinese medicine to treat diseases must find the right person, if you want to learn Chinese medicine, you need to find the right person.
About Authorship:
The author of this article is a student sister of the 19th issue of the Chinese Medicine Year Pass. She often asked herself: Why invest so much time, energy, and money to learn an ability that is likely to be impossible to make a living in the future?
Let's walk into the learning experience of the student sister together. "Since the mountain is not flat, I have come to Tim Er a peak of green"!
How to learn systematically
A senior has said that Chinese medicine is a part of the Chinese national culture, a part of the wisdom of life, just find a Chinese, whether correct or not, can say one or two mouths, its cognitive threshold seems to be low, all kinds of TV programs, health books, WeChat articles, offline lectures, etc., whether it is the form of communication or the coverage level is very extensive.
But what really needs to be asked about those health enthusiasts who brush this kind of information every day, what is yin deficiency and what is yang deficiency? Why should we raise yang in spring and summer, and raise yin in autumn and winter? Is ginseng expensive for everyone? In particular, when the two different views are all excited and ask what you think, it is estimated that the vast majority of people will be vague and even flee.
Therefore, I think that if you want to really learn Chinese medicine well, you must learn systematically. So what is "systematic" learning? My evaluation criteria are fourfold:
1. The disciplinary framework should be complete;
2. The logic should be self-consistent;
3. The content should be rigorous;
4. It is necessary to have a teaching background in the industry.
There are also two non-essential selection requirements:
1. The teacher's teaching should be easy to understand, and it is best to be solemn and harmonious;
2. The teacher's spirit should be good, so that it can be convincing, and it is best to be able to look online.
After many searches and screenings, Teacher Pan Yi became my teacher's target, and there was no one. Before signing up for the One Year Pass of Chinese Medicine, I had listened to the teacher's audio course "Compulsory Courses in Chinese Medicine Culture" and read the teacher's book "Looking for the Lost YuanShen of Chinese Medicine", so my choice was very deliberate, whether it was for the teacher or for myself, I was full of trust and confidence.
Learn from it
Half a year has passed, and I have completed the study of the basic theory module of Chinese medicine with Mr. Pan, which should belong to the "rational" part of the "theory" of the discipline of TCM, and can also be regarded as the cognitive framework of the discipline of TCM.
With this framework, although I can't practice it freely, I already have the ability to think, analyze and judge all kinds of health treasures and health guidance from a professional point of view. The advantage is that in the small way, it will no longer be clouded, and in the big way, it reduces the probability of paying the IQ tax, and even avoids the health risks caused by credulity and partiality.
My personal learning experience:
1. The primary task of learning is to establish an independent, self-consistent cognitive framework.
Before participating in the one-year study, I had accumulated a lot of scattered knowledge of Chinese medicine, but before the class, I had to clear the zero first, and first use the content taught by Teacher Pan to build a framework.
Since there is an interval between each course, during this period, try to collect Teacher Pan's teaching materials and public account articles to learn.
Prepare before class, take questions to class; listen carefully to the lectures during the class to ensure complete absorption; review at the right time after class and organize the study notes.
2. The correct way of thinking is very important, to understand and apply to learning, thinking, and practice
What is particularly valuable about Mr. Pan is that he will instill in us the thinking that Chinese medicine should have at the beginning - image thinking, holistic thinking, change thinking, neutral thinking, and homeopathic thinking.
To tell the truth, if there is no such "pilot mechanism" and directly talk about the content, it is very difficult for us to understand the teaching content due to the limitations of modern education. I think this is also the reason why Teacher Pan gave a lecture in the Himalayas and why he wrote a book and made a statement, this "virtual" is not "true and false", but the reality of reality.
3. Lay a solid foundation and try to avoid being too noisy
In the learning process, many related books will be mentioned, but the actual situation is that our time and energy are limited, and in the stage of weak foundation, looking a little east and a little west will distract our attention and disrupt the cognitive system that is gradually formed.
However, you can choose several highly relevant books, using the knowledge imparted by Mr. Pan as a "tool" to understand the author's views and train your theoretical application ability. For example, during the study period, I completely read Liu Lihong's "Thinking about Chinese Medicine", as well as Mr. Qin Bowei's "Introduction to Chinese Medicine", Tang Yun's "Approaching Chinese Medicine", especially the last two books, which are used to establish the cognitive framework of Chinese medicine and can play a role in strengthening what I have learned.
4. When you see WeChat articles related to Chinese medicine, you should use the basic theories of Chinese medicine to analyze, and even imagine how to conceive and write an article on this topic if you write by yourself.
Why I studied TCM
I often ask myself the question: Why invest so much time, energy, and money to learn an ability that is likely to be impossible to make a living in the future?
At this time, I will take out the "Hundred Years of Life" that has a profound impact on me, if our generation's life is expected to be further extended, or even break through the hundred years, then what practical problems will this "maybe" bring me? What do I need to prepare for these "realities"?
Therefore, it is within my power to choose to study TCM so as to develop a correct lifestyle, have the commonly used ability to correct deviations, and drive my family to practice and lay the foundation for future development with health. So, let's get started!
Teacher Pan opened his medical experience, and when talking about the difference between the schools of Chinese medicine, he quoted the go master Mr. Wu Qingyuan: Only the hand that plays the efficiency of all the pieces on the chessboard is the best hand.
Teacher Pan is also, in the process of learning, clearly feel his cautious attitude and open mind. Such a realm, such a weather, is also one of the harvests of learning. Here, try to speculate, the ancient famous doctors, Teacher Pan's favorite and most similar is Lord Fu Qing, both for the mountain peace, I came to Tim Er Feng Qing.
