The promotion. In summary, studying traditional Chinese medicine using an integrated approach of traditional Chinese and Western medicine can enrich and 15 enhance the content of traditional Chinese medicine, thereby effectively advancing its development. III. Applying advanced theories from modern disciplines to study traditional Chinese medicine, gradually modernizing it Due to the high degree of specialization in modern science, natural science is composed of a multi-layered, interwoven network system in which various disciplines are closely linked and mutually permeate one another. As an applied science that studies human life phenomena and seeks effective means to combat disease, Traditional Chinese Medicine, like Western medicine, should also be regarded as one link in this network system. We must study TCM from this perspective; otherwise, TCM will not be able to keep pace with the times. The theoretical foundation of traditional Chinese medicine is built on a macroscopic level. It understands the laws of human life and disease from a holistic perspective, but relatively lacks detailed descriptions of specific details, which reflects the insufficient differentiation within the TCM theoretical system. Practical experience in the development of natural science shows that breakthrough research on the fundamental theories within the TCM system cannot be achieved by medical professionals alone; it requires extensive collaboration across multiple disciplines such as biophysics, molecular biology, quantum chemistry, and quantum biology to make meaningful progress. The "Inner Canon" is a classic work of TCM theory; in terms of its content, it covers not only physiology, pathology, treatment methods, and prescriptions, but also astronomy, geography, mathematics, biology, psychology, and other fields. It is not unreasonable to say that the "Inner Canon" is "an encyclopedia that synthesizes the achievements of various disciplines of its time." Research on such an "encyclopedia" must rely on the methodologies of various disciplines developed in modern science—including cybernetics, information theory, and systems theory—in order to achieve results. The same applies to the study of works such as "Shanghan Lun" and "Jingui Yaolue." IV. Conclusion Currently, the development of traditional Chinese medicine must proceed simultaneously in the above three aspects, none of which can be omitted. However, among these three aspects, inheriting, organizing, and improving traditional TCM theory is the foundation of this work. On this basis, strengthening research on the integration of TCM and Western medicine will enable traditional Chinese medicine to absorb nourishment from Western medicine, continuously enriching and developing itself. At the same time, we must also mobilize advanced theories and technologies from various disciplines to join this effort, gradually modernizing traditional Chinese medicine so that it can keep pace with the times and shine forever. To achieve this glorious goal, in addition to the three forces of TCM, Western medicine, and the integration of TCM and Western medicine, we must also mobilize the most advanced multidisciplinary scientific and technological forces of our time, working together with one heart and one mind. We believe that under the correct guidance of the Party Central Committee and the government’s policies, the vast majority of medical and scientific workers will surely overcome numerous difficulties and, over a fairly long historical period, gradually fulfill this great historical mission. 17 Pushing macroscopic syndrome differentiation toward microscopic syndrome differentiation is the urgent task for the current development of TCM scholarship Pei Zhengxue TCM scholarship was founded in the pre-Qin period, underwent practical refinement through Zhang Zhongjing, was strengthened by the debates among scholars of the Jin and Yuan dynasties, and was boldly innovated by the Warm Disease School, ultimately becoming an invaluable treasure for the Chinese nation’s survival, prosperity, and national strength. Even today in the 21st century, TCM still stands tall in the world of medicine, shining brightly and attracting attention. However, over the past century, modern science and technology have been advancing at an astonishing rate, and humanity’s understanding of disease has shifted from the macroscopic to the microscopic, from broad observations to minute details. As a natural science dedicated to combating disease, TCM should naturally be a part of the modern scientific network system and advance in step with modern science and technology. Yet due to historical constraints, previous generations have neither had nor could have taken greater steps in this regard, leaving this glorious yet arduous historical mission squarely on the shoulders of us TCM practitioners. Faced with this issue, I propose the question of “pushing macroscopic syndrome differentiation toward microscopic syndrome differentiation” for discussion with my colleagues in the TCM community. If there are any shortcomings, I hope everyone will offer criticism and suggestions. I. Traditional TCM syndrome differentiation is macroscopic
