Meta-Knowledge
( 5. Micro or Macro )



Unfortunately, there are some pseudo scholars 
who always want to undermine our TCM 
(Traditional Chinese Medicine), and when it 
comes to our TCM, those pseudo scholars always  
boast smugly about their knowledge of the micro 
world.

But even worse, those guys take it for granted 
that the thinking of our TCM is too macro, so 
it is unreliable.

Actually, this is a kind of egg head . 


Objectively speaking, when dealing with problems 
in practice, knowledge from both the macro and 
micro worlds is important, and there is no need 
for mutual exclusion. 

Otherwise, the problem may not be solved.

Because relying too much on the knowledge 
of the micro world may make it difficult to 
consider the practical effects of 
problem-solving due to being too busy and 
focused on the micro world. 


If we review the process of dealing with the virus 
this time, it is easy to understand the relationship 
between the knowledge of the micro world and 
that of macro world.

This time dealing with the virus was very successful, 
and the process is also worth pondering.

For example, when battling against  a certain virus, 
we can analyze biological characteristics of this 
kind of viruse from a microscopic perspective and 
develop corresponding vaccines to combat the 
virus and to cure patients.

This approach is indeed very perfect in theory for 
it can effectively and accurately strike this kind of  
virus.

So, this approach is indeed very perfect in theory 
for it can effectively and accurately strike a certain 
virus . 


But unfortunately, there are still some issues in 
practical operation. 

For instance, viruses often mutate, and after the 
virus mutates, whether its toxicity and infectivity 
become stronger or weaker is actually beyond 
precise control. 


But whenever a virus mutates, it often becomes
overwhelmed or unable to respond effectively in 
a timely manner, because the complexity and 
randomness of the micro world are currently 
unpredictable, let alone effective control and 
prevention. 


Fortunately, we have TCM, and our TCM is never
troubled by so many trivial issues when dealing 
with viruses. 

Because the idea of our TCM is to develop 
prescriptions based on the macro characteristics 
of viruses, so as to improve human immunity, 
make the virus unable to survive or form harm 
in the human body, and then cure the disease, 
or reduce the incidence rate, severity rate, and 
mortality rate, so as to gain more time for 
continued effective treatment .

At that time, many macro measures were taken ,
such as wearing masks, frequent ventilation, 
maintaining a distance of 1 meter, strengthening 
nutrition, and moderate exercise , and all of these 
macro measures have played an important role 
in cutting off the transmission route of the virus 
and curbing its hazard .

However, if we only focus on micro knowledge, 
the effect may be negligible.


 I wrote an article titled 'Micro and Macro' in 
2020,The topic was discussed and a similar 
viewpoint was proposed:  


If analyzing problems only at the micro level and
disregarding macro effects, it is not necessarily 
scientific, because macro analysis is also 
indispensable.

In fact, fighting against viruses is like fighting
a war:

If the position is surrounded by a large 
number of enemy troops, the best method
is to sweep the machine gun to effectively 
defend the position.   

At that time , if a pseudo scholar proposes 
pseudo theory, saying that:

To fire at the enemy, it should use big bullets 
to tall men and little bullets  to  short  men.

That will only lead to  failure ! 


It has been proven that this is also true when the 
human body is attacked by a virus, especially 
when the virus's identity is unknown,  our TCM is 
just the best choice. 

It can be roughly believed that for the analysis of 
clinical symptoms of diseases, our TCM is very 
effective at analysing from macroscopic symptom, 
while other medical studies are is very effective at 
analysing from a microscopic perspective. 

It is precisely this multi-dimensional analysis and 
research that ensures the effectiveness of this 
rescue! 


At that time when dealing with the epidemic, 
foreign countries often showed confusion, and 
they didn't know what to do, which also proved 
that both macro and micro knowledge were 
important.

So, analyzing problems is not necessarily better 
at the micro level, nor is it only possible to have 
a correct understanding at the micro level. 

Comprehensive analysis from multiple perspectives 
is more reasonable.

Therefore, our TCM should not be discriminated 
against just because it considers diseases at a 
macro level.

May I reiterate once again:

When dealing with problems in practice, knowledge 
from both the macro and micro worlds is important, 
and there is no need to prioritize each other. 

If we only focus on micro knowledge, its 
problem-solving effect may be negligible! 

So, we should apply various knowledge rationally, 
without being burdened with any particular 
knowledge.
