Yin Yang theory impairing progress?

[Guest guest]

TCM article in the Dec 2006 issue of Seed magazine, " The Old New Way: Chinese

Traditional Medicine fights for Acceptance " (It isn't on www.seedmagazine.com-

from the print version.)

 

" ...science planners within the government, who believe the old ways hurt

China's reputation abroad and stymie the science popularization project

that's currently underway. From Beijing's vantage point, old-school TCM

involves 'ideas that have weakened China in comparison to science- and

technology-based Western powers'...

 

'If people in China regain confidence in the yin-yang theory, they will be

lost for progress in science and technology.' "

That's what I love about the modern Chinese people. If you ever go to

China, you'll see they managed to destroy anything that is old and

beautiful and replace it with mass produced plastic crap. This policy

is no different. I guess the Cultural Revolution really worked after

all. In other parts of the world, old things show ones heritage and

power, but not in China.

But even this is an unchanging Chinese tradition... a seemingly absolute

stability at any

cost and then times of absolute change--- there is some lip-service paid to the

ancient

ways that justifies it. It's their changing of Yin and Yang. Ironically, at

least in terms of

architecture, to keep the old would be more " modern " what they are doing now.

But I find

it kind of tragic also.
