Biblical References

[Guest guest]

On a historical note - TCM predates Christianity and the Bible, hence little

chance of any reference to the five elements, etc. Cosmologically, Christianity

did not develop as a nature based tradition...it has another worldview not based

in wind, metal, water, fire with earth at its center. The Chinese had

Confucianism and the Tao as well as other more localized cultural views of

matter, the world and our relationship to and our place in it.

 

Christianity was a belief system unknown to the vast majority of the world's

indigenous peoples who also had (and some still have) more nature based view's

of healing, plant use, etc.....it wasn't until the more recent advent of

capitalism that the Bible became more widely known.

 

The Chinese had contact with Christians only well after TCM's philosophical and

medical theories were already fairly widespread in practise.
