Experiential scientific methodology

with the typical traditional Chinese medicine（ TCM）characteristics

is distinct from experimental scientific methodology proposed by Western medicine. The deep differences are reflected in the philosophy of guiding thoughts

contents of observation

ways to observe

and mode of analyse mentally. Experiential methodology is characterized by concrete thinking

the most representional original thinking mode in TCM. Based on the historical development of syndrome differentiation and treatment

it was the product which TCM accommodated to experimental scientific methodology

with the obvious trace of experimental scientific methodology left. So its development failed to cast away from the bandage of logical thinking. In spite of advocating flexibility outwardly

it will actually lead Chinese medicine to be formulaic and ossified due to its accurate core-philosophy

will change the thinking mode into purely metaphysical logical thinking and abstract thinking

and will push inheritance and development of TCM onto a wrong way. As much

the ability of concrete thinking is very important

with typical TCM characteristics. It is necessary to develop

improve the ability of concrete thinking and ignore the term of "syndrome differentiation and treatment".
