Abstract:
(Show)
There is a basis for the comparison of pulse - taking between TCM and Tibetan Medicine. There are connections and differences as well. The history of TCM pulsology is time - honored. There were contacts between TCM and Tibetan Medicine before the founding of Tubo dynasty. Many TCM classics from inland China were brought into Tibet by Princess Whencheng. Clear influence of Chinese pulsology can be seen in Tibetan pulsology. However, Tibetan pulsology has its own uniqueness. By combining imported knowledge with the experience of Tibetan people themselves, Tibetan pulsology is thus well developed.
