Therefore, in last decades I have tried to consolidate its scientific background, looking for solid explanations through Exact Sciences (“Between Heaven and Earth” Scientific Basis of the Action of Shao Yin: Lightning’s Physical-Mathematical Analysis”;“Is Traditional Chinese Medicine Definitely an Exact Science?”;“Euclidean Geometry and Traditional Chinese Medicine: Diving into the Real Origin of the Five Elements”;“Solitons: A Cutting-Edge Scientific Proposal Explaining the Mechanisms of Acupuntural Action”) Currently, research on Chinese medicine leads us—with Dr. Erica Arakaki, collaborator and assistant—to verify through a profound bibliographic review the application of Fibonacci’s Golden Ratio in the constitution of T’ai Ji Tu, adding yet more substance to the hypothesis of Acupuncture and demonstrating how said Chinese Ancient Science is not only an empirical knowledge but a wisdom derived from the most ancient exact science: Geometry.展开更多

This discrimination encompasses both the conservation of the traditional scholarofficials’ conception and the launch of the Chinese Renaissance by the intellectuals of the New Culture. However, there is now a trend toward Taoism being the seed of native science in China since the 1930 s. This trend has started to destigmatize Taoism. In fact, the image of Taoism, either negative or positive, is shaped by science. The case study presented here helps us to better understand the religious views in the ideology of modern China and remind us that the image of Taoism from the perspective of science history is not its true color. What is more, two levels of "science view" have been formed in modern China: at the level of ideological structure, the traditional principle of "craft at climax can be closer to the Tao" and at the level of concrete connotation, the real meaning of either Tao or craft has undergone a rudimental change.展开更多
