Narrative medicine

which emerged in the United States in 2001

is a new branch of medical humanities. It expresses empathy and reflection of medical humanities in language through reading and writing. Traditional Chinese medicine contains rich humanistic elements. As important chapters in

Huangdi Neijing

Shu Wu Guo Lun

and

Zheng Si Shi Lun

pointed out the five failings and four lapses that healers may make. In addition to profound medical theories

there is also rich humanistic reflection to be found in the two chapters. From the perspective of etiology

the researchers analyzed the reflections on the changes of social life and major negative life events

on the emotions

on lifestyle of diet and residence

and on personalities and constitutions. From the point of reflection on the doctors themselves

this paper analyzes the reflection on the poor mastery of medical science

on the lack of concentration on the medical profession

and on the psychology of the thoughtless

arrogant and greedy doctors. The two pieces are full of reflections on medicine and have the characteristics of intersubjectivity

empathy and reflection of narrative medicine

which can enlighten the local development of narrative medicine.
