On July 13 morning, an article named "the aircraft engine fault diagnosis based on the theory of TCM diagnosis and treatment of new technology movement of paper caused heated debate on the net, this paper mainly discusses in the traditional Chinese medicine theory of" nature and humanity ", "five elements of Yin and Yang", "acupuncture points" methodology to diagnose the faults of aircraft engine, the authors said the study on "modeling" has begun. (southern metropolis daily, 14 July)

Take Chinese medicine to see a plane? It sounded like a thunderous proposition, and it was sprayed on the Internet.

Scold this study, probably no more than three: first, the two fields of transboundary pepper-sprayed, ancient and abstract of traditional Chinese medicine, modern and representational engine, is how to link up? Second, the theory of TCM has been demonized in recent years, and there are always those who have borrowed the Chinese medicine to "gibberish". Now this research is so surprising that it is inevitably alarming. Again, the imagination of the field of papers is not uncommon.

Based on the above background, the "academic association" of traditional Chinese medicine and airplane engines is really exclamatory: surprise or surprise?

However, the question of academic expertise, and the use of common sense to question it, is a terrible thing in itself. Allegedly, this paper entitled "based on the theory of TCM diagnosis and treatment of aeroengine fault diagnosis technology movement of paper, referred to in the paper" combined with overall concept in traditional Chinese medicine theory, dynamic dialectic and method of the accumulation of experience, abstract the new methodology, using the theory of TCM diagnosis way of thinking, this paper presents a new aeroengine fault diagnosis technology ". It is obvious that the paper is based on the methodology of holistic modeling, dialectical thinking and accumulation of experience in TCM, so as to promote the diagnosis of the fault diagnosis of aviation engine.

If the translation is a little more straightforward -- people are just proposing to use the methodology of Chinese medicine to think about engine failure. In other words, engine failure diagnosis, of course, is not pure technical work. In the process of thinking, people should at least use the basic principles of worldview and methodology. It's like scientists playing the violin and the artists love competitive sports, and there's always something in between. Is more terrible, in the case of without understanding the author paper, public opinion play innuendo academic criticism, for the innovation and creativity as the core of life research papers, is probably a deadly environment atmosphere.

History always rolls around in the sky. The fixed logic and solidified thinking are the natural enemies of human progress. One thing is for sure: in the field of expertise, a few papers have been pulled out of the way, and the public opinion is expected to be surprising. But the question is, do common sense really stand at the top of the line, and can easily look up and break out of professional research? It is true that scientific research should be self-respecting. However, respecting the independent and innovative ideas of academic research, and even embracing the ideas and inspirations of hu's words and words -- this diverse world, I am afraid, will truly breathe smooth and full of vitality.
