This article aims to explore in depth the practical application of the thinking method of "taking analogies" in traditional Chinese medicine. Taking analogical images is a thinking method based on the similarity of things, and its theoretical basis includes the idea of the unity of heaven and man and the theory of yin and yang and the five elements. Widely used in the understanding of traditional Chinese medicine. Subsequently, a comprehensive analysis was conducted on the various applications in traditional Chinese medicine, covering performance cognition, drug efficacy, formulation based on multiple compatibility relationships, and specific manifestations in clinical applications. At the same time, the limitations of its subjectivity, insufficient accuracy, and limited applicability were explored. It is not enough to rely solely on this method to determine drug efficacy. It is necessary to combine chemical analysis, pharmacological research, and clinical trials, integrate modern thinking such as systems theory, and strengthen clinical research to verify and supplement analogical results, innovate research ideas, provide reliable basis for its application, promote the development of traditional Chinese medicine, improve its scientific and accurate nature, and assist in the cause of human health protection.
