I am a TCM doctor and I was not aware of this holiday at first.

Today Chinese Medicine Day, as you know? Perhaps many Chinese medicine colleagues do not know that today is the Chinese Medicine Day, also known as the Chinese National Medicine Day.

Two Sheep tells a little bit about how the holiday came to be.

During the Republic of China, Chinese medicine was brought up for discussion at one point, and many people said that Chinese medicine should be outlawed. That is, on March 17, 1929, the country's 17 provinces and cities, 242 groups, 281 representatives gathered in Shanghai, his family gathered for a conference.

This congress was, I think, unprecedented and has not been repeated since. It was called the 'National Congress of Medical Societies'.

The Congress discussed how to inherit and develop Chinese medicine and established the "General Federation of National Medical Organizations" and discussed the formation of a petition group. A petition group was formed to go to Beijing to demand that the government of the day immediately abolish the motion to abolish Chinese medicine.

At the same time, the petition was strongly supported by various social organizations up and down the country, including the National Chamber of Commerce, the Chinese National Products Maintenance Association, the Medical Newspaper House, and representatives of the overseas Chinese in Nanyang who telegraphed for the preservation of national medicine.

The public and the media have also supported the Chinese medicine sector by putting forward slogans of solidarity, such as "banning Chinese medicine is tantamount to killing the sick" and "opposing the resolution of the Ministry of Health on the banning of Chinese medicine".

The motion to abolish Chinese medicine was eventually not accepted.

In order to commemorate the victory of this struggle, the medical profession has designated March 17 as "China's National Medical Day". It is also known as Chinese Medicine Day.

This Chinese Medicine Day, however, is almost forgotten by everyone. The current thinking and opinion of abolishing Chinese medicine is also showing signs of rising.

However, fortunately, from the national level, the development of the cause of Chinese medicine, the country's strong support for Chinese medicine, at least the law, to the official media public opinion are supportive.

The Republic of China is finally in a situation compared to the situation, has been considered a lot better, in case it is impossible, the abolition of the Chinese medicine is a thousand years, the country summed up the essence of the Chinese people, but also one of China's national essence.

It is also Chinese medicine that best represents Chinese culture internationally.

Today is the National Medical Day, and I think this holiday should not be forgotten, and it should also be known, not only by Chinese medicine practitioners, but also by the general public.

That's a bit of a big question, so I'll answer you in two parts

There are many Physician's Days in China. The first one was on March 17, 1929, established by the Republic of China.The background of the establishment was to protect traditional Chinese medicine. 1929 February, the Republic of China's first Chinese medicine conference was held in Nanjing, at the peak of the modern Western medicine into the country, Western-style general hospitals and specialized hospitals were built in all major cities. A delegate at this congress proposed the abolition of Chinese medicine. On March 17 of the same year, the national Chinese medicine manufacturers and scholars of traditional Chinese medicine, held in Shanghai against the abolition of traditional Chinese medicine conference, in order to commemorate the meeting, so the day of March 17 as Physicians' Day!

On June 26, 1998, the Law on Practicing Physicians was enacted.On June 26, 2011, the Declaration on Chinese Physicians was issued.That's why there's another 6.26 Physician's Day!

On August 19, 2016, the highest-level health work conference in the People's Republic of China over the past 20 years was held in Beijing, with seven Standing Committees of the CPC Central Committee attending at the same time; and it was unanimously resolved by the delegates to position this day as Physician's Day!

As for the way forward for Chinese medicine practitioners, this is a very big topic and I can only talk about my personal suggestions:

1. Improve the qualifying examination for TCM practitioners by formulating a new assessment method for folk TCM practitioners or people with genuine specialties, so that they will be assessed individually and separately according to their reported specialties, and will only be able to practise medicine within the approved scope after passing the assessment.

2. Protecting Chinese herbs, implementing a regulatory system for the cultivation of raw materials for Chinese medicine, and setting national standards.

3. Further improve the scope of practice of Chinese medicine practitioners, rigorous diagnosis of Chinese medicine treatment by Western medicine, or diagnosis of Western medicine treatment by Chinese medicine practitioners.

4, discover folk real Chinese medicine everyone, by the government to collect the real efficacy of the prescription, identification and protection.

5. Crack down on pseudo-Chinese medicine practitioners, Chinese medicine cheats or unlicensed operators under the guise of Chinese medicine.

Here, I do not want to talk about the origin of the National Medical Day. The reason is that, together with the time I have spent on studying Chinese medicine, I have been associated with this profession for more than 30 years, and I have been concerned about things related to Chinese medicine for more than 30 years. Regrettably, I did not know that there was this festival until today.

What does this mean? It shows that the atmosphere of the general environment for the protection of the national essence of Chinese medicine has not yet been created for our entire nation, and that from the state to the private sector and even the Chinese medicine industry, there is not enough concern and attention paid to the cause of Chinese medicine. This is the root of the problem.

Why does this happen? It is also because of the environment and atmosphere. Nowadays, people pay more attention to practical things, get a life-threatening disease, or first aid, looking for Western medicine; got the "three highs", there are also looking for Chinese medicine, that is because the Western medicine of these chronic also have no effective means of treatment. In general, people rarely pay attention to body maintenance, not to mention the concept of treatment of the disease, so the good "treatment of the disease" of Chinese medicine on the doorstep of the cold.

The mentality of quick success and quick profit has caused people to neglect health maintenance and the importance of Chinese medicine to health.

Of course, even so, Chinese medicine will never die out. First of all, it is an empirical science, and if it is a science, it is bound to exist. Secondly, Chinese medicine comes from the people and is rooted in the people. Those who want to completely curb the cause of Chinese medicine are doomed to failure. It can be imagined what kind of mentality these people have when they see the rise of Chinese medicine. Obviously, it is Chinese medicine that is beginning to take over their market!

What are you afraid of? Whether it is a mule or a horse, ultimately, we have to let the market have the final say.

The future of the cause of Chinese medicine is bright. At present, the most important thing is to integrate the limited strength of Chinese medicine talents to do the work of publicizing and promoting the culture of Chinese medicine.

Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), originated and developed in China, has also gone global. Today, when the West is exploring the mysteries of Chinese medicine, some people are trying to put Chinese medicine to death under the banner of "pseudo-science".

What are their intentions? And do not pursue. But its ridiculous degree, really make people sigh. Imagine, Chinese medicine culture nourishes the children of China up and down thousands of years, to today, how some people can not tolerate her? Into the bloodstream of the culture, how can you do to get rid of it?

To sum up, I always firmly believe that the spring of Chinese medicine has come, can the summer heat be far away?

I think we must rectify our attitude and resolutely say no to the blackening of Chinese medicine! When the whole world is promoting the development of Chinese medicine, they are asking for the banning of Chinese medicine, and when Japan, which "abolished medicine" and tested medicines, asked all doctors to study and assess the Introduction to Chinese Medicine, they are asking for the "abolition of medicine"!

In Japan, "Introduction to Chinese Medicine" has been included in the mandatory curriculum of 80 professional or comprehensive university medical schools nationwide, and has been included as one of the contents of the Clinical Examination for Japanese Doctors since 2006, and has been included in the scope of questions of the Qualification Examination for Japanese Doctors since 2008. The "abolition of medicine" seemed to be a great success at the beginning, but why is it now being "abandoned for the dark"?

1. The Japanese government to make a historic choice, but also by the reality of Japan to "forced". From the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare White Paper shows that in recent years Japan's national medical expenses have increased rapidly, more than 31 trillion yen, but the cure rate of disease has not seen growth, basically hovering around 1/5.
   
2. The combination of aging and longevity has led to medical problems in health care for the elderly, and major hospitals in Japan, which are staffed by Western physicians, are at a loss as to what to do and what to do to treat the symptoms.
   
3. Although there are 117 types of doctor-prescribed Chinese medicines and 247 types of generic Chinese medicines that can be prescribed by pharmacists or purchased freely in Japan, doctors can only prescribe them without knowing the reason for them

Japanese Chinese medicine master said before his death: "Now it is Japan to China to learn Chinese medicine, 20 years later to Chinese people to Japan to learn Chinese medicine! (Perhaps this is also the result that the Chinese medicine black wants!)

March 17th is the National Medical Day of China, which originated from the March 17th, 1929 meeting of representatives of the National Medical Association in Shanghai, which opposed the proposal of Yu Yuncui (who had studied medicine in Japan), the head of the national government's health agency, and which was passed by the first session of the National Government's Central Committee of Health Commissioners, on the "Abolition of the Old Medicines (Traditional Chinese Medicine) in order to Remove the Obstacles to Medicine and Health" (the purpose of this case was to outlaw and completely eliminate Traditional Chinese Medicine within fifty years). "(the purpose of which was to outlaw and completely eliminate Chinese medicine within 50 years), the conference proposed that"Promoting Chinese medicine to prevent cultural aggression and traditional Chinese medicine to prevent economic aggression".A petition group was also organized, which was victorious due to the support of a wide range of groups and people at home and abroad. For this reason, March 17 was designated as "Chinese National Medical Festival".

Chinese medicine, as one of the world's national healing arts, has a long history of more than 3,000 years (since the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period), and has made indelible contributions to the people's health, but since modern times, due to its own failure to forge ahead, has always been in theempirical medicineand failed to actively utilize modern science and technology to study it as Western medicine does, fromempirical medicineenterexperimental medicinedevelop intomodern medicineAs a result, it is difficult for it to be accepted by the modern international community, and it is a pity that a national treasure has fallen into such a state of decline, and it is indeed a pity that it has not been able to fight for it. However, Chinese medicine as a natural medicine and the overall dialectical treatment of an effective medical technology, its essence is worth in-depth study and vigorously develop to benefit the public. I think the development of Chinese medicine lies inThe scientificization of the theory of Chinese medicine和Scientific modernization of Chinese medicine.

Science (natural sciences) is the study of the inner laws of the objective world by means of logical analysis and falsificationMethods of knowing, where matter, energy, and information can theoretically be recognized at the level of the universe, objects, cells, molecules, atoms, and quanta.Medicine is a sub-discipline of life sciences, which naturally follows the laws of life activities, and therefore can be studied and recognized at the cellular, genetic, molecular, atomic and quantum levels, and Chinese medicine should not be an exception.

The scientificization of the theory of Chinese medicine

The root of the theory of Chinese medicine is thatTheory of Yin and Yang, Five Elements, Theory of Hidden Symbols和Meridian Theory.From the biological, biochemical, and biophysical point of view, the cells of various organs and tissues are different, and their energy and information are bound to be different, if a wide range of in-depthtestresearch, the doctrines and theories of Chinese medicine will naturally be able to be removed from the rough to the fine, and the false to the true. The obstacle now lies not in our understanding of these doctrines, but in the fact that they have been studied.Modern scientific knowledgenothing, but in the fact that we hold on to empirical knowledge or pre-existing scientific knowledge whileSelf-righteousness.

Scientific modernization of Chinese medicine

The key to the development of traditional Chinese medicine lies in the development of the drug.a ruler and his ministers support him (idiom); fig. a ruler and his ministers support himunderstanding of the pharmacological mechanism of action (scientifically) of theStandardization of herbs和Modernization of pharmaceuticals. And the core of the standardization of medicinal herbs lies in the drug components of thequantitative和Measurability.

The scientificization of the theory of Chinese medicine and the scientific modernization of Chinese medicine is a grand systematic project, which cannot be solved independently by the scientific and technological workers in the field of traditional Chinese medicine alone, but also requires the joint efforts of scientific and technological experts in physiology, pathology, pharmacology, biochemistry, biophysics, and modern physics and chemistry, as well as instrument and equipment engineers and experimental animal science and technicians, etc., before a comprehensive breakthrough can be expected. hope for a comprehensive breakthrough.

The research and development of Chinese medicine had been suppressed after the Republic of China, and major officials of the National Government, including Wang Jingwei and Chiang Kai-shek, who stayed in Japan, did their best to prevent it. After the founding of New China, Chairman Mao Zedong had authorized:"Chinese medicine is a great treasure trove that should be diligently explored and improved."In 2016, the central government convened a national health and wellness conference, which included all members of the Politburo Standing Committee, and proposed the establishment of a concept of "great health and great wellness," as President Xi Jinping pointed out:"Without health for all, there can be no comprehensive well-being".At the same time, the State Council issued theStrategic Plan for the Development of Chinese Medicine(2016-2030), creating a good political situation for the modernization and development of Chinese medicine. The TCM science and technology industry should seize the opportunity and strive to develop itself and make greater contributions to mankind.

I'm not sure I know there is a Chinese National Doctor's Day, and I certainly don't know the origins of the festival. Next, let's talk about the way out of Chinese medicine/

Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) has been practiced for thousands of years and has produced many famous TCM practitioners. Traditional Chinese medicine has been planted in the soil of traditional Chinese culture since ancient times, however, since modern times, with the transformation of Chinese society and culture, the "advanced" thinkers, with the spirit of "breaking through the net", launched a fierce attack on this traditional Chinese culture. Repeatedly in the field of values to pronounce the traditional Chinese culture "dead", in the "May Fourth" since the formation of Western culture as the supreme standard of "scientific discourse" in the context of the traditional Chinese learning that is the old school, the national essence of the garbage. The so-called Chinese medicine, all were categorized into the old, retrogressive, superstitious, to be discarded in the scope, so Chinese medicine then gradually lost the survival of the cultural soil, the language of Chinese medicine, although understandable and easy to understand, today it has become difficult to understand the ancient mystery, originally widely spread, in-depth, easy to understand, understand the theory of Chinese medicine has gradually become a mysterious and mysterious,. It has become a "passed on but not succeeded" of the extinct science.

Chinese medicine road is the ancient thousands of years of life practice, nowadays society, must pay attention to the state, the theory of Chinese medicine vigorously publicized, originally Chinese medicine from the basic rural areas, self-study, inheritance is the best way to learn Chinese medicine, the ancients practiced medicine is by virtue of the cure of the branch of the art, and now to be a diploma, the diploma high and low to the price of the doctor is not right, the study of traditional Chinese medicine know what should be learned? Only on the ancient medical books of the secondary school, learn, understand, practice, in order to become a good Chinese medicine, only in practice to find new conditions, symptoms. With the ancient rules of identification, to boldly practice in order to solve the modern Western science can not solve the medical problems. Liberalization of the threshold of Chinese medicine, so that the love of Chinese medicine, understanding of Chinese medicine, self-study of Chinese medicine, Chinese medicine inheritance, college of Chinese medicine has a living soil, the road must be very wide, very strong, very bright.

Chinese medicine is the working people through the individual people and groups of people through direct practice, is through successive generations of educated and intelligent doctors summed up; Chinese medicine people-oriented grasp of the whole and Western medicine to small animal-based micro-understanding is the fundamental difference. Comparison of the two have their own shortcomings, the study of its strengths and weaknesses, Chinese medicine is stronger, because its theory, practice is more for the service of people.

The holistic view of Chinese medicine and natural healing will be the most scientific and recognized therapy in the world in the future, when it is emulated by Western medicine.

I do not worry about the way out of Chinese medicine is completely unfounded; on the contrary, I, as well as anti-Chinese medicine people practically have to worry about the way out of Western medicine!

A word to the wise I always say: whether or not to recognize the millennia of practice and scientific rationality of Chinese medicine is a litmus test of the intelligence of modern people!

China since the late Qing Dynasty until the Republic of China, returned from overseas to study in the literati scholars, politicians and many groups benefiting from Western medicine has been calling for the abolition of traditional Chinese medicine, in February 1929, the Republic of China's first Chinese medicine conference held in Nanjing, at the meeting to stay in the foreign faction, represented by the Western medicine groups to abolish the topic of Chinese medicine was met by the national scholars of traditional Chinese medicine, traditional Chinese medicine vendors, traditional Chinese medicine teachers, the National General Chamber of Commerce and Industry, Chinese Medicine Newspaper The Chinese Medicine Newspaper, South China Sea overseas Chinese and other groups and organizations up and down the country jointly petitioned the government, and finally won the victory on March 17th, so that day was designated as the National Medical Day. Although Chinese medicine was preserved, it could not be revitalized due to factors such as geographical transportation, war, weak national education and low culture. After the founding of New China, although the State and the Party Central Committee had attached great importance to Chinese medicine, and proposed to formulate certain policies, but at that time China can be said to be the post-war reconstruction, a lot of waste and waiting to be developed, but also because of Western medicine since the Republic of China has been in the country's overall rapid development, compared to the Western medicine of the taking and easy to carry, the therapeutic effect is both good and fast, Chinese medicine is indeed dwarfed by the. After China's economic reform and opening up, the development of western medicine has been advancing by leaps and bounds, while Chinese medicine has been neglecting the basic theories of Chinese medicine and western medicine because of the way of learning western medicine and the mass production of latecomers. As a result, Chinese medicine students do not know Chinese herbs, do not know how to take a pulse, do not know how to formulate a prescription, and are faced with the embarrassment of having to turn over ancient books and copy ancient prescriptions! So what should be the way out for Chinese medicine practitioners? Because the author is shallow, and non-Chinese medicine people, temporarily here in the wild babble a few words, as a brick to attract jade: 1, Chinese medicine course materials need to be re-examined; 2, Chinese medicine study a minimum of 8 years before graduation; 3, the graduation of internship students can have a real Chinese medicine practitioner to lead the teaching; 4, visits to the digging and collection of folk effective name and test formula; 5, planting and management and acquisition of Chinese herbs must be by the Chinese medicine people to run their own business; 6, traditional Chinese medicine dosage form, prescription research and development and production must be by the Chinese medicine people! R&D and production of Chinese medicine must be supervised by Chinese medicine people; 7, the content, specification and quality of the ingredients of Chinese medicine should be standardized by Chinese medicine people; 8, law enforcement agencies should be set up to fight against fake Chinese medicine practitioners, fake Chinese medicines and inferior Chinese medicines; 9, highly encourage and support the development of Chinese medicine and Chinese medicine skills of high school students who are using new science and technology to adapt to the development of the current society and the diseases of the current Chinese medicine and the new Chinese medicine skills. The above humble opinion only represents the personal delusion. Do not like do not spray. 😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅

The way out of Chinese medicine in the future should also be to take the road of Chinese medicine with Chinese characteristics, due to the theory of Chinese medicine, etc., with the so-called modern scientific methods and equipment, can not be proved to be scientific, has always been denied, marginalized, and again by the Chinese and Western medicine to the combined left half a breath. Chinese medicine, which has been passed down for more than a thousand years, is the national treasure of China (verbalized?). It should be recognized at the national level, and Chinese medicine should be loosened (Japan can directly produce the prescription of "Typhoid Fever"), and pure Chinese medicine colleges and courses should be opened, and pure Chinese medicine clinics should be applied, and so on. The two ways to accelerate the cultivation of Chinese medicine students by teachers and apprentices and schools, and to promote and pass on Chinese medicine properly.

BEIJING, Nov. 20 (Xinhua) -- The State Council recently approved and agreed to establish Aug. 19 as China Physicians' Day since 2018, specifying that the specific work will be organized and implemented by the National Health and Family Planning Commission (NHFPC) in consultation with relevant departments.

The Physician's Day formulated by the State is, first of all, a holiday for Chinese medicine practitioners. As for March 17, which was a specific product of the Kuomintang's rule, it should be used nowadays as a national statutory holiday to maintain the unity of the country.

Chinese medicine has a very broad way out. First of all, we should unite internally and improve our own system. Subsequently, there should be responsible people to come forward to do systematic preaching and popularization.

Now the biggest problem in Chinese medicine is that there is no flagship character on behalf of Chinese medicine, looking forward to the development of Chinese medicine aspiring masters can come forward to act as a flag to carry forward Chinese medicine!
