Xi Jinping, General Secretary of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, pointed out that "Chinese medicine is the treasure of Chinese civilization to deeply explore the essence of Chinese medicine, promote the integration of production, learning and research to promote the industrialization and modernization of Chinese medicine, so that Chinese medicine to the world." It can be seen that Chinese medicine will soon come out of its own sense of rhythm and serve people all over the world better.

Traditional Chinese Medicine in the Pneumonia Epidemic

As we all know, the mortality rate of new crown pneumonia is higher than that of influenza, and so far there is no accurate and effective therapeutic drug (as of 2020-03-19) .

Modern medicine treats the virus with old medicines or symptomatic treatments, and no one in the world dares to say that they can "kill" the virus, but more to help the body to recover as soon as possible.

Chinese medicine is also the same, Chinese medicine to cure the new type of pneumonia, also does not lie in the direct "kill" the virus, but lies in the change of the body's environment, improve the human body's "righteousness", take the path of the virus so that the virus has no way to go to take their own demise.

Of course, it is not excluded that some of the active ingredients of Chinese medicine can kill the new coronavirus, modern people pay attention to "evidence", pay attention to "evidence-based medicine", so far, the world is still actively rescuing patients, no one has not researched which medicine can directly kill the virus. No one has researched which medicine can directly kill the virus. The vaccines that scientists from various countries are scrambling to research are also trying to find a breakthrough by means of autoimmunity, which is in fact more or less the same.

Chinese medicine expected to kill off the epidemic

This epidemic, because Western medicine has no solution, Chinese medicine treatment of plague infectious diseases, but has 2000 years of experience, so the major Chinese medicine colleges and universities, the Chinese Medicine Bureau, Chinese medicine hospitals, experts, leaders do not spare no effort to go forward and backward pounced on the battle, even including many folk Chinese medicine practitioners also come out to volunteer, the purpose is only two: one for the rescue of the country's people, and the second for the Chinese medicine practitioners to fight for a way to live.

Chinese medicine has reached the stage where there is no way to live is there?

Yes, Chinese medicine is in a very difficult situation, which can be characterized as internal and external problems.

Despite the fact that there are many private hobbyists in Chinese medicine, most of them are a mixed bag.

internal trouble

• TCM Thinking:

Chinese medicine's "diagnosis and treatment" is currently the most in line with the human body's physiology, pathology and genetic laws of treatment ideas, but also "diagnosis and treatment", so that Chinese medicine is difficult to do thousands of the same prescription, the same word.

There are many schools of Chinese medicine, such as the classical school, the school of time prescription, the school of warm disease, the school of typhoid, the school of tonic earth, the school of Fuyang, etc. There is cooperation and hostility among various schools, especially some Chinese medicine practitioners who are not tolerant enough and tend to insist on their own views, which creates a great difficulty for the "general unification" of Chinese medicine.

Chinese medicine has always been a hundred schools of thought, the classic schools of thought occupy the lead, but there is no completely unified leader, which leads to, online many Western medicine black Chinese medicine, the Chinese medicine sector can not be neat and tidy voice of the embarrassing situation.

It is also because of the lack of complete unification that there are many problems and deviations in the training of Chinese medicine practitioners in terms of inheritance.

A hundred schools of thought in Chinese medicine

Folk teachers of Chinese medicine can closely with the people together, but it is difficult to touch the whole huge system of Chinese medicine, by the academy of Chinese medicine as "minutiae"; academy of Chinese medicine mastered most of the resources of Chinese medicine and the mainstream of thought, but by the influence of the modern hospital management model, it is very difficult to penetrate into the folk, to grasp the changes in the disease of the first-hand clinical information. Clinical information.

This is the problem of Chinese medicine itself, and this is the "internal problem". If Chinese medicine wants to grow, this is a problem that must be solved no matter what.

foreign aggression

There are also two main external problems: the increasingly westernized Chinese people have difficulty in accepting traditional medicine's mode of thinking; and traditional Chinese medicine is facing the crisis of being plagiarized and renamed by Asian traditional medicine.

• Inability of modern thinking to accept Chinese medicine theories

Under the influence of modern culture, all young Chinese (including me) have received modern education, modern thinking and modern methods, which are incompatible with traditional Chinese medicine, which has been labeled as "witchcraft" and "sorcery".

The great man Mao Zedong, who benefited a lot from Chinese medicine, once commented on the thinking of Chinese and Western medicine in this way: "Chinese and Western medicine, each has its own strengths. The Chinese say chakra, the Western say experiment. However, those who talk about qi and pulse, the reason is too subtle, the common man is difficult to recognize, so often lost in the virtual. Words of experimentation, seeking specialized quality and gas is away, so often lose their own, then the two are biased."

Mao Zedong's comments on Chinese medicine

In people with it, effective on the line, Chinese medicine to record it, will cause what adverse reactions, summarize and pass on to future generations; modern medicine, do animal experiments, to prove that it has no use, the test proved useful, put on the market, the back found that the side effects are too large, and then recycling.

Many people think that Western medicine is because of economic interests to squeeze Chinese medicine, this is a part, but more importantly, the two thinking is not consistent, modern people do not have the soil of the ancient culture, think that the pursuit of "science" is the "truth", for the heart of the "truth" chatter, is the most difficult to change people. The people who keep on talking about "truth" are the ones who are the most difficult to change.

Modern Medical Animal Models

The Japanese have obtained patents for 210 ancient formulas from the "Treatise on Typhoid Miscellaneous Diseases" and the "Essential Formulas of the Golden Chamber". According to the statistics of the Japan Association of Chinese Herbal Biomedicine Preparations, the market size of Japanese Chinese herbal medicines is about 200 billion yen, of which the proportion of those oriented to medical treatment accounts for 80% to 85%; those oriented to the general public, i.e., those that can be purchased at general pharmacies, account for 15% to 20%. World Patent Database statistics show that in the world patent applications for herbal and botanical medicines, China's patent applications for Chinese medicines accounted for only 0.3%, and Japan has seized more than 70% of the patents for international proprietary Chinese medicines.

This is, for example, I wrote an article, next door ah east plagiarized me, ah east does not know what the article is writing, and finally everyone said ah east is so good. Japanese Chinese medicine to medical storage medicine, in the Chinese medicine seems to be a rootless tree, Naihe people government support, popular support, marketing done well, the brain and flexible, hard to Chinese medicine squeezed down. This is the death of Chinese medicine outside.

Dawn of the Darkness

Chinese medicine is so difficult, but there is still a little hope.

In 1973, the state of Nevada enacted the world's first Chinese medicine law, and acupuncture was legalized for the first time. over the past 40 years, Chinese medicine, represented by acupuncture, has long been famous all over the world. According to incomplete statistics, at present, worldwide, there are more than 50,000 Chinese medicine medical institutions, distributed in more than 130 countries and regions in the world, more than 120,000 physicians.

American swimmer Phelps, former swimming champion Coughlin and movie queen Gwyneth are all fans of Chinese medicine and are keen on fire cupping treatment. If it does not work, crooked people are not stupid. Four ancient civilizations only China is left, the efficacy of Chinese medicine is still the biggest foundation.

As a result of this new pneumonia epidemic, Chinese medical experts have rushed to Italy, Iraq and other countries with a large amount of medical supplies. Among the medicines brought by China this time are the Chinese medicines Lianhua Qingdian and Jinhua Qingdian, both of which are derived from two ancient Chinese prescriptions.

Academician Zhang Boli, an expert of the Central Steering Group, introduced that some research institutes in South Korea, Japan and Italy have already sent letters to them, firstly, willing to share their experience in fighting against the new coronary pneumonia epidemic, and secondly, to let the experience of using traditional Chinese medicine be provided to them as a reference. The country has already translated the experience of use into English to the other side. (Source: Guangzhou Daily)

On March 18th, at the China-US Chinese Medicine Practitioners Network Exchange Meeting, Academician Zhang Boli, an expert of the Central Steering Group, and his team and American Chinese medicine practitioners, exchanged views on the new crown of Chinese medicine treatment.

Academician Zhang described four features of China's fight against the epidemic: one is the "four early", i.e., early prevention, early detection, early isolation and early treatment. Among other things, patients in isolation sites were generally given Chinese medicine tonics, which curbed the spread of the disease. The second is the establishment of square pod hospitals, where all patients are admitted and treated. Thirdly, treatment with Chinese characteristics was implemented, with more than 91% of patients receiving Chinese medicine treatment. Fourth, the introduction of the "three medicines, three parties" of traditional Chinese medicine, which has played a good role. (Source: China Daily)

This may be an opportunity for Chinese medicine to step out of the country and go global again. After the epidemic, I believe that foreign countries will set off a "Chinese medicine fever", but Chinese medicine, as the soil of Chinese medicine, still has a long way to go.

For more on Chinese medicine, follow Dr. Zhang! A TCM practitioner who doesn't know Western medicine is not a good author.

This Q&A is an original work, if reproduced please give credit to the source.

First of all, to establish a university of traditional Chinese medicine, learning the theory of traditional Chinese medicine, mastering the classification and efficacy of traditional Chinese medicine, at the same time to hire old experts with practical experience to take students to internship, while diagnosing and explaining, but also let students first diagnosis prescription, experts and then see and modify the prescription, point out the wrong places, and back to the students, the combination of this theoretical and practical methods to train fast out of the talent.

Then there should be a specialized Chinese medicine hospital, not a small department in the Western medical doctor.

There is also the fact that herbs have to meet the needs of hospitals so that medicine is not disconnected. This would include the planting of medicines and the processing of Chinese medicines to be infused into usable tablets in the pharmacy. Strengthen the production of proprietary Chinese medicines to provide convenience for patients. Setting up specialties for the elderly and combining treatment and care. I am not a professional, not necessarily comprehensive, for reference.

To solve the problem of medical license will allow Chinese medicine out of the dilemma, the implementation of a set of Chinese medicine proven Chinese medicine license, rather than the nominal, set of Western medical system, sincerely hope that Chinese medicine has its own bottom-up Chinese characteristics of Chinese medicine system!

If we want Chinese medicine to get out of its own rhythm, we must separate from Western medicine, and separate first before talking about the combination. Not everyone can discuss the combination of Chinese and Western medicine, only Chinese medicine doctors can talk about the combination of Chinese and Western medicine. For example, Zhang Xichun is the most successful figure in the combination of Chinese and Western medicine. It is the combination of Chinese and Western medicine, Chinese medicine can not change the ideology and theory of Chinese medicine. As Mr. Zhang Xichun said, the theories of Chinese medicine include the theories of Western medicine, and they are a thousand times higher than those of Western medicine, as evidenced by the elaboration of the Yellow Emperor's Classic of Internal Medicine (HUNDI NEIJING). For example, Western medicine believes that the brain thinks, but Chinese medicine believes that the brain is the internal organs of the gods, and wisdom is indeed generated by the heart, so the Chinese character for "Si" is a field on top, and the field represents the head, which is a simplification of fontanel, and the bottom is a heart. But modern medicine has just proved that the heart produces memory. That is why the thousands of years old ancestors have to be thousands of years above Western medicine. Chinese medicine can not be measured with the Western medical point of view, there are some Chinese medicine can be tested to find out its effectiveness, but there are many Chinese medicines Western medicine can not be verified, such as floating wheat, Chinese medicine with floating wheat is to take the significance of the nature of its ascending, so that other medicines can be used to treat the upper part of the human body diseases. So western medicine can never understand, because this nature now science can not test. But Chinese medicine to remove this medicine will not achieve the purpose of the cure, because Chinese medicine has been tried and tested.

For decades, Western medicine has ruled Chinese medicine, including the University of Chinese Medicine, which follows the planned tutorials of Western medicine, and it is not surprising that university graduates do not know how to see a doctor. As long as the Chinese medicine from the constraints of Western medicine, the near future of Chinese medicine will never lag behind Western medicine, because the ancients have left the Chinese nation a valuable treasure, is the four classics of Chinese medicine. Posterity is not without development, because of the age of ancient books inevitably have copied the wrong time, so there are medical Lin corrected. Then later is has been suppressed, but Chinese medicine has not died. So I have to say, Chinese medicine want to get out of their own rhythm must be detached from the Western medicine, to fight against it. I believe that it is never TCM that is defeated. Of course modern scientific instruments should not be exclusive to Western medicine.

During the development of Chinese medicine, its own strength is combined with inheritance, and its overall strength is combined with modern technology in order to be recognized by people.

Chinese medicine is a medical and pharmaceutical science, with a long history, a unique theoretical system, a wealth of practical experience, and indelible achievements, not music, not gymnastics, no need for rhythm.

The most important thing is to remove those moo goat dogs who extremely worship western medicine from the decision-making level of health care, and the state vigorously publicizes Chinese medicine, cracks down on pseudo-Chinese medicine, and supports the family tradition of Chinese medicine and Chinese medicine.

I I think China's traditional Chinese medicine to get out of their own specialty medical technology, for the country for the people for the world to recognize. First of all, we should relax the policy, lift the restrictions on the free practice of folk Chinese medicine, and verify those pseudo-Chinese medicine practitioners who have practicing certificates. Chinese medicine has been derived from folk Chinese medicine practitioners since ancient times through practical experience. Chinese medicine cannot be verified by scientific and theoretical knowledge. Only the experience of the patients can be trusted to confirm the medical skills of the Chinese medicine practitioners, and they cannot be verified on the basis of their practising certificates. In this way, Chinese medicine can have a better promotion and development, Chinese medicine treatment can be better recognized by the Chinese people and the world.

Chinese medicine, in the fight against the 'new crown' epidemic, the efficacy is remarkable, in the world 'pandemic', made some breakthroughs in the situation, the credit can not be ignored. But never be complacent and lose yourself. Talking about the development of the standard rhythm, Chinese medicine is still difficult to say that the quasi-spectrum, there is still a great misunderstanding of the misconceptions, did not find the right tone. Just maintain the 'scene ″, maintain the 'decent', confused with the 'essence of the core' of the 'inside'.

It's not about throwing cold water, it's about keeping your head above water.

If you know yourself and know your enemy, you will not be in danger in a hundred battles. The sages say:People should know themselves.

Anti-epidemic, so that 'Chinese medicine' removed the imposed 'unscientific' hat, bright and shiny, standing in front of the world of medicine. But this is just an examination paper, the real core essence of the exploration or no breakthrough, just ride the waves of resistance to move forward, handed over a satisfactory answer sheet only. By no means can be overjoyed, their own incompleteness, ″Black and Black're not letting go, the road is still very long and arduous.

Only digging out the core of the essence of the ancestral 'treasure', to overcome the 'difficult' difficulties, to find the key points, in order to apply freely. The missing point is not in the face, the iron first need to harden itself.

It is a heavy task and a long way to go.
