Traditional Chinese medicine is a broad and profound knowledge. As a layman talking about Chinese medicine, it really feels like "Hua Tuo sells prescriptions at his door". However, it is our duty to support and promote the development of traditional Chinese medicine. To support and promote it, we must meet the "doorway". Therefore, I look at Chinese medicine from the perspective of philosophy and mission, and share some thoughts.
Prospects for the development of traditional Chinese medicine
Traditional Chinese medicine, as a traditional medical system with a long history, has protected the reproduction and prosperity of the Chinese nation for thousands of years and is a major contribution of China to world civilization. Traditional Chinese medicine contains rich philosophical thoughts and humanistic spirit, and is an important content and main carrier of Chinese culture that has been passed down for thousands of years. As Chairman Mao said: Chinese medicine is a great treasure house.
In the context of the widespread development of Western medicine, the irreplaceable role of traditional Chinese medicine still exists objectively. With the development and progress of society, and as people’s understanding of Western medicine and traditional Chinese medicine continues to deepen, the advantages of traditional Chinese medicine are increasingly evident. With the prominent trend, the historical opportunity for the revitalization and development of traditional Chinese medicine is coming to us.
First, to implement the Scientific Outlook on Development and improve the health of the people, we must support and promote the development and revitalization of traditional Chinese medicine.
Second, with the improvement of people's living standards and the growing health needs, there is an urgent need for faster revitalization of traditional Chinese medicine, a better integration of traditional Chinese and Western medicine, and the provision of higher-level medical and health services.
Thirdly, in the period of social transformation, people are under increased pressure in work, life, study, etc., sub-healthy people are increasing in number, and psychological problems and diseases are also increasing in number. There is an urgent need for traditional Chinese medicine to give full play to its advantages for effective treatment. Conditioning.
Fourth, people are increasingly aware of the special advantages of traditional Chinese medicine in the treatment of diseases such as women and children, and are eager to serve them.
Fifth, "If a parent does not know medical treatment, it is called unkindness; if a child does not know medical treatment, it is said to be unfilial." Moreover, people’s demand for health care is becoming increasingly strong, and Chinese medicine urgently needs to adapt to it.
Sixth, the "working" function of traditional Chinese medicine in "preventing disease" is showing extremely broad prospects, requiring traditional Chinese medicine to be revitalized as soon as possible and take on important responsibilities.
Seventh, today’s world is more complex and competition is becoming more fierce. The thinking method of traditional Chinese medicine is also a way to help people understand the world. The powerful cognitive function carried by traditional Chinese medicine can be said to be another way to understand the world. A pair of eyes.
Eighth, to achieve better harmony between man and nature, man and society, and man’s own body and mind, we also need the help of traditional Chinese medicine culture.
Ninth, the enhancement of the country’s economic and scientific and technological strength has provided more powerful support for the development and innovation of traditional Chinese medicine.
In short, I think that people, nature and society are not as eagerly looking forward to the rapid development and revitalization of traditional Chinese medicine as they are now. The cause of traditional Chinese medicine is facing an unprecedented historical call, which is in line with reality. After the work in recent years, the spring tide of revitalization of traditional Chinese medicine has begun to surge in the land of China.
However, we also see very clearly that the current traditional Chinese medicine industry itself is still unable to take on important tasks. Problems such as lack of talents, shrinking services, lack of tradition, alienation from classics, insufficient innovation, inferior quality of traditional Chinese medicine, and inadequate education model and the growth pattern of traditional Chinese medicine talents are quite worrying. Party committees, governments, departments, industries, and all aspects of society must comply with historical expectations, have a high sense of responsibility to shoulder the mission of the times, take strong and effective measures, and seize the day in the spirit of conscientiously implementing the provisions of the Party Central Committee and the State Council. Decision-making and deployment to support and promote the development of traditional Chinese medicine, effectively solve existing outstanding problems, launch effective measures to stimulate the vitality and vitality of the development of traditional Chinese medicine as soon as possible, and create a new situation in the development of traditional Chinese medicine.
The concept of developing traditional Chinese medicine
To implement the party and the country’s major policies on supporting and promoting the development of traditional Chinese medicine, we must first unify our ideological understanding and establish correct concepts.
First, we must strengthen our belief in traditional Chinese medicine. In such a difficult situation for Chinese medicine, the first thing to learn, use, and develop Chinese medicine is to have a firm belief in Chinese medicine.
The belief in traditional Chinese medicine mentioned here mainly includes four meanings: First, the belief in the efficacy of traditional Chinese medicine. The efficacy of traditional Chinese medicine has been proven by thousands of years of practice and is an objective fact. The second is to firmly believe in the concept of traditional Chinese medicine. The most important thing is the holistic view of traditional Chinese medicine, which is derived from ancient Chinese philosophy and emphasizes the unity of nature and man, the integration of the five internal organs, the balance of yin and the secret of yang, the dominance of yang and yin, etc. This is a treasure of the Chinese nation's way of thinking. The third is to firmly believe in the advantages of traditional Chinese medicine. The biggest feature and greatest advantage of traditional Chinese medicine is that it adjusts the parts as a whole, that is, syndrome differentiation and treatment, to nourish the body and mind, nourish the five internal organs, nourish qi and blood, and strengthen the body and eliminate evil. "When righteousness exists, evil cannot be done." With the progress of social economy and culture and the improvement of people's health needs, this advantage will become more and more obvious. Fourth, we firmly believe in the prospects of traditional Chinese medicine. Although some people clamor for the abolition of traditional Chinese medicine from time to time, traditional Chinese medicine is going global. According to statistics, traditional Chinese medicine has been spread to more than 140 countries and regions. There are more than 50,000 traditional Chinese medicine medical institutions around the world. The total annual global trade in traditional Chinese medicine exceeds 20 billion US dollars. It can be said that the prospects are broad and immeasurable.
Second, the spirit of traditional Chinese medicine must be promoted. I understand that the core spirit of traditional Chinese medicine embodies the essence of the excellent traditional culture of the Chinese nation to a considerable extent. It is conceivable that the best achievements of Chinese civilization must first be applied to the care of one's own health, and of course must also be applied to the governance of the country. Because of this, doctors and physiognomists can communicate with each other, and there can be good doctors instead of good physiognomies. So what does the spirit of traditional Chinese medicine include? I think it should be mainly reflected in four aspects: First, harmony between man and nature. That is to say, man and nature must be in harmony, man and society must be in harmony, and man's own body and mind must be in harmony. These three harmonies are the best realm of life and the best state of society. That is what Marx said: The free development of each person is the condition for the free development of all people. The second is syndrome differentiation and treatment. The spirit of dialectical treatment is to first analyze the dominant problem, comprehensively analyze multiple factors, and analyze specific problems concretely. This is completely consistent with the spirit of dialectics, that is, it requires dialectical understanding of problems and handling of problems. This is not only for the treatment itself, but also for the treatment of diseases. Analyzing and solving problems are of universal significance. The third is benevolence and benevolence. Without virtue, there is no medicine, and it is difficult to solve problems with limited talent. Traditional Chinese medicine pays most attention to people-oriented and both moral and technical skills. The fourth is to help the world and cure diseases. The cure is self-evident. So what is Jishi? How to save the world? In fact, it is to teach people to cultivate their moral character and maintain a healthy body and mind through treating diseases, and to help people establish a correct world outlook, outlook on life and values. Why do excellent Chinese medicine practitioners need to have in-depth communication with patients when treating patients? It is to help patients recuperate physically and mentally. Therefore, traditional Chinese medicine not only treats people, but also has positive significance in promoting social harmony and promoting social progress. You can see how wonderful Chinese medicine is!
Third, it must be centered on efficacy. All actions and measures to develop traditional Chinese medicine must focus on curative effect, service curative effect, and beneficial curative effect. Curative effect is the last word.
Fourth, talent must be the foundation. The good curative effect of traditional Chinese medicine, the development of traditional Chinese medicine, and health are achieved by outstanding talents of traditional Chinese medicine. Without the growth and emergence of a large number of outstanding Chinese medicine talents, the good curative effects of Chinese medicine will be in vain, and the development of Chinese medicine will also be in vain. Therefore, the most important and urgent thing for the current development of traditional Chinese medicine is talent, the second is talent, and the third is talent. Excellent teachers of traditional Chinese medicine are the most fundamental talents. All relevant parties must take the most powerful and effective measures to speed up the construction of a team of excellent Chinese medicine talents, especially the construction of a team of Chinese medicine teachers.
Fifth, classics must be the soul. The knowledge of traditional Chinese medicine is reflected in the classics, and the true meaning is contained in the classics. Chairman Mao said that traditional Chinese medicine in China is a great treasure house. Where is the treasure house? It’s in the classics, and it’s in the outstanding Chinese medicine talents who master the classics. Without classics, there would be no Chinese medicine. Therefore, to develop traditional Chinese medicine, we must organize, guide, promote, and help traditional Chinese medicine schools and the traditional Chinese medicine industry to learn, study, understand, understand, and use classics. It is not easy to read the classics thoroughly. For the classics, familiarity does not mean true knowledge, true knowledge does not mean true use, and true use does not mean good use. You should let reading and understanding the scriptures accompany your own TCM life, constitute your own TCM life, and lead your own TCM life.
On the road of reading and understanding the scriptures, and in the unremitting pursuit and climbing in the "metaphysical" direction, you will surely appreciate and experience the incomparably magnificent, mysterious and charming scenery and beautiful scenery of traditional Chinese medicine. As a TCM practitioner, classics such as "The Yellow Emperor's Internal Classic" and "Treatise on Febrile Diseases" must be read carefully. "The Yellow Emperor's Inner Canon" is both medical, philosophical and encyclopedic. I believe that those who truly understand and thoroughly read the "Huangdi's Inner Canon" should be people with high wisdom, high realm and high sense of happiness, no matter what career they are engaged in.
Sixth, it must be based on education. After human society entered industrialization, education also expanded in order to meet the large-scale talent needs of industrialization. China has a large population and needs a large number of TCM talents, so not long after the founding of New China, TCM schools were established one after another. With traditional Chinese medicine school education, large-scale training of Chinese medicine teams has begun. However, the law of growth of TCM talents determines that the basic function of TCM school education should focus on teaching the basic theoretical foundation and basic practical skills of TCM, so as to lay a solid foundation for future growth and development. Including ideological foundation, theoretical foundation, practical foundation, especially the foundation of traditional Chinese medicine classics. To this end, traditional Chinese medicine schools should pay attention to summing up experience, insist on deepening reforms, constantly improve the level of school running, and cultivate more young students and outstanding talents who are interested in the career of traditional Chinese medicine through the schools.
Seventh, we must use teacher-teacher as the ladder. A good foundation has been laid. To grow into a truly qualified and outstanding Chinese medicine talent, one must have the ladder to continue climbing forward. This ladder is the master's biography. The special attributes of traditional Chinese medicine determine that it is very difficult to learn its true skills and skills without a teacher. The most effective way is to teach from master to master, and the master-disciple teaching should be carried out on a large scale as much as possible. This is extremely important for the development of traditional Chinese medicine, and strong measures must be taken to promote it.
Eighth, clinical practice must be the classroom. There are endless topics and endless knowledge in clinical practice. Clinical practice should be a lifelong classroom for doctors. Practicing medicine in the clinic, learning in the clinic, and improving one's realm and skills in the clinic are the basic life of all doctors, especially Chinese medicine practitioners.
Ninth, cultivation must be the way. Medicine is the most sacred profession in the world, so those who are virtuous but not close to the Buddha cannot be doctors, and those whose skills are not close to the immortals cannot be doctors. A splendid life as a Chinese medicine practitioner must be diligent in learning, following the classics, and becoming successful in practice. In essence, an excellent Chinese medicine doctor is not one who learns, but one who practices. Noble medical ethics depends on practice, superb medical skills depend on practice, and advanced kung fu depends on practice. By cultivating to purify your mind and upright nature, cultivate your mind, and gain direct access to the great road, you will surely become a great doctor. Since it is cultivation, of course you have to be able to bear the hardships, but there must be sweetness in the bitterness, and great bitterness in the great sweetness. It can be said that if you choose traditional Chinese medicine, you choose holiness, hardship, climbing, and happiness.
Tenth, we must innovate while inheriting. Traditional Chinese medicine attaches great importance to tradition and classics, but also places particular emphasis on innovation. It is the nature of Chinese medicine to follow the heavens and the times and keep pace with the times. Excellent Chinese medicine breeds innovation and contains innovation every time it differentiates and treats syndromes. But innovation in traditional Chinese medicine must be innovation that inherits tradition and adheres to the basic spirit of classics. For traditional Chinese medicine, there is no innovation without inheritance, and there is no development without innovation. The breadth and depth of Chinese medicine is due to the long-lasting permeability of its classics. Therefore, traditional Chinese medicine must emphasize inheritance, then innovation, and innovate and develop in inheritance.
Eleventh, we must adhere to the coordinated development of traditional Chinese medicine. Vigorously strengthen the management of traditional Chinese medicines, focus on ensuring the quality of traditional Chinese medicines, promote the sustainable development of traditional Chinese medicine resources, develop and construct authentic Chinese medicine production bases, modern Chinese medicine industries and industrial systems, do everything possible to improve the quality of Chinese medicines, and meet the needs of all aspects of Chinese medicines.
Twelfth, it must be supported by strong policies. With traditional Chinese medicine in such a difficult situation, policies and measures to support and promote its development must be strong enough. Policies related to the development of traditional Chinese medicine must be policies that are greatly conducive to the implementation of the above eleven aspects. The most critical thing must be policies that are greatly conducive to attracting and motivating Chinese medicine talents to love Chinese medicine and devote themselves to Chinese medicine. The diagnosis and treatment of excellent Chinese medicine practitioners is a labor of high intelligence, and the consultation fee must be appropriate. In short, we must make traditional Chinese medicine one of the most envied and respected professions in the whole society.
Improve the quality of talent training in traditional Chinese medicine schools
Generally speaking, traditional Chinese medicine schools should follow the scientific development concept and the party’s education policy
