As a unique cultural heritage in China, the culture of traditional Chinese medicine has a long history and is broad and profound. It brings together the wisdom and experience of countless medical scientists over thousands of years, forming a complete theoretical system and rich practical results. For example, great medical scientists such as Li Shizhen, Sun Simiao, Zhang Zhongjing, and Huangfu Mi have condensed their life's work into medical masterpieces such as "Compendium of Materia Medica", "Qianjin Yao Fang", "Treatise on Typhoid Fever and Miscellaneous Diseases", "Acupuncture and Moxibustion A and B Sutra", and these medical research results still play an important role in the health and well-being of all mankind. It can be said that Chinese medicine is a great invention of mankind and a treasure that China is proud of.
However, what is puzzling is that in the birthplace of traditional Chinese medicine, in China, which has been proud of Chinese culture since ancient times and has saved people with traditional Chinese medicine, such an organization as the Anti-Chinese Medicine Alliance has appeared. Recently, this organization also blatantly held a conference in a certain city, which is undoubtedly ignoring and denying the great contribution and far-reaching influence of traditional Chinese medicine, as well as the negation of Chinese civilization and the contribution of traditional Chinese medicine to mankind, and it is also a challenge to traditional Chinese medicine. This kind of behavior is tantamount to carving a mark of shame on the treasures of human civilization, which makes people deeply sad and worried.
The existence of the Anti-TCM Alliance is not based on in-depth understanding and rational understanding and analysis of TCM, but out of ignorance and misunderstanding of TCM. They did not realize the overall concept of Chinese medicine and the core idea of dialectical treatment, did not understand the important position and role of Chinese medicine in maintaining human health, did not see the role of Chinese medicine in reality, and did not see the contribution and value of Chinese medicine. They are misled by some one-sided, even misinformation, and develop prejudice and hostility towards TCM.
As a Chinese, I deeply regret this phenomenon. We can understand that foreigners do not recognize the value of Chinese medicine, but as a Chinese trampling on the precious heritage left by our ancestors for thousands of years, I not only cannot understand but am deeply angry. You can not support it, and you don't seek Chinese medicine when you are sick, but you can't oppose it according to your own cognition and preferences!Why can't you treat it objectively, rationally and respectfully?
It can be seen that our publicity and attention to traditional Chinese medicine are not enough, and the support for traditional Chinese medicine education is not strong enough. In the future, we need to strengthen the publicity and education of TCM culture, so that more people can understand and recognize the true value of TCM. In addition, we also need to conduct in-depth research and analysis of traditional Chinese medicine through scientific methods and rigorous attitudes, reveal its scientific and practical nature, and let more people understand traditional Chinese medicine and learn the knowledge of traditional Chinese medicine. At the same time, we also need to resolutely oppose those who smear and attack TCM, so as to safeguard the dignity and status of TCM. The treasures handed down by our ancestors must not be destroyed in our hands.
I believe that as long as we protect TCM and inherit the culture of TCM, no matter what era or challenges we encounter, TCM, a treasure of human civilization, will continue to play its unique role and make greater contributions to the health and well-being of mankind. The victory of the SARS epidemic and the effective suppression of the new crown virus are the most powerful proof.
