Traditional Chinese medicine is a treasure of our national culture and the crystallization of the civilization and wisdom of our ancestors for thousands of years. However, in modern times, compared with Western medicine, Chinese medicine has been declining, which is indeed sad.
There are subjective and objective reasons behind this:
First of all, the spread of traditional Chinese medicine in China has its own special national conditions, and many times, traditional Chinese medicine is passed on from master to apprentice and father to son.
This kind of ecology objectively leads to the restriction of the spread of traditional Chinese medicine and the limitation of the inheritance of hard-core capabilities.
Secondly, the policy is not very friendly to the traditional Chinese medicine industry.
For example, many powerful old Chinese medicine practitioners are well-known and skilled in the local area, but they are banned from practicing medicine because they do not have the so-called "professional qualifications".
You must know that there are many subjects to be tested to obtain "professional qualifications", on the one hand, some subjects are beyond the scope of folk Chinese medicine study, and it is very difficult to pass the exam;
On the other hand, even if they want to obtain it through hard work, there are some powerful Chinese medicine practitioners who are too old to do so.
These people are forbidden to practice medicine, lose the market and capital**, and may have to change careers because of their livelihood, which can easily lead to the discontinuation of the inheritance of traditional Chinese medicine, which is very unfavorable to the development of traditional Chinese medicine.
In addition, there is also a possibility: that is, the intervention of capital, traditional Chinese medicine is maliciously suppressed. Because Western medicine objectively competes with the natural existence of Chinese medicine, they are competing with each other for the market:
We all have the experience of seeing Chinese medicine, some minor diseases, Chinese medicine can solve the problem by spending one or two hundred to prescribe a few pairs of medicines, but when we go to Western medicine, various examinations and tests, and then a bunch of medicines are prescribed, and there are really no one or two thousand.
There are also some incurable diseases, and the best thinking of traditional Chinese medicine is to treat both the symptoms and the root causes, focusing on the root, which can often solve the problem fundamentally.
It spent less money and completely solved the problem, which also objectively squeezed the market space of Western medicine, and it may be inevitable to be slandered and suppressed.
Of course, Western medicine does have its own unique features: quick results and a wider audience. We can't deny Western medicine just to talk about Chinese medicine, then we will become a dragon slayer boy and become an evil dragon himself.
The two should build on their strengths and avoid weaknesses, learn from each other's strengths, coexist with each other, and work together for the benefit of mankind.
These are the current objective status quo, and the revival of Chinese medicine is the responsibility of every Chinese descendant, and it is imperative. So how can we effectively revive Chinese medicine?
In fact, the revival of Chinese medicine is a continuous process that requires a combination of factors and efforts from all sides. Here are a few avenues that may contribute to the revival of TCM::
1. Strengthen scientific research: Through continuous scientific research, discover the therapeutic mechanism and clinical application of traditional Chinese medicine.
Use more cases to further prove the value and scientificity of traditional Chinese medicine, let more people see the light of traditional Chinese medicine, and provide scientific basis and empirical cases for the revival of traditional Chinese medicine.
2. Education, training and inheritance: Strengthen the training and inheritance of TCM-related professionals, and improve the overall quality and clinical level of TCM physicians. At the same time, it can promote the internationalization of TCM education and strengthen exchanges and cooperation with foreign TCM circles.
On the one hand, we can continue to guide the promotion of "professional qualifications", and determine the awarding of qualifications through counterpart and landing examinations
On the other hand, for the old Chinese medicine practitioners with superb medical skills and good reputation, and for those who have difficulties in the examination, a special application channel for the granting of medical qualifications will be opened, which is supplemented to avoid talents being buried.
3. Policy support and legal protection: Strengthen policy support and legal protection for the cause of traditional Chinese medicine, and provide a good environment and legal guarantee for the research, innovation and application of traditional Chinese medicine.
China's national conditions are: many market behaviors are driven by policies, as long as the policy attaches importance to and provides corresponding legislative guarantees, to create a good ecology for the development of traditional Chinese medicine, the revival of traditional Chinese medicine is not an empty word.
For example, in the field of traditional Chinese medicine, there is a phenomenon of "ancestral secret recipes", which are often passed down from generation to generation.
Although it is not conducive to the promotion and benefit of more people, and is not conducive to the progress of the overall level of traditional Chinese medicine, it is the capital that people rely on to survive and support their families, and it is understandable, otherwise it is against human nature.
In the business war, we have also heard a lot of things that are both soft and hard, giving huge profits, hoping to obtain other people's secret recipes.
Even during the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression that year, there was a family of traditional Chinese medicine who was forced to hand over the secret recipe by the Japanese with a knife on their neck.
At the moment, if others are willing to contribute secret recipes for the benefit of all mankind, they should be highly praised and given corresponding material and spiritual rewards
If others are unwilling to hand over the secret recipe, they should also be protected by legislation, and they cannot be forced, and the business community still has patent legal protection, you say yes!
4. Raising public awareness and acceptance: Through active publicity and education activities, increase the public's awareness and understanding of TCM, improve the acceptance and trust of TCM, and promote the development and revival of TCM.
I saw someone on the Internet proposing to include Chinese medicine in the school's elective courses, which is indeed an exploratory initiative, which is very conducive to the popularization and promotion of Chinese medicine.
5. Strengthen international exchanges and cooperation: Promote the dissemination and recognition of traditional Chinese medicine in the international community by strengthening exchanges and cooperation with the Chinese medicine community in other countries, learning from the experience and advantages of other countries.
The revival of traditional Chinese medicine is a gradual process, which requires the continuous joint efforts of medical experts, society and the public to give full play to the unique advantages of traditional Chinese medicine and continuously promote the modernization and scientific development of traditional Chinese medicine.
