Construct a health culture of inheritance, innovation and development of traditional Chinese medicin

Mondo Culture Updated on 2024-02-02

The main way of modern Chinese medicine innovation is to make Chinese medicine scientific through the combination of traditional Chinese medicine and Western medicine, but due to the differences between traditional Chinese medicine and Western medicine in terms of culture and knowledge system, it leads to "knot but not combination", and the innovation of traditional Chinese medicine is insufficient.

The new driving force for the innovation of health culture in traditional Chinese medicine is integrity and innovation, that is, the integration of tradition and modernity, the integration of traditional Chinese and Western medicine, and the integration of multiple disciplines.

The health culture based on the consensus of traditional Chinese and Western medicine based on cultural constructivism needs to be combined with the lifestyle of contemporary residents, and the formation of a new healthy lifestyle of residents is promoted through the understanding and application of the principles and methods of health culture of integrated Western and Western medicine.

As a treasure of traditional Chinese culture, traditional Chinese medicine carries the wisdom, philosophical thought and medical practice experience of the Chinese nation, and its inheritance, innovation and development are of great significance for safeguarding people's health, creating new medicine with Chinese characteristics, and promoting the construction of a healthy China. However, in modern times, due to the scientific trend dominated by reductionism and experimental science, the rapid development of Western medicine has affected people's perception of traditional Chinese medicine to a certain extent, so the inheritance, innovation and development of traditional Chinese medicine are facing multiple challenges. In order to promote the inheritance, innovation and development of traditional Chinese medicine, we need to carry out the construction of modern traditional Chinese medicine health culture and carry out a cultural construction action, only through the integration of traditional Chinese and Western medicine health culture construction action can we reshape the social ecosystem of traditional Chinese medicine inheritance, innovation and development, and promote the people to develop a healthy lifestyle. Only by innovating the health prevention and treatment methods of the combination of traditional Chinese medicine and Western medicine and developing new medicine with Chinese characteristics can we better inherit the cultural genes and spiritual core of traditional Chinese medicine, so that traditional Chinese medicine can better meet the health needs of society, radiate new vitality in modern society, and make greater contributions to the health of all mankind.

The current situation of inheritance, innovation and development of traditional Chinese medicine

The current state of the inheritance of traditional Chinese medicine

"Traditional Chinese medicine inheritance" is the process of transferring culture, knowledge and technology between generations of traditional Chinese medicine. The inheritance of ancient Chinese medicine is mainly to inherit the contents of classic documents, medical cases, clinical experience and other contents through teacher inheritance and family inheritance. Different from the individualization and small-scale characteristics of ancient inheritance, the inheritance of modern Chinese medicine mainly combines traditional Chinese medicine knowledge with Western medicine theory and clinical practice through school training, hospital training, subject tutor teaching, etc., and standardizes, standardizes and inherits the relevant content on a large scale.

China attaches more and more importance to the inheritance of traditional Chinese medicine, and has introduced many policies and plans to promote the inheritance of traditional Chinese medicine from a macro perspective, but there are still some problems in practice. The inheritance of modern Chinese medicine focuses too much on the transmission of knowledge and technology, and ignores the protection and development of traditional Chinese medicine culture, resulting in unsatisfactory inheritance results. Some colleges and universities have deficiencies in the education of classical Chinese medicine literature, and the students' theoretical foundation is not solid, and they lack the ability to think about clinical syndrome differentiation. In terms of talent training, although China has formed a multi-level and multi-hospital education system with college education as the main body, too much emphasis is placed on standardization and scale, which makes the inheritance of classic literature and clinical experience insufficient. In addition, in the process of diagnosis and treatment, the traditional syndrome differentiation and treatment of traditional Chinese medicine has been neglected, and the practice of disease differentiation and treatment has become increasingly popular, and if there is no "syndrome differentiation", the essence of traditional Chinese medicine will be lost.

The current state of innovation in traditional Chinese medicine

Ancient Chinese medicine innovation innovated the syndrome differentiation method of different types of diseases, and adopted the method of "annotation" in academics, which was based on the classics of Chinese medicine and combined with their own clinical experience to continuously understand and interpret. There are two main methods of "annotation", "I note the six classics, and the six classics note me", so as to carry out conceptual innovation, concept innovation, theory innovation, method innovation and technological innovation on the knowledge structure of traditional Chinese medicine.

The innovation of modern Chinese medicine is to follow the principles of organization, standardization and standardization, promote the integration of traditional Chinese and Western medicine, promote the modernization of traditional Chinese medicine, expand the application field of traditional Chinese medicine, and improve the clinical effect and level, but there are still some problems and deficiencies, such as the lack of major innovation in basic theory, at present, it is mainly the innovation of "combining elements of traditional Chinese medicine with modern medical methods", and it is difficult to grasp the complexity and dynamics of traditional Chinese medicine; lack of interdisciplinary support for innovation teams and achievements; lack of standardized and standardized index system suitable for modern TCM innovation; It is difficult to grasp the innovation of integrated Chinese and Western medicine, and some traditional Chinese medicine hospitals have lost the essence of "syndrome differentiation and treatment" of traditional Chinese medicine, and adopt the method of "disease differentiation and treatment", mechanically matching the prescription of traditional Chinese medicine with the name of Western medicine. Therefore, the problem facing the innovation of modern Chinese medicine is not whether it needs to be innovated and developed, but how to innovate and develop, and how to choose the direction and path of innovation and development of traditional Chinese medicine.

The current status of the development of traditional Chinese medicine

The development of traditional Chinese medicine has undergone a long-term process of inheritance and evolution, and the development of modern traditional Chinese medicine is to realize the new growth and sustainable development of traditional Chinese medicine in modern society.

The development of traditional Chinese medicine in ancient times originated in the Shang and Zhou dynasties, based on the theory of the Yellow Emperor's Neijing, and developed by doctors such as Zhang Zhongjing in the Han Dynasty, such as the Treatise on Typhoid Fever and Miscellaneous Diseases, which established the framework of clinical medicine. The private sector also participates in the development, such as "teacher inheritance" and "family tradition" to establish "academic schools", and the service methods include "bell doctor", "prescription medicine (village)", "medical hall sitting doctor (county town)", etc. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, it supported the development of traditional Chinese medicine, set up specialized institutions, and promoted the organizational, professional, large-scale, standardized, standardized and collaborative service model of traditional Chinese medicine hospitals, and cultivated a large number of traditional Chinese medicine talents. At the same time, it has expanded its international influence, and more and more foreign scholars have studied and used traditional Chinese medicine. At present, the development mainly focuses on the increase in the number of certain fields, and does not pay enough attention to the construction of the ecosystem for the inheritance, innovation and development of traditional Chinese medicine. We should be aware that the development of Chinese medicine is not a growth in one aspect, but needs to be developed in an all-round way.

The reasons for the lack of innovation and development of traditional Chinese medicine

Reasons for the lack of innovation in traditional Chinese medicine

The main way of modern Chinese medicine innovation is to make Chinese medicine scientific through the combination of traditional Chinese medicine and Western medicine, but due to the differences between traditional Chinese medicine and Western medicine in terms of culture and knowledge system, it leads to "knot but not combination", and the innovation of traditional Chinese medicine is insufficient.

The cohesion and integration of the two different academic theoretical paradigms are insufficient.

Traditional Chinese medicine culture is an important part of the excellent traditional Chinese culture, emphasizing the holistic concept, the idea of Taoism and the people-oriented concept of health, with the characteristics of natural and human medicine, the prevention and treatment of diseases, focusing on the harmony and balance between the individual, nature and society, and taking syndrome differentiation and treatment as the core. The knowledge system of modern medical science is based on the "structure-function" thinking model of anatomy and physiological pathology, characterized by reductionism and experimental methods, emphasizing objectivity, reproducibility and verifiability. Therefore, the two theoretical paradigms based on traditional Chinese culture and supported by scientific knowledge system need to be connected and complementary, so that the philosophical thinking of traditional Chinese medicine and the scientific thinking of modern medicine can be well integrated innovatively.

There are two opposing ways of knowing Chinese medicine and Western medicine.

Traditional Chinese medicine and Western medicine are completely different in the way of cognition, Chinese medicine has invented a way to recognize the relationship between life and disease, according to the symptoms of the human body's righteous qi and pathogenic evil qi to fight against the external symptoms, combined with the method of looking, hearing, asking and cutting to infer the pathogenesis of ** "syndrome", and establish the treatment method with the syndrome as the core, which is the cognitive way of inferring the structure of the human body from the symptoms (righteous qi function) reflected by life and pathology. Western medicine, on the other hand, is a disease medicine, which judges diseases according to the relationship between the anatomy and physiological functions of the human body and the pathological changes, and the cognitive mode is the cognitive method of structure and function, and the direction of the two cognitive paths is just opposite.

There are differences in the way of thinking between Chinese and Western medicine.

Western medicine is good at local thinking and linear thinking, while Chinese medicine is good at non-linear thinking, and there are differences in their thinking concepts and thinking methods. The local and linear way of thinking of Western medicine mainly emphasizes the specific parts and organs of the disease in diagnosis, and focuses on understanding and judging the disease through anatomical-pathological analysis and experiments. Relatively speaking, Chinese medicine is a combination of nature and man.

1. The non-linear way of thinking of the integration of mind and body emphasizes the wholeness, comprehensiveness and the interrelationship between the various organs of the human body. Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) believes that the human body is a complex living system, emphasizing the interaction between people and the environment, and focusing on the interaction between psychology and physiology.

Therefore, the innovation of modern Chinese medicine overemphasizes instrumental rationality and ignores value rationality, attaches importance to the objectivity and verifiability of simple science, and ignores the nonlinearity and mixed order of complex science. How to coordinate and integrate the two ways of thinking is a key issue that needs to be considered and solved in modern Chinese medicine innovation.

Reasons for the insufficient development of traditional Chinese medicine

There are many reasons why the development of traditional Chinese medicine faces multiple challenges. First, its theory and practice are mainly based on experience and traditional knowledge, and lack of modern scientific validation, which affects its position in the modern medical system. Secondly, the lack of unified standards for the individualized approach of traditional Chinese medicine makes it difficult to replicate and compare clinical effects. In addition, the awareness of the protection and sustainable utilization of traditional Chinese medicine resources is insufficient, and it faces problems such as resource scarcity, ecological environment damage and unstable quality. The education and training system also needs to be improved to cultivate comprehensive talents who understand both traditional Chinese medicine and modern medicine. Finally, the standardization and recognition of TCM in the international market is not high, and the barriers of regulation, certification and recognition need to be overcome when applied across borders. These problems need to be solved through innovation and adaptation to modern medical standards to promote the development of traditional Chinese medicine.

The construction of a healthy cultural ecosystem

Traditional Chinese medicine needs to establish a new health culture that is innovatively inherited

The importance of the inheritance of traditional Chinese medicine lies in maintaining the originality, integrity and continuity of traditional culture and knowledge, and ensuring that the traditional culture of traditional Chinese medicine will not be lost due to the passage of time. Cultural inheritance is the foundation of the development of traditional Chinese medicine, and it is also the premise of the modernization of traditional Chinese medicine, which provides a solid source of ideas for the sustainable innovation and development of traditional Chinese medicine.

The new momentum of modern Chinese medicine inheritance first needs to establish a new traditional Chinese medicine health culture inheritance system, new health culture inheritance elements, and a new health culture service market. Through the innovative inheritance of traditional culture to provide new kinetic energy, that is, to return to the original and open up new kinetic energy. The health culture service of modern Chinese medicine needs a new format, and the "return to the roots" of traditional Chinese medicine is to find the root and core of traditional Chinese medicine culture. Inherit the original ideological and cultural genes of traditional Chinese medicine. "To have a source of living water", the new format can maintain the characteristic advantages of traditional Chinese medicine culture.

The innovative inheritance aims to inherit the essence of traditional Chinese medicine culture, while integrating the elements of modern medical culture to meet the health needs of modern society. By returning to the basics and opening up new ones, the innovation of traditional Chinese medicine can integrate and complement each other with modern medical culture while maintaining the characteristics of traditional culture, and play a greater value.

Traditional Chinese medicine needs to form a new health culture of integrity and innovation

The driving force of the innovation of TCM health culture is integrity and innovation, that is, the integration of tradition and modernity, the integration of traditional Chinese and Western medicine, and the integration of multiple disciplines. First of all, the integration of tradition and modernity is a new driving force for the integrity and innovation of traditional Chinese medicine. Traditional Chinese medicine has a systematic health care culture and has accumulated rich practical experience, and with the development of the times, it needs to be combined with modern health theories to improve the accuracy, clinical effect and credibility of the mechanism of traditional Chinese medicine. Secondly, the integration of traditional Chinese medicine and Western medicine is an inevitable trend of integrity and innovation in modern Chinese medicine. Traditional Chinese and Western medicine have their own unique theoretical systems and diagnosis and treatment methods, but there are also complementary needs. Through the mutual learning and exchange of Chinese and Western medicine, the integration between the two can be promoted, a comprehensive model can be formed, medical effects can be improved, and a health culture of integration of Chinese and Western medicine can be jointly constructed. Finally, the integration of multiple disciplines is also an important way to construct the health culture of traditional Chinese medicine. Traditional Chinese medicine involves a wide range of fields of knowledge, including medicine, biology, sociology, astronomy, geography, philosophy, and many other disciplines. Through interdisciplinary cooperation and research, we can bring together professional knowledge and technology, thinking methods, and theoretical concepts in different fields to promote the innovation and development of TCM health culture.

Traditional Chinese medicine needs to build a new platform for the development of contextualized health culture

The new momentum for the development of modern Chinese medicine health culture requires new main body support. The construction of traditional Chinese medicine health culture needs to combine the needs of social health and the progress of science and technology to build a new development platform to promote the overall development of traditional Chinese medicine health service industry and health industry.

The development of TCM health culture needs to keep pace with the times and adapt to the health needs and social context of contemporary society. Contextual development refers to the combination of TCM health culture and practice with the real situation, forming a new development platform, establishing a new health service industry, and industrializing the development according to specific environmental and social health needs, so as to improve the applicability and practicability of TCM health culture.

The contextualized health culture development platform can also combine modern scientific and technological means, such as smart devices, big data analysis, etc., to provide convenient TCM diagnosis and treatment tools and services, and increase the practicability and convenience of TCM health culture.

The path of building a healthy culture

Construct a cultural path for healthy life of traditional Chinese and Western medicine

The health culture based on the consensus of traditional Chinese and Western medicine based on cultural constructivism needs to be combined with the lifestyle of contemporary residents, and the formation of a new healthy lifestyle of residents is promoted through the understanding and application of the principles and methods of health culture of integrated Western and Western medicine. This development path emphasizes the combination of health culture and life practice of traditional Chinese and Western medicine to meet the health needs and challenges of modern society.

The construction of health culture of traditional Chinese and Western medicine based on cultural constructivism needs to pay attention to the culture of social life. Life culture is the way of life, values and behavioral habits formed by people in a specific social and historical environment.

Construct a cultural path of health value of traditional Chinese and Western medicine

Health value culture plays an important role in the construction of health culture based on the integration of traditional Chinese and Western medicine based on cultural constructivism. The health value culture constructs a kind of social consensus of health values and health ethics that integrate traditional Chinese and Western medicine, which affects people's cognition, attitude and behavior towards health. In the process of constructing the health culture of traditional Chinese and Western medicine, the health value culture is combined with the residents' health cognition to promote the improvement of residents' awareness of the individual value and social value of health, so that they can play a greater role in the construction of modern society.

The health culture of the integration of traditional Chinese and Western medicine carries the values of traditional culture. Traditional culture focuses on the overall concept, balance and harmony, and emphasizes the harmonious relationship between man and nature, man and society. These values have a supportive effect on the psychological and physical health of modern residents, and are in line with the values of sustainable development, ecological health, and humanistic care, which are of general concern to the society.

Construct a cultural path of traditional Chinese and Western medicine health system

In the construction of health culture based on cultural constructivism, the institutional culture that promotes the development of health culture plays a key role. The cultural construction of health system is a series of norms, institutions and organizational forms, which constrain and guide people's health behaviors and activities. The construction of health culture of traditional Chinese and Western medicine needs to rely on a sound system of laws, regulations and policy support. The health system culture provides legal guarantee and policy support for the construction of health culture integrating traditional Chinese and Western medicine. Relevant laws and regulations should clarify the status and rights and interests of the combination of traditional Chinese medicine and Western medicine health culture, not only protect the traditional knowledge and cultural heritage of traditional Chinese medicine, but also ensure the legitimacy of traditional Chinese medicine culture, and promote the innovation of health culture of traditional Chinese and Western medicine. Policy support includes financial support, research funding, talent training and market access, etc., to provide a good environment and conditions for the development of Chinese and Western medicine health culture. The health culture of integrated traditional Chinese and Western medicine is conducive to the establishment of a scientific, objective and fair health evaluation system, including the evaluation and certification of traditional Chinese medicine theory, clinical practice and drug research and development. This will help to improve the quality and effectiveness of traditional Chinese medicine, promote the standardized development of traditional Chinese medicine, and provide reliable basis and guidance for the inheritance and innovation of traditional Chinese medicine.
