Reflections on the current situation of Chinese medicine

1, Chinese medicine theory has not yet found a modern scientific language to match, which makes it difficult for modern people to understand and master 1, Chinese medicine is a science, must be studied by scientific means, but the language system of Chinese medicine theory is ancient Chinese, while the language system of modern science is mathematics, there is a huge gap between the two. 2. There are ontological knowledge in TCM theory that western medicine does not have, such as qi, blood, meridians, and special macroscopic laws, such as the law of meridian body surface connection, the law of meridian visceral connection, etc., which have not been clearly elaborated by modern science. Li Zongqiang, Department of Oncology, Jining City Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine Second, some existing policies and management systems of TCM are not conducive to the development of TCM, and need to be adjusted. 1, in clinical aspects, hospital management, physician qualification access, and even thesis selection and medical incident identification, TCM is judged by the standards of modern medicine, so that the original system of TCM theory and treatment experience is dismembered and broken, and what is lost is precisely the specialty of TCM. 2. In scientific research, because the methods of understanding things are different between Chinese medicine and modern medicine, the methods and standards of modern medicine are used to study Chinese medicine instead of the laws of Chinese medicine itself, which is detached from the essence of Chinese medicine and hinders the development of Chinese medicine according to its own laws, resulting in the loss of the characteristics of Chinese medicine. 3. In education, the method of cultivating modern medical talents is used to train TCM talents, so that there are fewer and fewer TCM personnel who can really apply TCM theories to clinical practice according to the way of thinking of TCM, and the situation of lack of TCM academic successors has been revealed. At present, the number of Chinese medicine colleges and Western medicine colleges in China is disparate, and the curriculum of Chinese medicine colleges is half Chinese medicine and half Western medicine, or 6:4, while Western medicine colleges have only a few dozen hours of Chinese medicine courses. It is not wrong for colleges to systematically learn and master modern medical knowledge in order to adapt students to their work needs and meet medical demands. The students who graduated from TCM colleges entered the hospitals, and in order to complete their work and adapt to the clinical needs of patients, they had to learn Western medicine again to meet the needs of emergency care and rescue of critical patients, so that the little knowledge and skills of TCM that they had mastered were lost again and again. The cause of this consequence is not in the students or doctors, nor in the hospitals and schools, but in the management system and mechanism. Institutional education and the current hospital management system, operation mechanism, and policy guidance together become the driving force of the westernization of TCM. Third, the prejudice against Chinese medicine affects the development of Chinese medicine 1, the weakening of traditional cultural heritage and the impact of modern medicine, Chinese medicine for thousands of years to survive and develop the traditional cultural background due to the weakening of heritage and gradually disappear, affecting the inheritance and understanding of Chinese medicine theory, and Chinese medicine theory and modern technology is not enough combined, in history had advanced Chinese medicine treatment and technical means are far behind the times, can not ensure The effective application of TCM theories is not guaranteed. Modern medicine, on the other hand, has been able to make use of a large number of modern science and technology, and the clinical treatment methods are changing day by day. In clinical practice, Chinese medicine has been greatly impacted by modern medicine. 2, the harm of prejudice, in the world, although each year due to the toxic side effects of Western drugs are harmed by millions of people, but people are familiar with it; and due to the incorrect use of Chinese medicines such as gentian diarrhea of the liver pills and other adverse reactions caused by the publicity is boiling. The truth is that most of the abuses of Chinese medicines like Gentian and Liver Pills are by the hands of doctors who have not mastered the academics of Chinese medicine. They violate the basic theories of Chinese medicine, do not discriminate and use Gentian and Liver Pills incorrectly, causing adverse consequences, but attribute them to adverse drug reactions and force them on the head of Chinese medicine, believing that Chinese medicine is not scientific and that Chinese medicine is harmful, but in fact, the harm of Chinese medicine is in people not in medicine. It is not that Chinese medicine is not working, but that people who use Chinese medicine are not working. Fourth, the development of Chinese medicine a few points of understanding 1, change the ideological understanding, popularize the knowledge of Chinese medicine, eliminate the prejudice against Chinese medicine, Chinese medicine, should not be forced to draw conclusions, nor easily denied, as long as the objective existence of the attitude of recognition, to recognize the existence of macro knowledge and micro knowledge of the two types of knowledge, for non-modern cognitive system outside the way of thinking and knowledge to give full respect and research. The scientific nature of TCM theory should not be easily denied just because it cannot be explained by modern science. If Chinese medicine is used properly, the level of treatment of many diseases can be improved significantly or even exponentially, and many diseases that cannot be solved by modern medicine can be solved by Chinese medicine. Especially in the current situation where modern medicine is helpless in many diseases, the advantages of Chinese medicine should not be ignored. Therefore, we should pay attention to and make great efforts to promote and popularize the knowledge of Chinese medicine, eliminate the prejudice against Chinese medicine, and improve the general public’s understanding and recognition of Chinese medicine. 2, the inheritance and development of traditional Chinese medicine The inheritance and development of Chinese medicine should not only pay attention to the use of modern scientific research methods and the standardization of Chinese medicine, but also not simply use modern medical standards and research methods to apply the theories and clinical evidence of Chinese medicine, not completely use the standards of Western medicine and Western medicine to measure Chinese medicine and traditional Chinese medicine, and not completely use the management methods of Western medicine to manage Chinese medicine. TCM should develop according to its own rules, and in medical practice must adhere to the close integration of TCM, research and development of modern treatment methods with TCM characteristics; in the training of personnel must pay attention to teacher education, and explore the combination of teacher education and institutional education. 3, modernization of Chinese medicine The original scientific and technological platform of Chinese medicine has aged and cannot fully meet the needs of the times. In order to keep up with the development of the times, Chinese medicine needs to inherit and carry forward the classical Chinese medical thought, and closely combine with modern science and technology, transfer from the ancient science and technology platform to the modern science and technology platform, and establish the modern Chinese medicine theory system. Modern Chinese medicine needs to combine the power of multiple disciplines to create a scientific and technological platform that includes modern medical knowledge and modern mathematics, astronomy, geography and other knowledge, and expresses the concepts of “unity of heaven and man”, “holistic concept” and “diagnosis and treatment” in modern scientific language, so that they can be more easily understood and grasped by modern people, and uses modern technology to research and develop modern treatment methods of Chinese medicine, so that traditional Chinese medicine can be developed into a “Chinese medicine” with Chinese characteristics. Only in this way can TCM be developed into a modern Chinese medicine with Chinese characteristics, which is “strong and powerful”, and truly benefit the people. All kinds of modern medical treatment methods, experimental techniques and various research results can be boldly adopted by Chinese medicine. Modern medical testing means to expand the horizons of Chinese medicine, to the Chinese medicine of the look, smell, ask, cut a greater space, Chinese medicine in the examination of human disease, to use all available modern scientific and technological means to check and collect a variety of condition information; Chinese medicine in the implementation of specific treatment to patients on the link, you can make full use of modern medical technology means. The key is: all the collected examination data should be analyzed according to the theory of Chinese medicine, and the use of modern treatment means must also be guided by the theory of Chinese medicine, reflecting the holistic view of Chinese medicine and evidence-based treatment. Fourth, government-led, policy support Policies can determine the survival of an industry, the survival of a discipline, and even the survival of a culture. Chinese medicine in China is protected by the Constitution, the fundamental law of the country, and in 2003, the “Regulations of the People’s Republic of China on Chinese Medicine” was introduced, indicating the distinctive support attitude of the Party and the State for Chinese medicine, which is the fundamental guarantee for the survival and development of Chinese medicine in China. At present, the Chinese nation is in the course of great rejuvenation, and as one of the essence of Chinese culture, the inheritance and development of TCM has been highly valued by the state, and the development of TCM has ushered in a new spring. The most urgent task now is to amend the parts of the current policy that do not conform to the law of TCM’s own development, and to formulate development policies in education, clinical management system, personnel training, Chinese medicine and preparation, scientific research, etc. according to TCM’s own characteristics, so that the development of TCM can get rid of the shadow that goes against the law of TCM’s development and embark on the path of healthy development and virtuous cycle.
