First, the advanced nature of Chinese medicine culture
As the general name of traditional medicine in China, TCM has a history of more than 3,500 years. It is an oriental medical system developed on the basis of fully absorbing the traditional medical theories of Han, Tibetan, Mongolian, Miao, Yi, Dai, Hui and Xian nationalities in China and systematically summarizing the experience of disease prevention and treatment. It is also an outstanding representative of the world's traditional medical theory with the most systematic, rich connotation, the most extensive application and the most complete preservation.
After thousands of years of medical practice, it has been proved that Chinese medicine has not only made great contributions to the prosperity of the Chinese nation in history, but also made a scientific understanding of the whole process of human life phenomena such as fertility, health, aging, disease, death, etc. in today's highly developed modern medicine and life sciences. Especially in improving the quality of human life, prolonging human life, preventing and treating chronic diseases and senile diseases, treating cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, diabetes, cancer, nephrotic syndrome, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, new highly pathogenic infectious diseases with unclear etiology and poor curative effect in modern medicine and other intractable diseases and high mortality diseases. Such as SARS, bird flu, and even AIDS, which is called the Black Death in 2 1 century, all show the unique curative effect and remarkable advantages of traditional Chinese medicine. For sub-healthy people who suffer from civilized diseases of modern society and account for 70%-80% of the world urban population, traditional medicine and TCM health care have important strategic position and unique advantages in the prevention and treatment of non-communicable diseases, especially in the health care of 65.438+0.3 billion people in China.
Since the 1990s, more and more western developed countries have taken a strong and extensive interest in traditional Chinese medicine, the most representative of oriental medicine, and increased the investment of funds and personnel, hoping to understand the true meaning of modern life science from ancient Chinese medicine and seek the final solution to the increasing human diseases. Contrary to the study of material reductionism in modern western medical life sciences, Chinese medicine has more vivid vitality and feasibility in disease prevention and treatment, especially in adapting to the socio-medical model of physiological-psychological-social and environmental adaptation proposed by WHO. From disease biomedicine to life medicine, from life medicine to ecological health medicine, Chinese medicine has the most practical application value and scientific development value, which is a complete embodiment of the value system of human medical life science and an outstanding representative of advanced culture. In the future post-modern medical development era, Chinese medicine will not die out, and will continue to make important contributions to the health of 654.38+300 million people in China. Moreover, people of insight in Chinese and foreign medical fields, especially scientists engaged in marginal science research, have basically reached the understanding that the advanced outlook on life and scientific medical methodology represented by traditional Chinese medicine will lead the development direction of medical life science in the future and make great contributions to the development of human society.
Two, comprehensively inherit and carry forward the excellent culture of traditional Chinese medicine.
Traditional Chinese medicine and traditional Chinese medicine are two inseparable and important parts of excellent traditional medical culture. To inherit and carry forward Chinese medicine, we must first have a correct, objective, comprehensive and systematic understanding of Chinese medicine. For some time, from top to bottom, modern traditional chinese medicine research, modernization of Chinese medicine and industrialization of Chinese medicine science and technology have been overemphasized, while modern traditional chinese medicine research, the guiding position of Chinese medicine in Chinese medicine research and the development of Chinese medicine industrialization have been seriously neglected, resulting in the policy-oriented problems of "grasping the beard and glaring" and "being hard with one hand and being soft with the other". There is no parallel interaction between traditional Chinese medicine and its research and development. Due to the tendency of making Chinese medicine in the west and using Chinese medicine in the west, and the practice of practicing western medicine in the name of combining Chinese and western medicine, the so-called "problem Chinese medicine" social disputes such as aristolochic acid incident, Longdan Xiegan pill incident and Xiaochaihu decoction incident triggered a widespread credit crisis of Chinese medicine at home and abroad, which not only dealt a heavy blow to the economic development of Chinese medicine industry, but also laid the groundwork for foreign western medicine to enter the China market on a large scale after China joined w to. Therefore, under the slogan of promoting Chinese medicine, we must re-examine the past policy orientation and specific strategies, take meeting the actual health care needs of 654.38 billion people in China as the starting point of all our work, and stand at the historical height of making greater contributions to human medical life sciences. While promoting the modernization research and industrialization development of traditional Chinese medicine, we must also strengthen the research and development of traditional Chinese medicine and promote the development of traditional Chinese medicine industry.
Before developing internationalization of traditional Chinese medicine, the primary goal should be to maximize the localization of traditional Chinese medicine. This is not only because China is the birthplace of Chinese medicine culture, but also because Chinese medicine has the widest mass base and the greatest economic feasibility in China. Localization of TCM should be the top priority of TCM internationalization strategy, because it is the biggest economy and the biggest politics.
The modernization of traditional Chinese medicine should be carried out simultaneously with the research of traditional Chinese medicine, which promotes and conditions each other. The internationalization of Chinese medicine is not only the internationalization of technical standards, but also the internationalization of national culture. One-sided pursuit of technicalism and componentism will only accelerate the demise of traditional Chinese medicine, and our generation will become sinners of history. Only by realizing the two-way integration of traditional medicine and modern medicine, with culture as the auxiliary track, theory as the basis and service as the carrier, can the value of traditional Chinese medicine be truly reflected and the international cooperation and development strategy of traditional Chinese medicine be truly realized.
Under the guidance of the theory of traditional Chinese medicine, the modern research of traditional Chinese medicine should focus on the research and development of compound traditional Chinese medicine preparations, and establish two standard systems of quality control and clinical efficacy of modern compound traditional Chinese medicine preparations with Chinese medicine characteristics. In the modern research of traditional Chinese medicine, while fully retaining the connotation of traditional Chinese medicine basic theory, we should focus on the expression of modern Chinese medicine life science and establish a modern Chinese medicine life science theory and its standard language system with the characteristics of Chinese medicine, especially in the basic research of meridians and the development of applied technology, which is a major field with the most international development opportunities for Chinese medicine. We should create a modern Chinese medicine meridian culture with China's comparative advantage, and on this basis, vigorously develop the global meridian health care industry with great economic and social value.
In inheriting and promoting Chinese medicine, we should not only attach importance to the scientific and technological resources and technical strength of major national research institutes and universities in the past, but also strengthen the development of folk Chinese medicine technology and human resources, especially attach great importance to the research and development of folk prescriptions, treatment technologies, internal preparations and agreed prescriptions scattered throughout the country, and give strong support in technology, capital and policy.
The soul of TCM lies in its unique advanced culture, while the vitality of TCM lies in its rich clinical practice experience. Practice is the only criterion for testing truth, and curative effect is the last word. In particular, the medical practice research of clinical application of traditional Chinese medicine is more feasible in scientific research and development, and more practical in application and promotion. In the past, more attention was paid to the study of pharmacy, molecular biology and experimental animal pharmacology of new resources, new components, new mechanisms and new standards of traditional Chinese medicine, and less attention was paid to medical practice and clinical comparative research on the whole level of life. Moreover, at present, the highly respected evidence-based medicine research lacks the characteristics and cultural connotation of traditional Chinese medicine and cannot fully and systematically reflect the technical advantages of traditional Chinese medicine in disease prevention and control. In the future, it is necessary to further develop the research methodology of evidence-based medicine with the characteristics of traditional Chinese medicine to fully reflect the comparative advantages of traditional Chinese medicine. Before this, it is not appropriate to apply modern western evidence-based medicine research methods mechanically to Chinese medicine research, otherwise it will lose its scientific value and practical significance. Although the original intention of evidence-based medicine is conducive to the application and promotion of all the treatment methods and achievements of traditional medicine and natural medicine, including Chinese medicine, in the standardized scheme of clinical treatment of diseases, we should not affect our ultimate goal because of the mistakes in the specific scheme adopted and implemented.
To inherit and carry forward Chinese medicine, we should not only attach importance to the development of science and technology and industrialization, but also strive to speed up the cultivation of new talents who truly understand the true meaning of Chinese medicine, have a solid theoretical and practical foundation of Chinese medicine and have a broad grasp of modern life science knowledge. Therefore, we must start with strengthening the education of traditional Chinese medicine, not only continue to attach importance to and strengthen the higher education of traditional Chinese medicine, but also strive to develop the secondary education of traditional Chinese medicine, and even implant the healthy culture of traditional Chinese medicine into the quality education of the whole people from the beginning of primary school. Therefore, inheriting and carrying forward Chinese medicine is not only an urgent task for the Chinese medicine industry, but also a major event for the development of the whole nation, and it should be re-recognized and policy-oriented from the perspective of social and economic development.
