It is a traditional medicine summarized by our ancestors in their daily life. The earliest academic work is Huangdi Neijing handed down by Huangdi. Although the authenticity of the author of this book is controversial, many bone needles found in archaeological activities in recent years have once again proved that China started systematic and scientific medical treatment a long time ago. Since the Han Dynasty, famous medical experts have emerged constantly, leaving a lot of works, such as Treatise on Febrile Diseases by Zhang Zhongjing. In the Three Kingdoms, Hua Tuo's Qing nang Ji, Sun Simiao's Qian Jin Yao Fang in the Tang Dynasty, Li Shizhen's Compendium of Materia Medica in the Ming Dynasty, etc. These books are still one of the necessary books and basic courses for Chinese medicine study, but after modern times, there has been a phenomenon of abolishing Chinese medicine. Even China found Lian Dewu, the first Nobel Prize winner, and demanded the abolition of Chinese medicine. During these thousands of years, Chinese medicine has been circulated to treat the emperor. In fact, it is not difficult to understand:

First, the current situation caused China to change from an old empire to a semi-colonial and semi-feudal society because of the Opium War. At that time, many intellectuals who received western education felt that if China wanted to be rich and strong, it was necessary to make changes, throw away some original ideas, learn advanced western culture and carry out? Anti-tradition, anti-Confucianism and anti-classical Chinese? Traditional Chinese medicine belongs to the traditional content, so they think that if China wants to be rich and strong, Chinese medicine must be overthrown, and it must be not only overthrown, but also eradicated, so that China can become rich and strong if the tradition loses space. As a western-educated Lian Dewu, he is naturally one of them.

Second, my own experience is biased. In fact, it is not only Lian Dewu who supports the overthrow of TCM, but also Mr. Lu Xun. The reason why I have such an idea is analyzed from my own experience. Needless to say, in Mr. Lu Xun's medicine, Lian Dewu once presided over the plague prevention and control work in Northeast China. In this prevention and control work, some Chinese medicine practitioners lost their lives and patients' lives for fame and fortune, which naturally made Lian Dewu, as a doctor, feel all kinds of shame.

Lian Dewu thinks? Although there are some progressive ideas in ancient Chinese medicine literature, many factors have led to the decline of its efficacy and innovation. The decline of old medicine, just like medieval Europe, the excessive respect for ancient beliefs and traditions has become a stumbling block to further progress. ? At the first meeting of the Central Health Commission from 65438 to 0929, the powerful members passed "Abolishing old doctors and removing medical and health obstacles", and Lian Dewu was one of the main members.

Third, the shortcomings and magic in Chinese medicine, many prescriptions in Chinese medicine have been verified by countless people for thousands of years, and related symptoms are recorded, basically without exception. This is unforgettable for western medicine. After all, western medicine has only existed for more than 200 years, and many medicines still need to wait for the test of time. As the saying goes: when the forest is big, there are all kinds of birds. Chinese medicine is the same, there are still some dross in it. After all, it is a big forest with a history of thousands of years, and these dross should be cleaned up.

Of course, the magic of traditional Chinese medicine is beyond the understanding of western medicine. Let's talk about the meridians that are often talked about in Chinese medicine. Basically, it is known that one or two acupoints extend to the body, and when you have a headache, you will rub your temples. As you know, Baihui point on the top of the head is the key point, because these points and meridians are interlinked, but the meridians in the human body are still undetectable by modern medical instruments, which means they exist, but we just can't find them, let alone 65438.

4. Tu Youyou Nobel Prize in Medicine The Nobel Prize has always been an important international award, especially in the field of science and technology, which has always represented a country's scientific and technological research capability. As a big country in science and technology, China has never won a Nobel Prize in science and technology before. By 20 15, Tu Youyou won the Nobel Prize in Medicine that year for artemisinin found in traditional Chinese medicine, which seemed to bring great surprises to some people.

In fact, Chinese medicine and western medicine have their own strengths, but Chinese medicine pays attention to the root cause, and more is to solve the problem from the source. However, because many diseases are not caused in a short time, it takes a long time to repair human functions, but sometimes there is a lack of time. Western medicine won't ask too much about the source of the disease, because they don't think there will be too much connection between the two, so it will have an immediate effect soon. What's your attitude towards Chinese medicine?
