In this battle against COVID-19 epidemic, Chinese medicine has played an irreplaceable role, especially in Fangcang Hospital. As for the specific effect, in addition to improving the immunity mentioned by Academician Zhang Boli, Academician Zhong Nanshan also clearly pointed out that Chinese medicine Lianhua Qingwen also has obvious effect on inhibiting virus replication. In fact, these two points are enough to help prevent and control the epidemic. After all, COVID-19, as a self-limited disease, is closely related to its own immunity and virus replication in the course of treatment.

Theoretically, the role of Chinese medicine in COVID-19 is not reflected in aggressive treatment, but defensive. By regulating the human environment with drugs, COVID-19 could not survive in the body. When the virus has no living environment in the human body, COVID-19 can't continue to do harm to the human body, which is completely different from the mechanism of killing the virus directly by Western medicine and Western medicine. Therefore, it was a wise decision to adopt COVID-19 1 in Wuhan Fangcang Hospital at the initial stage of the epidemic. The simple understanding is through Chinese medicine.

As we all know, the development of Chinese medicine in recent years is not ideal, and it has even entered an embarrassing state of dispensability, although it has been achieved to a certain extent? Chinese medicine black? However, it can not be verified according to modern scientific mechanism, which is also the reason why traditional Chinese medicine is gradually ignored. Even though it played a positive role in the SARS period as early as 17 years ago, it did not play a positive role because of insufficient publicity and short epidemic period at that time. On the other hand, during the epidemic in COVID-19, we used mild and even some severe patients in Fangcang Hospital to confirm the curative effect.

For Chinese medicine with a long history of thousands of years, it can play an unexpected role in the COVID-19 epidemic, which shows that Chinese medicine is not out of date and can still protect human health in different historical periods. Both COVID-19 1 and No.2 prescriptions and all kinds of Chinese patent medicines including Lianhua Qingwen have been proved to be beneficial to the control of the epidemic situation, and even some Chinese patent medicines with definite curative effects have been included in the support of Italy and other countries, which is the culture of Chinese medicine.
