As long as Chinese medicine appears, there will be abuse and accusations. No matter on which platform, as long as you mention Chinese medicine well, there will be a bunch of people refuting you below.
From Huangdi Neijing to Compendium of Materia Medica, from Treatise on Febrile Diseases to COVID-19's cure, this has been inherited for thousands of years. Why should it be completely denied?
When Chinese medicine practitioners in our country don't even have enough to eat, and when we have a lot of arguments on the Internet, a Chinese medicine craze has quietly arisen abroad. Seeing their persistence and yearning for Chinese medicine will make everyone feel ashamed.
don't believe it? Let me give you a few small examples. These examples are easy to find, and they are definitely not made up.
On December 14th, 218, National Geographic magazine published the title? The special report of Future Medicine: Traditional Chinese Medicine which has been neglected by Western science for a long time and is giving birth to cutting-edge treatment scheme: Taking the research and development team led by Zheng Yongqi, a tenured professor in the Department of Pharmacology of Yale University, as an example, it is pointed out that traditional Chinese medicine will play an important role in future medicine. IND has been approved by FDA, and will soon enter the international multicenter phase II human clinical trial of liver cancer.
Professor Zheng Yongqi once said: "The development of modern medicine using reductionism can't satisfy the prevention and treatment of complex diseases. How to extract the essence and discard the dross from the wisdom of China's ancestors is the key point, and we can't follow suit. " "Let's not throw the baby away with the bath water."
Professor Zheng was once one of the academic leaders who rewrote the history of western small molecule drugs. At the peak of his career, he resolutely turned to the field of Chinese herbal medicine for nearly 2 years, which was incomprehensible to many people in western pharmacology. He emphasized that "I saw the limitations of western pharmacology at that time, and the future medicine must be the medicine combining the wisdom of the East and the evidence-based science of the West, which is a treasure to be developed."
do you know? While Chinese people are still suspecting that their traditional medicine is a "pseudoscience", the Japanese have applied for 21 ancient prescription patents in Treatise on Febrile Diseases and Synopsis of the Golden Chamber!
Japan buys Chinese herbal medicines from China, using our raw materials and prescriptions of Chinese medicine. Finally, the medicine was labeled with the Chinese name and sold to China tourists at 1 times the price!
and what about our people? Just after scolding Chinese medicine practitioners, I turned around and asked people to buy a large number of Chinese medicines from Japan, and also praised that Japanese medicines are better than domestic ones! This is a real thing!
Foreign attitudes towards TCM:
In the United States, TCM, especially acupuncture, is highly recognized in the United States. Of the 5 States, 44 have approved the issuance of acupuncture licenses, and at the same time, acupuncture treatment has been gradually incorporated into the American medical insurance system;
In Germany, Kortzting Chinese Medicine Hospital has to wait for half a year to make an appointment, and all the expenses are reimbursed by the insurance company. At present, one-third of western pharmacies in Germany are also selling Chinese medicine, and more than 5 western medicine hospitals across the country have Chinese medicine clinics;
In Britain, there are more than 3, Chinese medicine clinics, and the total assets of Chinese medicine in Britain are about 1-15 million pounds, which has become the largest industry in Britain except catering.
In Australia, 7% of doctors recommend acupuncture physiotherapy to patients after treatment, and almost all medical insurance institutions subsidize acupuncture conditioning treatment.
In Switzerland, the government has included the expenses of Chinese medicine, Chinese medicine and acupuncture into the national medical insurance since March 1999.
proud? Proud, our culture is spreading all over the world, and our civilization is benefiting mankind, but what about us? But I can't wait to eat the meat and drink the blood of Chinese medicine, and even want to put my foot on it twice. Why?
Some people say that ancient China ancestors used Chinese medicine to treat diseases, but the average life expectancy was so low. Isn't it enough to prove that Chinese medicine is useless?
if you really regard this theory as a sacred book, then I can only say that you are really stupid and pitiful, and the low life expectancy in ancient times is a problem of traditional Chinese medicine? In ancient times, there were thirteen branches of Chinese medicine, which was not too much compared with the perfection of the current medical system. The low life expectancy in ancient times was a problem of war, a problem of nutrition, and a problem of not having so much to eat.
there's a saying going around now? The culture of the Tang Dynasty is in the East, the culture of the Song Dynasty is in Vietnam, the culture of the Ming Dynasty is in Korea, the Qing Dynasty is in Myanmar, and the Republic of China is in Taiwan Province.
Yes, in front of foreigners, we can say that they are sitting in a well watching the sky. How can a frog in the well understand the vastness of the sea and a buffoon know the grandeur of China?
We can also say that there is Chinese civilization everywhere, which just proves the charm of our culture.
However, these are for others. Of course, we can't let others hit us in the face. Now, behind closed doors, you are all our own people. Let's seriously think about it and reflect on it. Why is there such a sentence circulating? Are they really doing better than us in some ways?
do we really have a clear conscience? The times are developing, science and technology are progressing, we have gained a lot, and we are getting stronger and stronger. However, are there many precious things that we have lost? "
" What do we have in China? We have farming civilization, we have hundred schools of thought, we have Mountains and Rivers, Guangling Divine Comedy, we have calligraphy, Chinese painting and Taiji Eight Diagrams. We have 12 zodiac signs, and we have The Book of Songs, Songs of the South and Sun Tzu's Art of War. We have traditional festivals. We have Kunqu Opera, Henan Opera, xiang opera, Beijing Opera, Shadow Play Huangmei Opera, Great Wall Garden and Bell Tower. We have traditional Chinese medicine, we have yin and yang and five elements, we have paper-cut kites and clay figurine embroidery, and we have four great inventions: food and cooking utensils, clothes and clothes.
you can't imagine how rich we really are, but are we proud of it? What have we passed on?
I drank American cola, watched Japanese anime, sang Korean songs and drove German cars-Tang poetry and Song poetry. How many did I recite? Laozi and Zhuangzi thought, who is Laozi and Zhuangzi? Where is the thought? Four Great Classical Novels, how many pages have you read? How many hands do you play chess and Go? Steak and western food are high-grade food. Isn't the tens of thousands of changes in the eight major cuisines the essence of food?
it is discarded as dross at home, and regarded as a treasure abroad. It started from the past and was destroyed in the present, which is the fault of our generation and the sorrow of future generations.
Is it possible to catch up with the ancient sages under such circumstances? Who is Zhang Zhongjing? Doctor, few people have reached this level in five thousand years.
