None of us is a prophet, and no one can be sure what the future of Chinese medicine will be. But I believe that the prospect and career of Chinese medicine are made by people who study Chinese medicine and people who study Chinese medicine together. "When people gather firewood, the flame is high", which is very simple and old-fashioned, but the meaning is very clear. If Chinese medicine wants to have a prospect, it must have a clinical effect. Why are there still many people willing to find an old Chinese doctor? Why do scammers who pretend to be famous doctors in rivers and lakes often succeed? It proves that Chinese medicine still has great attraction among the masses. I think this attraction comes from the accumulation of thousands of years, which is a historical reason. If we who study Chinese medicine can start from ourselves, stand on our own feet and love ourselves, and maintain and improve the curative effect of Chinese medicine, I think the prospect of Chinese medicine is not a problem worthy of attention.
You are a major in Chinese medicine literature, and you must know a lot about the past. Have you found the clinical efficacy of modern Chinese medicine in your study? From my personal experience, many modern "Chinese medicine" are ineffective, and it can even be said that these people are the majority. The situation is really embarrassing. However, I have also seen some famous doctors, even some lesser-known Chinese medicine practitioners, have gratifying effects on the clinical diagnosis and treatment of some diseases. In my opinion, since my generation has entered the profession, it should be like Ye's "Anyone who is a seventeen-teacher and hears that someone is good at treating a certain disease is a gift to his disciples", like "I am interested in collecting famous works of past dynasties, eliminating its complexity, taking its essence and attaching its meaning", and finally I can make breakthrough progress in one aspect or some aspects, and the curative effect is really excellent. How can Chinese medicine have no prospects?
It's a long way to go in Xiu Yuan, and the direction is also confused. In fact, the spread of Chinese medicine to our generation is undoubtedly facing great challenges, otherwise there would be no such doubt from you. How to do it is something we have to consider and few people can understand, including the following. But as I said above, maintaining curative effect must be the gold standard, and medical models without curative effect must be eliminated. Ye He was a famous doctor at that time with superb medical skills. But if it can be compared with modern medicine (though impossible), perhaps many of them are not as good as modern medicine, but it may not be inferior to modern medicine everywhere. Therefore, how to do it is what we should think more about.
Of course, we face many difficulties, and the industry has also said a lot. However, in my opinion, the primary dilemma we are facing is that we have lost the mentality of calmly studying Chinese medicine. Or eager to succeed, or unable to rely on, or give up on yourself. Who will help you if you want to fall?
I have always thought that modern Chinese medicine has a great advantage over ancient Chinese medicine: the literature is extremely rich. In ancient times, some local famous doctors read nothing more than Ling, Su, typhoid fever, golden chamber, and even some simple books, but they can benefit one party. Nowadays, we can learn all the literature that can be seen at all times and all over the world. It's time for us to make great achievements. We don't want to put our roots in when there are sufficient nutrients. Isn't this self-destructive Great Wall?
In short, the following views are: long-term vision, settle down, Xi is to books, and thinking is to clinic. The prospect of Chinese medicine is not necessarily bad.
As for the argument that waste medicine is nourishing medicine, I won't go into details here. The swordsman has a broken arm. What's the use of a sword?
When I come across this topic by chance, it is confusing to say it casually. The score is still the second, please forgive me for the shortcomings.
