Preface:

Since the introduction of Western medicine to our country, there has been an eternal debate about whether "traditional Chinese medicine is good" or "Western medicine is good", and no one has a definite answer,But in 2006, a professor of Central South University declared that Chinese medicine was useless, and launched a signature meeting attended by tens of thousands of people, demanding the complete eradication of Chinese medicine, otherwise it would be hard for heaven to forgive.So you must think he's a big shot in the medical industry, right?

No, he's just a professor in the philosophy department, so why is he so disgusted with traditional Chinese medicine? Is there any hidden information behind this?

Traditional Chinese medicine has a long history

Traditional Chinese medicine has a history of about thousands of years. As early as ancient times, people discovered some herbs that can treat diseases and save people. Later, there was a character named Shen Nong, and later there was the legend of "Shen Nong tasting a hundred herbs".

In the Records of the Grand Historian, traditional Chinese medicine was first related to witchcraft culture.The ancestor Fuxi created the Eight Trigrams Formation, which speculated on the connection between the Five Elements and diseases, and thus created a system for treating diseases and saving people.

During the Shang and Zhou dynasties, this system was completely abandoned, and people's medical treatment was completely replaced by witchcraft. After hundreds of years of chaos, Bian Que, a famous doctor in China, was finally born. Bian Que, the ancestor of Traditional medicine, is good at diagnosing diseases by "seeing, hearing, and inquiring",According to historical records, during the Spring and Autumn period, Bian Que met with Duke Huan of Cai and did not need to conduct detailed examinations for him. Instead, he judged Duke Huan's illness by "observing, smelling, inquiring, and cutting",Thus, it was determined that Duke Huan of Cai was about to die, and within a few days, Duke Huan of Cai passed away. It can be seen that the flat magpie has profound skills.

After the famous doctor Bian Que, a famous book also came along. The first medical book in China, the Huangdi Neijing, formed a complete knowledge system of Chinese medicine.When the time came to the Eastern Han Dynasty, China's Traditional Chinese medicine had a deeper development, and more talents about traditional Chinese medicine also emerged.

From the name, we can see that Zhang Zhongjing's Shanghan Lun is for the treatment of typhoid, which is often referred to as internal and external medicine. In this book, Zhang Zhongjing creatively proposed the prevention and treatment of plague, an infectious disease.The Shennong Ben Cao Jing of the same period with him further summarized the medicinal properties of the drug, and clearly stipulated the prescription and dosage.Traditional Chinese medicine is being improved from various aspects.

At the end of the End of the Han dynasty, Hua Tuo developed Ma Boiling Powder for analgesia. The success of Ma Boiling Powder was hundreds of years ahead of the West. Hua Tuo pioneered the use of Ma Boiling Powder for surgery, which made him a world-famous doctor.

In the Western Jin Dynasty, he began to study the development of acupuncture and moxibustion in traditional Chinese medicine and initially formed the theory of acupuncture and moxibustion. Later, Sun Simiao, the king of medicine, put forward the core concept of traditional Chinese medicine, "great medicine and sincerity", which has influenced generations of Chinese medicine practitioners.In the Compendium of Materia Medica written by Li Shizhen in the Ming Dynasty, plants were systematically classified and a large number of medical prescriptions were recorded.

It is precisely because of this medical book that the professor of Sun Yat-sen University calls for the complete eradication of traditional Chinese medicine. Since ancient times, traditional Chinese medicine has not known how many lives have been saved. Why did he say such absurd things with only one book?

It is not advisable to generalize from one aspect to the next

Professor Zhang Gongyao of Sun Yat-sen University, who proposed to eliminate traditional Chinese medicine,In the 1980s, he graduated from Zhejiang University, and his major was the most unpopular professional philosophy at that time. But in that era when his degree was most valuable, he successfully entered Sun Yat-sen University as a professor.

As a professor, teaching and educating talents is his own job, but Zhang Gongyao does the opposite. Publicly proclaiming the futility of traditional Chinese medicine and calling on the state to abolish it,But Zhang Gongyao, as a senior intellectual, even made such absurd remarks. Is it because he hyped for fame?

2006followHowever, Zhang Gongyao did not think so, and still said publicly in his speech at Nanjing University that China should abolish TCM, calling TCM a genuine Pseudoscience.

This speech caused a great stir. Seeing this, Zhang Gongyao even intensified his efforts. He held a signing activity with ten thousand people and issued the slogan of "Completely eradicate traditional Chinese medicine". Many people who did not know about this matter rushed to see the excitement, which became more and more serious. Soon, netizens were divided into two factions regarding this matter.

One faction believes that traditional Chinese medicine is a treasure of the Chinese nation and should not be eliminated. Looking back at history, traditional Chinese medicine does not know how many lives have been saved,In the ancient times when medical treatment was underdeveloped, traditional Chinese medicine was used for many times to treat infectious diseases, such as smallpox plague. The role of modern traditional Chinese medicine in advanced medical treatment is equally important.

During the COVID-19, some experts mentioned that birth of astragalus and atractylodes macrocephala could alleviate COVID-19 symptoms. Academician Zhong Nanshan affirmed that Chinese medicine could alleviate COVID-19 symptoms, and a large number of facts proved that Chinese medicine is indeed effective.

The other school agrees with Professor Zhang Gongyao that TCM should be eliminated by western medicine, and the process of treating diseases by TCM is slow. Western medicine, on the other hand, has achieved rapid results in treating diseases.Since all our diseases can be treated with Western medicine, why not eliminate traditional Chinese medicine? This actually exaggerates the efficacy of Western medicine.

The controversy about traditional Chinese medicine and western medicine has been so controversial that netizens are more curious about Zhang Gongyao's idea that traditional Chinese medicine is useless. Why did Zhang Gongyao, a professor of philosophy, put forward the idea that TCM is useless?

30followWhen Zhang Gongyao questioned his predecessors, he made a systematic study of TCM and found that many theories of TCM could not be explained scientifically.

Among them, Zhang Gongyao's greatest suspicion was Li Shizhen's Compendium of Materia Medica, which recorded a large number of prescriptions that could not be explained by science. For example, there was a passage that said: pig zero, cold smell, non-toxic. Indicating the treatment of cold, heat, jaundice, and dampness. The main idea is that pig manure has a non-toxic odor and can treat cold, hot, and jaundice.

In addition, there are also numerous documented prescriptions for treating diseases with animal feces. Zhang Gongde felt incredible and thus became suspicious of traditional Chinese medicine.

In addition, he also claimed that not only was he a genuine Pseudoscience who felt that traditional Chinese medicine was useless, but even the great writer Lu Xun also sniffed at traditional Chinese medicine. Otherwise, why did he travel to Japan to study western medicine?

Mr. Lu Xun did indeed criticize traditional Chinese medicine because his father was seriously ill and his family did not send him to the hospital in time. Instead, he relied on a traditional Chinese medicine prescription prescribed by a quack doctor to survive,But traditional Chinese medicine ultimately failed to save Mr. Lu Xun's father, which is why he criticized traditional Chinese medicine heavily,

But after he traveled to Japan to study Western medicine, he also understood that Western medicine is not everything, and traditional Chinese medicine also has its advantages. Mr. Lu Xun also received treatment from traditional Chinese medicine in his later years,And it is believed that traditional Chinese medicine is effective in treating some diseases, such as cancer. Mr. Lu Xun only rejects some superstitions and misconceptions in traditional Chinese medicine.

But Zhang Gongde only saw the prescriptions in the Compendium of Materia Medica that could not be explained scientifically, and stubbornly believed that traditional Chinese medicine was useless and should be eliminated.

This is a desecration of traditional Chinese medicine culture that has been passed down for thousands of years. If traditional Chinese medicine cannot save lives, why can it be passed down from generation to generation? Why hasn't the country eliminated traditional Chinese medicine culture?

Current Situation of Traditional Chinese Medicine

According to Professor Zhang Gongyao, Chinese medicine is useless and should be eliminated. But the fact is exactly the opposite. Traditional Chinese medicine is a national treasure of our country, and we should vigorously promote it rather than eliminate it.With the development of modern medicine and market demand, traditional Chinese medicine faces the risk of being annihilated.

Just as Zhang Gongyao advocated the useless theory of traditional Chinese medicine above, it is because he saw prescriptions that cannot be explained scientifically in the Compendium of Materia Medica, and he unilaterally believed that traditional Chinese medicine was slow in treating diseases, not as effective as western medicine.

And most ordinary people also believe that this is generally due to a lack of understanding of traditional Chinese medicine. Although the treatment process of traditional Chinese medicine is slow. But it is milder than Western medicine and has much fewer adverse effects on the human body compared to Western medicine.

Secondly, the difficulties in cultivating traditional Chinese medicine doctors cannot be underestimated. In the annual college entrance examination registration, most college graduates choose popular and promising jobs,However, Traditional Chinese medicine, a relatively unpopular subject, is almost ignored. On the one hand, it is not optimistic about the employment prospects of traditional Chinese medicine.

On the other hand, the educational system of traditional Chinese medicine started in five years, which took a long time, and there are not many colleges and universities enrolled in Traditional Chinese medicine in China, most of which are 211 colleges and universities, with scores far exceeding one level. Therefore, students who want to apply for Traditional Chinese medicine have higher requirements.

According to statistics, the number of applicants for the Traditional Chinese Medicine Qualification Certificate last year exceeded 500000, but only 25% of them passed. Therefore, the screening of Traditional Chinese Medicine is very strict, which has led to a very small number of people working in Traditional Chinese Medicine.

For a long time, traditional Chinese medicine has not been well inherited in China, and the inheritance of traditional Chinese medicine skills is facing severe challenges.

In addition to domestic reasons, foreign countries are also eyeing China's traditional Chinese medicine technology. Traditional Chinese medicine technology is rarely known in China, but our neighboring countries Japan and South Korea are very popular.

As we all know, South Korea's favorite thing to do is to apply for the World Heritage. There are Chinese Dragon Boat Festival in memory of Qu Yuan, Chinese traditional sports tug of war, and Chinese painting.

Among them, the most infuriating one is acupuncture and moxibustion in the traditional Chinese medicine treatment. Although China is the birthplace of acupuncture and moxibustion, it is impossible to prevent South Korea from playing yin behind its back. When China is unprepared, it will apply for China's traditional skills.But due to the abundance of traditional skills that China can apply for World Heritage, South Korea has always taken advantage of them.

Do you think only South Korea is so crazy? Japan is even crazier than it, and Japan specializes in Chinese medicine prescriptions. As early as during the war, when Japan invaded our country on a large scale, Japan took a liking to our traditional Chinese medicine.Every time Japan occupies our city, traditional Chinese medicine is the book they inevitably search for. They transport the books they have snatched from the Chinese back to Japan.

In addition, under the malicious smear of Japan, the Chinese people were bewitched and rumored that Chinese medicine was a "Pseudoscience", which almost made Chinese medicine, which had been passed down for thousands of years, disappear on the land of China. It was some prestigious Chinese medicine scholars who argued to stop the farce.

Since entering modern times, there have been thousands of patents for traditional Chinese medicine prescriptions internationally, with Japan accounting for over 2000. There are many shocking numbers, but it should be noted that China only accounts for 5% of the registered traditional Chinese medicine prescriptions. Following this trend, traditional Chinese medicine will eventually become Japanese. China is facing unprecedented challenges in the protection of traditional Chinese medicine patents.

China is facing difficulties in inheriting traditional Chinese medicine, and the government has not stopped on the path of protecting traditional Chinese medicine skills,Recently, the State Council issued the "14th Five Year Plan for the Development of Traditional Chinese Medicine", which improved the protection of intellectual property rights in traditional Chinese medicine culture and formulated relevant laws and regulations.

New requirements have also been put forward for the cultivation of traditional Chinese medicine talents, striving to cultivate a group of new traditional Chinese medicine talents as soon as possible. In order to break the stereotypes of traditional Chinese medicine in the minds of ordinary people,The country has strengthened its promotion of traditional Chinese medicine culture. With the development of internet technology, more people will soon understand the valuable value of traditional Chinese medicine!

Conclusion:

Traditional Chinese medicine is the wisdom of the working people of our country for thousands of years. It does not know how many people have been saved or how many shattered families have been saved. Some people criticize China's traditional Chinese medicine culture solely based on one-sided understanding, which is extremely ignorant

The most hateful people are still those who follow the crowd. We are in an era of explosive online news, and we have to receive different messages every day. These messages are true and false, and we need to carefully distinguish between them. Don't be the one who is led by others by the nose,

The reason why we humans are the most advanced creatures is because we have ideas.
