  Regarding our traditional Chinese medicine as a kind of intangible cultural heritage, we should implement it, put it into practice, and truly protect it. Especially in the fight against the epidemic, everyone has seen that traditional Chinese medicine plays an important role. There are still many problems in the development of medicine. For example, we still have a lot of outstanding resources of Chinese medicine that have not been unearthed, and many of them have been mentioned. Our achievements in Chinese medicine have not been transformed, especially the health industry needs Chinese medicine. , The construction of a healthy China requires traditional Chinese medicine. At the same time, how to innovate in the system and mechanism? Everyone should do the work of Chinese medicine. (Reporter Ying Ni, editor Zhou Yuchen)
