(Interview of the two sessions) Zhang Qicheng, member of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference: Chinese traditional medicine, foreign heat and internal cold
China News Agency, Beijing, May 22 (Ma Xiuxiu) "At present, Chinese medicine is facing external heat and internal cold, and promotion and popularization of traditional Chinese medicine requires a culture first." As a member of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, the first dean of the National School of Beijing University of Chinese Medicine Zhang Qicheng, chairman of the Chinese Medicine and Culture Professional Committee of the Association, focused on the promotion of Chinese medicine.
Talking about anti-epidemic disease, he introduced that in the fight against the new coronary pneumonia epidemic, Chinese medicine has played an important role, with a total effective rate of more than 90%.
Taking Jiangxia Fangdang Hospital in Wuhan City as an example, Zhang Qicheng pointed out that the Fangdang Hospital has achieved zero-turning-severity, zero-death, zero-infection and zero-fuyang; at the same time, with the help of singing, square dancing, etc. With the holistic thinking of Chinese medicine treatment, the healing time of patients is also shortened.
"In spite of this, the development of traditional Chinese medicine is facing a hot and cold situation." Zhang Qicheng said that traditional Chinese medicine's acupuncture has spread to 183 countries and regions, and its popularity is increasing overseas, but the popularity of traditional Chinese medicine abroad It is not high; compared with Western medicine, the effect of traditional Chinese medicine treatment is relatively slow, and it is generally accepted in China.
"Traditional Chinese medicine is our quintessence and needs to be inherited." Zhang Qicheng said that he should make everyone understand the overall thinking and effects of traditional Chinese medicine treatment through preaching. He likens healing to removing weeds. Traditional Chinese medicine is to improve the soil and support righteousness, so that weeds lose the opportunity to grow. Western medicine is like cutting grass. The mechanism of action of the two is different, but each has its own advantages.
In order to increase the popularity of Chinese medicine in China, Zhang Qicheng suggested that the classics of Chinese medicine be included in the textbooks of primary and middle schools, correcting the misleading content of Chinese medicine in the compulsory courses, and allowing children to study in the venue where the medicinal materials are planted, and in the museum Practice, etc., to enhance awareness of Chinese medicine.
"'Tai Hospital' is an important carrier and beautiful business card of the national Chinese medicine culture, and carries extremely rich cultural information of Chinese medicine." Zhang Qicheng also suggested that the "Tai Hospital" should be repaired to build the "National Museum of Chinese Medicine" to enhance Cultural confidence. (Finish)
