From Huangdi Neijing to Compendium of Materia Medica, from Treatise on Febrile Diseases to the cure of COVID-19, it has been circulated for thousands of years. Why do you want to completely deny it?
When Chinese medicine practitioners in our country don't even have enough to eat, when we are arguing endlessly on the Internet, a fever of Chinese medicine is quietly rising 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 certainly not made up.
What is the title published in the National Geographic magazine 20 18 12 14? Special report on future medicine: Chinese medicine, which has been neglected by western science for a long time, is giving birth to cutting-edge treatment schemes: taking the research and development team led by Zheng Yongqi, a tenured professor of pharmacology at Yale University as an example, it is pointed out that 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 can no longer meet the need to prevent and treat complex diseases with reductionism. How to take the essence and discard the dross from the wisdom of China's ancestors is the key point and cannot be copied. " "Let's not throw the baby away with the bath water."
Professor Zheng was one of the academic leaders who rewrote the development history of western small molecule drugs. At the peak of his career, he resolutely turned to the field of Chinese herbal medicine for nearly 20 years, which many people in western pharmacology could not understand. He emphasized that "I saw the limitations of western pharmacology at that time, and the future medicine must be a combination of eastern wisdom and western evidence-based science, which is a treasure to be developed."
Do you know that?/You know what? Do you know that?/You know what? While the Chinese are still suspecting that their traditional medicine is "pseudoscience" that deceives the world, the Japanese have applied for 2 10 ancient prescription patents in Treatise on Febrile Diseases and Synopsis of the Golden Chamber!
Japanese people buy Chinese herbal medicines from China, using our raw materials and prescriptions. Finally, put the Chinese name on the medicine and sell it to China tourists at the price of 10 times!
What about our people? Just after scolding Chinese medicine, I turned around and let people snap up a large number of Chinese medicine from Japan, and praised Japanese medicine for being better than domestic medicine! This is true!
Foreign attitudes towards Chinese medicine;
In the United States, Chinese medicine, especially acupuncture, is highly recognized in the United States. Of the 50 states, 44 have approved the issuance of acupuncture licenses, and acupuncture treatment has gradually been 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 expenses are reimbursed by the insurance company; At present, one-third of western medicine pharmacies in Germany are also selling Chinese medicine, and more than 500 western medicine hospitals across the country have Chinese medicine clinics;
In Britain, there are more than 3,000 Chinese medicine clinics, and the total assets of Chinese medicine industry in Britain are about1~10.50 billion pounds, which has become the largest industry in Britain except catering industry.
In Australia, 70% of doctors will recommend acupuncture physiotherapy to patients after treatment, and almost all medical insurance institutions will subsidize acupuncture conditioning treatment;
In Switzerland, from March 1999, the government included the expenses of Chinese medicine, Chinese medicine and acupuncture into the national medical insurance.
Proud? Pride, 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, drink the blood of Chinese medicine, and even want to step on my feet twice. Why?
Some people say that the ancient ancestors in China used Chinese medicine to treat diseases, but their average life expectancy was so low. Isn't this 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 pathetic. Is the low life span of ancient Chinese medicine a problem? There were thirteen branches of Chinese medicine in ancient times, which is not much compared with the perfection of the medical system now. The low life expectancy in ancient times is a problem of war, a problem of nutrition, and a problem of not eating so much.
There is a saying circulating 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 Province.
However, in front of foreigners, we can say that we are sitting on a well and watching the sky. How can a frog in the well understand the vastness of the sea, and how can a buffoon know the majesty of China?
We can also say that there are Chinese civilizations everywhere, which just proves the charm of our culture.
But 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. Let's think it over and reflect on it. Why is there such a saying circulating? Do they really do better than us in some ways?
Do we really have a clear conscience? With the development of the times and the progress of science and technology, we have gained a lot and become stronger and stronger. However, have we lost many precious things? "
"What do we have in China? We have farming civilization, we have a hundred schools of thought contending, we have mountains and rivers, we have Guangling Divine Comedy, we have calligraphy, Chinese painting and Tai Chi gossip. We have 12 zodiac signs, and we have The Book of Songs, Songs of the South and The Art of War by Sun Tzu. 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 five elements of yin and yang, we have paper-cut kites and clay figurine embroidery, and we have four great inventions: food and cookers, clothes and clothes.
You can't imagine how rich we are, but are we proud of it? What did we pass on?
I drank American cola, watched Japanese anime, sang Korean songs and drove a German car. How many Tang and Song poems have I memorized? Laozi and Zhuangzi thought, who is Laozi and Zhuangzi? Where is the thought? How many pages have you read in the four classic novels? How many moves do you take at chess? Steak and western food are both high-end foods. Isn't the variety of eight cuisines the essence of food?
Discard it as dross at home and regard it as a treasure abroad. It started in the past and destroyed in the present, which is the fault of our generation and the sorrow of our children and grandchildren.
Is it possible to catch up with the ancient sages in such an environment? Who is Zhang Zhongjing? Doctor, few people have reached this level in five thousand years.
