Chapter 182: I had to change
"In the early 80s of the 20th century, more and more people have realized that traditional Chinese medicine and Western medicine are two completely different medical theoretical systems. Although there was still a lack of philosophical science on the essential differences between Chinese and Western medicine at that time, the Westernization of Chinese medicine in the name of integrated Chinese and Western medicine has increasingly aroused great concern and doubts in the academic community. In 1982, the Ministry of Health made a clear decision to "revitalize traditional Chinese medicine" and "maintain and carry forward the characteristics of traditional Chinese medicine". In the same year, the Constitution of the People's Republic of China wrote into the provisions of "the development of modern medicine and traditional medicine in China", and in 1991, the state took "attaching equal importance to traditional Chinese and Western medicine" as one of the general policies of health work in the new era. However, the trend of Westernization of Chinese medicine is still the same. What is the cause of this? ”
"In the 100 years since the Xinhai Revolution, the practice of modern scientism in the administrative way on the issue of traditional Chinese medicine has been prominent four times. The first time was in 1912, when the Beiyang government's "Renzi Guichou School System" established the school system of Chinese education, the incident of "missing the list of traditional Chinese medicine". The second time was the "Abolition of Traditional Chinese Medicine" proposed by Yu Yunxiu at the meeting of the Central Health Commission held by the National Government in Nanjing in 1929. The third was in 1950, when the main officials of the Ministry of Health adopted Yu Yunxiu's "Draft Implementation Steps for the Transformation of Old Medicine", referring to the practice of using Western basic medicine to transform traditional Chinese medicine during the Meiji Restoration in Japan. The fourth is the "Westernization of Traditional Chinese Medicine", which has been implemented under the name of "integrated Chinese and Western medicine" since 1958, which has lasted for more than half a century. The practice of the four modern scientism in "Medical Medicine" is summarized as follows: the key point of the omission is the abolition, and the focus of the abolition is to dig out the heart. The purpose of transformation is westernization, and the essence of integration is transformation. Although the practices of the four modern scientism are different, their spearheads all point to the core of traditional Chinese medicine - the basic science system and the clinical jishu system. When the core of Chinese medicine dies out in the process of westernization and transformation, the vitality of Chinese medicine is completely ended.
If we look at the practices of the four modern scientism currents together, it is not difficult for people to understand that these practices are actually the repetition of the tragedy of "destroying the Han and rejuvenating the foreign" in the hometown of traditional Chinese medicine during the Meiji Restoration in Japan. Abolishing, digging out the heart, transforming and westernizing is the quartet of "exterminating the Han Dynasty" implemented by Chinese medicine. Compared to Japan's "extermination of Han". It's just that the tone is a little more relaxed, the paralysis is a little stronger, and the time is a little longer.
In addition to the modern scientific current. In Huaxia, there is also the problem of "type culture" that has become the point of no return for the westernization of traditional Chinese medicine.
The so-called "type" refers to the fact that the original intention or desire is indeed beautiful and good-willed, but it does not understand the internal laws of the development of culture and science itself. I don't understand the intrinsic characteristics of Chinese and Western medicine. The so-called "culture" refers to the practice of using political appeals and administrative arrangements to set the direction and arrangement of the development of traditional Chinese medicine. It violates the intrinsic scientific laws of the development of traditional Chinese medicine, and also creates undue obstacles or difficulties for the reflection and discussion, reform and adjustment of the academic community. This is the serious "Westernization" of traditional Chinese medicine in many fields of scientific research, teaching and medical treatment under the name of "integration of traditional Chinese and Western medicine" since 1958.
Among them, TCM education has the most problems. Professor Li Jinyong of Hubei University of Traditional Chinese Medicine wrote an article calling out: "Forty years of hard teaching work have cultivated their own gravediggers." Traditional Chinese medicine masters Deng Tietao and Jiao Shude wrote an article in Guangming Daily questioning: "Can the College of Traditional Chinese Medicine still cultivate qualified Chinese medicine talents"? In 2003, a study by the Chinese Academy of Chinese Medical Sciences showed that more than 95% of the country's TCM research projects have been carried out over the past few decades. It is a topic of Westernized Chinese medicine. According to a survey conducted by the State Administration of Traditional Chinese Medicine, which is also your Department of Medical Administration, the use rate of traditional Chinese medicine decoction pieces in major and medium-sized hospitals accounts for only 10% of all drugs used in hospitals. In recent years, the empirical tendency of TCM prescription and treatment has become more and more prominent. According to statistics, the average medication of all prescriptions in Zhang Zhongjing's "Treatise on Typhoid Fever and Miscellaneous Diseases" is less than five flavors. Its formula is rigorous and closely related to the pathogenesis, so the curative effect is outstanding. Today, the average number of drugs prescribed by a prescription in Chinese medicine is four times that of Zhang Zhongjing, and there are often twenty or thirty flavors, and there are not a few prescriptions for thirty or forty flavors. However, due to the large amount of medicinal taste, large dosage, lack of rigor in the formula, and unclear thinking, the efficacy is not good. In the above situation, how can anyone with a sense of cultural and scientific responsibility take it lightly! …,
In the past few years, some people who stubbornly adhere to the attitude of modern scientism have claimed that Chinese medicine is pseudoscience, and some have clamored to say goodbye to Chinese medicine. Can this situation of confusion between right and wrong and reversal of yin and yang be separated from the "cultural unjust, false and wrongly decided cases" created by ourselves?
With the continuous deepening of China's reform and opening up, the opportunity to correct this "cultural unjust, false and wrongly decided case" is coming to us. With the progress of society and the emancipation of the mind, the trend of cultural self-esteem and scientific self-esteem is becoming the main body of correcting this "cultural unjust, false and wrongly decided case". In recent years, more and more people have clearly realized that: first, the clinical diagnosis and treatment of traditional Chinese medicine is increasingly detached from the basic scientific theories of traditional Chinese medicine; The level of clinical treatment of TCM is regressing in the direction of early empirical therapy. Second, it is impossible for the basic scientific theories of Western medicine to achieve mutual docking with the clinical diagnosis and treatment of traditional Chinese medicine, and it is impossible to guide the clinical thinking of syndrome differentiation and treatment of traditional Chinese medicine. Third, the basic scientific theories of traditional Chinese medicine and Western medicine are different from each other and have different tracks. Half a century of Westernization of Chinese medicine was originally a strange circle of "Westernization of Chinese medicine that cannot be Westernized". These understandings are giving birth to the self-esteem of traditional Chinese medicine culture and science, and they are accumulating liliang to bid farewell to the westernization of traditional Chinese medicine. ”
Wang Ming was a little sad, it is impossible for Chinese medicine to be Westernized, this sentence came from the mouth of a person sitting here today.
Bidding farewell to the Westernization of traditional Chinese medicine, these words appeared in everyone's minds.
"Reviving the Chinese spirit, reviving Chinese culture, reviving traditional Chinese medicine, at this moment, we have no choice!"
Wang Ming felt that the pressure on his body was a little heavy, not only because there were still many things to do, but more importantly, the thinking of the current Huaxia clan had become unrecognizable, and it was not overnight to change, but it was time not to change.
After speaking, Wang Ming was thinking about the future, and he didn't know how to leave the conference room, because when he was lecturing, not only those people were thinking, but he was also asking himself.
On this day, the sky changed!
The people of the National Administration of Traditional Chinese Medicine, or those scholars and experts who came back from outside were infected by Wang Ming, and they all knew what should be done for this society, the revival of traditional Chinese medicine is not only for the people, but also for their families and themselves, but also for their positions!
At this time, those people who were pointed out by Wang Ming also regained their freedom, they looked at Wang Ming's departing gaze, their eyes had changed, and their hearts had also changed! (Your support is my biggest motivation.) )
