"Life oriented Traditional Chinese Medicine" makes health promotion a daily routine
2024-03-11
Traditional Chinese medicine has a profound mass foundation and has deeply integrated into people's daily lives in the long-term development process. Recently, Zhang Qicheng, a member of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference and a professor at Beijing University of Traditional Chinese Medicine, stated that efforts should be made from four aspects: research and excavation, standard formulation, dissemination and promotion, and industrial development to accelerate the transformation of traditional Chinese medicine into daily life, serve the health and well-being of the people, and contribute to the construction of a healthy China. From the development history of traditional Chinese medicine, it can be seen that the theory of traditional Chinese medicine originated from practical production and life, and its development and growth are closely related to the lives of the people. The theory of traditional Chinese medicine is derived from people's long-term observation and summary of life phenomena and natural phenomena in daily life. Traditional Chinese medicine looks at the appearance of qi and color, smells the body and breath, asks patients about their feelings, changes in pulse conditions, and specific diagnosis and treatment methods such as acupuncture and moxibustion, massage, and taking Chinese herbal medicine, all of which come from life and are suitable for promotion and application in daily life. The development history of traditional Chinese medicine is also the development history of daily life, originating from and surpassing life. Currently, the integration of traditional Chinese medicine into daily life is also evident in many aspects. For example, traditional Chinese medicine terms such as "excessive heat" and "heavy dampness" have become daily expressions for the general public, and dietary taboos for treating diseases have become a common rule followed by the public. Even when buying groceries at the market, ordinary people will choose food based on the relevant theories of traditional Chinese medicine and the physical condition of their families. Especially during the arrival of the first lunar month each year, patients who apply the Sanfu patch line up in long queues, which has become a common sight in traditional Chinese medicine hospitals. Many folk therapies (such as picking up chancre, scraping, etc.) are very popular in some places. It is even more common to seek acupuncture and moxibustion, massage, and other treatments, as well as to pick herbs for decoction. It can be foreseen that the future of traditional Chinese medicine still cannot be separated from the fertile soil of life. The "prevention and treatment" departments in some traditional Chinese medicine hospitals are very popular, indicating that traditional Chinese medicine has a brighter future. During the response to the COVID-19, the great influence and unique role of traditional Chinese medicine will continue. The current strong trend of traditional Chinese medicine among young people is not only related to the strong promotion of traditional Chinese medicine in China, but also to the special curiosity and sensitivity of young people towards new things. It also means that traditional Chinese medicine may enter daily life and become a new trend. However, it should be noted that there are also some risks associated with the integration of traditional Chinese medicine into daily life, and it is necessary to draw a clear boundary between what is done and what is not done. In a rule of law society, doctors must have qualifications. Not only is it illegal to wander the world, but institutions and individuals must also have corresponding qualifications and obtain relevant certificates when providing traditional Chinese medicine diagnosis and treatment. Traditional Chinese medicine should be lifestyle oriented, but lifestyle oriented projects should not invade specialized fields, and the two should ensure a clear distinction. In the current situation where unlicensed medical practice and confusion between life services and medical services are common, such risks are worth being vigilant about. Only by firmly establishing the bottom line of acting in accordance with the law can the "life oriented" approach of traditional Chinese medicine achieve the goal of seeking benefits and avoiding harm. The integration of traditional Chinese medicine into daily life not only involves the overall development direction of traditional Chinese medicine, but also relates to the daily lives of the people; It requires both overall layout and macro promotion, as well as the understanding and support of the public. Traditional Chinese medicine follows the mass line, and individuals should pay special attention to promoting advanced concepts of traditional Chinese medicine such as "treating diseases before they occur" and emphasizing health preservation, and eliminate erroneous ideas such as superstitions and secret formulas or "divine medicines". In terms of action, in addition to receiving more diagnosis and treatment with traditional Chinese medicine, it is also necessary to deeply integrate traditional Chinese medicine into daily life.
