(Two Sessions figures) Chinese medicine is frequently controversial “Pediatric Master” Zhang Di interprets “indescribable pain”
China News Agency, Changsha, March 1 (Reporter Tang Xiaoqing) In recent years, with the accelerated implementation of various favorable policies, Chinese traditional Chinese medicine has entered the “fast lane”, and “going to sea with the wind” provides “Chinese medicine” for the global fight against the epidemic. Plan”, and overseas also set off “TCM fever”. However, while the development of this national treasure, which has been inherited by the Chinese nation for thousands of years, continues to be “hot”, it has also been controversial at home and abroad.
“This is an unspeakable pain for many practitioners of traditional Chinese medicine.” Zhang Di, deputy to the National People’s Congress and chief physician of the First Affiliated Hospital of Hunan University of Traditional Chinese Medicine, said that traditional Chinese medicine and western medicine belong to two different medicines, but they use the “shoes” of western medicine. To measure the “foot” of traditional Chinese medicine, traditional Chinese medicine has been questioned and controversial.
Zhang Di, who is good at treating children’s respiratory and digestive system diseases, insists on pure TCM syndrome differentiation and treatment. Every day, countless children come to Changsha for diagnosis and treatment from all over the country. His annual outpatient visits exceed 60,000, and the prescription list issued every year It accumulates to fill several sacks. He is the “Master of Pediatrics” in the “mother circle” and won the “Bethune Award of Hunan Province”.
“Professor Zhang, why are you so ‘hot’?” the reporter asked. “The so-called ‘fire’ is not my own ‘fire’, but Chinese medicine has unique advantages in treating difficult diseases and preventing the occurrence and development of diseases. Especially after experiencing major infectious diseases such as SARS and new crown pneumonia epidemics, everyone knows Chinese medicine. Deeper and more trusting.” In Zhang Di’s view, he just insisted on using pure Chinese medicine to make patients affordable and healthy.
He also noticed that in recent years, with the gradual improvement of efficacy and safety, Chinese medicine has become increasingly popular overseas. Data from the State Administration of Traditional Chinese Medicine in July last year showed that traditional Chinese medicine had spread to 196 countries and regions.
Although traditional Chinese medicine has often achieved miraculous effects in treating intractable diseases at home and abroad, and the effect of “going out” has gradually become apparent, there are still voices of doubt about it, and there is even a phenomenon of “flowers inside the wall and fragrance outside the wall”. “One is not enough understanding of traditional Chinese medicine, and the other is that TCM’s dialectical thinking, diagnosis and treatment methods and Western medicine are two different systems. It is not correct to evaluate traditional Chinese medicine according to the Western medicine system.” Zhang Di said that for a long time, traditional Chinese medicine has used Western medicine standards. Verification, the effectiveness of traditional Chinese medicine should be evaluated according to the method of western medicine. Western management of traditional Chinese medicine, based on ingredients, has driven back many “magic medicines”; Westernization of traditional Chinese medicine, based on scores, has stumped many folk traditional Chinese medicine practitioners who can treat diseases.
“But after a certain period of time to understand the thinking and thinking of TCM, the awareness and trust in TCM will be greatly improved.” Zhang Di told reporters that some international students who went to China for further studies showed strong interest in TCM. Some international students have also changed the direction of their lives by understanding the knowledge of traditional Chinese medicine, visiting the exhibition of traditional Chinese medicine equipment, and experiencing the traditional characteristic therapy of traditional Chinese medicine.
At present, the spread of the new crown pneumonia epidemic in many parts of the world continues unabated, and the international anti-epidemic situation is not optimistic. Traditional Chinese medicine, which plays an important role in China’s fight against the epidemic, has continuously increased overseas demand and attention, which brings opportunities for some traditional Chinese medicine products to go abroad and go global. However, due to factors such as the access system and cultural differences, the internationalization of traditional Chinese medicine is difficult to achieve overnight, and the “sea road” of traditional Chinese medicine is facing a bottleneck.
“I hope to promote Chinese medicine with unique advantages in disease prevention and treatment to the world and be recognized. How to cultivate, produce and process Chinese medicine abroad is one of the bottlenecks restricting the promotion of Chinese medicine abroad.” Zhang Di said that there are problems such as legislative restrictions and lack of talents in the development of Chinese medicine overseas. It is better for Chinese medicine culture to “go overseas”. It not only needs Chinese Chinese medicine talents to “go abroad”, but also relevant legislators who will affect the development of Chinese medicine in relevant countries internationally. , law enforcement, audience, Western medicine and other groups “please come in”, let them come to China to learn about traditional Chinese medicine.
In addition to the heavy medical work, this “Hunan Provincial Moral Model” has been engaged in teaching and teaching, and insists on making suggestions on the development of traditional Chinese medicine, the training of traditional Chinese medicine pediatricians, and the extension of the traditional Chinese medicine service system to the grassroots. “At the National People’s Congress and the National People’s Congress this year, I still speak for the Chinese medicine industry around these contents,” said Zhang Di.
