People's Daily: Better promote and develop traditional Chinese medicine culture

  TCM is a great creation of the Chinese nation and a treasure of ancient Chinese science. The Implementation Plan of the Action Plan on the Dissemination of TCM Culture (2021-2025) sets out the goal of "providing TCM culture and promoting mass activities in a more diverse way, and integrating TCM culture into people's production and life", and calls for "telling TCM stories well", pointing out the direction for promoting the protection, inheritance and dissemination of TCM culture.

  A little grass changes the world, a silver needle connects China and the West, and a wisp of medicinal fragrance passes through ancient and modern times. Traditional Chinese medicine contains thousands of years of health preservation concepts and practical experience of the Chinese nation. It has made great contributions to the reproduction and survival of the Chinese nation and has had a positive impact on the progress of world civilization. In the face of the COVID-19 pandemic, Chinese medicine has delivered an excellent performance. According to the white paper on China's COVID-19 Response, "TCM accounted for 92 percent in treating confirmed cases. The utilization rate of TCM and the total effective rate of confirmed cases in Hubei exceeded 90 percent." The combination of traditional Chinese and western medicine and the combination of Chinese and western medicine in epidemic prevention and control is a vivid practice of inheriting the essence of TRADITIONAL Chinese medicine and upholding integrity and innovation.

  The philosophy, mode of thinking and values of Traditional Chinese medicine are in line with the fine traditional Chinese culture. It is the crystallization of the wisdom of the Chinese nation and has long been integrated into the work and life of the Chinese people. Inheriting and developing traditional Chinese medicine culture is a practical need to carry forward China's fine traditional culture and promote the inheritance, innovation and development of Traditional Chinese medicine. From refining the spiritual signs of Traditional Chinese medicine culture, to strengthening the sorting of traditional Chinese medicine cultural resources and to strengthening the interpretation of the era of traditional Chinese medicine culture, the Plan has made clear deployment for in-depth exploration of the essence of traditional Chinese medicine culture. To tell TCM stories, spread TCM culture, and display its charm will help enhance its appeal and guide people to have a correct understanding of its value and contribution.

  To tell TCM stories well, we need to be good at using various forms of TCM to make TCM culture more widely integrated into people's work and life. For example, Shanghai has compiled a series of TCM popular science books for teenagers of all ages, set up a POPULAR science platform for TRADITIONAL Chinese medicine moOCs for primary and secondary school students, and actively promoted the introduction of TCM popular science knowledge into schools and classrooms. Chongqing launched the traditional Chinese medicine culture dissemination action, invited famous Chinese doctors to provide free medical services for the public; With the theme of "Chinese medicine by your side", Anhui focuses on the promotion and education of Chinese medicine science popularization, Chinese medicine culture and Chinese medicine health care technology and methods, so as to improve the health literacy level of residents and popularize Chinese medicine culture and health care knowledge, etc. Only through epoch-oriented, popular and innovative interpretation of TCM culture can TCM culture shine brightly and take root in the hearts of more people.

  Heritage is the foundation for TCM development, and innovation is the driving force for TCM development. To promote and develop traditional Chinese medicine culture, it is necessary to realize the creative transformation and innovative development of traditional Chinese medicine health preservation culture, so as to integrate it with modern health concepts and serve the people's health. TCM is not an abstract theory or concept, but derived from abundant clinical and life practice. Only by making innovations in practice and passing on traditional Chinese medicine through protection can we effectively explore and develop traditional Chinese medicine, promote the high-quality development of traditional Chinese medicine and its industry, and make new and greater contributions to building a healthy China and improving the health and well-being of the people.
