Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) culture is an important part of the fine traditional Chinese culture and a summary of the wisdom and practice of the Chinese people on life, health and disease. To break the waves, we need to first establish confidence in TCM culture. General Secretary Xi Jinping has repeatedly said, "We hope that TCM workers can enhance national confidence." This is the primary prerequisite and spiritual guarantee for carrying forward, developing and making good use of TCM, as well as a solid foundation for exploring the path of TCM innovation.
The innovation of TRADITIONAL Chinese medicine is a new proposition under the background of the new era. TCM innovation is not limited to clinical efficacy, but also includes theoretical innovation, technological innovation and management innovation.
On December 22, 2015, General Secretary Xi Jinping said in his congratulatory letter to the 60th anniversary of the Founding of THE China Academy of Chinese Medical Sciences, "The revitalization and development of TRADITIONAL Chinese medicine has ushered in a good opportunity of favorable timing, favorable geographical location and harmonious relations. I hope that the majority of TCM workers can strengthen their national confidence and strive for the heights of medicine. "Bravely scaling the heights of medicine" is a simple word, but it has profound meaning. General Secretary Xi Jinping has pointed out the direction for us TCM workers to continue to move forward and clarified the goals of TCM development from a high perspective of national confidence. Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) is an important part of mankind's journey to the heights of medicine.
TCM has its own characteristics and advantages in the treatment of diseases. With the active introduction of modern science and technology and molecular biology, it is believed that TCM will play a greater role in the prevention and treatment of diseases, especially difficult and miscellaneous diseases. In particular, TRADITIONAL Chinese medicine has a unique effect on the prevention of COVID-19, and plays an important role in the front battle against the epidemic. It can be seen that TCM plays a unique therapeutic advantage in overcoming human health problems and makes new contributions to the innovation of medical science around the world.
Life health is the fundamental motive force and ultimate goal of medical development. Traditional Chinese medicine does not regard the treatment of diseases as the highest level of medicine. Instead, it focuses on the whole life cycle, preventing diseases before they occur, and taking various measures to protect and ensure life and health. Guided by the concept of "preventing disease", it is very important to give full play to the advantages of TCM in treating sub-health and actively explore the construction of TCM characteristic prevention and health care service system. We will give full play to the unique advantages of TCM in preventing diseases, ensure that health services meet the growing health needs of the people, and improve the capacity of public health services. We will inherit the essence of TRADITIONAL Chinese medicine and deepen theoretical innovation in traditional Chinese medicine
Innovation is the soul of national rejuvenation and an inexhaustible driving force for China's development. The changes of disease spectrum, health concept and medical model have put forward new requirements for the innovation and development of TRADITIONAL Chinese medicine. Chronic non-communicable diseases have become the main content of medical and health services. How to give full play to the important role of TCM in the prevention and treatment of major diseases requires TCM to boldly break through the existing framework and make breakthroughs in theory, culture, clinical practice, prescriptions, thinking methods, management mode and teaching methods.
General Secretary Xi Jinping's important discussion of "inheriting essence, upholding Integrity and innovation" has answered the question of the direction and path of TCM development. The development of TRADITIONAL Chinese medicine needs to realize the inheritance and innovative development of traditional Chinese medicine through scientific and effective innovative management. Innovation management is the management of the innovation of traditional Chinese medicine of traditional Chinese medicine, namely the managers adhere to the people-oriented, the fundamental purpose of human health services, in accordance with the "independent innovation, key across, support development, leading the future" of the work of science and technology policy in the new period, according to the characteristics of knowledge and techniques of traditional Chinese medicine, follow the rules of the development of the cause of Chinese medicine, and plan, encourage, implement and control innovation activities of TRADITIONAL Chinese medicine, so as to better promote a series of systematic dynamic management activities of traditional Chinese medicine inheritance and innovation process.
