Chinese Medicine - Our National Cultural Symbol

As the name suggests, Chinese medicine is Chinese medicine, or Chinese Han ethnic medicine. In the process of its occurrence and development, TCM has absorbed and integrated medical experiences and methods of other fraternal peoples and even foreign countries, but it has always been rooted in the soil of traditional Chinese culture. This is not controversial. A nation’s culture can manifest itself in extremely diverse forms, but it often has a basic and consistent core. The form of culture can vary with the changing years, but the inner core of the spirit is often long and constant. Chinese medicine has been on the Chinese soil for thousands of years. Drugs have increased from hundreds to thousands and even tens of thousands. Formulas have increased from hundreds to tens or hundreds of thousands. The 11 homes and economic homes have increased to tens of thousands of oceans. The renewal of theories, the enrichment of methods, the innovation of technology, and the improvement of curative effect are self-explanatory, but their inner spirit has always been stable and always runs through. From theory to clinical aspects. In this sense, Chinese medicine is unchanged in its journey to the millennium. What has changed is form and quantity, and the same is the spirit. Therefore, Chinese medicine can become a cultural symbol of our nation.

Changing the dynasty is something that has always happened in history, but the national spirit has always been upheld and stretched. Respecting the world, conforming to nature, emphasizing ethics and order, paying attention to personnel, paying attention to the whole, and advocating harmony are the Chinese people's consistent feelings. After thousands of years of Chinese medicine, its internal spirit has never been greatly facilitated. This is also the reason for this. Chinese medicine has long been deeply imprinted with the mark of the Chinese national spirit. "There is a time when there is a line," and it is not because of the actions of 尧 or 桀 变 变 变 , , 而 而 而 而 而 而 而 而 而 而 而 而 而 而 而 而 而 而 而 而 而 “ “ “ “ “ , ,. Such concept of life as the Pre-Qin guided the sustainable development and prosperity of Chinese medicine. Chinese medicine practitioners believe that the occurrence of diseases is related to the violation of natural laws and is related to mental disorders. Therefore, it emphasizes caution and carelessness and internal emotions; Chinese medicine believes that the underlying lesions will manifest themselves as external signs. "Inside," Chinese medicine believes that the key to treating diseases lies in removing the evil spirits of "everything is going to make them difficult, not to go beyond the three," and to support the righteousness of "chongqi and". Therefore, there is the rule of governing and exorcising evil spirits. All of these are concepts that medical scientists have put forward specifically and are also widely understood by the average person. In fact, the concept of Chinese medicine has always been the externalization of the Chinese cultural spirit and is a reflection of the spiritual memory of the Chinese nation. Chinese medicine's understanding of the nature of the world, its cognition of life and disease, and the therapeutic techniques and methods of health preservation invented in accordance with it, embody the unique natural concepts and human emotions of the Chinese, and it implies the thinking that the Chinese have always held. Mode and philosophy of life. From the "Huangdi Neijing" of the Qin and Han Dynasties to the school of morbid diseases of the Ming and Qing Dynasties, traditional Chinese medicine has been enriched and developed through successive generations of sages. It has formed a massive academic system, but its mental memory has been deeply etched since its inception. However, it is unchanged from ancient times and it is upheld from generation to generation. The blood of traditional Chinese medicine is always filled with the spirit of Chinese traditional culture that is unique and irreplaceable. This is one of the reasons why Chinese medicine can be a cultural symbol of our nation.

From the perspective of cultural patterns, traditional Chinese medicine and other forms of traditional Chinese culture are connected and integrated. Chinese traditional culture is long and splendid. From the dawn of civilization to the east, Chinese traditional philosophy, astronomy, geography, calendar, mathematics, chemistry, and poetry, poetry, painting, sculpture, music, and so on, together with traditional Chinese medicine, have built a splendid hall of Chinese traditional culture. From a philosophical point of view, at the beginning of its theoretical construction, TCM relied on the traditional concept of yin and yang, the concept of five elements, and the theory of vitality. This can be found in the Yellow Emperor's Internal Classic. From a technical point of view, the cultivation of Chinese medicine cannot but rely on traditional knowledge of agriculture and geography. Preparations of traditional Chinese medicine often need to rely on alchemy—the results of traditional chemistry. Chinese medicine’s luck doctrine naturally cannot be separated from the support of astronomy, calendars, and even mathematics. This can also find a lot of evidence from ancient books. From the perspective of academic expression, Chinese medicine has used many forms of Chinese traditional literature and art. There are essays in the style of ancient Chinese ancient books. There are also poetry and cifu. "Three Medical Cases Engraved" contains a medical case written by Xue Shengbai in the Qing Dynasty: "The bones are small and crunchy, and the posture is not pine and cypress; the number of pulses has been stopped and there is now waiting for consumptiveness. The congenital is both weak and water-losing. , Zhuanghuo recognition and Jinzao.The old year a loss, Gengrong Zaifeng?Autumn wind 乍 recommended injury, it is inevitable serious injuries.Certificate as before, drug only make up the North;Dare to dream, talk to ridicule." It is a typical resignation. When Tang Gaozong ordered his revision of the Chinese materia medica, he completed the “Newly Revised Materia Medica” with the pharmacopoeial nature in the history of mankind. This book was originally painted with a drug painting. The so-called “Dan Qinghuanhuan and the description of prepared materials” can be imagined. It is lifelike and beautiful. This is the connection between traditional Chinese medicine and traditional Chinese painting. The only king of the Song Dynasty who cast acupuncturists was naturally unable to leave the technique of sculpture. As for the singing of soup head Gefu, etc., it is associated with music. The linguistic expression of traditional Chinese medicine still features the features of ancient Chinese. It is quaint in writing, concise in writing, stressing rhythm and rhetoric, and possessing the unique beauty of Oriental culture. Therefore, from the perspective of cultural forms, Chinese medicine has absorbed and carried many of China’s traditional culture. Today, the "traditional loss" is more precious in terms of absorption and carrying. This is the second reason why Chinese medicine can be a cultural symbol of our nation.

Although Chinese medicine has basically the same spiritual core with other forms of traditional Chinese culture, although it has used other forms of culture in its development process, it has always been independent and powerful and systematic. From a medical point of view, TCM has unique value and is a medical science that cannot be replaced by any other cultural form. It is a completely different knowledge system from modern medicine. This unique value determines that not only has it ever appeared brilliant in history, it will surely shine in the future of humanity. The concept of life, disease, concept and methods of diagnosis and treatment of traditional Chinese medicine will certainly have an impact on the future medical model. Moreover, the important contents of traditional Chinese thought, such as the concept of yin and yang, the concept of the Five Elements, and the theory of vitality, have been fully utilized in the gardens of traditional Chinese medicine. These traditional ideas that have become unfamiliar to the eyes of modern people are due to the use of Chinese medicine. It is richer, comprehensive, profound and systematic. Chinese medicine emphasizes the relationship between man and nature, promotes conformity with nature, reconciles the seven emotions, emphasizes dedication, advocates righteousness and depravity, and cherishes all virtues. It profoundly affects and continues to influence the ways of life and even the value orientation of Chinese people, even today. It still has considerable penetration and persuasion. Third, the specialized knowledge of traditional Chinese medicine such as herbal medicine, herbal medicine, acupuncture, and pharmaceutical science has greatly enriched traditional Chinese culture and is a relatively independent and characteristic content of traditional Chinese culture. Therefore, Chinese medicine enriches the traditional Chinese culture and extends the spirit of traditional Chinese culture. This is the third reason why Chinese medicine can be a cultural symbol of our nation.

It can be argued that TCM is rooted in the soil of traditional Chinese culture and contains the spiritual core of Chinese traditional culture. It deeply embodies the spiritual imprint of the Chinese nation and connects with other forms of Chinese traditional culture. The spirit and actual content of Chinese traditional culture. Chinese medicine is an original, native, and unique Chinese medicine that cannot be copied or grafted by other nations or countries. It is a cultural symbol of the Chinese nation.
