      The charm of traditional Chinese medicine

      What is the charm of traditional Chinese medicine? Traditional Chinese medicine is an important part of the development process of our Chinese nation; it is the accumulation of Chinese people’s experience in fighting diseases in their long-term production and life; traditional Chinese medicine is a culture, not just medicine; the syndrome differentiation thinking of traditional Chinese medicine can be used as a reference for many disciplines. As mankind enters the 21st century, ancient China has regained its vitality, its economy has developed rapidly, and various undertakings have advanced with each passing day. The rejuvenation of the Chinese nation is no longer an unattainable dream. However, national rejuvenation is not just economic revitalization, but also cultural rejuvenation. In a sense, cultural renaissance is more important and critical than economic rejuvenation, because cultural renaissance can provide a steady stream of potential power for economic development. Once a nation forms its own good dominant cultural model, even if its economy suffers setbacks or even declines due to some reasons during a period, as long as its cultural foundation remains, it has the possibility of rapid revival. The revival of traditional Chinese medicine culture is an important way to promote the revival of Chinese culture. As we all know, traditional Chinese medicine is an important part of traditional Chinese culture. It is the only traditional Chinese science that still plays an important role today and is one of the important carriers of traditional culture. Therefore, the ability of traditional Chinese medicine culture to regain its former glory will also be an important manifestation of the cultural rejuvenation of the Chinese nation.

      In the process of development, traditional Chinese medicine has continuously absorbed nutrients from the philosophy, literature, mathematics, history, geography, astronomy, military science and other disciplines at that time. At the same time, it has been integrated into the blood of the excellent traditional culture of the Chinese nation and has become an inseparable part of the traditional culture. Traditional Chinese medicine originated and grew in the soil of the traditional culture of the Chinese nation. Traditional Chinese medicine can naturally be popularized in this cultural atmosphere. Today, without the nourishment of literature, history, philosophy and other cultures, it is difficult for the theory of traditional Chinese medicine to develop healthily and sustainably. Therefore, in a sense, the study of traditional Chinese medicine culture not only plays an important role in reviving traditional culture, but also is an important driving force for the national economy (especially the medical market economy).

      In recent decades, traditional Chinese medicine has developed rapidly overseas, especially in the West. From a certain perspective, this shows the complementarity between traditional medicine and mainstream Western medicine, which is also the charm of traditional Chinese medicine. In fact, Chinese medicine and Western medicine have met overseas for hundreds of years; the wonderful thing is that throughout this history, we can always feel the soft, water-like power implicit in Chinese medicine.

      According to the latest survey, traditional Chinese medicine is developing rapidly in Germany. 54% of Germans have used herbal medicine to some extent, 95% of Germans have heard of herbal medicine, and 50% of people aged 20 to 30 have used herbal medicine as recommended by their doctors. Ten years ago, there were around 800 TCM clinics across the UK. Today, the number has reached at least 2,000. Harvard University in the United States and Cambridge University in the United Kingdom have established institutions specializing in traditional Chinese medicine research. From the above, it is easy to see that more and more doctors in the West are beginning to realize the efficacy of traditional Chinese medicine. In developed countries where western medicine occupies the mainstream, the miraculous traditional Chinese medicine will definitely bring about a new revolution in medicine.

      The impact of traditional Chinese medicine on human medicine cannot be ignored. Although it is not as fast as Western medicine in treating some diseases, its mild characteristics will reduce the side effects after treatment and reduce the pain of patients.
