He devoted himself to the theoretical exploration and practical innovation of TCM, and called on TCM to stand on its own feet.
◆ After 26 years in the West Hospital, he returned to China to study Chinese medicine at the age of 56 and advocated "Chinese medicine research".
◆ He combines traditional Chinese and western medicine, and his diagnosis and treatment ideas are unique. He is good at treating intractable diseases. Lu Guangshen, a senior researcher at Chinese Academy of Traditional Chinese Medicine, is a famous TCM theorist and clinician. Anyone who has listened to his lectures will be moved by his passionate tone, sharp words, profound thinking and witty remarks in both Chinese and English. "Follow the way of life, help the spirit of life, use the tools of life, and take life as a career" is a high summary of his academic thought of traditional Chinese medicine, which is his harvest of seeking the way of traditional Chinese medicine for more than 60 years and his expectation for the development of traditional Chinese medicine. The teaching of three famous teachers, systematic study in famous western medicine schools, and the practice of adhering to the characteristics of traditional Chinese medicine in general hospitals have enabled him to integrate Chinese and Western medicine and enrich his knowledge and experience. He followed the original purpose of TCM, persistently explored the essence of TCM, and had unique views. He is a representative figure who made great contributions to the ancient meaning of the emperor, integrated new knowledge and stood on his own feet.
"I am an authentic Chinese medicine. When the country called on the Chinese medicine system to study western medicine, I passed the exam and entered the medical department of Beijing Medical College. I studied western medicine systematically for five years and worked in the Central People's Hospital (now Peking University People's Hospital) after graduation. I have been adhering to Chinese medicine in western medicine hospital for 26 years. At the age of 56, he was transferred to the China Academy of Traditional Chinese Medicine to form a research team on basic theories of traditional Chinese medicine. "
From the age of 18, he studied Chinese medicine in Shanghai, and studied under Lu, Zhang Cigong and Xu successively. The teacher's words and deeds not only made him learn knowledge, but also influenced his academic attitude and viewpoint, inspiring him to pursue the true meaning of traditional Chinese medicine and struggle endlessly.
Lu is famous for his ancient literature and traditional Chinese medicine. /kloc-in 0/8, Xu and Zhang Cigong founded Shanghai College of Traditional Chinese Medicine, with Zhang Taiyan, a master of Chinese studies, as the dean. The purpose of running a school is to learn traditional culture and master new knowledge. As a correspondence disciple, Lu Guangshen not only accepted modern scientific ideas, but also laid his eclectic style of study.
From 65438 to 0955, when Zhang Cigong was appointed as the consultant of traditional Chinese medicine of the Ministry of Health, Lu Guangshen followed him in copying prescriptions. In 1956, when discussing the preservation and abolition of the five elements, Mr. Zhang discussed with him and encouraged him to express his opinions. Zhang Cigong's teaching that "if you want to integrate, you must first ask me to stand on my own feet" has made him full of confidence, self-improvement and self-reliance in Chinese medicine. Lu Guangshen's article was published in Shanghai's new traditional chinese medicine, and the sharpness of academic views and the brilliance of debate gradually emerged.
Xu put forward the idea of "knowing what he wants, not what he wants", and achieved good results in clinic through the combination of traditional Chinese and western medicine. In 65438-0957, when I went to the Chinese medicine department of the Central People's Hospital, I was appointed as the director and set an example. Lu Guangshen, who dares to think and do, opened a Chinese medicine clinic in a first-class Western medicine hospital, established a Chinese medicine ward, and expanded the clinical field of Chinese medicine. 1in the autumn of 958, the course of Introduction to Traditional Chinese Medicine was opened in North Medical College, which attracted the students of the fourth, fifth and fourth grades of medical department to attend the class, and used the clinical cases of traditional Chinese medicine to compile teaching materials, which promoted the more extensive cooperation between Chinese and Western medicine in various clinical departments of the hospital, all thanks to Xu's preaching and support.
There is also an important figure who has a far-reaching influence on Lu Guangshen's academic thought, that is, Lv Wang, a medical scientist in the late Yuan and early Ming Dynasties. Lu Guangshen had an in-depth study of Lv Wang in his early years and appreciated Lv Wang's simple and realistic style, scientific skepticism and historical critical spirit. Lv Wang's academic views and argumentative essays have a profound influence on Lu Guangshen, which can be seen everywhere in his papers and speeches.
Influenced by the teachings of three famous teachers and the attitudes, viewpoints and style of writing of Dr. Lv Wang, he constantly strives to learn from others and inherit and innovate. He emancipated his mind, scientifically criticized and thought independently, and gradually formed a profound and unique opinion, detached opinion and persistent spirit of inquiry, which also made him unique among famous Chinese medicine practitioners and distinctive in personality. He learned from ancient times and modern times, traveled at home and abroad, and was resourceful and called "Ming"; He is eclectic, profound in thought, rich in knowledge and experience, and people call him "Da". He is famous, diligent, kind and respected. He is known as "talented" because of his lofty position, unique views and outstanding self-reliance ability.
Lu Guangshen is the first batch of "middle school westerners" in China. Received formal education in Chinese and Western medicine, and engaged in clinical, scientific research and teaching work in authoritative institutions of Chinese and Western medicine. His mind is superior, he is extremely knowledgeable about medical sources, learns from Chinese and foreign sources, constantly understands the essence of Chinese medicine, and forms a logical and strategic academic thought in the comparison of Chinese and western medical models, the mission and development direction of contemporary Chinese medicine. In today's Chinese medicine field, he is known as "a philosopher in Chinese medicine field" because he dares to ask sharp questions, is good at logical thinking and has unique opinions.
"The way of Chinese medicine is based on the principle of preserving health and treating diseases, discovering the lifestyle of syndrome differentiation and treatment and the development of human life, a tool for transforming and utilizing toxic substances into medicine, and a healthy ecological practical wisdom for seeking the effect of harmony between man and nature." There is such an eye-catching sentence on the title page of Lu Guangshen's book Medical Collection-The Way of Traditional Chinese Medicine, which embodies the essence of Lu Guangshen's academic thought.
He believes that the fundamental change of medical model lies in the change of diagnosis and treatment thought. Doctors should "proceed from reality and understand the difference between things and me when studying heaven and man;" Seek truth from facts, understand the changes of health diseases, and know the environmental benefits and drugs; Targeted, follow the way of life to find and develop people's vitality; Pay attention to practical results, use life tools, and seek the harmonious effect between man and nature. "This profound and incisive insight has high academic value and practical guiding significance, which has aroused widespread repercussions in the fields of contemporary philosophy, social sciences and medicine, and has important guiding significance and enlightenment for us to re-understand and develop Chinese medicine.
"Go to work before you get sick, take care of yourself first." He emphasized the relationship between "steady-state regulation and TCM health preservation" and pointed out that the human health model is a self-stable ecological harmony of "healthy qi hidden inside, evil can not be done", rather than the complete elimination of "evil". He sternly pointed out that people's attitudes towards bacteria and viruses are futile, and they do not distinguish between good and bad, but make more and more diseases.
Lu Guangshen's thought of TCM diagnosis and treatment is lofty, profound and incisive. He said: "People's self-care ability and self-healing ability are the goal and development object of traditional Chinese medicine, and are the foundation of the existence and development of traditional Chinese medicine." He always carried out this concept in the process of diagnosis and treatment. The reporter followed him out of the clinic. I was deeply impressed to see that he often praised the patient's tenacious vitality and encouraged the patient to fight against the disease: "Your illness has improved, not because of me, but because of your strong vitality, keep it up!" Clinically, he made a comprehensive analysis of patients' working and living environment from social and humanistic perspectives, and encouraged patients to give full play to their self-healing ability. This is a wonderful embodiment of his "the way of Chinese medicine lies in learning people" and "the way is not far from people, and patients are regarded as teachers".
Because Lu Guangshen emphasized that doctors should fully mobilize all factors in the human body to drive away diseases and restore health, he called for an objective and correct view of the role of drugs. He pointed out that doctors are "gathering poison to seek medical treatment", and they can't absolutely treat the efficacy of a certain drug. When using drugs to treat diseases, they should seek advantages and avoid disadvantages.
As early as 1973, he issued a sober and unique warning that "the harm of medicine lies in the doctor, not the medicine" Today, drug abuse, excessive dependence on drugs and other drug hazards occur frequently, which is admirable.
Since ancient times, there have been many talented people in the south of the Yangtze River, and Lu Guangshen's talent is famous in the field of traditional Chinese medicine. Published more than 0/00 papers/kloc-,all of which are eloquent, well-founded, incisive and original, full of love and ardent expectations for Chinese medicine, and full of passion for worrying about the country, the people and Chinese medicine. 200 1, People's Health Publishing House compiled 80 academic papers into a book "Lu Guangshen Medical Collections-the Way of Traditional Chinese Medicine". Studying these articles, as the presidents of the Chinese Ethnic Medicine Association said: "People in the field of Chinese medicine sometimes feel strange' foreign flavor' when reading Lu Guangshen's articles; Philosophers sometimes feel fresh and rustic when reading Lu Guangshen's articles, but it does clarify many problems that are difficult to explain for the Chinese medicine community. " Indeed, if you want to read this book, you must clean up the dust in your heart, so that you can enter just visiting, which explores the eternal mystery of traditional Chinese medicine, by combining Chinese and western concepts such as medicine, physics and philosophy with unique prose expression. He insisted on Chinese medicine for 26 years in the first-class western medicine hospital in China and made achievements, which stems from his firm belief in Chinese medicine; The remarkable effect of the combination of traditional Chinese and western medicine in treating a large number of difficult and critical diseases depends on his clever combination and application of the advantages of traditional Chinese and western medicine.
Being in a strong western medicine environment in a first-class western medicine hospital in China, a Chinese medicine practitioner can easily be westernized, but Lu Guangshen insists on Chinese medicine and stands out from the hospital. He is brilliant, studious and well-read. From 1957 to 1983, various diseases were diagnosed and treated with traditional Chinese and western medicine in Peking University People's Hospital. He not only achieved fruitful results in scientific research, clinical practice and teaching, but also constantly compared and summarized Chinese and western medical diagnosis and treatment ideas in medical practice, and gradually formed a profound interpretation of the original purpose of traditional Chinese medicine and a profound practical foundation.
In the diagnosis and treatment of Japanese encephalitis, acute abdomen, pneumonia in children, hepatitis, liver cirrhosis, diabetes, hypertension, nephritis, asthmatic bronchitis, benzene poisoning and other difficult and critical diseases, Mr. Lu Guangshen has been guided by famous experts such as Zhong Huilan and Wu Jieping, and has benefited a lot and accumulated rich experience in diagnosis and treatment. Under the guidance of the theory of traditional Chinese medicine, he developed an agreed prescription of appendix mixture and pneumonia mixture, which was directly used in western medicine surgery and pediatrics, and achieved remarkable curative effect than simple western medicine. Some western doctors began to know Chinese medicine, and turned to Chinese medicine for help when encountering problems, which improved the status of Chinese medicine in general hospitals. Communicate and cooperate with high-level western medicine colleagues to carry out scientific research on some difficult diseases such as acute abdomen and hematological diseases. Great efforts have also been made in the scientific research project of integrated traditional Chinese and western medicine, which was later obtained by Peking University People's Hospital with advanced level at home and abroad.
Lu Guangshen is good at clinical practice, but he is good at summing up experience in comprehensive and meticulous clinical observation, constantly reflecting on clinical practice, and constantly writing papers with high theoretical level and profound insights, so that some people mistakenly think that he is just a Chinese medicine theorist. 1959, he summed up the monograph on the treatment of Japanese encephalitis by traditional Chinese medicine, and proposed that Japanese encephalitis is not "the pathogen of warm disease attacks the lung first", but "the pathogen of summer heat goes straight into the pericardium". This paper discusses the syndrome of "evil entering pericardium" proposed by Ye, Cheng and others. And timely applied the thought of "cutting off the road" such as Zixuedan, Zhibaodan and Angong Niuhuang Pill, which means that they started the modern "cutting off therapy" and excavated the later famous "cutting off therapy", which has important value in many diseases, especially infectious diseases. At the time of writing this article, Lu Guangshen has just been in the hospital for two years.
From 65438 to 0976, Lu Guangshen observed in the long-term treatment of hypertension that improving the imbalance between supply and demand of blood flow in patients with hypertension is the key to treatment, and treatment based on syndrome differentiation is helpful to the body's self-stable adjustment ability, which is more meaningful than simple decompression treatment.
From 65438 to 0987, Lu Guangshen was sent to Tanzania as a member of the first group of experts on treating AIDS with traditional Chinese medicine. Facing the query from the other experts, he calmly responded: antiviral treatment may not be the only or best solution for these viral diseases. The treatment of Japanese encephalitis, hepatitis B, smallpox and measles in traditional Chinese medicine is not to eliminate viruses, but to improve immune function and barrier function. Chinese medicine has a lot of experience in treating viral diseases and autoimmune diseases, which can be used for reference. This thought of treating diseases reflects his academic attainments and his profound understanding and experience of things beyond ordinary people, which is also a magic weapon for his clinical treatment.
Lu Guangshen doesn't like to talk about the patient's treatment plan in detail. The reporter asked him many times. He just said that every patient is different, and some cases are difficult to repeat. The key is the way of thinking in diagnosis and treatment. The reporter speculated that either the countless cases he had seen in his 64-year medical career made him countless, or a patient was not enough to reflect his overall diagnosis and treatment thought, or he silently stuck in his heart to prove his point of view. Lu Guangshen goes out to the clinic every Monday, mainly for autoimmune diseases, rheumatism, rheumatoid diseases and other intractable diseases. Among the patients are old acquaintances nearby, foreigners who come by plane regularly, and overseas people who have crossed the ocean.
Xiao Li, a postdoctoral fellow in Lu Guangshen, told the reporter that the teacher always stood at a strategic height, discussed the diagnosis and treatment of diseases with the method of combining Chinese and Western medicine, compared the Chinese and Western medical models and diagnosis and treatment ideas, and broke through the routine of focusing only on one disease. However, Lu Guangshen often asks himself and others such questions: What is the "syndrome" of syndrome differentiation and treatment? What should be found in dialectical diagnosis? What kind of effect should be achieved by syndrome differentiation and treatment? At the age of 56, he returned to the base camp of Chinese medicine to build a theoretical research team of Chinese medicine. His exposition on "Chinese medicine research" and "studying Chinese medicine" became the standard today; He was a member of the 8th and 9th China People's Political Consultative Conference, and made suggestions for the development of Chinese medicine. He issued a cry that "medicine can't fall at the foot of science", which shocked the world and put forward a new academic proposition for us for the first time.
1983, Lu Guangshen was transferred to China Academy of Traditional Chinese Medicine (now China Academy of Traditional Chinese Medicine) at the age of 56, and established the Institute of Basic Theory of Traditional Chinese Medicine on the basis of the central laboratory.
The name of the Institute of Basic Theory of Traditional Chinese Medicine is the result of Lu Guangshen's planning and persistence in many seminars, from which the term "Basic Theory of Traditional Chinese Medicine" came into being.
"The difference between traditional Chinese medicine research and traditional Chinese medicine research lies in the different theories and methods used, which cannot replace each other and can only complement each other." He proposed that "TCM research" and "research on TCM" are two different concepts, and advocated independent "TCM research". This understanding has become a norm and famous saying in the inheritance and development of traditional Chinese medicine.
He organized the first national conference and international conference on TCM syndrome research in Beijing, discussed the basic problems in TCM syndrome research, and made an epistemological analysis of TCM syndrome from syndrome differentiation to root seeking.
"Opening an inch of by going up one flight of stairs" was put forward by Lu Guangshen, who used acupuncture terms for reference and advocated emancipating the mind and expanding scientific research ideas. On the basis of the original work, he led his colleagues to preside over two series of "Seventh Five-Year Plan" research projects of "Liver-Blood Wind (Depression) and Blood Stasis" and "Spleen-Body Fluid-Phlegm Dampness", and won the first, second and third prizes at the ministerial level.
As a master of traditional Chinese medicine and an advocate of TCM research, he presided over the Xiangshan Science Conference in 2003 and put forward the theoretical construction and research methods of TCM. In February 2005, he participated in the demonstration meeting of the "973 Plan" of the Ministry of Science and Technology, put forward the guiding ideology and research methods of theoretical basic research of traditional Chinese medicine, and wrote to the main leaders of the Ministry of Science and Technology and the Ministry of Health to express his knowledge and understanding of traditional Chinese medicine and reflect the problems existing in the development of traditional Chinese medicine.
He started a new round of TCM research with his unique identity of Chinese and Western medicine, research experience and open, bold, rigorous and persistent work spirit.
Lu Guangshen, a member of the Eighth and Ninth CPPCC National Committee, took every opportunity to make suggestions for the development of Chinese medicine. He is so famous that many universities and hospitals invite him to give lectures. He preached Chinese medicine on various occasions, and repeatedly talked about and appealed to Chinese medicine academics. A person who is over 80 years old still holds a sincere heart for Chinese medicine and dedicates his own light and heat.
Lu Guangshen is a kind old man in the eyes of his neighbors and a kind teacher in front of his students, but he is a rigorous, persistent and sharp-edged person academically. His cry that "medicine can't bow to science" shocked the world and put forward a new academic proposition for us. Some people don't understand, some people seem to understand, and some people are undecided. However, the reporter noticed that at the international conference on "Faith, Philosophy and Science" held in Peking University in July 2009, william phillips, winner of the 1997 Nobel Prize in Physics, seemed to have the same view, that is, "science is not the only window to observe the world". This is the vision of William Phillips, Lu Guangshen and other masters to know the world, and it is their voice to know the world with insight. I hope our generation can understand at an early date.
At present, there is a research team of basic theory of traditional Chinese medicine brought out by him in the Chinese Academy of Traditional Chinese Medicine, and there are also high-ranking disciples trained by him in Guangdong and other places thousands of miles away. His words and deeds set an example for future generations, and his thought of diagnosis and treatment is being recognized, studied and popularized.
"If you are diligent in learning, you will be an official. If you are excellent in learning, you will be an official. A pedant is called a great doctor." Lu Guangshen said: "I originally chose Chinese medicine, and I have devoted my life to Chinese medicine." Indeed, his daily schedule is tense and orderly, including reading, reading newspapers, writing, giving lectures, sitting in the clinic and teaching ... He constantly explores the "way of life" in the innovation of TCM theory and practice.
