Comics make Chinese medicine more popular

"It is not how difficult Chinese medicine is to understand, but it is not transparent enough." This is the point that Luo Dalun mentioned most in our interview. Therefore, in his new book Comic Chinese Medicine, he unveiled the mystery of Chinese medicine in the most popular and relaxed way, that is, comics. Luo Dalun explained that the reason for adopting comics is "because it is the easiest for children to accept, and Chinese medicine needs them to pass on."

Comic Chinese medicine is divided into six volumes, and this magazine is only the first basic article. From the very beginning, Luo Dalun explained in detail what TCM is, the holistic view of TCM, the historical evolution of TCM, the classic works of TCM in past dynasties, and the main theories and schools. With the cute and rigorous cartoons of Art editor Yu Chunhua, everyone who opens this book wants to know more. For example, in the theory of etiology, the image of exogenous evil "six evils" (wind, cold, heat, humidity, dryness and fire) in the traditional Chinese medicine theory is vividly transformed into cartoon images such as a god with a wind bag in his hand, a beard in a cotton robe, a blind man with crutches and a fat man with big ears, which makes people laugh.

Chinese medicine can actually raise children.

The interview the day before yesterday was conducted in Luo Dalun Traditional Chinese Medicine School, which is still under construction, and the sunshine outside the window was just right. "The first lectures about to start school are mothers, teaching them how to raise their children with Chinese medicine."

Luo Dalun said that the post-80s parents' parenting style is almost Western. "For example, what is added at this stage and what is added at that stage?" In fact, many Chinese medicine practitioners can make better adjustments. "I hope a mother can return to Chinese medicine for parenting. Only in this way can children grow up and be more intimate with Chinese medicine and even Chinese studies. "

In his view, "cartoon Chinese medicine" is only the first step to popularize Chinese medicine in his own expectation. Luo Dalun stressed that whether writing a book or doing a program, he has been passing on the concept and methodology of health, not specific methods. "Isn't it best to control the condition to the lightest and easiest degree with the theory of Chinese medicine?" Luo Dalun said frankly that there are indeed many misunderstandings about Chinese medicine in the society at present. "I have always felt that opposing Chinese medicine is actually an emotional vent, which is caused by ignorance. So we need to make a more popular interpretation. "

Qiu Jinxi, chongqing morning post correspondent in Beijing.

Luo Dalun, the author of the book we are going to introduce today, has several identities: besides being the author of the comic book "Traditional Chinese Medicine"; Editor-in-chief of the Beijing Satellite TV health program "Yangshengtang", which continues to be popular on the screen; He also went to CCTV's "Lecture Room" as a national doctor; He is also a doctor of diagnostics in Beijing University of Chinese Medicine. However, chongqing morning post reporter found that he was also an ordinary person and missed the prescription for treating himself after completing an exclusive interview with him in Beijing the day before yesterday. What Luo Dalun is thinking about now is how to better popularize the concepts of Chinese medicine and Chinese studies among young people. "After all, no one has done it now, and Chinese medicine is really going to die."

After all, no one will do it again, and Chinese medicine is really dying.
