After the May 4th Movement, China intellectuals advocated total westernization. Under the guidance of social elites, people consciously agree with the following two points: ① China's traditional culture represents decay and decline, which must be completely denied; ② Western culture belongs to advanced modern culture and represents the progress of human civilization and the development trend of the world.
Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) culture is a treasure of traditional culture, which has been fatally impacted. Almost killed and ruined several times.
Second, Western medicine tries its best to seize the medical market in China.
1840 after the opium war, western medicine began to enter China. Prior to this, the people of China have been treating diseases and saving lives by traditional Chinese medicine for generations. No one doubts that Chinese medicine is not good.
In the past 100 years, western medicine became popular and developed rapidly in China. Today, the medical market in China is mainly based on Western medicine. The market share of Chinese medicine is very small, and the practitioners of Chinese medicine are not as big as those of western medicine.
Western medicine sees a doctor, there are various instruments to analyze and detect, and the values such as blood pressure and blood sugar are clearly marked. Whether there are stones, tuberculosis and tumors in the internal organs can be clearly seen by various instruments (although the misdiagnosis rate is above 30%).
Chinese medicine diagnoses diseases by listening, listening and asking questions. It is up to the doctor to decide what the problem is. Patients can't see digital and visual things.
So I think western medicine is scientific and reliable. Chinese medicine is mysterious and unreliable.
Western medicine can effectively treat symptoms. There are bacteria that kill bacteria and diseases that kill viruses. There are various antibiotics anyway. It hurts there. Take a painkiller and it won't hurt. When a cold sneezes with a runny nose, the symptoms disappear after taking chlorpheniramine. If you have a fever, take antipyretics and give an injection, and the fever will soon go down. Ordinary people don't understand medicine, and they don't care whether western medicine will cause short-term and long-term harm, but only care about the immediate curative effect. I thought my pain disappeared, my fever disappeared, and my illness was cured. Think that western medicine takes effect quickly. What are the side effects of drugs? The instructions have already been written there, and whoever meets someone is unlucky.
Western medicine is a chemical, which shows that it is written clearly.
Traditional Chinese medicine pays attention to four qi and five flavors, not to its chemical composition. It adapts to the yin and yang of the disease according to the nature, taste and yin and yang of the medicine after prescription.
Therefore, people in China think that western medicine is highly transparent, and the composition of Chinese herbal medicine is a mystery.
So China people summed up a sentence: Western medicine makes people die, while Chinese medicine makes people confused.
Third, the quality of Chinese herbal medicines has seriously declined.
1, unscrupulous businessmen make fake and shoddy Chinese herbal medicines for profit. Shoddy, fake and genuine.
The Schisandra chinensis you bought is probably a wild grape dyed with saccharin. The red ginseng you bought may be the residue left after extracting the essence. Some time ago, Tongrentang, a century-old shop famous for its honesty, sold expired honey, which seriously dealt a blow to Chinese people's confidence in Chinese medicine. In fact, this Tong Ren Tang is not another Tong Ren Tang. The ancestors and descendants of the real Tong Ren Tang should not take the blame.
2. Artificial cultivation, regardless of region, has greatly reduced the efficacy of Chinese herbal medicines.
There is a great demand for Chinese medicinal materials at home and abroad, and wild medicinal materials cannot meet the market demand. So it can only be planted artificially. Compared with wild medicinal materials, the curative effect of artificially planted medicinal materials is definitely worse.
Traditional Chinese medicine pays attention to authentic medicinal materials, and the origin and quality of medicinal materials have a great relationship. For example, Xiongqiong produced in Sichuan is the best, so Chuanxiong should be used as a medicinal material. Dioscorea opposita should be used for yam, and Wenshan Sanqi should be used for notoginseng.
In order to ensure the authenticity of Chinese medicinal materials, more than 70 GAP (Good Manufacturing Practices for Chinese Medicinal Materials) medicinal material planting bases have been established nationwide. Tongrentang is the largest Chinese medicine enterprise in the GAP base in China, and Tongrentang has only eight bases.
Artificial cultivation, regardless of region, is not an authentic medicinal material, and its natural curative effect is discounted.
3. Greenhouse cultivation affects the curative effect.
Chinese medicine picking sometimes meets the requirements of solar terms, such as Artemisia in February, Artemisia in March and firewood in June. Greenhouse cultivation technology makes the picking time of Chinese herbal medicines out of order, which leads to the decline of Chinese herbal medicine quality.
4. Some drug farmers use pesticides and fertilizers when planting medicinal materials artificially. It leads to the decline of the quality of medicinal materials and pesticide residues.
5. Jerry-building in the processing of Chinese herbal medicines leads to the reduction of efficacy and even toxicity of Chinese herbal medicines. The stunt of folk processing Chinese herbal medicines is being lost.
6. Every year, a large number of first-class Chinese herbal medicines are exported to China and other countries, and the rest are left to China people. The effect can be imagined.
Fifth, fake Chinese medicine practitioners and fake masters cheat under the guise of Chinese medicine to obtain huge profits. Let the patient's illness not be cured, but also lose huge medical expenses, damn it. China people put the hatred of pseudo-TCM on the real TCM, and let the real TCM take the blame.
6. Unscrupulous merchants ask unscrupulous stars to make false advertisements to promote health products. Blow health care products into a panacea for all diseases. Let Chinese medicine take the fall.
Seven, Chinese medicine does not make money, and it is unpopular in hospitals, so it is naturally westernized. In the eyes of China people, Chinese medicine is synonymous with quack.
Chinese medicine is a consultation, no machine, no blood drawing, only a registration fee. Traditional Chinese medicine for treating diseases is cheap and good, and its curative effect is exact. It is impossible to generate income for the hospital, and the income of Chinese medicine is also affected.
Doctors also have to support their families, with less bonuses and low income. Meetings are always criticized, and no one wants to switch to western medicine. If you don't want to change careers, you should see a doctor and treat the disease in the way of western medicine. Naturally, I don't want to spend time studying Chinese medicine tirelessly to improve my medical skills.
Therefore, Chinese medicine practitioners in Chinese medicine department are no longer pure Chinese medicine practitioners. Chinese medicine has become synonymous with quack in the eyes of Chinese people.
Eight, there is a serious shortage of Chinese medicine talents.
Chinese medicine is profound, all-encompassing and has a long history.
Traditional Chinese medicine is profound, which was originally an advantage, but now it has become a short board that hinders its development. In this era of quick success and instant benefit, people are impetuous. There are not many people who can calm down and persevere and study, research, improve and develop Chinese medicine all their lives. Only those who love Chinese medicine and are determined to help the world can do it.
Nothing in Chinese medicine can be easily mastered, such as yin and yang and five elements, five movements and six qi, harmony between man and nature, syndrome differentiation and treatment, listening and questioning, four qi and five flavors, monarch and minister's assistance, cold and heat deficiency and excess, yin and yang exterior and interior, TCM diagnostics, prescription, meridian science and so on. You need to study all your life.
Chinese medicine is alive, and the treatment varies from person to person, from time to time and from person to person. Different diseases can be treated together or treated differently. So you need to be smart. Learning Chinese medicine is not savvy, and no matter how hard you work, you can't become a great doctor.
Traditional Chinese medicine values medical ethics most, and great doctors are sincere. Medical skills should be refined and medical ethics should be noble. Known as the great doctor. It is difficult to do it just because of excellent medical skills.
Is it driving a duck to the shelves to make graduates of westernized Chinese medicine colleges spend only one-third of their time learning Chinese medicine professional knowledge and become qualified Chinese medicine practitioners? Not to mention mastering medical skills.
The team of Chinese medicine practitioners is seriously shrinking and there is a serious shortage of Chinese medicine talents, which is caused by the unreasonable medical management system for more than 30 years since 1985.
One of the major events is that the barefoot doctor respected by Chairman Mao was listed as an illegal medical practitioner. This is the root cause of the serious shrinkage of TCM team, the serious shortage of TCM talents and the extremely difficult situation of TCM.
