One. Traditional Chinese medicine is a medicine collected, processed and prepared under the guidance of traditional Chinese medical theory, and its mechanism of action is expounded to guide clinical application. Traditional Chinese medicine mainly comes from natural medicines and their processed products, including plant medicines, animal medicines, mineral medicines and some chemical and biological products. Because most Chinese medicines are plant medicines, there is a saying that "all medicines are based on grass". Traditional Chinese medicine is mainly composed of plant medicines (roots, stems, leaves and fruits) and animal medicines (viscera, skins, bones, organs, etc.). ) and mineral medicine. Because plant medicine accounts for most of Chinese medicine, Chinese medicine is also called Chinese herbal medicine. Peace medicine. Three Kingdoms Wei's theory of health preservation: "Therefore, Shennong said that those who take medicine to nourish their lives and Chinese medicine to nourish their nature are really know life's principles, because they are supplemented." Jin Zhanghua's "Natural History" Volume 7: "Chinese medicine nourishes nature, which means that lovesickness is angry and day lilies forget their worries." Song Xuxuan's poem "Temple" said: "I am often suspicious of Chinese medicine, and I plan to seek truth and seek small returns.
Second, the "Twelfth Five-Year Plan" of medicine, traditional Chinese medicine and biomedicine in various provinces and cities shows that the growth rate of the pharmaceutical industry is expected to be between 20% and 25% in most provinces and cities, above 30% in some provinces and cities, and below 15% in a few provinces and cities. In the planning and prediction of several key provinces and cities of traditional Chinese medicine, the growth rate of traditional Chinese medicine industry is above 20%, with the average annual growth rate of Shandong Province above 30%, Sichuan and Jiangxi around 25% and 23% respectively. It is predicted that during the Twelfth Five-Year Plan period, the Chinese medicine industry will maintain an average annual growth rate of more than 12%, and the total output value will exceed 559 billion by 20 15. However, according to the specific plans of various provinces and cities, it is predicted that the overall growth rate of Chinese medicine industry is higher than that predicted in the Twelfth Five-Year Plan of Chinese Medicine Exhibition, and the annual growth rate may reach more than 20%, and the total output value of Chinese medicine industry will reach 20 15.
Three, China working people in the process of fighting diseases for thousands of years, through practice, continuous understanding, and gradually accumulated rich medical knowledge. Due to the lack of Archean characters, this knowledge can only be dictated by teachers. Later, there were words, which were gradually recorded, and medical books appeared. These books have played a role in summing up the experience of predecessors and facilitating their circulation and promotion. China's medicine has a history of thousands of years, which is a very rich summary of our people's long-term struggle against diseases and has made great contributions to the prosperity of the Chinese nation. Because herbs account for the majority of drugs, books recording drugs are called "materia medica". According to research, during the Qin and Han dynasties, there were many herbal medicines, but unfortunately they were all lost and could not be found. The earliest known herbal work is called Shennong Herbal Classic, and the author is unknown. According to the place names recorded in it, it may have been revised by doctors in the Eastern Han Dynasty.
