Today, Ji is an old master of Chinese medicine and martial arts.

Ji Lao has been obsessed with Chinese medicine and martial arts for half his life. Influenced by his grandfather Cheng Jishun, a late Qing empire, he studied medicine from an early age. Zeng studied under four famous Chinese medicine experts. Kyoto has been hanging pot for 50 years, and there are countless living people. Ji Lao, who likes to play katar, is also the fourth generation descendant of Mai Xingyiquan and the fifth disciple of Yang Luchan, the founder of Yang Tai Ji Chuan. He has made great achievements in China Wushu.

Medical books, swords, celadon, painting scrolls, and a room in the study are antique. Ji Lao's back is straight and full of energy. Knowing the intention of the interview, he answered them one by one with clear voice and eloquence, and his views on Chinese medicine education were outspoken.

Ji Lao sees university education: the teaching content is worrying

"Education is the biggest problem of Chinese medicine. Now the students trained in colleges and universities have poor basic skills." Clinically, Ji Lao often asks students who are practicing and studying how many kinds of pulse conditions there are and what are the seven wonders, and many people can't answer them. Few people can recite the original preface of Zhang Zhongjing's Treatise on Febrile Diseases completely, because the classic ancient books are constantly misspelled, which makes Ji Lao deeply worried.

At present, there are great problems in the way and content of university education, copying the western education model without the characteristics of Chinese medicine. There are more and more western medicine courses, but fewer and fewer classical studies; Grasp foreign languages tightly, but grasp ancient Chinese medicine loosely. Some people say that "to improve the comprehensive quality, we must master Chinese medicine, western medicine and foreign languages", but we must first base ourselves on Chinese medicine and learn our own things solidly. How much information about Chinese medicine is foreign? Learning ancient medical literature and reading ancient medical books is probably more important than mastering foreign languages!

Westernized Chinese medicine hospitals have intensified the westernization of Chinese medicine education.

The present situation of Chinese medicine education is closely related to the "market terminal"-Chinese medicine hospital, in addition to the reasons of universities themselves. If the hospital can provide the conditions of pure Chinese medicine and someone can "support", the school can certainly train talents according to this market. But the current situation is that many students trained by Chinese medicine colleges have to switch to western medicine; Young doctors who enter Chinese medicine hospitals will find it difficult to be promoted if they don't study western medicine.

This is a series of problems from TCM education to TCM clinic. There are more than 2,800 graded Chinese medicine hospitals in China, none of which are real Chinese medicine hospitals, and almost all of them are "integrated" hospitals of Chinese and western medicine. If the school trains students of pure Chinese medicine, it may not find a suitable unit in society. Chinese medicine hospital has been westernized, and its surname is no longer "Zhong".

The root cause is poor policy implementation.

The problem of TCM education is related to TCM hospitals, and the fundamental reason lies in the ineffectiveness of TCM policies. Ji Lao believes that the spirit and policies of the central government have not been well implemented for a long time, and the propaganda is not enough. Some leaders don't attach importance to TCM psychologically, and don't consider problems from the construction of TCM itself. Instead, western medicine is used to build and transform Chinese medicine. If young Chinese medicine practitioners don't learn western medicine, promotion will become a problem. Isn't this caused by the system?

Although Chinese and western medicine have their own advantages, since they are Chinese medicine, we should emphasize the advantages of Chinese medicine. Why should we move closer to western medicine? At the beginning of the establishment of Beijing Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine, the directors of all subjects were Chinese medicine, so we should have this confidence in the treatment of pure Chinese medicine. Ji Lao suggested that if Chinese medicine and western medicine can each have a set of examination and promotion systems, it will help to train Chinese medicine talents and create a relaxed environment for Chinese medicine's surname "Zhong".

"It is useless to know that some old Chinese medicine practitioners are used to it. They don't say a word during the meeting." But Ji Lao also said that he would still be excited when talking about some strange phenomena. Although he is old, he still cares about national affairs and the world. Every day when he sees a good article in the newspaper, he cuts it out and pastes it, focusing on drawing it in red. So far, such newspaper clippings have piled up in several drawers.

Teacher Ji: the best and fastest way to inherit.

Master-apprentice inheritance is a traditional way to train Chinese medicine talents in China. Ji Lao himself has formally kowtowed to four famous old Chinese medicine practitioners. He believes that guidance is the best teaching method. Five years of undergraduate education, only half of the time to really learn Chinese medicine, and five years of mentoring can learn a lot. During the visit with the teacher, through the teacher's explanation, clinical experience and theoretical knowledge can be linked, combined and integrated at any time. "How exciting!" Traditional Chinese medicine and traditional Chinese medicine are closely combined, and there is no distinction between traditional Chinese medicine, prescription medicine, traditional Chinese medicine and internal surgery. Everything revolves around the clinic, and you can learn the most practical knowledge in the shortest time.

Mentoring should also be done step by step. Ji Lao believes that it can be divided into three stages: negotiation, semi-letting go and letting go. Be persuasive, haste makes waste. At first, students just watch, which is a probation stage. In the past, it was also called "auxiliary clinic". Then I began to copy the prescription for the master. At this time, I have some clinical experience and can master the properties and usage of commonly used Chinese medicines. It should be noted that the prescription should be clearly written, and you must never be lazy to write "Banlangen" as "Banlangen". Finally, in a certain period of time, students can be allowed to diagnose diseases independently according to the situation.

Ji Lao advocates that teachers and apprentices should "consult" each other. The teacher asks the students, and the students ask the teacher. Only by discussing with each other can teaching learn from each other and improve each other. I've been a mentor for three years now. In fact, there are not many opportunities to really be together. We must seize the time to study, not become a mere formality.

They are afraid that they have no way out.

Someone really found Ji Lao and wanted to learn from the teacher, but Ji Lao dared not accept it. Many old Chinese doctors have this understanding: an apprentice who has worked hard for several years can't take the road of Chinese medicine and go to western medicine because he can't get the qualification to practice medicine. They laughed at themselves and trained the "grave diggers" of Chinese medicine.

Because the "Medical Practitioners Law" stipulates that you must have more than 4 years of medical college education to take the exam, and nearly half of the exam content is Western medicine. This makes it impossible for those folk Chinese medicine practitioners who have medical skills but are only apprentices and have no formal western medicine education to obtain medical qualifications. Ji Lao said that those folk apprentices are like flies lying on the glass, with a bright future, but they can't find a way out. The policy is stuck, let alone promotion. They don't even qualify for the exam.

Ji Lao suggested that the state can formulate special measures to identify the qualifications of these apprentices and give them a way out, otherwise the doors of folk apprentices may be blocked.

To Ji Lao's delight, his little granddaughter has been studying in the capital Beijing University of Chinese Medicine for seven years. With a successor, he naturally took every opportunity to give his granddaughter a "small stove" and guide her to practice writing and reading, and the first requirement was to recite the original preface of Treatise on Febrile Diseases and the Year of Jian 'an ... typhoid fever ranked seventh among ten diseases ... "On that day, my granddaughter finally recited these 600 words verbatim in front of my grandfather, and Ji Lao calmed down." Your generation is just ... B2 1
