? The reunion of medical souls

The construction of Chinese medicine culture not only needs to pay attention to the retrieval of specific cultural parts such as hospital capacity and hospital system, but also needs to establish the goal of Chinese medicine culture education, so that Chinese medicine personnel can be edified in the spiritual world, cultivated in the way of thinking, and accumulate the academic literacy that Chinese medicine personnel should have, so that Chinese medicine culture and Chinese medicine technology can truly reach the height of blending and application.

The construction of TCM culture needs the participation and efforts of every practitioner of TCM. As long as we all consciously pursue the goal of "respecting morality and carrying things" and "stopping at perfection", we can find back the lost Chinese medicine culture.

Medical way is the form of action, and human nature is the foundation and soul.

Traditional Chinese medicine culture refers to the part of traditional Chinese medicine relative to medical skills. The combination of culture and medical skills is Chinese medicine, which is the spiritual core of "treating medicine as benevolence". The so-called "benevolence" here refers to the core values of "harmony, harmony, precision and sincerity" in traditional Chinese medicine; And "surgery" is the part of surgery that eliminates diseases, prolongs life and saves lives. The relationship between them can be summarized as "literature is basic medicine and architecture". The essential characteristics of the subject of traditional Chinese medicine put forward a clear requirement for the quality of its practitioners that "doctors should know astronomy, geography and personnel". This strict requirement for doctors' extensive knowledge is to maintain the "cultural" characteristics of traditional Chinese medicine, and also to focus on the fundamental and practical maintenance of life value.

Looking at Chinese medicine again, there have been a lot of medical works since Neijing. Exploring the success of doctors in past dynasties and studying their painstaking efforts in ancient and modern Hui Ze all make people feel the harmony between Chinese medicine culture and Chinese medicine skills, and all make people feel that the profound Chinese medicine radiates the light of culture. When we see that the requirement of "seeing people's distress, if any, is deeply sad, not avoiding it, sleepless, hungry and unwilling to do anything" has become the "medical way" adhered to by generations of Chinese medicine practitioners, we can't help but marvel that the sanctity of medical way is so closely related to Chinese medicine culture. This reflects that in addition to medical skills, Chinese medicine can surprise other disciplines, and it is the characteristic of "combination of medicine and literature" that permeates from the academic matrix. As for philosophy, it is the cornerstone of traditional Chinese medicine. The profound philosophy contained in traditional Chinese medicine has enriched the facts of ancient philosophy and has long been widely recognized by academic circles.

It is this kind of flesh-and-blood medical literature matrix that determines that Chinese medicine has the dual attributes of natural science and social science, and also determines its personality characteristics that are different from western science but particularly scientific, and also determines the unique professional style of Xinglin Orange Well. It can be seen that Chinese medicine, rooted in the traditional culture of China, has inherited the innocence of its mother. Since its birth, it has taken medicine as its shape and literature as its soul. The relationship between literature and medicine is not absorption and introduction, but growth. Its integration is not interdisciplinary, but starts from the matrix level.

The study of soul escaping is only the root of art, and wood will wither for a long time.

Such as soul-body, born from root wood, is the relationship between medicine and literature. If it fails, it will fail. If Chinese medicine is "declining", it may not be * * * knowledge; It will be denied by various statistics that the cause of Chinese medicine has declined. However, we may realize that Chinese medicine has not developed to the proper level of the times, and its internal development is obviously insufficient. There are some problems behind the development of TCM, such as direction deviation, contradiction between name and quality, ignorance and mediocrity, which are probably not undeniable. There are many reasons for similar problems, but the lack of Chinese medicine culture should be the first one. This deficiency has gone through a long process, during which it has evolved with traditional culture because of its particularly close connection with traditional culture, and at the same time it has been influenced by the simplification of "one needle and one grass", the pursuit of economic interests, the impetuous pursuit of the secular, and the alienation of itself after being attracted by the powerful "magnetic field" of western medicine. All these make the culture of Chinese medicine gradually fade in Chinese medicine. While the "technique" of TCM is developing relatively, it is particularly prominent, mainly in the following eight aspects:

First, it is reflected in the academic direction. The fundamental spirit of TCM scholarship is harmony, and the pursuit is "law is in yin and yang, and skill is in number". Understanding problems does not separate man from nature, analyzing diseases does not put aside social factors, and emphasizes the treatment of incurable diseases. However, the study of key topics and the diagnosis and treatment of individual cases often deviate from these basic principles of traditional Chinese medicine.

Second, it is reflected in the medical ethics standards. The professional requirement of a doctor is to "swear to save the suffering of the spirit", the doctor's feelings for the patient must be "seeing the other person's distress, if you have it yourself", and the rigor of the doctor's diagnosis and treatment must be "sincere, carefully check the symptoms and not have any mistakes". Doctors are not allowed to make jokes or make irresponsible remarks when treating patients, and they are not allowed to "behave themselves" when visiting patients' homes. It can be seen that Chinese medicine not only has strict norms on medical ethics, but also requires doctors to integrate them into their own spiritual world, thus ensuring the sanctity of medical ethics. Now, the requirements are much lower than the sanctity of medical ethics. For example, our medical ethics requires more empathy, caring for patients, not accepting red envelopes from patients, and not abusing power for personal gain, which actually lowers the professional standards of medical ethics to the moral requirements of ordinary interpersonal communication.

Third, it is reflected in the study of classics and medical works. Doctors must study classics, which is an ancient and modern knowledge, but now it is difficult to see how many people have read the "Four Books and Five Classics" thoroughly, let alone "study". There is also little research on the abridged version of that section of college textbooks. As for the writings of various schools, there should be one or two simple and practical practitioners to follow their example. Few people can remember such aphorisms and aphorisms as "doctors must learn from others and be diligent" and "there are not enough prescriptions to cure".

Fourth, it is reflected in the cultivation of ancient Chinese. "Four Books" and most TCM classics are ancient Chinese, so mastering ancient Chinese philology is the basic requirement for learning Chinese medicine well. Nowadays, many Chinese medicine practitioners are afraid to recognize traditional Chinese characters, let alone master ancient philology and have the literacy of exegetics.

Fifth, it is reflected in the level of multidisciplinary knowledge. Traditional Chinese medicine scholars need too much knowledge from other disciplines to pave the way. Not to mention sociology, psychology, thinking, geography and so on. Only the knowledge of literature, history and philosophy that it directly relies on and inherits, there are probably not many people who have done a little systematic research on Chinese medicine now. A real famous doctor of traditional Chinese medicine should not only know many subjects, but also be able to integrate them into the details. Therefore, talking about medical skills is often not limited to talking about skills, and medical theories are always balanced.

Sixth, it is reflected in the appearance of the hospital. The architectural style of traditional Chinese medicine hospital has long been rare in terraced waterside pavilions, pavilions and oriental architectural structures. In addition, the colorful architectural colors in China naturally do not have the pleasant atmosphere of orange wells and apricot trees. Compared with many famous schools, in order to show their cultural accumulation, they still strive to maintain the style of ancient buildings, and even important buildings such as xinhua gate, where the central government is located, still maintain their ancient appearance. Our living place, which can represent traditional disciplines, is really unconventional.

Seventh, it is reflected in the construction of hospital system. The management of traditional Chinese medicine hospitals mostly adopts the management mode of general hospitals, and the rules, regulations and objectives formulated are naturally losing the characteristics of traditional Chinese medicine.

Eighth, it is embodied in philosophical thinking and thinking methods. For example, few people can use the theory of five movements and six qi to prevent and treat diseases, few people can accurately grasp the main instructions of six qi in the 24 solar terms and apply them to specific syndrome differentiation and treatment, and even few people study in detail the ancient and modern differences between the disappearance of most of the four main diseases in pediatrics and the four serious diseases in tuberculosis and diaphragmatic diseases. Compared with prescription drugs, prescription drugs are extremely common; It is fashionable to prescribe medicine according to the laboratory list; The diagnosis of diseases in western medicine is considered as general thinking, while the treatment based on syndrome differentiation is put behind, not individualized; It is not uncommon to see a doctor without looking at people; The use of "insurance" in traditional Chinese medicine plus western medicine is very popular.

Carry forward traditional advantages and absorb the spirit of the times

From the development trend that Chinese medicine shoulders the heavy responsibility of serving China and benefiting the world, we are delighted to see that the times have affirmed the role of Chinese medicine. This recognition comes from the value evaluation of the profound accumulation of traditional Chinese medicine for 3,000 years, and from the affirmation of its qualification as a representative of Chinese excellent traditional culture. Of course, this confirmation is aimed at the whole Chinese medicine, not just at the "technology" of Chinese medicine. At this historical juncture, as a Chinese medicine practitioner, it is necessary to strengthen his responsibility and make a rigorous examination and profound thinking on the history and present situation, glory and defects of Chinese medicine. Therefore, under this background, it is not only of practical significance, but also of far-reaching historical and strategic significance to put forward the construction of Chinese medicine culture.

The construction of TCM culture needs the participation and efforts of every practitioner of TCM. As long as we all consciously pursue the goal of "respecting morality and carrying things" and "stopping at perfection", we can find back the lost Chinese medicine culture. For the academic and career of Chinese medicine, the construction of Chinese medicine culture needs to pay attention to the retrieval of specific parts such as hospital content, hospital regulations, hospital system, hospital training, medicine storage mortar, baking tools, diagnosis and treatment instruments and so on. In order to create a strong atmosphere of TCM culture, it is also necessary to set the goal of TCM culture education, so that TCM personnel can be edified in the spiritual world and cultivated in the way of thinking, thus accumulating TCM culture and TCM academic accomplishment.

However, just if is not enough, because the humanistic requirements for medicine in today's society have reached an unprecedented level. As far as the mission of the medical profession is concerned, in ancient times, it was "mercy first, swearing to save the suffering of the spirit", and in the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China, it was "saving the wounded and dying, practicing revolutionary humanitarianism", but these principles adhered to by doctors in ancient and modern times are far from enough now. Because from the standpoint, it does not put doctors and patients in the same position, but regards doctors as "saviors" who pity patients and implement humanitarianism; In terms of methods, there is no need for doctor-patient communication, which is the most important link of doctor-patient communication in modern clinic. From the use point of view, it is only to relieve pain and does not need other medical functions. Therefore, even if we follow those ancient and modern standards in an exemplary manner, we may not be able to meet the requirements of today's society. The overall functional orientation of the medical industry is still so backward, and there are too many other places that need to be found, filled, revised, enriched and innovated to adapt.

For the cultural construction of traditional Chinese medicine, the first thing is to find the lost treasure, fill the missing essence, gather the souls that have been in the state of escape, restore the body of the oriental cultural giant, and learn from the modern spiritual nourishment on this basis, so as to enrich themselves and shine brilliantly on the stage of the times. This should be our strong road and our goal.
