? Popularization of Chinese medicine must be "science first

In the "pyramid" of scientific labor, popularization of science is the foundation, science can only be improved on the basis of popularization, without it, even the best scientific conception and research will be put on the shelf, become the source of water and wood, and will not be able to achieve anything. It can be said that the popularization of all disciplines are so, Chinese medicine popularization can be no exception.

In order to take the road of popularization of Chinese medicine, that is, the road of dissemination of knowledge of Chinese medicine, the first thing that should be done is to follow the principle of scientific first. Chinese medicine is not only the treasure of the Chinese nation's excellent traditional culture, but also an important part of the Oriental science, which has a scientific nature, so that it stands tall in the world of medicine, and will continue to thrive. That is to say, no matter how beautifully your articles are written and how eloquently your lectures are delivered, you cannot deviate from the track of science. If you lose the scientific nature, popularization of science loses its soul and has no meaning and value, and some of them are even pseudo-scientific and anti-scientific. China's recent health chaos, fundamentally speaking, is the so-called "masters", "god doctor" in the scientific nature of the problem. We also say that health should be fun, but this fun must be based on science, otherwise it is claptrap, people must not be deceived.

In addition to the name "science", science and technology should also reflect a "universal" word, that is, to pay attention to the popularity and popularization. Chinese medicine science articles and lectures, different from Chinese medicine academic papers and lectures, because it is the object of the ordinary people, to their understanding and listening to understand the principle, so that they may learn in life, with, otherwise it is a cow to a cow.

The road to good Chinese medicine popularization is not an easy task, it has a high demand for popularizers: first, to have a rigorous scientific attitude. Treating traditional culture, we have always advocated an attitude of abandonment, not inheritance. Subject to the limitations of the times, it is inevitable that the good and the bad coexist in the traditional health prescriptions, and the scientific method is to remove the false and preserve the true, remove the crude and extract the essence, eliminate the dross and absorb the essence. Therefore, any information on Chinese medicine should be carefully screened in the spirit of science, and should not be taken at random, or be taken for granted, or be specious, or be ambiguous, or be misleading. This is not only the need to popularize the knowledge of Chinese medicine, but also a head-on attack on those who are wearing the cloak of science, under the banner of promoting traditional culture, do the work of the "modern witch" need.

Second, a solid foundation in Chinese medicine. This is to ensure that the first scientific premise of Chinese medicine popularization, of course, this includes two aspects, one is to have a high sense of responsibility and sense of mission, to do a line of work, love the cause of Chinese medicine; the second is both in theory and practice to study hard, and make great efforts to constantly improve their own theoretical level and clinical skills.

Third, there must be a certain foundation of scientific research in Chinese medicine. As mentioned above, if only the enthusiasm of science, but never engaged in scientific research, is bound to be unclear about the process of scientific labor, and do not understand the relationship, especially in the popularization of science and technology in Chinese medicine, often will be targeted, weakening the popularization of the strength of the scientific and technological achievements will not be converted into productivity.

Fourth, to have a better ability to "vernacular" Chinese medicine. As we all know, the language used in TCM is from ancient times, and most of it is so profound and obscure that it is difficult for people to understand. The purpose of popularizing Chinese medicine is to transform the high voltage electricity erected on historical electricity poles, through transformers, into 220-volt voltage electricity for modern life. Therefore, the reasoning must be in-depth, the use of language must be easy to understand, if the masses do not understand, confused, it will be twice the effort, can not achieve the desired results.

Fifth, the spirit of innovation. The development of the cause of discovery, invention, creation, innovation is the soul of the progress of Chinese medicine, Chinese medicine is the inexhaustible power of prosperity. Academic research is so, academic popularization is also. In recent years, such as edited by Professor Ma Youdu, last year won the second prize for scientific and technological progress in Chongqing Municipality, "Wonderful Chinese medicine - family health care adviser" book, in the writing techniques used in the form of letters and conversations with the masses of the heart to communicate with the public, greatly narrowing the distance between the public and read up to a sense of cordiality. This new form of expression of medical science, welcomed by the masses, achieved satisfactory results in the community has produced a certain reaction.
