Shandong Province on folk Chinese medicine and positive measures?

Chinese medicine is China's unique medical science and excellent traditional culture, is the great creation of the Chinese nation and valuable wealth, thousands of years for the Chinese nation to flourish and make an important contribution. In the long history of survival, China's working people in their daily lives continue to accumulate and summarize the experience of survival, to explore a set of experiences and prescriptions, in the clinic because of the same disease or the same type of disease has "medicine to the disease" efficacy and passed from generation to generation, these rich therapeutic means, prescriptions and literature, in the masses laid a broad foundation of Chinese medicine! The image of "selling medicines by stringing bells" and the folk proverb of "curing serious illnesses with partial remedies" strongly illustrate this unique feature of Chinese medicine. "Folk remedies have not only solved a large number of public health problems in a simple, convenient, tested and inexpensive way, but also played an important role in promoting the development of Chinese medicine throughout its history. In recent years, with the economic and social development, a large number of "folk remedies" are scattered all over the world, and many of them have been rejected or abandoned, resulting in the gradual loss of many folk Chinese medicine "treasures". In order to let the folk scattered in the folk "folk prescription" better play a role, it is recommended to carry out the province-wide folk Chinese medicine prescription, prescription excavation and finishing work.

First, the existence of folk prescription status and the dilemma faced

Folk prescription, prescription, refers to the flavor of the medicine is not much, on certain diseases with unique therapeutic effect of the prescription. In China's traditional medical treasure trove, unique folk remedies, with its easy to obtain, easy to use, inexpensive, effective, easy to learn and easy to use and promote the characteristics of the thousands of years widely circulated in the folk. The contents of these recipes include those that have been used for a long time in the prevention and treatment of diseases, and have accumulated experience in clinical practice, but have not formed a systematic theory of traditional medicine and have not been recorded in the canonical books, and have unique therapeutic effects and diagnostic and therapeutic techniques, such as single formula, prescription, secret prescription, acupuncture and moxibustion, cupping, acupressure, traction, smoky cleansing, enemas, gua sha, acupuncture, bloodletting, moxibustion and bee therapy techniques, etc., which are classified into categories such as folklore circulation, ancestry, experience in the field of clinical evidence and dosage form, and improvement. Improvement and other categories.

China's folk medicine resources, called a vast and profound medical treasure trove, such as the essence of these heritage to discover, will provide more favorable protection for the people's health. Jinan City in 1985, the relevant departments had organized a large-scale excavation of the secret recipe activities and collected thousands of secret recipes, after five years of sorting out the classification sent to the application of various hospitals, but the efficacy and impact of very little, while the donor is still the original prescription in the medical treatment of people, but the effect is extremely obvious. Explore its reasons, not a lack of offerers do not want to offer the formula, in the party on the tampering, there are also a large number of people to cheat money and fake do the secret formula in the fish eyes. For a long time so that the world to lose confidence in the secret formula do not dare to trust, the real secret formula is also covered up, do not dare to show up easily. This situation exists to varying degrees throughout the country.

But in recent years, due to various reasons, as China's traditional Chinese medicine culture of folk prescription inheritance status is worrisome:

On the one hand, the excellent prescription has not been fully excavated, and some are even facing extinction. The creation of the prescription originated from thousands of years in China's agricultural society, people live in harmony with nature, and the disease to fight the accumulation of results, from generation to generation, oral transmission, scattered in the folk. And now, the soil of the existence of the prescription is being eaten, many of the familiar herbs in the countryside in the past, modern people have never seen, mastered in the hands of the old generation of simple and effective prescription, because of the lack of rational use and protection, plus the latter is not willing to learn, there is a risk of loss of the tradition of the time. Such as some of the teachers inherited ancestral tradition, mastering the special effects of the prescription of the native, the native long soil Langzhong does not have the qualification of licensed physicians, some change profession, some can only top the "illegal practice of medicine" hat secretly open for business. Although all kinds of folk remedies are now all over the Internet, but in fact, some of the precious remedies are often scattered in the poor countryside, mastering these remedies may be illiterate, not to mention the Internet, with the advancement of time, these ancient remedies passed down for thousands of years will be forgotten by modern medicine, in the long run, it will lead to irreparable huge losses. These medical skills, special prescriptions are lost, and it will be difficult to study them in the future.

On the other hand, a variety of "ancestral recipes, medicine to the sick" banner of the charlatan but the prevalence of the masses, the masses of true and false, but also make many people suffer, easy to make generalizations, denying the role of folk remedies. And in the folk circulation of the single prescription, prescription, although there is no lack of life-saving treasures, but there are really confused varieties, concoctions, usage is not standardized, contraindications are not clear and other phenomena. In the face of such advantages and disadvantages difficult to distinguish between the "treasure trove" to do discerning eye is also the government departments concerned is a very headache of the reality of the problem.

Deepening the reform of the medical and health system to provide safe, effective, convenient and inexpensive health care services for the masses, to give full play to the characteristics of traditional Chinese medicine, "simple, convenient, testing, inexpensive," providing a broad space. In the new rural cooperative system, on the one hand, the reimbursement ratio of traditional Chinese medicine has been increased, the reimbursement of traditional Chinese medicine has been floated up by 10 percentage points on the basis of western medicines, and the reimbursement of some practical techniques of traditional Chinese medicine, such as acupuncture, massage and acupressure, can be reimbursed by 90%, and on the other hand, the reimbursement scope of traditional Chinese medicine has been expanded, so that the reimbursement of Chinese herbal medicines and the practical techniques of traditional Chinese medicine can be reimbursed with reference to the proportion of hospitalization in the following counties. In order to guide the people to see the Chinese medicine with Chinese medicine plays a big role. Shandong Provincial Administration of Traditional Chinese Medicine has also issued the "Shandong Province traditional medicine teacher assessment and confirmed expertise assessment implementation measures". This set of "measures" of traditional medicine, the teacher relationship is clearly defined, and at the same time, those who have a low education but have a skill of folk Chinese medicine practitioners or inheritors, through the provincial organization of the examination to obtain the qualification, and then obtain the qualification of licensed medical practitioners. For those folk TCM practitioners who are in urgent need of a proper name, the process of legalizing their identity has been initiated. However, the organization of traditional medical prescriptions, the protection of scattered folk medicine books, this work still needs to be explored and carried out.

Second, comments and suggestions

Folk prescription as a unique culture of Chinese medicine had made a great contribution to the health of the Chinese nation, is an inseparable part of the cohesion, creativity and cultural identity of the Chinese nation, is the old ancestor left us a summary of the experience, is invaluable, but now has been in the obliteration, loss of circulation, urgent need to collect, organize, research. Therefore, it is recommended that the provincial Department of Finance, the provincial Department of Health special funds for the province's folk Chinese medicine prescription, prescription for excavation and organization.

(a) to organize a census of folk remedies. Folk prescription is part of the culture of traditional Chinese medicine, belongs to the category of intangible culture, the relevant state departments should organize the medical profession, especially grass-roots medical and health personnel and folk Chinese medicine practitioners, scattered in the folk of traditional Chinese medicine, ancestral recipes for the collection of (can be considered as a paid subsidy), screening, reviewing, confirming, for the real value of the fixed formulas, relevant policy support can be provided in the formal health care institutions or by the qualification of the medical practice of doctors to promote. For fixed formulas of proven value, relevant policy support can be provided to promote them in formal medical institutions or by qualified doctors for the benefit of patients. If the efficacy cannot be determined for the time being, it should also be registered as a historical material for the study of Chinese medicine culture.

(2) the establishment of folk medicine research society, responsible for the rescue collection and organization of scattered folk single, tested prescription. The collection of single, tested prescription from the theoretical demonstration; in the application of technical guidance; in the promotion of the practical. The collection of single and tested prescriptions is organized into a booklet, and we will strive to achieve results within 3-5 years. The state should increase investment in this area, the local government should be given matching funds, now can understand the single prescription of Chinese herbal medicine is not much, if you do not pay attention to this work, understand the folk single prescription of the old, can not go to the mountains to collect medicine, oral transmission can not replace the field collection of useful to teach, and so on, the old generation is gone, the single prescription of Chinese herbal medicine is also lost.

(C) on the unique efficacy, confidentiality of the folk ancestral recipes, a skill of folk "Langzhong", should develop special policies to protect the intellectual property rights of users of these recipes and the right to practise medicine, the issuance of licenses for folk doctors to specialize in specialized skills and specialties, so that the folk doctors have a law to rely on for the relief of patients' suffering, will be the national medicine to carry forward the development and expansion. The development of national medicine is being carried forward. To fight against all kinds of charlatans under the banner of ancestral recipes, harming consumers, and to rebuild people's confidence in national medicine.

(4) suggested that the Department of Health, the Chinese Medicine Administration and other relevant government departments to develop relevant support policies to scientific research projects in the way of organizing research projects, subject to bidding, or commissioned by the relevant units such as colleges and universities, research institutes and clinical front-line staff of the underwriting of the folk test house verification, in order to remove the false and save the true. Both identify the authenticity of the prescription, the effectiveness of how, but also can provide an objective basis for the efficacy of folk remedies, to promote the popularization and application of folk remedies.
