Does TCM really enter the campus to cultivate traditional culture?

In recent years, "Chinese medicine enters the campus" has become the unanimous voice of NPC deputies and CPPCC members. Nowadays, with the implementation of the Chinese medicine curriculum for fifth-grade primary school students in Zhejiang, it means that "Chinese medicine starts with dolls" has changed from advocacy to action. Although it is controversial, it is of experimental significance to offer Chinese medicine courses in primary schools.

The introduction of Chinese medicine into the campus is conducive to the popularization of Chinese medicine. As the quintessence of traditional Chinese medicine, the theory of syndrome differentiation and treatment of traditional Chinese medicine has been fully verified for its scientificity, effectiveness and rationality after thousands of years of development. However, in recent years, with the gradual rise of the west wind and the popularization of western medicine, there was once a dispute between "powder of traditional Chinese medicine" and "powder of western medicine", during which there was no lack of stigmatization of traditional Chinese medicine and even regarded it as pseudoscience. The most direct result of the decline of TCM value recognition is that the mass base of TCM is getting weaker and weaker, and the inheritance and popularization of TCM are affected. The medical pattern of "making foreign things serve China and combining traditional Chinese and western medicine" is unbalanced, and the dominance of "western medicine" will inevitably impact the basic system and folk framework of Chinese medicine. It has become a top priority to cultivate the common sense of TCM from an early age and have a scientific understanding of the scientificity of TCM.

Chinese medicine entering the campus is also conducive to cultivating Chinese medicine culture. The formation of culture is inseparable from the power of groups. Only when the whole society has a high degree of enthusiasm can the "fever of traditional Chinese medicine" be formed again and Chinese medicine can be carried forward in the inheritance. In the current process of TCM communication, the biggest bottleneck lies in the lack of a platform for TCM value transmission and publicity. As an important part of the education system, school education has irreplaceable social functions. Let school education play an important role in the popularization of Chinese medicine, which is not only the function of school education, but also the inevitable requirement of severe reality.

Objectively speaking, the introduction of Chinese medicine into campus is an innovation of quality education. The main function of education should be personality shaping and quality training, which is also the goal pursued by quality education. Traditional Chinese medicine is not only a medicine, but also a synthesis of philosophy, anatomy, physiology, psychology and other disciplines. Traditional Chinese medicine regards people as a whole and thinks that people are closely related to natural environment, psychology and social factors. Grasping the holistic view of traditional Chinese medicine and the medical system of syndrome differentiation and treatment is helpful to the value cultivation and personality shaping of minors. Under the condition that the national scientific literacy needs to be improved as a whole, the introduction of Chinese medicine into the campus is conducive to the expansion and quality improvement of quality education.
