Traditional Chinese medicine propaganda

Traditional medicine in China has developed for more than two thousand years, forming a set of ideas and theories, which is the scientific accumulation of the great nation for thousands of years. However, for a long time, especially in the last hundred years, it has been distorted or unilaterally introduced by some people. Some scholars are biased because of their lack of understanding and research on the origin and development of traditional medicine in China, and lack of objective and correct evaluation of traditional medicine in China, which leads to some inappropriate comments on traditional medicine in China recently. In the long-term teaching work, I have the opportunity to study Chinese medicine literature in depth. Traditional Chinese medicine not only has a long history and rich medical theories, but also contains many scientific and technological inventions, which has made great contributions to the healthy survival of mankind. Try to introduce it from the following aspects.

1 ancient immune thought and immune technology

China's thought of disease prevention and immunity in traditional medicine has a long history. Neijing, a medical masterpiece in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, clearly emphasized: "If you don't cure the disease, you are a saint", "It's not too late to cure the disease after it becomes medicine", also known as "if you don't cure it, you will go to work". The famous medical scientist (Qin Yueren) said with deep feelings after seeing his illness: "If a saint can predict the future and a good doctor can do it as early as possible, then the disease can be cured and the body can be recovered. ".The above reflects that in the 4th and 5th centuries BC, the medical and intellectual circles in China had a heated discussion on whether diseases and disasters could be prevented. Through these discussions, we have established a consensus that a good doctor is a person who can prevent and treat diseases before they occur.

China ancient anesthesia and surgery.

In the long feudal society, natural science and technology were relatively backward, and anesthesia and surgery in ancient China failed to develop as it should. Due to the influence of a few researchers and some prejudices, the achievements of China traditional medicine in this field are almost unknown in academic circles. The development of anesthesia is closely related to the development of surgery. Hua Tuo, a famous surgeon, stressed that if the disease is caused by internal factors and acupuncture and drugs cannot cure it, surgery is needed. Before the operation, the patient should take Mafeisan and wine for anesthesia. When the drunkenness and pain disappear, abdominal resection or gastrointestinal resection and anastomosis can be performed. Thus, in the 3rd century, Hua Tuo, a famous surgeon in China, successfully used general anesthesia. In 1930s, American Laval pointed out when discussing Hua Tuo: "Some Arab authorities mentioned inhalation anesthesia, which may have evolved from China".

Repair and operation of joint injury

Orthopedics of traditional medicine in China also has a long history. As early as 2000 years ago, the medical system and medical branches had doctors specializing in the treatment of fractures. Orthopedics and traumatology departments have been set up in health systems of past dynasties. Regarding the manipulative reduction of joint dislocation-mandibular joint dislocation, Sun Simiao, the king of China medicine, improved Ge Hong's manipulative reduction in his works, emphasizing: "When one person grasps his head, the doctor puts his two thumbs on the mandibular teeth and pulls down. Then the description of "pushing it step by step to restore it" fully meets the requirements of physiological anatomy. The repair method is completely consistent with the steps of modern medical methods.
