China's traditional Chinese medicine reported

        About culture, academia has a lot of different definitions, but its nature is human understanding of their own and the world around him and the ability to controll. And Chinese medicine culture as an important content of the Chinese culture, in the different historical period in different forms there. How to understand and to construct modern form of TCM culture, let Chinese culture become modern Chinese excellent culture part of how we meet the 21 century international cultural challenges the important task.

        A mention medical culture, what people thinks of above all is mostly traditional culture. Such as Confucianism, Taoism and Buddhism is comprised of Chinese traditional culture the three pillars, as traditional Chinese medicine and traditional Chinese culture is inevitable for the soil. But contemporary Chinese mainstream culture is no longer the Confucianism, Taoism, Buddhism,, but have a more diverse cultures. For example of western learning and marxism has become an integral part of the contemporary Chinese civilization, on the development of traditional Chinese medicine plays the major role can't be underestimated.

        The author thinks that, a more comprehensive and fusion of cultural elements, the time has come, if we haven't accept multicultural thought preparation, even with all sorts of reason refused to foreign culture outstanding elements may be rejected by the mainstream culture and marginalized, lose the opportunity of the development of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM).

        For example the marxist, for the course of the history of man pointed out the direction, if not for hundreds of years China's excellent intellectuals choose the marxism, will not have the birth of new China, also won't have after new China was founded on the protection of the traditional Chinese medicine.

        But it is worth noting that, some scholars have marxist dialectical materialism into the development of traditional Chinese medicine said "the biggest barrier", instead keen on western idealistic philosophy of introduction. Buddhism is also a kind of culture from a foreign, was introduced into China was gradually after the Chinese in China, become the important part in the folk beliefs, and it can be said that China's culture in a certain extent of Buddhism.

        Besides of western learning, and between traditional Chinese medicine is modern medicine recently. It includes medical science and YingKeXue, through the continuous differentiation and integration, now has more than 100 subjects. Modern medicine according to the new medical model, has developed into a huge human medical system. Including basic and clinical medicine, medical humanities, medical philosophy social science and medicine, etc. If we remain in at the beginning of the east like to imagine modern medicine, and the rejection, inevitable is blind. Look, the history of Chinese and western medicine huitong has not completed the task in this lesson will complement huitong.

        Traditional Chinese medicine to toward modernization, must be in modern medicine as bridge, bold absorption of modern medical humanities spirit and scientific technology. Some say this will make "traditional Chinese medicine in imperceptible in into the modern scientific" modernization- -the-destroy western scientific of 'danger condition ". In fact, this "formula" totally ignore the modern science to the promoting function of traditional Chinese medicine.

        As we eat steamed bread is not because of steamed bread, and drink of milk milk, if we for their own culture and civilization full of confidence, it can completely foreign things serve, nutrition itself. For example as China's cultural carrier square characters, from primitive state pictograph symbols, to the history of the oracle, ShiGuWen, again to the paper writing and printing, every times according to need and ongoing "modernization". The invention of the queen of laser printing systems is also a time of the modernization of the Chinese character culture tremendous revolution, is the modern scientific Chinese characters, but did not let the Chinese characters into western words, so Chinese characters not because the modern scientific and destruction.

        Chinese traditional culture is not afraid of westernization. For example through countless hardships to western through of tang's monk teacher and pupil, whether to endanger the development of local culture at that time? In fact, even if the sun wukong to worship the Lord Buddha, western, Chinese culture is still one of the typical elements, he did not name is George, not name is David or last name Samson. Instead, now our giant pandas have become Hollywood movies, and a return to earn big money for the Chinese people, shows that the American people are not afraid of their culture is Chinese. We should have their own culture with confidence.

        We should understand that the, the development of traditional Chinese medicine still the biggest enemy is yourself. When Chinese medicine can be bold to absorb the countries of the advanced culture, bold and digest the introduction of modern science, to the development of Chinese medicine in spring. So we must set up a new world outlook, standing in the height of the new civilization all mankind to carefully examine our traditional Chinese medicine practice, comprehensive world all human wisdom, constructing the modern medical culture form; Its core must people-oriented, practice first, make the past serve the present, foreign things serve.
