In July 2015, the Beijing summer hot, in order to avoid the sinister sun, Yang Feng from dongzhimen, early in the morning 9 stops the subway, Liu Guyao to south third ring road, visit the doctor of traditional Chinese medicine theory research leading Ma Jixing.

Early 30 s Yang Feng is a researcher at the institute of academy of traditional Chinese medicine acupuncture and moxibustion, and postdoctoral Ma Jixing inheritance of traditional Chinese medicine academy of sciences workshop lineage. Today, on a regular basis to visit Ma Jixing, ask him the problems in the academic research and verify some historical data, to listen to his teachings have become Yang Feng part of the job.

Before 2009, Yang Feng never thought that he had just turned 30 himself could have the opportunity to follow Ma Jixing such TCM literature research circles of learning.

Such a chance to benefit from the development in recent years the country name old doctor of traditional Chinese medicine inheritance studio construction plans. So far, the state has invested 477 million yuan of special funds for the plan, in 31 provinces (autonomous regions and municipalities) set up 1016 of Chinese studios.

Many masters in traditional Chinese medicine, Chinese medicine high-level personnel of big cities such as Beijing, the plan is indeed played a famous doctor academic essence of inheritance, the role of cultivating talents of traditional Chinese medicine, but also a lot of problems and difficulties to overcome at the grassroots level and face.

The lack of a platform

In 1956, world leaders at the time of directly driven by all over the country in the name of the traditional Chinese medicine, Beijing launched the first in the history of Chinese public higher colleges and universities of Chinese medicine, Beijing institute of traditional Chinese medicine, which is today's Beijing university of Chinese medicine. Since then, China's education opens the college education of traditional Chinese medicine.

"Thousands of years, before the teacher and pupil inheritance, with study of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) has been the only way to talent training." Beijing Chinese medicine hospital affiliated to the capital university of medical sciences, (hereinafter referred to as the Beijing Chinese medicine hospital), vice President of Xu Chunjun told Oriental outlook weekly.

Colleges and universities of TCM education system established, soon becomes the main way of cultivating talents of traditional Chinese medicine.

"In Chinese medicine colleges and universities education development at the same time, with traditional pattern of teacher learning has been gradually fade." Xu Chunjun said. Chinese medicine colleges and universities education, he thought, in the process of the curriculum, too much emphasis on theory, scientific research and experiment, "this does not conform to their own discipline characteristic of traditional Chinese medicine".

Pay attention to the whole of traditional Chinese medicine, pay attention to achieve mastery through a comprehensive disciplines, more pay attention to for a long time, a large number of accumulation of clinical experience. Only in the traditional Chinese medicine pulse, the nearly hundred kinds of pulse condition tell need long-term practice. "These apparently not within five years of traditional Chinese medicine colleges and universities education can be done." Xu Chunjun said, no 20 years of effort, is grinding out a qualified doctor of traditional Chinese medicine.

So, a lot of traditional Chinese medicine college students can't find a job, and traditional Chinese is only 50 years old of above, be familiar with the skills of pure traditional Chinese medicine doctors are supported.

Some hospitals to see the problem, also try to change.

Beijing Chinese medicine hospital in the last century 70 s from the suburbs such as well as recruit a group of youth who are interested in the traditional Chinese medicine, formed a disciple class more than 10 people, each with a teacher. "They have more than 20 years with division in time." Xu Chunjun said, so that a group of doctors, while the degree is not high, the theory of literacy is limited, but everyone's medical skill is very good.

However, in terms of the whole industry, and inheritance of traditional Chinese medicine has always been the lack of a good platform. And with the doctor degree influence, in such aspects as title assess, upside is limited by many, so many young people don't want to do these "no birthright".

The state administration of traditional Chinese medicine also see the existence of the problem: the development of Chinese medicine and personnel training is dependent on the traditional teacher and pupil. But, for a long time, the old skill of inheritance of traditional Chinese medicine has no fixed place and relatively stable, relatively perfect inheritance, the research team, the old Chinese medicine expert academic experience is always in a personal, individual inheritance work level, the lack of systematic and integrity.

Based on this, the country has launched the national old Chinese medicine expert academic experience inheritance and inheriting the national famous old Chinese medicine experts studio projects, explore the inheritance of traditional Chinese medicine and promote the effective method.

Heritage is medical skill, but also medical ethics

"Is my teacher and inheritance of traditional Chinese medicine with division system let I have today's achievement." Mr. Told the Oriental outlook weekly. He is a Beijing university of Chinese medicine dongzhimen hospital (hereinafter referred to as the dongzhimen hospital) international medical department massage division of doctor of vice director of pain, is also the fourth batch of national shu-chun sun old Chinese medicine expert academic experience of heir.

Shu-chun sun is a national name old doctor of traditional Chinese medicine, the first batch of state-level non-material cultural heritage "palasy" passing on, is also one of the sixth DaiChuanCheng bonesetting genre qing.

As early as 1992 on the eve of graduation, Mr. Was studied with is one of the qing dynasty palace bonesetting genre DaiChuanCheng 6 people ZangFuKe palasy technique study.

In 2009, shu-chun sun and other three teachers in dongzhimen hospital 4th batch of the old Chinese medicine expert academic experience inheritance project. At the time, has been 15 years of practicing medicine Mr. Started learning bonesetting qing followed shu-chun sun system. Also studied with shu-chun sun was dongzhimen hospital other doctor. They like Mr., has ten years experience of palasy, have their own clinical thinking.

This is the old Chinese medicine expert academic experience inheritance choose heir standards, "general heir start from attending physician, there are many already is associate professor." Mr. Said.

At the same time, the state administration of traditional Chinese medicine launched in 2010, national name old doctor of traditional Chinese medicine inheritance studio has a similar requirement for construction projects. "For the old name of the expert's academic thoughts and the academic achievement of traditional Chinese medicine, graduate students it is difficult to understand, only these have certain clinical experience and thinking of the doctor to understand and inheritance." Xu Chunjun told this reporter.

With teacher, Mr. In addition to their normal out of outpatient service, every Wednesday morning with teachers out of outpatient service, even write prescriptions, writing notes with division, finishing with special basis in the process of practicing medicine.

With the teacher for six years, Mr. Said his biggest harvest is bonesetting manipulation has made a lot of improvement, but more let he moved is the teacher's virtue.

There was a 70 - year - old patients with cervical spondylosis all over each big hospital, recommendations are surgical treatment, do not want to do surgery the old man finally found shu-chun sun.

Patients with symptoms of description and imaging results are shown, this is typical of myelopathic type cervical vertebra disease. Mr. Surgery such as the disciple still think the best treatment, but shu-chun sun said after watching the movie, have cured with technique with traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) and functional exercise such diseases precedent, can try.

"Such a completely accords with the cases of surgical indications, palasy treatment is difficult, the risk is big, the teacher why must adhere to the treatment, we all don't understand at that time." Mr. Said.

Later, in shu-chun sun's insistence, half a year's technique with traditional Chinese medicine treatment, patients eventually recovered.

"To see the results, the reason why we didn't understand the teacher insisted that it is for their own medical skill is very confident, 2 it is to consider the treatment of traditional Chinese medicine to relieve patients' pain and economic burden." Mr. Laments.

There is a detail that left a deep impression on him. Some fractures patients need to take off the shoes on the medical bed, sometimes in the waiting room with many teacher learning, someone will accidentally kicked the patient's shoes under the bed. Every time meet this kind of situation, shu-chun sun will personally take out patients in their 70 s shoes, set, on the bed.

"Teacher in front of so doing, we just behind these students learn, this is the most simple inheritance, is also the teacher give our biggest wealth." Mr. Distressful.

To meet the best teacher

Unlike Mr., Yang Feng is engaged in research on Chinese medicine theory, and he met his inheritance tutor Ma Jixing, is more of a lucky, "this is god for my blessing, at the age of can't let me meet the best teacher."

Yang Feng knows the name "Ma Jixing" for the first time, or more than ten years ago. At that time he was also a study acupuncture literature and theory research, students in a graduate required textbooks on TCM philology, he saw the "Ma Jixing" name, know that he is a prolific literature of TCM academic accomplishment, to create the Chinese traditional literature, is a great authority.

As "in the theoretical research of traditional Chinese medicine of the younger generation, he gave me I never dare to think that one day I can study with ma." Yang Feng of Oriental outlook weekly said.

In 2009, approved by the national postdoctoral management committee, China academy of traditional Chinese medicine in our hospital within the scope of inheritance of traditional Chinese medicine postdoctoral work, Yang Feng to become postdoctoral Ma Jixing lineage.

In 2010, the state administration of traditional Chinese medicine to start the name old doctor of traditional Chinese medicine tradition studio projects, China academy of traditional Chinese medicine for cultivating high-quality talents of traditional Chinese medicine scientific research units, the first part. Ma Jixing inheritance studio as reported inheritance of traditional Chinese medicine academy of sciences, the third batch of studio for examination and approval, Yang Feng would be logical to become a member of the studio.

Unlike the heritage of TCM clinical, heritage more TCM theory research is to understand the teacher's academic thought, feel the teacher spirit of academic research.

So Yang Feng don't have to copy with visits, prescription, and write with notes, but he to study Ma Jixing academic works, summarizes the research of theory of TCM Ma Jixing academic characteristics, combined with their own situation to choose their own research, in-depth research, and through the theoretical research to promote the traditional Chinese medicine clinical technology and improvement of the effect.

Yang Feng said, follow the teacher for several years, teacher learning manner made him highly. He told this reporter, in the home of Ma Jixing, very little daily necessities, there are many books. In addition to a bed in the bedroom, the rest is all packed the books data. On the desk of the balcony, always put a pair of scissors and a bottle of paste and reams Ma Jixing of cuttings for over twenty years.

"Sometimes, even a few years later to the same question again have new comprehension, or see the new information, he will use small lower case GongGongZhengZheng write in, or cut added." Yang Feng said. "The older generation of Chinese medicine scholars for academic seriously and rigorous, let these young people."

Trouble at the grass-roots level

Compared with the large hospital or national research institute of traditional Chinese medicine, Chinese medicine inheritance the operation of the work at the grassroots level to face more difficulties and problems.

The first is the lack of talent. Where the doctor of traditional Chinese medicine for more than 10 years resources itself is not enough, and they are hard to outpatient service tasks, almost no one has spare time and energy, and few are willing to learn skills like new graduates with architect.

"Our studio only a successor, I can't afford the man to hospital, and no one is willing to come." Henan municipal old doctor of traditional Chinese medicine in a top three hospital of traditional Chinese medicine inheritance dunes, head of the studio (a pseudonym) told the Oriental outlook weekly.

And a Chinese medicine hospital in the city of the retired old doctor of traditional Chinese medicine also told this reporter, because no one, its several inheritance studio also is useless, "never see studio to open the door."

Dunes, therefore, have to allow yourself to take the graduate students to participate in the basis of sorting, compilation of data studio work, "but they don't have the vital clinical thinking and practice, the effect will sell at a discount greatly."

"More than a source stream" is a reflection of characteristic clinical advantages of traditional Chinese medicine, and make doctors and important way of cultivating high-quality talents of traditional Chinese medicine.

Therefore, the inheritance of traditional Chinese medicine also involves academic schools of the problem. Dunes, told this reporter, from 2010 up to now, he's hospital has established five inheritance studio, and five studios belong to an academic genres, but at different branches. This makes formed the homogeneity competition between each studio, hampered by serious each other, but become the inheritance in the development of resistance.

The state administration of traditional Chinese medicine in 2012 start of the academic schools of traditional Chinese medicine tradition studio projects, genre is to integrate resources, giving full play to the advantages of the characteristics of TCM academic schools, promote the innovation in the cultivation model of inheritance of traditional Chinese medicine.

Even so the meeting-place of all kinds of resources in Beijing, inheritance of traditional Chinese medicine is faced with effect of difficulties to keep for a long time. "It takes time for the growth of the talents of traditional Chinese medicine, construction period after the end of 3 years, how to use the late tracking and evaluation to ensure continuity of the long-term continuance of work is a big problem." Xu Chunjun admits.
