Researcher at the Chinese academy of traditional Chinese medicine tu 10, in Swedish capital Stockholm concert hall from the hand of the Swedish king Carl xvi gustaf accepted the 2015 Nobel Prize in physiology or medicine prize certificate, MEDALS and prizes, this is worth people boiling with cheering moments, not only is the world's scientific community to the 84 - year - old's academic research achievements fully affirmed, but western medicine to have 5000 years culture of the Chinese traditional Chinese medicine authority approval.

Tu is the first Nobel Prize winner. Her from the common Chinese herbal medicine plant extract artemisinin, it become one of the last line of defence against human malaria. According to data released by the world health organization (who), since 2000, more than 1 billion malaria patients in artemisinin-based treatment benefit, the popularity of malaria in several countries were successfully controlled.

Artemisinin is a gift to the world of traditional Chinese medicine. "This finding provides a powerful new means for human being, to deal with the debilitating, diseases affect millions of people every year." The Nobel committee in the word of this to tu this statement, "to improve the contribution of human health and to reduce pain is immeasurable."

The fact proved that again as the original, the most proud of traditional Chinese medicine and traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) is a great treasure. From shen nong tasted grass bouquet, with thousands of years of development and accumulation, comb the medicinal value of natural resources, form a unique system, by the sublimation of preventive medicine in clinical experience to become unique advantages, in caring about human health and for the generations to come.

In modern medicine development changes with each passing day today, traditional Chinese medicine and traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) does not fall behind, in contrast to many malignant diseases and chronic disease, cure more than western medicine. The world will not forget that the traceability of acupuncture, the ancient han period in the early 1970 s in the world to blow "acupuncture anesthesia" hot, even at that time also with US President Richard Nixon.

Similar like "acupuncture anesthesia" miraculous medicine, now still BuFaJiLi in China. Description have medical osteopathic, yimin sun leukemia treatment of traditional Chinese medicine, and so on are formed in the course of long-term clinical practice and exquisite and unique green medicine and therapy, and maximize the lifted hundreds of thousands of patients with painful disease.

Sadly, the original bright China, did not like tu and her artemisinin attract the world attention, more did not progress to the world health released because of the great strategic value. Investigate its reason, get rid of western medicine in the world medical dominant, traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) for a long time in "west to east" trend of marginalized and other factors, the current management system and innovation mechanism of Chinese medicine addition, there are some disadvantages.

Advocated "combine traditional Chinese and western medicine" evolved into today's look at, management and transformation of traditional Chinese medicine with western medicine. The main performance is: according to the theory, standards and methods of western medicine review of TCM; According to the western medicine hospital system and the mode of traditional Chinese medicine hospital for examination and approval of; Adopt western standards of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) starting practice medicine.

And old traditional medicine follow China's apprentice in Japan, based on "ZhongJingFang" hundreds of "Chinese prescription medicine" can direct the production and does not need any government agency for approval. Opposite at present in China, according to the configuration of proprietary Chinese medicine according to the analysis methods of modern medicine to do pharmacology and toxicology test.

Exploration for many years, innovation of traditional Chinese medicine can not form the market driving force. The main performance is: not more to do with the clinical curative effect of serious diseases as the main attack direction; Not more a collection of organisms, systems, new materials and other multi-disciplinary effectively guide the learning of Chinese medicine practice; Failed to completely break the trade barriers and the formation of a talent and technology transformation and upgrade the market platform.

The classic sentence "in traditional Chinese medicine in folk", said the number of years, can be a master to the famous doctor famous and even the national physician selection, these folk like walking on solving the people's disease "advice", but because there was no prominent identity or dazzling seniority is blocked outside the door. Just think, if you can launch a similar duration of challenge, lock in today's world medical frontier and difficult disease, by reference for selecting out more prescription techniques, the formation of the most valuable solution, there will be how much this will contribute to the world.

The concern is that the day before tu was awarded the Nobel Prize, the long-expected "of Chinese medicine law (draft), in a state council executive meeting, and will submit to the standing committee of the National People's Congress deliberation, it marks the cause of Chinese medicine from will be reflected in its own characteristics and rules of special legal protection, took to the road to healthy, sustainable and stable development.

Standing in the new opportunities of development of traditional Chinese medicine, we while the iron is hot to their own hard, be sure to a more pragmatic effect, in the top design under the framework of the system innovation, reform comprehensively and systematically, break the restrict the development of all kinds of barriers, for forward and speed up to the world of traditional Chinese medicine to lay the solid foundation.

Needless to say, then, the door of the Nobel will open more to China, will also have more and more people constantly win this award.
