"In recent years, traditional Chinese medicine in the spread of the global scope and scale is gradually expanding. According to statistics, in 168 countries and districts set up more than 80000 TCM clinic. But even so, traditional Chinese medicine culture grafting is not well still restricts the status abroad." The CPPCC national committee, Beijing university of Chinese medicine, dean of the school of Zhang Jicheng straight told reporters.

This restriction, mainly displayed in the output of Chinese medicine talents in our country, although most have skill, but limited to language and cultural differences, can not successfully the system of traditional Chinese medicine theory and thinking to the country, is transmitted to the it directly limits the further promotion of TCM culture in foreign countries and the status of TCM doctor in a foreign country.

The output of traditional Chinese medicine is far easier than cultural output

"For the present, the cultivation of the talents of Chinese medicine output methods are mainly domestic training, and given priority to with Chinese. Although there are some students to China to study Chinese medicine, but they are mainly Asian. There are fewer people to China to study Chinese medicine, the European and American countries and the European and American countries are our main talent output. So, we can output the talents of Chinese medicine of traditional Chinese medicine culture and local culture well grafting, become foreign spread of traditional Chinese medicine and the key to fall to the ground." Zhang Jicheng explained to reporters.

That is to say, at present, the output of the talents of traditional Chinese medicine in China are mostly focused on the technical level. Output without the concept of culture and talents, or not thinking system of traditional Chinese medicine, to spread traditional Chinese medicine culture would be a big problem.

"Because, the health of the people is a large system, it is not a pure refers to the health of the body, including mental health, moral health, behavior and so on. Health is more important depends on the person's heart, including psychology, mind, soul and mind. Heart decision behavior, and behavior way of human health effect is accounted for 60%. Behavior is determined by the inner thinking. One way of thinking and philosophy concepts, belong to the category of culture, also need to strengthen training international talents of Chinese medicine in our country. Because, this is much more difficult than to learn a recruit a type." Zhang Jicheng said.

"In fact, the European and American countries are welcome to Chinese medicine, in addition to the curative effect of traditional Chinese medicine, mainly because of the theoretical system of cure not ill can largely save the health spending in these countries." Zhang Jicheng believed that Chinese medicine keeping in good health is also a kind of health education idea, not cure disease (prevention) is far more valuable than have problem, and prevention is also had recognized the health concept of developed countries.

Identity status can ascend

Fault of cultural integration, is actually talents abroad of Chinese medicine in China is facing a collective embarrassment. Many doctors sigh, in foreign countries, they seem to is a massage, massage, and occasionally do acupuncture, even the pulse this way of traditional Chinese medicine) appeal is not recognized.

Zhang Jicheng think, only in other countries, on the basis of recognition of traditional Chinese medicine culture, the national status of traditional Chinese medicine to improve. To this, he also have deep understanding.

Last year, Zhang Jicheng was invited to go to the Australian capital Canberra to local Chinese medicine keeping in good health culture. In the process of teaching, Zhang Jicheng found that australians questions and there are sharp, they not only focus on acupuncture and moxibustion, cupping therapy is the technology of traditional Chinese medicine, also focus on taiji diagram, Yin and Yang five lines of the traditional Chinese medicine keeping in good health culture, it makes him very surprise and joy.

"In fact, Australia is the world's first for the legislation of Chinese medicine in the western countries. This is at the national level law, it is based on the identification of the culture of Chinese medicine. And only the cultural identity, to elevate the status of traditional Chinese medicine in one country." Zhang Jicheng advice, by the state, in more countries in the world advocate legislation of Chinese medicine, it will promote the spread of the culture of Chinese medicine.

In addition, to promote Chinese medicine culture in the world within the scope of influence, truly "area along the way, the traditional Chinese medicine", also need to make the fullest use of the power of overseas Chinese.

Zhang Jicheng teaching in Australia, a local Chinese doctors in the translation work, with Zhang Jicheng talked about traditional Chinese medicine treatment is superior to the west against the treatment and healing cure not ill than in the west have disease, the term "better than" can be translated cleverly avoided. Later the Chinese doctor told Zhang Jicheng, traditional Chinese medicine to spread abroad, first of all, to recognize the local culture, so the culture of traditional Chinese medicine can be recognized. And this kind of culture of mutual recognition, performance in terms of health concept, is the concept of two different objective presentation, rather than who is better than the comparison and judgment.

Illnesses because of the Chinese art of TCM culture propagating in the "mystery", he was to pay special attention to in the process of daily practice to the local people spread the concept of Chinese medicine keeping in good health, education people to change their unhealthy behavior. For this purpose, the doctor of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) has formed a specialized knowledge of healthy tissue, in a fixed time to carry out interaction with local people. These practices, let him get satisfaction is higher and higher in the patient, his clinic has gathered more and more local people.

"In fact, culture is equal. The output of the talents of Chinese medicine, more is a kind of cultural transmission. We only on the basis of mutual respect, to show us the broader culture charm of traditional Chinese medicine." Finally, Zhang Jicheng said.
