But in the current, a lot of people for traditional Chinese medicine has two kinds of misreading, one is demonized, traditional Chinese medicine will off as worthless, even as a scourge; 2 it is sanctification of traditional Chinese medicine, will remove it as one of the cult's best approaches to the disease. The two extreme views, lack of rational cognition. By tu and others in the antimalarial drug artemisinin research experience, know Chinese and western medicine, moreover, the two organic combination, can be complementary advantages and potential.

Specifically, the state council executive meeting to promote the combination of Chinese and western medicine, exploring the use of modern technology and industry mode to speed up the development of Chinese medicine, it is based on a comprehensive understanding of traditional Chinese medicine, western medicine, as the fallacy rectification, for the way of traditional Chinese medicine, to usher in another spring of development of traditional Chinese medicine to provide institutional arrangements.

In the national list of essential medicines to increase the number of proprietary Chinese medicine varieties, better play to their role as the \"basic\". Strengthen the concept of traditional Chinese medicine research, expanding international trade of traditional Chinese medicine and dissemination. Development of traditional Chinese medicine for generations of people just move on, from social power load, also from government support. Chinese medicine is the wealth of ancestors left us, not good inheritance and development, make good use of, not a pity?

In December 2015, the 60th anniversary of China's traditional Chinese medicine academy of sciences, prime minister li keqiang, puts forward the sincere expectations, \"the general Chinese medicine workers should further strengthen their sense of mission and explorations of Chinese medicine the revitalization of development, to meet the needs of the masses health growing trend, insist on equal emphasis on Chinese and western medicine, highlight the characteristics of traditional Chinese medicine, with the help of modern technology, promote major drug discovery, progress was made in the major infectious diseases prevention and control and so on, to play a bigger role in deepening reform\". Its core meaning, be clear at a glance: should highlight the features and advantages of Chinese medicine, also should be with the help of modern technology; New progress of Chinese medicine, will have more sense, also is more influential.

Of course, in a new upsurge of Chinese medicine, the general practitioners should stay awake, dispelling frenzy, can't take the traditional Chinese medicine all deification, abandoned in the dregs of them should be.

Through inheritance develop, improve, will find and innovate, to benefit human beings. Obviously, the traditional Chinese medicine, to inherit already, also want to improve, more innovation; \"Challenge\" of western medicine, both don't have to be modest, also can't closed arrogance, but should complement each other, the development of Chinese medicine is more reliable tomorrow.
