Zhejiang wenzhou folk famous TCM Pan Defu has died. Although his superb medical skill, but has not obtained the lowest qualification of assistant practicing doctors. According to the professional medical practitioners law "regulation, his clinic has been banned in accordance with the law.

Pan Defu experience, has a representative in the folk medicine. Since the ancient times, the mode of inheritance of traditional Chinese medicine mainly master train an apprentice, oral teaching. Folk medicine can survive, mostly because of skilled. With the implementation of the professional medical practitioners law, when the doctor's threshold is higher and higher. Although folk medicine look sick, they may not take an examination of the Shanghai, a practice certificate paper blocked their way. So, some were forced to give up practicing medicine, some helpless living overseas, some let Chinese medicine techniques in long lost. National physician master tie-tao deng said in my heart: "for thousands of years of traditional Chinese medicine's treasure lost too much."

TCM is experience medicine, a lot of classical prescription and unique skills are still hidden in the folk. Folk medicine "grassroots" attribute, its vitality. The late master of national physician liangchunzhu said: "can zang-fu organs, such as language, the healer surface such as soil." At present, many incurable diseases cannot be cured, in fact, both born, disease, and medicine. Many have special healing method, buried deep folk in one thousand, once finishing excavation, tend to become a major scientific and technological innovation achievement. With acute myelocytic leukemia, for example, early Chen scientists through to the treasure-house of traditional Chinese medicine, such as developing new therapies, the source of the idea from the folk. Heilongjiang a doctor of traditional Chinese medicine with arsenic, light powder (mercurous chloride) and toad venom lymphatic tuberculosis and cancer treatment, then, first affiliated hospital of Harbin medical university regions Zhang Ting found, as long as there is in the mixture of arsenic is effective, other no therapeutic effect. Later the researchers eventually tong unveil plans, found that the treatment mechanism of stop cancer cells from "growing", eventually into apoptosis, stylized will incurable disease become a treatable disease. This achievement is represented in the field of the world's highest research level, and become the internationally recognized standard treatment.

Today, the doctor of traditional Chinese medicine education in colleges and universities education as the main body, inheritance by book knowledge, pay attention to the standardization of the modernization of teaching materials, language, oral teaching shicheng system decline of traditional Chinese medicine. Despite li ke that derived from folk Chinese medicine from the grassroots to become famous, but after all. College education and shicheng education is the cultivation of the two different mode, as growth in different soil seed, use unified examination standard to measure its success or failure, for outstanding talents to stand out in TCM.

Save the folk traditional Chinese medicine, it is necessary to solve the "difficult to access". According to the provisions of the current Chinese medicine qualification accept shicheng education practice can be difficult to obtain qualification certificates. Relevant departments on the development strategy of traditional Chinese medicine, should adhere to the traditional mode to modern mode coexist, the categorized management, set up the traditional TCM doctor, to learn ways to learn Chinese medicine, can apply for to take part in a traditional TCM doctor qualification examination, and obtain the corresponding Chinese medicine practice qualification. At the same time, the reform of medical practitioners of traditional Chinese medicine qualification admittance, practicing scope and management system, according to the professional skills to explore the categorized management, to do Chinese medicine clinic personnel records management according to law.

Reduce the threshold of folk medicine practice, is not to protect behind, is not to "fake" of traditional Chinese medicine to develop, but to save the endangered folk seeds of Chinese medicine, and waste after. According to incomplete statistics, in the countryside, remote areas, there are at least 150000 folk medicine, many of them old, if you don't to eco-systems, folk medicine will pass on to continue. Looking forward to the folk position of traditional Chinese medicine, let the treasure of traditional Chinese medicine to benefit mankind better.
