We did not expect that the appearance of Chinese medicine at the Beijing Winter Olympics was so amazing, and every day friends from all over the world came with curiosity and left with admiration.

In the middle of the second floor of the main media center of the Winter Olympics, there is a 100-square-meter "Traditional Chinese Medicine Culture Display Space", and this magical "window" can always attract the attention of every passerby.

"The plant Artemisia annua, an inconspicuous grass, is used in traditional Chinese medicine to treat diseases such as hypothermia, heat stroke and jaundice. Referring to the experience of the ancients and combining modern technology, Tu Youyou developed and extracted artemisinin, which is the preferred drug for the treatment of malaria today. Tu Youyou was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine. Artemisia annua is one of tens of thousands of traditional Chinese medicines. "As a small grass tells the story, each guest is quickly brought into the world of Chinese medicine.

A Chinese painting depicts the whole process of the production and processing of Traditional Chinese medicine by the ancient Chinese, and the Diagnostic Method of Traditional Chinese Medicine "Look, Smell, Ask, and Cut" is condensed in four scenes. A huge "acupuncture copper man" tells you what acupuncture points and meridians are, and the 156 authentic herbs on the wall tell you that Chinese medicine is naturally sourced. A reishi mushroom unearthed in Zhejiang confirms that herbal medicine began to be applied 6800 years ago Chinese. Want to know the TCM legislation of your country and region, just touch the screen and see it at a glance. In the prevention and treatment of the new crown pneumonia epidemic, there are outstanding performances of traditional Chinese medicine "three medicines and three parties", this combination of appearances...

Pollina and Hanks from Russia were exposed to traditional Chinese medicine for the first time, and when they learned that Artemisia annua can cure malaria and that Chinese scientists won the 2015 Nobel Prize for it, Pollina gave a thumbs up and wrote "2015" in her small notebook, "I want to go online to learn more about this achievement." She said.

"Artemisinin has made a great contribution to the fight against malaria in humans." Japanese People such as Wakasagi and Hee know much more about Chinese medicine, saying that japan has not yet won a Nobel Prize for studying chinese medicine. After watching the animation of the whole process of artemisinin from "plant extraction" to "drug development", he sighed: "Artemisinin is a gift from traditional Chinese medicine to the world, and it is a representative of the innovation of traditional Chinese medicine. ”

Also full of identification with Chinese medicine is Singaporean She Bingshen, who is impressed by "looking, smelling, asking, cutting", "a pulse can know what is wrong with the body, it is amazing!" He said that Singapore now recognizes the efficacy of TCM, and in the past, many companies only recognized the Western medicine diagnosis sheets issued by employees and did not recognize TCM diagnostics, but now, TCM and Western medicine recognize it.

"Playing a set of tai chi can draw blind box gifts." The ad caught the eye of NBC Georgia and colleagues who followed the AI screen to play a set of Chen's nine-style tai chi, and after two minutes, they sweated slightly. "The words 'yi ju ke gang' and 'static braking' are very interesting, and during my time in Beijing, I wanted to learn this set of punches." Georgia said. The three of them drew a lottery and won a bookmark printed with "Yin Ping Yang Secret" and a refrigerator sticker shaped "Kombu" and "Burdock". When they learned the meaning of bookmarks and the role of Chinese herbal medicine, the three thought that this was the best Spring Festival gift.

When leaving the Chinese medicine exhibition space, the three of us sighed: Chinese medicine is developing rapidly at a speed that we cannot imagine. It is more convenient to see Chinese medicine; it is more reassuring to eat Chinese medicine; and the "Chinese solution" of chinese medicine and Western medicine to solve the problem of epidemic prevention and control is being accepted by more and more people. Chinese medicine and Western medicine are the treasures of human medicine, as long as they can cure diseases and save people and benefit mankind, who will bother with "which is higher and which is lower"?

Traditional Chinese medicine, which debuted at the Beijing Winter Olympics with a "shouzheng innovation" attitude, deserves a high score.
