Original title: Chinese medicine culture display space: tell the story of Chinese medicine in the closed loop of the Winter Olympics

Located in the middle of the Chinese medicine culture display space in the main media center of the Winter Olympics, stands a life-size acupuncture copper man, the two outer rings surrounding the copper man are marked with twenty-four solar terms and twelve meridians, and the display screen behind the acupuncture copper man is introducing the knowledge of the twenty-eight stars and the five elements of yin and yang.

The vivid picture attracted an American reporter passing by the exhibition hall, who, while walking through the museum, said to the docent Song Yingmei that he loved Chinese culture very much, not only had an understanding of the five elements of yin and yang, the twenty-four solar terms and the twenty-eight stars involved in Chinese medicine culture, but also deeply recognized the concept of "the unity of heaven and man" in Chinese medicine culture. He found the exhibition hall very interesting and told Song Yingmei that he would come back in the future.

The Chinese Medicine Culture Exhibition Space was jointly completed by the Chinese Academy of Chinese Medical Sciences with the approval of the Organizing Committee of the 2022 Winter Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games and with the support of the State Administration of Traditional Chinese Medicine. Taking the great anti-epidemic spirit as the baseline, the exhibition is displayed in the form of videos, graphics, physical objects, AI interactive experiences, etc., showing the profundity of Chinese medicine culture, the development and progress of the Chinese medicine industry and the contribution of Chinese medicine to the world.

Song Yingmei told reporters that the exhibition is divided into four parts: "Artemisia annua, a rejuvenated grass", based on Tu Youyou's Nobel Prize, showing the discovery process of plants to artemisinin, leading to the contribution of the combination of ancient Chinese medicine culture and modern science and technology to human health; "Colorful Chinese Materia Medica" introduces the formation of the cultural system from Shennong to taste hundreds of herbs, combined with the results of the fourth national census of traditional Chinese medicine resources, introducing the contribution of the resource census to the development of traditional Chinese medicine; "The world's traditional Chinese medicine" It shows the influence of traditional Chinese medicine on the traditional medicine of countries along the ancient Silk Road and the acupuncture of traditional Chinese medicine, Tibetan medicine bath, tai chi and the Memory of the World Register "Yellow Emperor Neijing" and "Compendium of Materia Medica", introduces the current legislation and development of Traditional Chinese medicine in various countries in the world, "Chinese Medicine Participates in the Prevention and Control of the New Crown Pneumonia Epidemic" introduces the participation of Chinese medicine in the fight against the epidemic, shows the achievements of Chinese medicine in helping China fight against the epidemic, the role of "three medicines and three parties" in the treatment of seriously ill patients, and the characteristics of Chinese medicine in China's anti-epidemic plan.

Song Yingmei told reporters that in recent days, the exhibition hall has received an average of more than 100 visitors per day, including volunteers, Chinese and foreign media reporters and resident staff of the main media center. Visitors gave high praise to the design and content of the exhibition, especially the AI interactive experience "Playing Tai Chi Blind Box" activity, which attracted many Chinese and foreign people to participate.

Song Yingmei said that although many of the foreign journalists who came to visit the exhibition hall were coming to China for the first time, they were not unfamiliar with traditional Chinese medicine methods such as tai chi, acupuncture and cupping. At the 2016 Rio Olympic Games, the cupping marks on the body of American swimming star Phelps attracted much attention, and also ignited the enthusiasm of many foreign friends for Chinese medicine. Therefore, when these foreign reporters saw the teachers on the AI interactive experience screen in the exhibition hall playing tai chi, they followed suit. Many people know after playing Tai Chi that there is also a chance to smoke a blind box after playing Tai Chi again. There are 5 kinds of bookmarks and 9 kinds of refrigerator stickers in the blind box, which are printed with different Chinese herbal patterns such as lilies and mugwort leaves, which also greatly increases the interest of foreign friends. Foreign journalists who draw blind boxes will ask the docent what kind of Chinese herbs they have smoked and what effects they have.

The activity of "playing tai chi and smoking blind boxes" not only won the love of foreign friends, but also attracted many Chinese people. Many people recommend colleagues to play tai chi after they have finished playing tai chi, and some people feel that playing once is not addictive, repeatedly practicing with the screen, and striving to make the AI system that can track their movements score higher.

As a docent in the exhibition space, Song Yingmei's duty is to receive visitors and answer their various questions. There are 6 docents like her in the exhibition hall, and the exhibition hall is open from 8:30 a.m. to 10:30 p.m. every day, and there are no weekends and holidays, so Song Yingmei and her colleagues have to take turns on duty to explain. She said that although everyone is on duty very hard and the closed-loop management is also inconvenient, she is honored to be a docent in the display space of Chinese medicine culture, "I feel very proud to be able to participate in this event as a part of the Winter Olympics." ”

During the Spring Festival, the pavilion is open as usual, so Song Yingmei and her colleagues have to stay in the pavilion to work. Song Yingmei told reporters that this is the second time she can not go home for the New Year, although her heart will be a little sad, but her family is very supportive of her work, the company is also very concerned about her and her colleagues, and most importantly, "can spend a special and ceremonial Spring Festival with visitors from all over the world during the Chinese New Year's Eve and spring festival", which makes her feel both meaningful and satisfied.

Song Yingmei told reporters that the Beijing Winter Olympics is an important window and platform to show and disseminate the culture of traditional Chinese medicine to the world. Through the narrator's narration, it is her and every staff member's wish to let more people who come to visit understand the culture of Chinese medicine, and even take the initiative to spread the culture of Chinese medicine. What makes her happy and proud is that "this wish is being fulfilled little by little." ”
