Shoulder the mission, inherit the past and the present
Wen Changlu, academic advisor of the Chinese Association of Traditional Chinese Medicine
Wen Changlu, academic adviser of the Chinese Association of Traditional Chinese Medicine, has long been committed to the study of traditional Chinese medicine culture and science popularization, and has a profound understanding and insight into the connotation of traditional Chinese medicine culture and the significance of traditional Chinese medicine science popularization, he pointed out that the dissemination of traditional Chinese medicine health science culture undertakes the historical mission of inheritance, innovation, popularization and dissemination of traditional Chinese medicine, which is the process of inheriting the past and the present, from deep and shallow, from rational to practical. It is necessary to simplify the complex content and popularize the difficult content of Chinese medicine, but also not to distort or defame the image of Chinese medicine.
Traditional Chinese medicine people should strive to study the characteristics of the dissemination of popular science culture, master the methods of popular science culture dissemination, and through the re-creation of art and rich and novel means of expression, according to people, places and timely conditions, the knowledge of traditional Chinese medicine is timely and accurately sent to the hearts and minds of the people. Only in this way can more people love Chinese medicine, accept Chinese medicine, and benefit from Chinese medicine, so that the health quality of the people can be continuously improved and the healthy lifestyle of the Chinese people can be gradually established and perfected.
Jiang Quan, director of the Rheumatology Department of Guang'anmen Hospital, China Academy of Chinese Medical Sciences
"While we learn from and absorb multidisciplinary knowledge, including Western medicine, we must maintain a strong background of Traditional Chinese medicine and pass on the roots of Traditional Chinese medicine culture." The dissemination of traditional Chinese medicine science and culture should be closely centered on the banner of the party, and we must arm the minds of Chinese medicine people with traditional Chinese medicine culture and popular science, and make unremitting efforts and make great efforts for a larger group of people to love chinese medicine, believe in traditional Chinese medicine, use traditional Chinese medicine, and benefit from traditional Chinese medicine. Jiang Quan, director of the Rheumatology Department of Guang'anmen Hospital of the Chinese Academy of Chinese Medical Sciences, said, "The culture of traditional Chinese medicine science popularization is an important element of national innovation, and the popularization of traditional Chinese medicine is also a project with heavy tasks and a long way to go." ”
Active communication, scientific management
Haixia, chairman of the Science Popularization Branch of the Chinese Association of Traditional Chinese Medicine
As a Chinese medicine expert and Chinese medicine news and publicity worker, Haixia, chairman of the Science Popularization Branch of the Chinese Association of Chinese Medicine, has seen in the long-term news publicity of traditional Chinese medicine, the dissemination of traditional Chinese medicine culture and the management of science popularization that the current cause of traditional Chinese medicine health science is in full swing, and the enthusiasm and participation of the majority of Chinese medicine personnel in traditional Chinese medicine science popularization are high, which has played an important role in disseminating Chinese medicine culture, scientifically popularizing Chinese medicine theory and knowledge, and promoting the inheritance and innovation of traditional Chinese medicine. Especially in the new media environment, the popular science knowledge of traditional Chinese medicine has increasingly become a hot search topic in various social communication channels, and the characteristics of flexible, diverse and convenient forms have also made the health knowledge of traditional Chinese medicine gradually penetrate the hearts of the people.
Haixia also pointed out that although the popularization of traditional Chinese medicine has achieved gratifying results, there are also many problems, such as the inaccurate and rigorous content of the theory and knowledge of traditional Chinese medicine explained by some people, resulting in adverse effects; Some of the content is false, and the exaggerated efficacy is controversial; Some people have made some things mysterious, including some mysterious and idealistic content. These problems will have a negative impact on the popularization of traditional Chinese medicine, and it is urgent to attach great importance to it, clear the source, and manage it scientifically.
From the perspective of the masses, patience and perseverance
Han Xuejie, researcher at the Institute of Clinical Basic Medicine of Traditional Chinese Medicine, China Academy of Chinese Medical Sciences
Han Xuejie, winner of the 2020 annual scientific research and science popularization figures, said that the development of scientific research and popularization of traditional Chinese medicine is not smooth sailing, and often encounters the following problems:
First, how to grasp the transformation of the expression of scientific researchers and science popularization workers. Chinese medicine professionals want to transform the obscure professional terms of Chinese medicine into the language that is easy for the people to understand, which requires us to truly understand the cultural connotation of Chinese medicine. For example, in the Yellow Emperor's Inner Classic, it is said that "the wind of false evil and thieves is avoided sometimes", telling us that health care should conform to the four seasons, such as avoiding the cold in summer, and not excessively greedy for cold and wind. It can be seen that the health knowledge of traditional Chinese medicine is inseparable from our daily life, and only by popularizing the content of professional knowledge can we make the popularization of traditional Chinese medicine truly enter the homes of ordinary people.
Second, how to make the public accept and willing to apply TCM health knowledge requires us to think deeply. In this regard, the popularization of traditional Chinese medicine should achieve three words: "faith, sincerity and goodness". The so-called "letter" is to ensure the authenticity and accuracy of the popular science content, and to let the people obtain practical and usable knowledge of traditional Chinese medicine and health; The so-called "sincerity" is to maintain enthusiasm for science popularization work. Science popularization work is a matter that requires patience and perseverance, and it is necessary to transmit health knowledge to the masses regularly, regularly and in a targeted manner, and cannot be abandoned halfway; The so-called "goodness" is to protect the fundamental interests of the people, always think from the perspective of the people, be anxious about the needs of the people, think of what the people think, and let the Chinese medicine benevolent technique benefit hundreds of millions of people. Scientific interpretation, simple and vivid
You Yun, China Academy of Chinese Medical Sciences
From planting the seeds of interest at an early age, to writing "Knocking on the Door of Chinese Medicine" as an expert and winning the 2021 annual popular science work of Traditional Chinese Medicine, You Yun, a researcher at the Institute of Chinese Materia Medica of the Chinese Academy of Chinese Medical Sciences, said that telling the story of Chinese medicine is a process that needs to be in-depth, understood and recreated; The simple and vivid language, solid theoretical knowledge of Chinese medicine and cutting-edge modern scientific research results are the basis for writing popular science books on Chinese medicine.
In more than 20 years of working at the Institute of Chinese Materia Medica of the Chinese Academy of Chinese Medical Sciences, You Yun has been committed to using modern scientific and technological means to interpret "Why is Chinese Medicine Effective?" ”。 With the continuous deepening of research, You Yun and her team found that the two-way regulatory effect of Chinese medicine pharmacology can not only be understood from the perspective of biological regulation, but also from the perspective of biopharmacology, which has brought new inspiration and new ideas to her scientific work on traditional Chinese medicine.
I believe that with the joint efforts of experts and scholars, we will be able to collide with the spark of ideas, provide more new knowledge, new theories and new methods to meet the needs of the people for a healthy life, and make greater contributions to serving the country and benefiting the people.
