"May there be no disease in the world
Why don't you put medicine on the shelf and make dust"
This is the motto of many healers who hang pots
The culture of Chinese medicine that was once so prosperous
Why is it fading now?
Dr. Zhang is an old Chinese medicine practitioner with more than 30 years of experience
He runs an ancestral medical center
He specializes in using Chinese medicine to treat various chronic and recalcitrant diseases
He enjoys a high reputation in the local area
Many patients come to him every day
Dr. Zhang's most commonly used recipe is called "Four Gentlemen's Soup"
It is composed of ginseng, white art, poria and licorice
This recipe
It has the effect of tonifying qi and strengthening the spleen, invigorating qi and rejuvenating, and harmonizing yin and yang
It is suitable for various symptoms caused by deficiency of qi and spleen
Such as fatigue, loss of appetite, bloating, loose stools, etc
Dr. Zhang thought
"Four gentlemen's soup" is a good remedy for qi deficiency and spleen deficiency
As long as the medicinal herbs are used correctly
You can get good results
however
Few years
Dr. Zhang found
The efficacy of "Four Gentlemen's Soup" is not as good as before
Many patients after taking it
Not only is there no noticeable improvement
Instead, there were some adverse reactions
Such as dry mouth, palpitations, insomnia, etc
Dr. Zhang felt very strange
He carefully examined his prescriptions and medications
No problems were found
He began to wonder if there was something wrong with the quality of the medicinal herbs
thereupon
He went to his own medicinal supplier
Carefully inquire about the source and price of medicinal herbs
The supplier told him
Today's medicinal herbs are purchased from other places
The price is also much higher than before
The supplier said
Now authentic medicinal herbs are becoming more and more difficult to find
Many were snapped up by the Japanese
The Japanese want to snap up authentic medicinal herbs
Don't hesitate to pay a high price
He even sent people to various places to collect and cultivate authentic medicinal herbs
You can't even get medicinal herbs
It destroys the environment where medicinal herbs are grown
Suppliers are also distressed
There is no way for them either
Only from elsewhere
Stock some ordinary ones
Or inferior medicinal materials to supply the market
Dr. Zhang was very angry when he heard this
He felt that this was an infringement and blasphemy against Chinese medicine
He was going to personally look for authentic medicinal herbs
Provide the best treatment for your own patients
Dr. Zhang began his journey to find medicine
He first went to Jilin Province, where ginseng is produced
After he arrived there
It was found that the mountain forest where ginseng originally grew had been cut down
Instead
Patches of corn and rice paddies
He asked the local farmers
I learned that the ginseng here had been bought by the Japanese
And then they contracted the land here
They also threatened locals not to grow ginseng again
Otherwise, you will bear legal responsibility
Dr. Zhang felt helpless
He had to leave Jilin Province
Dr. Zhang, who was not dead, went elsewhere
Shaanxi Province, which is rich in white art
Hubei Province, which is rich in poria
Gansu Province, which is rich in licorice
The situation in these production areas is also not optimistic
Drugs were bought up on a large scale
Land or erect tall buildings
Or build a factory
Vegetation and soil have been destroyed
Cultivated medicinal herbs
The efficacy is greatly reduced
There is no medicinal value
Even the medicinal herbs grown have their own toxins
Dr. Zhang felt desperate
Dragged his tired body back to his hometown
See opposite your own medical hall
A new medical clinic was opened
The owner turned out to be Japanese
Dr. Zhang was very angry
I want to rush in and theorize
But I saw the door on the other side
He suddenly froze
Weakly sat down in the chair
Two lines of clear tears slipped down the man's face
I only feel sadness in my heart
He looked at his hands, which he had practiced medicine for most of his life
Muttered:
100 years of heritage
And so it broke
It's broken...
He suddenly understood a truth:
Originally
It is no one else who has cut off the path of Chinese medicine
It's us!
«——[·Data analysis·] ——»
According to statistics
There are more than 8,000 kinds of Chinese medicinal materials in the mainland
More than 1,000 of them are endangered or extremely scarce
More than 2,000 species have become rare
meanwhile
Japan is positive
Acquire and monopolize the authentic medicinal resources of the mainland
According to reports
Japan imports about 100,000 tons of Chinese medicinal materials from China every year
It accounts for more than 80% of China's total exports
Japan not only buys large quantities of precious medicinal herbs from the mainland
Advanced technologies and standards are also utilized
It is processed and purified
Produce high-quality, high-value TCM preparations
and exported all over the world
So
Japan has not only made huge profits
It also preempted the international market
It has weakened the competitiveness of the mainland traditional Chinese medicine industry
Authentic medicinal herbs
It refers to growing under certain conditions, such as a certain region, climate, soil, etc
It is made by specific harvesting and processing methods
Chinese medicinal materials with high quality and stable curative effect
Authentic medicinal herbs are the essence of Chinese medicine
It is the guarantee of the treatment effect of traditional Chinese medicine
however
Recently
Due to population growth
economic development
Ecological environment changes and other reasons
This has led to the reduction and degradation of authentic medicinal resources
«——[·Epilogue.]——»
TCM faces a serious crisis:
Lack and decline in quality of authentic medicinal herbs
This crisis has not only affected
TCM treatment effect and safety
It also threatens the inheritance and development of TCM culture
And the root cause of this crisis
It's not just the monopoly and exploitation of the Japanese
And our own ignorance and backwardness
Traditional Chinese medicine is a treasure of traditional Chinese culture
It is the pride of the Chinese nation!
Recently
The advantages of TCM in the treatment of chronic diseases are gradually emerging
More and more people are paying attention to the culture of Chinese medicine
We should attach importance to the development of traditional Chinese medicine
Let Chinese culture develop in China
And then radiate to the world!
