Hello everyone, today we are going to discuss a controversial topic – Chinese medicine. Recently, Zhang Gongyao, a professor at Central South University, made a striking remark, in which he strongly demanded the banning of traditional Chinese medicine, and claimed that traditional Chinese medicine is immortal and intolerable. This point of view immediately sparked widespread attention and heated discussions, let's listen to Professor Zhang's original words and the different voices on this view.
Professor Zhang Gongyao said in an academic lecture: "I strongly demand that Chinese medicine be banned! Chinese medicine is the product of superstition and has no scientific basis at all. We should trust modern medicine, which has been rigorously scientifically validated with precise diagnosis and treatment. Professor Zhang's remarks immediately sparked an uproar, with supporters agreeing that there are indeed some problems with TCM that require in-depth reflection and reform. Opponents argue that traditional Chinese medicine, as a traditional Chinese medicine since ancient times, has a thousand-year-old history and should not be taken lightly.
According to his analysis, the theoretical basis of Chinese medicine is superstition and pseudoscience, and the curative effects of many Chinese medicine cannot be scientifically proven. He insisted that modern medicine had made great strides and should become the first choice for people to treat their diseases, rather than relying on traditional Chinese medicine, which has no scientific basis.
However, people who disagree with Professor Zhang's views also have their own opinions. They believe that while TCM may have some problems, it also has its own unique advantages. Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) focuses on a holistic approach and has a unique value and role in the prevention and treatment of diseases. Traditional Chinese medicine is widely used at home and abroad, and has been recognized and trusted by many patients. Therefore, outlawing TCM is not a wise choice.
For this problem, we need to be objective and rational, not only to respect the power of science, but also to retain the value of traditional Chinese medicine. Although traditional Chinese medicine needs to be improved, it is precisely because of its long history and profound cultural heritage that it can bring us more thinking and enlightenment. We can learn from the experience and wisdom of traditional Chinese medicine, combined with the development of modern medicine, to explore more comprehensive and effective diagnosis and treatment methods.
Finally, no matter what our views on TCM, we should respect different opinions and keep an open mind. Scientific progress requires us to always maintain a spirit of questioning and inquiry, as well as to respect history and tradition. Only in this way can we make greater breakthroughs and progress in the field of medicine.
To sum up, Professor Zhang Gongyao's strong remarks calling for the banning of traditional Chinese medicine have sparked widespread controversy. In any case, we should look at the issue of Chinese medicine with an objective and rational attitude, respecting the power of science and retaining the unique value of Chinese medicine. Only by finding a point of balance can we continue to move forward in the development of modern medicine.
