"The so-called university is not a building, but a master." This famous sentence says that the "bigness" of a university does not lie in the number of buildings, but in the number of masters. Similarly, the strength of Chinese medicine does not lie in the size of the beds and scale, but in the number of TCM masters.
As the "crown" of the Chinese medicine industry, "Master of Traditional Chinese Medicine" selects 30 people from all over the country every five years, which is a highly valuable honor and the lifelong desire of every Chinese medicine person. At present, a total of 4 people in Henan have won the crown of "Master of Traditional Chinese Medicine", and 1 of them has passed away.
Henan is moving towards a strong province of traditional Chinese medicine, and in terms of cultivating and strengthening the young Chinese medicine army, Henan vigorously implements the "Qihuang Project" and "Zhongjing Project" of traditional Chinese medicine inheritance and innovative talent projects. How can we help TCM talents grow into "masters" faster?
Palpation is exquisite

It is not easy to devote your life to becoming a master. However, he devoted his life to learning from a teacher, and he was happy to hear about it.
It's a touching scene. A few days ago, Zhao Wenxia, a national famous Chinese medicine doctor, held the second batch of apprenticeship acceptance ceremony in Zhengzhou, and 22 Chinese medicine scholars from Beijing, Shanghai, Tianjin, Dalian, Xiamen, Guangzhou, Hangzhou, Fujian, Shenzhen, Ningbo, etc., worshipped her as a teacher in the name of apprentices. For a time, Henan seemed to have become a highland for traditional Chinese medicine talents. Zhang Lei, a 95-year-old master of traditional Chinese medicine, sat in a wheelchair and witnessed the acceptance ceremony of his 68-year-old disciple Zhao Wenxia. In the past, he led her to the entrance, and today he sees her take in disciples. It is decades to turn around, and the most important thing for the master's "this flavor medicine" is time.
Similar to this kind of ceremonial apprenticeship is staged in Henan from time to time. When the disciples face the teacher to worship the master tea and worship the teacher, the traditional Chinese medicine inheritance is sublimated from this moment, a master, a lifetime master, this worship is of far-reaching significance.
This worship is about respect. The Chinese respect the teacher, and the Zhou Dynasty has the gift of releasing the teacher. Later, Confucius said, "Those who bind themselves above the top, I have not tasted no teachings." The tradition of apprenticeship has a long history, and there is no teacher for anyone who learns all kinds of arts. Apprenticeship is one of the important ways to cultivate TCM talents, and it can be said that no teacher and no master are not considered to be beginners. In the long history of traditional Chinese medicine, Zhang Zhongjing, a native of Nanyang, Henan, Ye Tianshi, a famous doctor of the Qing Dynasty who was respected as the representative of the school of warm disease, and Tang Zuxuan, who was a fellow villager of Zhang Zhongjing, and Li Zhenhua, Tang Zuxuan, and Zhang Lei, masters of traditional Chinese medicine from Henan, all have stories of being humble and inquisitive, and learning from teachers.
With the master leading the apprentice, the torch is passed on. Not only in the field of traditional Chinese medicine, but also in many traditional skills industries, such as opera, calligraphy, Chinese painting, martial arts, education and other traditional cultures. In ancient times, Yang Shi was looking for a teacher, and Chengmen Lixue; There is also a great educator Confucius said: "If you are a threesome, you must have my teacher", he not only worships Lao Tzu as a teacher, but even worships 7-year-old Xiang Lu as a teacher.

This worship is a heavy trust. Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) was once known as one of the most mysterious medicines in the world, and a bowl of medicinal soup and a silver needle can often have an immediate effect. Traditional Chinese medicine has been born for thousands of years, which is inseparable from the talent training method of its teacher education.
In the Chinese medicine community, there is a story of "South Ran and North Zhang" (Ran Xuefeng, Zhang Xichun) in the apricot forest, and there is a special friendship between the two, which is Zhang Xichun's disciple of Ran Xuefeng. After Zhang Xichun's death, the disciples Zhang Fangyu, Sun Jingming and Li Baogong obeyed the teacher's last wish and worshiped Ran Xuefeng as their teacher, and these disciples later became famous and important. This kind of friendship between teachers and teachers is actually a continuation of the friendship of "South Ran and North Zhang", which shows the heart of boxing taught by the teacher back then, and also sees the effectiveness of traditional Chinese medicine in passing, helping and leading.
This worship is about medical ethics. Wang Yaoxian, president of Henan University of Traditional Chinese Medicine, made a special poem "Apricot Forest This Worship" at the apprenticeship ceremony of the first batch of classic backbone teachers of traditional Chinese medicine held by the school: "This worship, the apricot forest welcomes the new branches in spring, and the young shoots sway and spit out green color; This worship, the old tree is full of flowers, and Chengmen Lixue continues to come and go; This worship, the mantle is passed down from one to another, and the liver and gallbladder are as deep as the sea; This worship continues the medical lineage, and the torch is passed on to the eternal glory; Hanging pot to help the world, benefit the people, look at my traditional Chinese medicine, keep the integrity and innovation to the future. ”
Take the famous doctors as an example and the spirit of the famous doctors as the driving force, learn their noble medical ethics and medical style, painstakingly study traditional Chinese medicine, and cultivate medical ethics and medical skills. In the words of Tang Zuxuan, the second master of traditional Chinese medicine, he has wisdom, benefits himself, and is healthy; Dedicate your wisdom to the whole society selflessly, everyone will benefit, and everyone will be healthy. This is the quality of a master.

Fan Zhongyan, who left the famous story "The Story of Yueyang Tower" in Dengzhou, Nanyang, has a famous saying: "If you are not a good look, you are a good doctor." "However, there is Bole, and then there is Maxima. Maxima is often there, but Bole is not often, and "worshipping famous teachers" and "collecting high apprentices" can be met but not sought.
"Worshipping a famous teacher" is a blessing for apprentices. In traditional Chinese medicine, there is a saying that "the master visits the apprentice for three years, and the apprentice visits the teacher for three years", and the studious person is looking for excellent teachers, and the excellent teachers are struggling to find excellent students. Learning from teachers and oral transmission was the original form of education in Chinese medicine. The teacher is famous, and it is the capital of a Chinese medicine practitioner to show off all his life.
Zhang Boli, a master of traditional Chinese medicine, studied under Ruan Shiyi, a master of traditional Chinese medicine. "I was deeply attracted by his demeanor", this is the impression that Zhang Boli wrote after meeting Ruan Shiyi for the first time.
The medical ethics and medical style he learned from his teacher were also passed on to his students. When he was the president of Tianjin University of Traditional Chinese Medicine, he successively trained nearly 300 postdoctoral fellows, doctors, masters and apprentices, most of whom have become the backbone of the Chinese medicine industry. For the inheritance of traditional Chinese medicine, he is a "human ladder" who is willing to contribute.

"Accepting high apprentices" is a happy event for famous teachers. At the ceremony of Zhao Wenxia's apprenticeship, there was a doctoral apprentice Li Jingtao who made a special trip from Shaanxi, he is the president of the Affiliated Hospital of Shaanxi University of Traditional Chinese Medicine, and said in his speech that in the future study with teachers, he will respect teachers, be diligent and inquisitive, discerning and prudent, and contribute to the inheritance and innovation of traditional Chinese medicine. After the apprenticeship ceremony, each apprentice follows the master for consultation and completes clinical practice how many times a year, so that the "master and apprentice" in the Chinese medicine industry become a real "alchemy furnace".
Zhang Zhongjing, a medical saint, is a well-known legend, from the age of ten began to study medicine under Zhang Bozu, whether it is going out to diagnose diseases, copying prescriptions and catching medicines, or going up the mountain to collect medicines, and going home to concoct them, Zhang Zhongjing is sensitive and studious, hard work. Zhang Bozu liked this student who was "not afraid of hardship or tiredness" and could endure hardships, and passed on to him the rich experience accumulated in his lifelong medical practice.
Tang Zuxuan, a "master of traditional Chinese medicine" from Henan, was 15 years old when he embarked on the road of studying medicine. The master was an old Chinese medicine doctor, and there was a shortage of food at that time, so in order to let the master be full, Tang Zuxuan gave his food quota to the master and cooked for the master every day. For more than ten years, he lived in the same room with his teacher and served left and right. Master's birth, maintenance, death and funeral are all handled by him, which can be described as the same as father and son, close relatives and filial piety, and it is a good story in the local area.

At 7 o'clock in the morning, in the bustling vegetable market, people in Dengzhou bought a few "vegetables" and went home, which was a medicine for themselves.
Dandelion root, white grass root, reed root, commonly known as "three root tea", boiled water at home to drink can dispel fire. This recipe, which began in the Eastern Han Dynasty and was taught to the people of Dengzhou by Zhang Zhongjing, the "medical saint", has been passed down from generation to generation by the locals and is still used today.
Some people say that Chinese medicine is a "metaphysics", and some people think that Chinese medicine is only suitable for health preservation and cannot accept serious diseases? In the face of the complex environment of "internal and external troubles", how can innovative talents in traditional Chinese medicine become talents quickly? How to do clinical practice without distractions?
On May 12, 2021, General Secretary Xi Jinping emphasized during his inspection and investigation in Nanyang, Henan Province, that it is necessary to do a good job in integrity, innovation, inheritance and development, actively promote scientific research and innovation of traditional Chinese medicine, pay attention to interpreting the principles of traditional Chinese medicine with modern science, promote the combination and promotion of traditional Chinese medicine and modern science, and promote the complementary and coordinated development of Chinese and Western medicine.
On February 27, 2024, the Henan Provincial Conference on the Construction of a Strong Province of Traditional Chinese Medicine was held in Zhengzhou to mobilize and deploy to promote the construction of a strong province of traditional Chinese medicine. Lou Yangsheng, Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee, emphasized that it is necessary to build a highland for scientific and technological innovation of traditional Chinese medicine, a highland for traditional Chinese medicine medical services, a highland for the development of traditional Chinese medicine industry, a highland for the gathering of traditional Chinese medicine talents, and a highland for the inheritance of traditional Chinese medicine culture.
To implement the strategy of strengthening the province of traditional Chinese medicine in Henan, talent is undoubtedly the "first resource" and "key variable". Fortunately, Henan's enthusiasm to promote the "key variables" has not changed, and the "mentor and apprentice" has a profound cultural accumulation in Henan, but at the same time, there are many problems that need to be solved urgently, such as whether young talents can grow into "masters"? Are there any shortcuts?

Stand on the shoulders of giants. The medical road is long, the growth of every master of traditional Chinese medicine, is not a gong and drum easily walked out, the cold window has been studying hard for more than 20 years, out of the school gate is just beginning, only learn from others, standing on the shoulders of giants, in order to pick the crown jewel. Wang Lingtai, an 84-year-old professor at Shuguang Hospital of Shanghai University of Traditional Chinese Medicine, has been engaged in clinical and research on liver diseases for more than 30 years. He sent a message to the current disciples to stand on the shoulders of giants, embrace AI intelligence, dare to innovate, and promote the combination and promotion of traditional Chinese medicine and modern science. It is not only necessary to do a good job in the integration of traditional Chinese medicine and Western medicine, but also to make the clinical experience of traditional Chinese medicine perfectly combined with digitalization and intelligence, and to integrate and intersect with other disciplines.
At present, some hospitals have used robots to identify patients' TCM constitutions. Artificial intelligence TCM prescription system, acupuncture robots, massage robots and other technologies and equipment with a sense of science and technology are increasingly appearing in hospital departments, scientific research institutes and enterprises, and a wave of digital and intelligent TCM is roaring.

Dare to let the "back waves" prevail. As the old saying goes, "The disciples of the church starve the master to death", this jargon is like a mantra between the master and the apprentice. It is undeniable that there are some apprentices who are mere formalities, and the meaning of the drunkard lies in the name of the master, and the "strange phenomenon" of "selling fame and fishing reputation" eventually appears to emphasize art and ignore morality, learn and understand, seriously ill and ignore people, and emphasize prescriptions and ignore methods. However, the combination of green and blue, and the common prosperity of peach and plum is the true meaning of the inheritance of master and apprentice.
As an industry leader in the field of life sciences, Shi Yigong, president of Westlake University, once shared the story of one of his students during the lecture. Student Chai Jijie is one year older than him, although he does not have the halo of 985 and 211 famous schools, but he can endure hardships and be willing to calm down to do research, and later after graduation, Chai Jijie has said many times that he is "better than the blue", Shi Yigong heard that after hearing it, it was called a heart blooming: "This is my student, how strong the tutor is, how strong the student is, it's as simple as that." "Disciples don't have to be inferior to teachers", Wang Lingtai often admonishes his disciples that whether it is clinical experience or public reputation, whether it is skills or medical ethics, they must be better than their masters, and real masters of Chinese medicine also hope that their apprentices will be "more promising".

Tell the story of Chinese medicine well. On the bank of the Wenliang River in Nanyang, Henan, the stone layer, the golden glazed tiles against the backdrop of the three strong characters of "Medical Shrine" commemorate the famous medical scientist Zhang Zhongjing of the Eastern Han Dynasty. It is engraved with the fighting spirit of human beings in the fight against natural diseases, and witnesses the development of traditional Chinese medicine, one of the treasures of traditional Chinese culture in the mainland.
General Secretary Xi Jinping emphasized that traditional Chinese medicine is a treasure of ancient Chinese science and the key to opening the treasure house of Chinese civilization.
From the legendary Shennong tasting herbs to Hua Tuo's earliest invention of anesthesia to perform surgery with anesthesia, from the acupuncture therapy of traditional Chinese medicine to the theoretical system of syndrome differentiation and treatment of traditional Chinese medicine founded by Zhang Zhongjing in the Eastern Han Dynasty, the method of using human pox vaccination to prevent smallpox that has been circulating among the people since the Song Dynasty to Li Shizhen's pharmacological masterpiece "Compendium of Materia Medica" in the Ming Dynasty...... Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) is a bridge, a link, and a good prescription, and should become an effective way to promote mutual understanding and cultural exchanges between China and foreign countries.

However, the culture of traditional Chinese medicine still faces cultural identity, institutional and economic barriers to the world. How to promote the "going out" of traditional Chinese medicine, we should not only start from culture and further explore the source of Chinese civilization, but also need to practice "internal skills" and tell the story of traditional Chinese medicine culture. Inheritance is not ancient, innovation is not detached. Jointly polish the cultural treasures of traditional Chinese medicine and contribute "Chinese prescriptions" to the world.
