Almost a century, modern medicine in China got rapid development, has become the mainstream. And how to treat and development of traditional Chinese medicine has been constantly debate. I think the correct understanding and treatment of traditional Chinese medicine is not only related to the development of Chinese medicine and the people's health, but also related to our country to carry forward the excellent traditional culture. After thousands of years of traditional Chinese medicine and famous, is a pearl of human civilization, if in recent generations after death, we are responsible to history.

Traditional Chinese medicine and modern medicine belong to two completely different culture and philosophy. Indeed in many aspects of traditional Chinese medicine is not in conformity with the characteristics of modern science, but a real modern science is only 500 years of history, doesn't mean all the human wisdom, and it is still in error correction and developing unceasingly, does not conform to the modern science doesn't mean is wrong. Says from the culture, traditional Chinese and western medicine is not good. Modern medicine and traditional Chinese medicine should be and, mutual promotion and common development.

Chinese medicine should have confidence, can't self dwarf. After the founding of the People's Republic of China government has never been vigorously support the development of Chinese medicine, to every county has special hospital, to relieve pain, the broad masses of Chinese medicine in the protection of the people's health plays an important role. In today's world, as it were, no one country can keep our national traditional medicine like Chinese so well. Chinese medicine today is not enough good, the main responsibility is not in the development of modern medicine, is not in some people's opposition, but in the Chinese medicine profession oneself not to stick to their precious wealth and tradition as well. If doctors don't believe in traditional Chinese medicine, the effect of TCM doctor to see a doctor if now than their predecessors, if traditional Chinese medical treatment mainly by modern medicine, if even a problem, inheritance and the development and talk about what? No one can defeat of traditional Chinese medicine, only oneself can beat of traditional Chinese medicine.

Traditional Chinese medicine can not reject modern science. In today's world, anything to accept the baptism of modernization. Chinese medicine can't complacent, using modern scientific methods, confirm the exact curative effect, reveal the action principle, to its dregs, take its essence, only in this way can make real.

On the other hand, I think the modern medical profession need to modest, want to see the limitations of modern science and medicine, the current level of understanding of the human body and can dissolve the pain is just a drop in the bucket. People can't believe in traditional Chinese medicine, but if you want to deny and against traditional Chinese medicine, it is best to go first to understand traditional Chinese medicine. This is the scientific and rational attitude.

How traditional Chinese medicine for the current development, where is the bottleneck of the development of, how to get rid of the old unreasonable management system and mechanism, there have been a lot of good ideas and practices. I added some concrete Suggestions to innovate and breakthrough.

First, encourage the development of private clinic of TCM. For the government to the aptitude, market access, administrative examination and approval, operation fee, yinpian processing to loosen price system, give support in terms of money, place, etc, TCM doctor out set up clinics encouraged within the system. More individual Chinese medicine clinic to open out, not only convenient for people to see the doctor, and conducive to stimulate consumption, in Chinese colleges and universities graduate employment.

Second, build a batch of demonstration hospital. In the demonstration hospital, stick to \"return to center of traditional Chinese medicine\", only to see the doctor of traditional Chinese medicine, western medicine. The hospital will not, of course, were, for all kinds of patients but can keep the characteristics of traditional Chinese medicine, believe that will be welcomed by patients who really believe in traditional Chinese medicine and embraced. If for some kind of disease do have very good curative effect, believe that can attract more and more patients, can do very good. In this hospital, check without large modern medical equipment, reduce the expenses for medicine, at the same time a big increase in service fees, not only can relieve patients' economic burden, the hospital also can get enough operating income. More importantly, if it do a good job in the hospital, can fully reveal the effectiveness of traditional Chinese medicine, traditional Chinese medicine to improve social identity, promote the inheritance and development of traditional Chinese medicine. Such a demonstration of Chinese medicine can only do a few, gain experience, gradually expand.

Third, strengthen the third party supervision over the quality of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM). The current quality of traditional Chinese medicine very worrying, has become one of the bottlenecks of development of Chinese medicine. To solve this problem, cannot be achieved overnight, need comprehensive study, but you can start from the supervision. Whether natural plant medicinal materials or proprietary Chinese medicine, its quality should be the third party to inspection, the supervision by the third party, this is the direction of the reform, also can do it.

Fourth, focus on to complete a number of traditional Chinese medicine research. For example to determine clinical curative effect of several kinds of typical traditional Chinese medicine treatment, to establish the quality control of Chinese medicines, medicinal herbs and compound method, revealed the biological essence of channels and collaterals, and so on, set the country, organization, interdisciplinary research breakthroughs made in key areas. In addition, there are many ancient and modern Chinese medicine books scatter in civil and abroad, should organize books collection and sorting system.
