China's excellent traditional culture has provided a profound source of soil and thought for the development of traditional Chinese medicine.

The expression of human culture forms the value chain of TCM culture. The humanities attribute is the biggest attribute of Chinese medicine. Only by fully recognizing the humanistic nature of TCM can we understand TCM deeply, so as to eliminate the misunderstanding of TCM.

Traditional culture is the foundation of culture, and sticking to the Chinese cultural position is to inherit Chinese cultural genes, which means to have a strong source of cultural confidence.

Through the research of traditional Chinese medicine culture gene, is not only able to tap into deep kernel of traditional Chinese medicine culture, revealing the cultural gene structure, function and inheritance of traditional Chinese medicine, and to explore the traditional Chinese medicine culture and the Chinese excellent traditional culture gene homology, homogeneity, analyzes the comparison of Chinese and western culture gene, conflict and financing, and the relationship between cultural genes and traditional culture of traditional Chinese medicine. This will help to strengthen the cultural confidence and promote the transmission of TCM cultural genes and the development of traditional Chinese medicine in the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine culture.

It is necessary to understand the cultural genes of TCM, how to inherit the gene of TCM culture, and how to promote the development of TCM with the power of culture.

Inherit the gene of TCM culture.

The genes of traditional Chinese medicine culture and Chinese excellent traditional culture have homology, homogeneity and complementarity.

Traditional Chinese medicine culture has profound cultural soil and enduring cultural charm. Of traditional Chinese medicine culture has its own language form, its own ways of thinking, as well as their own values, fundamentally speaking, is because of Chinese excellent traditional culture lasting self-restraint, or Chinese excellent traditional culture for the development of traditional Chinese medicine to provide the necessary nutrients. In particular, the philosophy, humanism, cultural function and medical ethics are all rooted in the fine soil of Chinese culture.

As part of Chinese traditional culture, Chinese medicine culture not only has the same commonness with Confucianism, Taoism and Buddhism, but also has different personality with Confucianism, Taoism and Buddhism. TCM culture development in different periods of history and Confucianism, Taoism and Buddhism culture has the interactive and complementary relationship, such as put forward the "Chinese medicine three rivers" and so on, which laid the foundation of Chinese traditional culture.

Chinese medicine in the process of its development, absorbing the philosophy, literature, mathematics, astronomy, geography, military and other discipline knowledge of nutrition, formed its own system of medical theory, at the same time, the Chinese excellent traditional culture into the blood, as integral a part of traditional culture. Thus, China's excellent traditional culture has provided a profound source of soil and thought for the development of traditional Chinese medicine, and it is the root of the longevity of TCM.

The expression of elephant thinking (like science) and humanistic culture form the basic elements of TCM culture gene.

The gene of Chinese medicine culture includes the gene of thinking mode and the expression of human culture, which together form the "double helix" structure of TCM culture gene. Like thinking is the thinking mode gene of Chinese medicine culture, which has the characteristics of image, integrity, fluidity and illogicality. The characteristic of Chinese medicine is the unique way of thinking in TCM. This mode of thinking is like a number of model thinking, and TCM is based on functional model to construct human life system. This mode of thinking has unique advantages in both physiological and pathological cognition, as well as the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of TCM. Traditional Chinese medicine is the representative of China like science with time as the standard, attaches great importance to the research object, mainly use imagery thinking method, this method in the process of recognizing things can YiJianYuFan, save the richness, integrity of the phenomenon. "Doctor, meaning also", image thinking is the most characteristic thinking method of traditional Chinese medicine.

The expression of human culture forms the value chain of TCM culture. The humanities attribute is the biggest attribute of Chinese medicine. Only by fully recognizing the humanistic nature of TCM can we understand TCM deeply, so as to eliminate the misunderstanding of TCM. Some experts also argue that the humanistic and scientific properties of Chinese medicine should be separated from the scientific ones, and then different studies will be conducted on the contents of different categories. In fact, the humanistic and scientific attributes of Chinese medicine culture are the connotations of TCM culture, which also constitute the basic elements of TCM culture genes.

Strong cultural confidence

TCM culture gene is the root of traditional Chinese medicine, and it has control, maintenance and guiding role in the inheritance of TCM theory. Chinese medicine is questioned about cultural confidence. In modern times, with the introduction of western learning, western cultural centralism began to spread in China. The perplexity and crisis encountered by traditional Chinese medicine is a medical science problem, which is essentially a cultural problem, namely, the problem of cultural confidence and cultural identity. Under the tide of globalization, the fundamental task of TCM cultural inheritance is to protect and disseminate the cultural genes of traditional Chinese medicine, and adhere to the expression form of TCM thinking mode and cultural gene. Genetic inheritance of traditional Chinese medicine culture is a system engineering, need social joint efforts, both to spread and carry forward Chinese excellent traditional culture in the whole society, the basis of the transmission of cultural gene of Chinese medicine, and to strengthen the professional students of colleges and universities of TCM outstanding traditional culture education, the core of cultural gene inheritance of traditional Chinese medicine, let the doctor of traditional Chinese medicine culture also want to "go out", at the same time of promoting the Chinese cultural soft power and influence, widen the channel of the culture of traditional Chinese medicine. Thus, only by inheriting the cultural genes of traditional Chinese medicine can we maintain the confidence of Chinese traditional culture.

We should stick to the important position of inheriting Chinese medicine culture -- traditional Chinese medicine colleges and universities.

It is of great importance to pay attention to modern education background and to train high-quality TCM culture to inherit and innovate talents. Inheriting the excellent traditional culture of China and inheriting the gene of traditional Chinese medicine, the root of retaining traditional Chinese medicine is the responsibility of education. Due to affected by the biomedical model, modern Chinese medicine education ignore the cultural education of traditional Chinese medicine, lead to cultivate students of traditional Chinese medicine of traditional Chinese medicine culture and thinking ability is not strong, the cultural quality of traditional Chinese medicine of traditional Chinese medicine is not enough. Education is of great significance in TCM culture: the use of Chinese medicine culture to carry out the patriotic education can enhance the national pride of Chinese medicine students and the belief of developing traditional Chinese medicine; Using the "benevolence" thought of traditional Chinese medicine culture to cultivate the noble work ethic of Chinese medical college students; To use the unique thinking mode of Chinese medicine culture, to help the college students to establish a solid professional thought.

Strengthening the cultural education of traditional Chinese medicine, the first to set up the "humane, our dedicated, humanity culture of traditional Chinese medicine education concept, cultivate a" kindheartedness heart, something can be, trip to humanity "the cultural heritage of traditional Chinese medicine the innovative talents with high quality. Second, courses in traditional Chinese medicine culture series, the formation of ideological and political education, the humanities quality education, culture and education of traditional Chinese medicine, medical humanities education, "four prominent cultural characteristics of traditional Chinese medicine, integrated" model of humanistic education. Finally, in order to literacy, through creating a strong culture of traditional Chinese medicine campus cultural atmosphere, organize rich and colorful culture of traditional Chinese medicine practice, internalizing students of traditional Chinese medicine of traditional Chinese medicine culture idea into cultural genes, into its behavior.

Medical science can only open up the future by not forgetting the original. Only by inheriting it can we innovate. Traditional Chinese medicine as the treasure of ancient Chinese science, embodies the profound philosophical wisdom and the health preservation concept and practice of the Chinese nation for thousands of years of experience, medical should go where, can learn wisdom from medicine, find inspiration from the TCM culture genes. Based on this, we should not only carry forward up rivers poor source of spirit, explore and trace the essence of the TCM culture gene, attach importance to "cure not ill", focus on community health, cultural advantage of traditional Chinese medicine to overcome the predicament of the development of modern medicine, guide medicine development direction.

Absorbing different high quality culture to let Chinese medicine culture "go out"

Facing a tidal wave of globalization, facing the impact of modern medicine, traditional Chinese medicine to "return" on the one hand, keep their own features to maintain its subjectivity, also want to open the "new" at the same time, study and draw lessons from and use of modern science and technology, especially with the aid of modern medicine to enrich and develop themselves. Keep the characteristics of traditional Chinese medicine of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) is to keep constant, the transmission of cultural gene of study and draw lessons from modern science and technology, the focus is on through the optimization of traditional Chinese and western cultural gene, restructuring to promote the modernization of traditional Chinese medicine. Among them, the traditional Chinese medicine culture is a genetic legacy of traditional Chinese and western culture for optimizing the restructuring of genes, and culture is not lost in the process of modernization of traditional Chinese medicine, under the background of globalization don't lose the important guarantee of self.

Chinese and western medicine is rooted in different cultural traditions and forms different medical cultural genes. The genetic differences between Chinese and western medicine are mainly manifested in four aspects:

First, in the aspect of epistemology, traditional Chinese medicine is taken as the elephant, and the western medicine entity seeks the original.

Second, in the aspect of time and space, traditional Chinese medicine focuses on the time characteristics of life, and western medicine focuses on the spatial characteristics of human body.

The third is the way of thinking, TCM attaches importance to image thinking and western medicine attaches importance to abstract thinking.

Four is the value aspect, the Chinese medicine pursues the good, the western medicine advocates the truth.

Culture of traditional Chinese medicine for its one of the most representative of Chinese culture and cultural value and safeguard people's health health care practical value, the most likely to make the Chinese nation culture brand, through national culture brand output is most likely to become "the key to the treasure-house of Chinese civilization". The international spread of TCM culture, involving the translation of traditional Chinese medicine, Chinese medicine culture dissemination strategy, significance, connotation, path and strategy, etc., the results for the Chinese culture and promote Chinese cultural soft power of "going out" research provides research paradigm.

Despite the doctor of traditional Chinese medicine culture has spread to the world more than 180 countries and regions, has accumulated a large number of successful experience, but due to the lack of cultural differences, cultural diffusion, to a certain extent, affects the Chinese medicine to world. In order to get the wide recognition of the world society, Chinese medicine culture must keep its characteristics and the way of connecting with the world. This requires efforts from three areas:

The first is to establish the self-confidence of TCM culture, strengthen the protection of the unique cultural genes and clinical experience and skills of TCM, so as to leave the living species bearing the traditional Chinese medicine culture in the world medical history.

The second is to express the special things in Chinese medicine culture more clearly in modern language, making it easy to popularize and communicate, and become universal information and consensus.

Third, in the process of integrating with the foreign medical culture, the new frontier of Chinese medicine culture is constantly explored, and it is an initiative to explore the universal value of Chinese medicine culture in the global culture. In this way, we can realize the historical situation of the true meaning of TCM.

Cultural gene is the basic factor of cultural development and inheritance, which is characterized by sociality, directivity, multidimensionality, selectivity, imformability and variability. Under the background of new era, the Chinese excellent traditional culture, including traditional Chinese medicine culture thought, to better continue, obtain new vitality, must adapt to changing times and looking forward, in its own characteristics and the strong 'at the same time, beyond its limit, discard the inappropriate content, correct development direction with scientific theory, with an open mind absorb the outstanding civilization achievements. Only a time-varying ezer and into the heart of the world, has a lofty realm, a sacred mission, the biggest responsibility, open field of vision and broad mind, to make the Chinese medicine to the world become a reality.
