Lin Yuan developed a strong interest in this old man. For a long time, the recognition mechanism prevailing in domestic traditional Chinese medicine institutions has been a copy of the Western system. Only after professional training in a school and then employment can the medical qualifications be recognized.
But the vast majority of Chinese medicine practitioners are rooted in the folk, and many of the unique skills of Chinese medicine are precisely in the hands of these people.
Take Lin Yuan for example. His traditional Chinese medicine skills are very high. This is due to his grandfather Lin Chunnuan's personal teaching. What he learned in medical school cannot be said to be of any help to his level, but it also has no qualitative impact.
Traditional Chinese medicine has taken a long detour in China. Especially during the late Qing Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty, Western medicine poured into China. Due to the long-term war, the advantages of Western medicine in surgery were undoubtedly revealed. Coupled with the changes in thinking, it was handed down in China.
All traditional things have been greatly questioned.
From the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine, many scholars believe that traditional Chinese medicine is a kind of dross and is not conducive to the healthy development of the nation.
For a time, voices of ostracizing or even exterminating traditional Chinese medicine were heard.
In the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China, some people even proposed the extinction of traditional Chinese medicine as a proposal for review.
Fortunately, Grandpa Taizu was far-sighted and felt that populism with such a long history should not be destroyed hastily.
In this way, traditional Chinese medicine slowly spread and developed in an extremely difficult environment.
Although traditional Chinese medicine is in such a dangerous living environment, its profound heritage and the integration with the Chinese people that are rooted in the national blood have prevented it from being eliminated by history, but has given it a new vitality.
The country has noticed this change and has made many adjustments to its policies. In the past, the qualification certificate for TCM doctors could only be issued by an institution designated by the state through examination. Now, you can also obtain the qualification certificate through the inheritance of influential traditional Chinese medicine.
I have to say that this is a huge progress, and it also illustrates the unique charm of traditional Chinese medicine from another level.
But in this case, some disputes also arise.
Within the entire industry of traditional Chinese medicine, there is an extremely fierce debate over whether traditional Chinese medicine should completely follow the traditional path.
You must know that many Chinese medicine doctors, especially old Chinese medicine doctors, have great respect for tradition. Even famous doctors such as Xie Zhikun and Gu Senquan who have official backgrounds are inclined to tradition. They believe that traditional Chinese medicine transmits oral teachings from heart to heart, and is prepared in accordance with ancient methods.
Medicines are the right way.
However, some new generation Chinese medicine practitioners are somewhat more open-minded and believe that the introduction of modernization into Chinese medicine is the last word for development.
For this reason, the new generation of traditional Chinese medicine even cited South Korea and Japan as examples.
The two countries that are most influenced by traditional Chinese medicine do best in terms of proprietary Chinese medicines around the world. Why? Just because they introduced traditional Chinese medicines into modern production and management mechanisms, they have a very large influence around the world.
This was originally a debate within the industry, but it caused a chain reaction around it.
Because some businesses have keenly seen the business opportunities in this, and it is very likely that they can get rich overnight by picking up an old prescription, so the debate in the industry has spread to the ideological field.
Times have developed. Should Chinese medicine keep up with the times? Should it go abroad and form a medical category that can compete with Western medicine around the world?
Lin Yuan read some posts and felt that the water here might be very deep. He quickly called Xie Zhikun.
"Hello, Mr. Xie, I want to ask you something. Did you receive the invitation to the recent seminar held by the Traditional Chinese Medicine Industry Association in Beijing?"
"Xiao Lin, have you received the invitation? Well, what should I say? Let's talk about me. I received the invitation, but I refused."
"Ah? Mr. Xie, you are highly respected in the field of traditional Chinese medicine. Why did you refuse such an industry discussion?"
Xie Zhikun did not answer Lin Yuan's question, but asked: "Xiao Lin, who informed you?"
"It was Minister Ji who called me."
"Oh, that's it, then it's hard to push. Xiaolin, Minister Ji personally called many people this time. Wang Chengxian and Gu Senquan basically all declined."
"Ah? Mr. Xie, what's going on?"
"Usually, the Chinese Medicine Association is just a non-governmental organization, relatively loose. It is a good meeting for everyone to meet and communicate. This time, because Chinese medicine has received the attention of state agencies, there are agencies to support the convening
, some people have called for traditional Chinese medicine to receive the same attention and status it deserves in China, just like Western medicine."
Lin Yuan understood why these national experts in traditional Chinese medicine declined such a meeting. It turned out to be such a background.
You must know that the demands of traditional Chinese medicine are correct, but the key point is that the current situation of traditional Chinese and Western medicine did not form this pattern in a day or two.
To calculate from the root, we have to extrapolate from the Republic of China to the present.
Western medicine dominates the world in Chinese medical treatment, while Chinese medicine can only rely on it, and it took a long time to develop.
To say that both Chinese and Western medicine should be given equal emphasis at this stage can only be an ideal. Western medicine currently controls all the major interests in the medical field, the vested interests of relevant stakeholders, and the resulting huge chain of interests that no one can shake.
of.
When it comes to this principle and interest, national players within the system such as Xie Zhikun, Gu Senquan and Wang Chengxian cannot take sides, because they enjoy the benefits within the system, but they are Chinese medicine practitioners. This is really unacceptable.
In fact, this conflict of interests is also a manifestation of the value of traditional Chinese medicine. If, like in the past, people are still learning about the concept of traditional Chinese medicine and it is feudal dross, this kind of interest appeal is completely a joke.
As people gradually realize the value of traditional Chinese medicine, this demand to prepare to compete with Western medicine is not a joke, but a legitimate interest demand.
It's no wonder that Ji Wanglou called Lin Yuan. Almost all the well-known Chinese medicine experts in the system are unwilling to take a trip into this muddy water. If there were no Chinese medicine masters like Lin Yuan involved, it would simply become a joke.
Lin Yuan smiled bitterly. This seemed to be a job that was valued by the leaders, but it was actually a trap that was neither too big nor too small.
There is no need for Gu Senquan and Wang Chengxian to make phone calls. Perhaps these people have already reached a tacit understanding and will not participate in such exchange meetings.
You must know that the identities of these people are very sensitive. Once they participate in making a statement, it will feel like an official statement. Let alone sit idly by and do nothing. If Lin Yuan knew in advance that this was a trap, Lin Yuan might also consider not participating.
The exchange meeting was held as scheduled, but most of the Chinese medicine practitioners who came were unknown to Lin Yuan. The only one he knew was Zhang Lianfei from the Zhang family.
Although Zhang Lianfei and Zhang Lianyu are brothers, they have very different personalities and are not arrogant in their behavior, with a bit of elegance.
When they met, Zhang Lianfei greeted Lin Yuan politely.
The Zhang family actually wants to avoid such an exchange meeting, but the Zhang family is very special. They are not only a family of traditional Chinese medicine, but also deal in traditional Chinese medicine materials. If they don't come to participate, it will be detrimental to the Zhang family's career.
Influenced.
Lin Yuan is also very polite. No matter what kind of troubles he has with Zhang Lianyu, the Zhang family is still worthy of praise. You can't regard all the Zhang family as enemies just because of Zhang Lianyu.
Both of them knew what the important issues discussed at the symposium were, so they both kept a low profile and hid in dark corners. It is estimated that no one would jump out of the limelight this time except the Chinese medicine practitioners in the opposition.
The official staff who organized the exchange meeting had a very good reputation. They were called seminar observers and were responsible for supervising the seminar. But anyone with a discerning eye knew that they were just idle staff from the Ministry of Health. They were sent here and were not even spies.
Above, it's just a decoration.
There are some things about Chinese people that even my own people can't stand. The supervisor sent by the Ministry of Health said a few impassioned words and then immediately hid aside. It was the Chinese medicine practitioners' turn to communicate with each other. The first thing they started was talking about qualifications.
On seniority.
Who should speak first and who should take the lead.
This scene is very reminiscent of Lu Xun's article commemorating Fan Ainong. A group of people are taking a train. There are only a few seats. Who must sit next to whom. They bow to each other and are harmonious. As a result, when the train starts, a group of people
They fell into each other.
Lin Yuan looked a little impatient and wanted to leave, but after all, this is the backbone of traditional Chinese medicine among the people. Lin Yuan's ideal is to promote traditional Chinese medicine. Leaving these people is like a flower leaving the soil.
Not surprisingly, Zhou Chuanting, whom Lin Yuan was already familiar with on the Internet, took the first place. Beside him, a man with a strong bookish aura caught Lin Yuan's attention.
This man has a fair complexion and long eyebrows. If he were not sitting in this position, anyone would think he is a scholar. He is definitely not an ordinary person to be so popular.
Lin Yuan touched Zhang Lianfei and said, "Hey, do you know the person next to the old man with the white beard?"
Zhang Lianfei glanced at him and said, "How could you not know him? He is the director of Zhouji Pharmaceutical Factory in Nanyun Province, and he is Zhou Yi, the eldest son of Mr. Zhou Chuanting. He has excellent medical skills and is highly valued by Mr. Zhou. Our Zhang family still has a relationship with them.
With business dealings, he deserves to sit in that position."
"Factory director? Is there still such a vulgar name now? Aren't they all general managers or chairman of the board now?"
"Hey, this is the old-fashioned thing about the old man. In his eyes, all the capital operations and other things now should be regarded as scourges. Those things from the founding period of the People's Republic of China are still practical."
Lin Yuan shook his head after hearing this. It seemed that Mr. Zhou was really not an ordinary old-fashioned man, and he was as good as Mr. Song.
At this moment, Zhou Chuanting cleared his throat and said: "Dear colleagues, if we all come together this year, I don't think there is any need to study medical matters. Everyone's opinions are very different. Let's talk about the current situation of our traditional Chinese medicine."
