Recently, the Beijing Traditional Chinese Medicine Bureau of China issued a draft for soliciting opinions from the Beijing Traditional Chinese Medicine Regulations, of which 36 stipulates that any organization or individual may be false or exaggerated to propagate Chinese medicine;, Harm the public interest of the society; it is not allowed to slander and slander Chinese medicine in any way or behavior.Article 54, violates the provisions of Article 36, paragraph 2 of these regulations, slander and slander Chinese medicine, provoke nourishment, disturb public order, and constitute a violation of public security management.If a crime is criminal, criminal responsibility is investigated in accordance with the law.For a while, it has attracted great attention from public opinion.
First of all, what is slander and slander?Do you think that Chinese medicine is invalid?It is believed that some drugs are toxic, which will cause damage to the liver and kidneys.Its definition category is quite vague.Once there is a suspicion of slander and slander, it may be considered illegal, even criminal acts, and management is quite strict.
Do not discuss the technical issues formulated by regulations.The issuance of the Chinese medicine regulations is to promote the development of traditional Chinese medicine, especially to deal with doubts and negatives from the Western medical community.The intervention of administrative power is the dispute between traditional Chinese and western medicine that belongs to the category of academic discussions.
In addition, the dispute between Chinese and Western medicine has mixed with some domestic ideological factors, especially in the situation where nationalism has risen, and it is also a phenomenon.
Coincidentally, Zhang Wenhong, a professor of Fudan University, who became an online celebrity due to the anti -crown disease epidemic, encouraged everyone to eat more eggs, milk and other foods during breakfast, eat less noodles, porridge, etc.;Is the Western food of milk better than traditional noodle porridge?
Eggs and milk are rich in protein. The rice noodles are mainly starch and less protein. Protein is the main source of substances such as antibody protein synthesized by the body with immune function, and the sunshine and other substances that maintain the infiltration of the body.Supplementing protein is the scientific common sense of maintaining the health of the body, and there is no so -called dispute over East and West culture.
Some public opinion believes that degradation of Chinese medicine is the idea of advocating Western culture and betrayal of national culture.This is not necessary to go online.It is extremely indispensable to introduce ideological disputes into scientific discussions.If China wants to be committed to scientific and technological innovation and overtaking, it should even improve the scientific literacy of the whole people, promote the spirit of scientific independence, and avoid mixing political factors.
The formulation of regulations also reflects that in the dispute between traditional Chinese and Western medicine, the unconfident and sensitivity of traditional Chinese medicine.Some people once said that Chinese medicine is no different from faith.As long as there is a place with Chinese culture, there is a soil where Chinese medicine survives.
In fact, the name of Chinese and Western medicine is not accurate.It is generally believed that it is more appropriate to refer to traditional medicine and modern medicine.Many countries and regions in the world have traditional medical models similar to Chinese medicine, and modern medicine models represented by evidence -based medicine cannot simply specify Western patents.
In the context of the rapid development of modern medicine, the situation of traditional medicine is indeed slightly embarrassing.The development of its discipline system tries to introduce the evaluation standards of modern science. It has both internal doubts and technical difficulties, so it encounters a certain bottleneck.
Objectively speaking, accepting the criteria for evaluation with evidence -based medicine is the only way for traditional medicine to move towards modernity.The classic drugs, prescriptions, and diagnosis and treatment methods are evaluated objectively and standardized to verify its safety and effectiveness. It not only helps the development of this discipline, but also a measure of responsible for maintaining the health of the public in the public.
However, in the evaluation system of whether to accept, accept, and how to implement a modern medicine, traditional medicine is still in the state of progress.
