At this party congress, party representative Liu Qingquan, deputy secretary of the party committee and president of the Beijing Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine Affiliated to Capital Medical University, was a guest in the Beijing Youth Daily live broadcast room to talk about the latest trends in the inheritance, innovation and development of traditional Chinese medicine. Liu Qingquan said that in the fight against the COVID-19 epidemic, traditional Chinese medicine has played a huge role, and our country has established a barrier of traditional Chinese medicine to prevent and treat COVID-19. At the same time, the integration of traditional Chinese and Western medicine is very important for the development of traditional Chinese medicine. Traditional Chinese medicine must not only be integrated with modern medicine, but also integrated with other disciplines to continue to develop.
The old, middle-aged and young people pass on traditional Chinese medicine technology through "passing on and guiding"
Carry out innovative research on traditional Chinese medicine in keeping with the times
When it comes to the inheritance of traditional Chinese medicine, in recent years, Beijing Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine has been carrying out a number of actions. Liu Qingquan introduced that as the first municipal hospital of traditional Chinese medicine in Beijing, Beijing Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine has had a large number of experienced traditional Chinese medicine doctors for more than 60 years, which have been passed down from generation to generation and formed its own medical school. The hospital has formed a good tradition of "teaching, helping and guiding". The chief expert of the young and middle-aged group leads the team to pass on the traditional Chinese medicine technology of the older generation. At the same time, it fully trains young people and encourages young people through the "Xinglin Excellent Talents" program. People carry out innovative research in traditional Chinese medicine.
"Innovation in traditional Chinese medicine must also keep pace with the times, and give traditional Chinese medicine the wings of modern technology." Liu Qingquan said that currently, the hospital is carrying out a number of innovative research and promoting the transformation of results. For example, experts in the hospital are continuing to improve some traditional Chinese medicine external plasters. Traditional plasters may be darker in color and may affect local skin after being applied. Currently, relevant experts in the hospital are using some modern new technologies to improve traditional plasters and make them sticky. It is not black, while maintaining the efficacy of the medicine, and it is convenient for patients to use and carry. There are also experts in the hospital specializing in fire needle technology. By combining it with materials science, they have conducted in-depth research on fire needle technology and promoted the transformation of its results. This has been carried out for five or six years.
The integration of traditional Chinese and Western medicine is the future trend.
Traditional Chinese medicine should also be integrated with other disciplines.
Regarding the integration of traditional Chinese and Western medicine, Liu Qingquan believes that this is very important for the development of traditional Chinese medicine and may form a new medicine in the future. “Traditional Chinese medicine and Western medicine are two types of science formed under different cultural backgrounds. They are like two slopes of a mountain, one shady slope and one sunny slope. What you see when you stand in two different directions is different. And when both people reach the top of medicine, they will find that they are talking about the same thing. Chinese medicine may be better than Western medicine in terms of systematic understanding of the overall picture, and Western medicine may be better than Chinese medicine in handling details. After the integration of the two, it will definitely form a discipline that is higher than traditional Chinese medicine and classical Western medicine. Only in China has this kind of traditional Chinese medicine foundation. With the development of medicine, Chinese medicine and Western medicine will definitely move towards integration in the future.”
Liu Qingquan also believes that traditional Chinese medicine should not only be integrated with modern medicine, but also organically integrated with other disciplines, such as physics, chemistry, materials science, etc., which is of great significance to the modernization process of traditional Chinese medicine. Traditional Chinese medicine is ancient, but it must also be good at absorbing modern technology, learning from others' strengths, and constantly improving itself.
Hosts 4 district hospitals in this city
Focuses on training village doctors’ professional capabilities
In recent years, many people have discovered that there are more and more traditional Chinese medicine services at their doorsteps, and they have a stronger sense of gain. Beijing Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine is also continuing to use the method of "teaching people to fish" to deliver superb medical technology to the grassroots and to the people. Liu Qingquan revealed that at present, Beijing Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine hosts district-affiliated hospitals in four districts: Pinggu District, Yanqing District, Shunyi District, and Huairou District, helping to improve the level of traditional Chinese medicine diagnosis and treatment services, while allowing Beijing Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine to The technical and academic capabilities of these district hospitals benefit more people.“In this process, we have explored a four-in-one model of city, district, town, and village, so that people can have doctors from Beijing Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine and doctors from managed hospitals help them solve their problems locally without leaving the village. Some patients with serious conditions and complex conditions can even be directly referred to Beijing Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine.
In addition, the medical services of Beijing Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine are also continuing to radiate outwards, including the Tianjin and Hebei regions, and even Yunnan, Guizhou and other places. Experts from the Beijing Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine are providing technology. Instead of sending experts directly to treat people at the grassroots level, they have taken a different approach: “We are helping some grassroots areas to train village doctors, focusing on training their specialist capabilities. For example, some village doctors specialize in pediatrics, some in gynecology, and some in digestion. In this way, a small system can be formed in the region to automatically form a triage system to cover the various medical needs of the people as much as possible. This is also the idea of strengthening grassroots and building mechanisms proposed in the national medical reform, and we are also exploring it. " Liu Qingquan said.
my country has established a barrier of traditional Chinese medicine prevention and treatment against new coronavirus
Combined treatment of traditional Chinese and Western medicine is more effective

Liu Qingquan gave an example. For example, for the vast majority of mild patients and asymptomatic patients, some traditional Chinese medicine may be used to improve symptoms. The condition can improve quickly, shorten the lockdown period, and speed up the recovery and return of infected people to society. For some ordinary patients, For those who are more seriously ill, under the treatment of traditional Chinese medicine, the chance of their condition becoming serious will be greatly reduced. When fighting infectious diseases, what we are most afraid of is the increase in severe cases, and the second is the fear of death of the patients. For the above-mentioned patients, traditional Chinese medicine can be used to block them. , not getting serious, which is the key to reducing severe illness and mortality.
Liu Qingquan said that Western medicine may have great advantages in life support for severe and critically ill patients. However, the combination of traditional Chinese and Western medicine is more effective. To be effective, traditional Chinese medicine also has many advantages in basic treatment. In fact, it is the integration and development of traditional Chinese and Western medicine.
