University professor launches 10000 signatures to strongly urge banning of traditional Chinese medicine
This debate may stimulate more reflection and discussion in the academic world, and perhaps more people will come forward in the future to defend the reputation of TCM. Regardless, medicine is a complex and vast field that requires collaborative efforts from different schools of thought. Perhaps it is in this atmosphere of diverse integration that the future of medicine will shine even more brilliantly.
In this ever-changing university campus, a heated debate has quietly emerged, causing a stir. Zhang Gongyao, a professor at Central South University, has stirred up the academic world, sparking an intense controversy about the preservation or elimination of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM).
Zhang Gongyao, a distinguished professor at Central South University, speaks forcefully, directly addressing the weaknesses of TCM. He strongly advocates for the abolition of TCM, deeming it an outdated culture, and even considers it a deliberate deception created by failed ancient Chinese literati. The professor’s harsh criticism of TCM prompts one to uncover the story behind his remarks.
It is understood that Zhang Gongyao believes TCM originated late and is a culture lacking progress. He questions the origin of TCM, seemingly intending to dismiss this medical system that has been passed down for centuries. However, this viewpoint has sparked many opposing voices. Some colleagues in the medical field point out that TCM has a long and verified theoretical system with a rich history. Is all of this just Zhang Gongyao’s subjective judgment?
Even more astonishing is Zhang Gongyao’s questioning of the herbal therapy in TCM, claiming it to be harmful and useless. This has angered many TCM enthusiasts who argue that herbal therapy has a millennia-long history and has shown significant efficacy in treating various ailments. Perhaps Zhang Gongyao has not truly appreciated the wonders of TCM.
Zhang Gongyao had previously self-studied TCM and successfully treated people around him. This raises the question: why has he turned against TCM? Is it due to personal grievances, or does he perceive TCM differently from its authentic form?
In Zhang Gongyao’s criticism, Western medicine is elevated. He views Western medicine as advanced, while TCM is considered a fraudulent creation. This prompts the question: is the millennium-old wisdom of TCM merely a farce? Some supporters argue that Western and Chinese medicine each have their strengths and weaknesses and should not be simply judged as advanced or outdated. In modern medicine, the combination of Western and Chinese medicine has achieved many successful outcomes.
Zhang Gongyao’s views have undoubtedly sparked a public opinion storm, but some brave individuals have stepped forward to refute him. They point out that the positive role of TCM in practical treatment cannot be ignored. The theoretical system and herbal therapies of TCM have demonstrated unique effectiveness in many cases. Is all of this just an elaborate hoax?
Perhaps we need to objectively view this debate. Both Chinese and Western medicine have their merits and shortcomings. In this era of diversity, we should respect different medical viewpoints, allowing both Chinese and Western medicine to develop together and contribute to the health of humanity.
This debate may stimulate more reflection and discussion in the academic world, and perhaps more people will come forward in the future to defend the reputation of TCM. Regardless, medicine is a complex and vast field that requires collaborative efforts from different schools of thought. Perhaps it is in this atmosphere of diverse integration that the future of medicine will shine even more brilliantly.
