The Research On The "Scientific Chinese Medicine" Movement During The Republic Of China

Starting from the social and cultural background of modern China,taking the academic movement of "scientization of traditional Chinese medicine" in the period of the Republic of China as the main line,and taking the relevant papers of traditional Chinese medicine published in the period of the Republic of China as the research object,this paper,on the basis of classification,extraction,summary and summary,combined with bibliography,philology,history and other research methods,makes an in-depth study of the scientific movement of traditional Chinese medicine,and discusses the target direction of the future development of traditional Chinese medicine research.The full text is divided into three parts:The first part explains the great impact of the introduction of modern western science on China’s social structure,economy,ideology and culture,as well as the impact on China’s medical pattern.In the face of "the great change that has not happened in three thousand years",Chinese people gradually accepted the reality that their skills are inferior to those of others,and began to try to learn advanced scientific knowledge from the West.In this process,some scholars gradually lost their confidence in national culture,and the foreign mentality replaced the arrogance and pride of "China".The imported "science" occupied the highland of ideology,and then a trend of "overall westernization" emerged,and the old learning became useless talk.Traditional Chinese medicine is on the verge of abolishment,and improvement and scientization have become the consensus for the preservation and development of traditional Chinese medicine.The second part reveals the essence and connotation of the movement of "scientific Chinese medicine" in the Republic of China by discussing the academic opinions and ideological tendencies of important figures in the process of the debate on "scientific Chinese medicine".While denying and criticizing traditional Chinese medicine,some celebrities in the social and cultural circles and returning elites admit that traditional Chinese medicine does have its effects.They believe that traditional Chinese medicine cannot explain the "healing principle" and that traditional Chinese medicine needs to be scientific,but the implementation path advocated is different.Influenced by the "refined concept" of the West,some people in the field of traditional Chinese medicine believe that the backward formulation and improper processing of traditional Chinese medicine are the direct reasons for the decline of the traditional Chinese medicine industry.Therefore,the plan of "improving traditional Chinese medicine" and refining "scientific traditional Chinese medicine" is put forward to try to make traditional Chinese medicine more "modern" and "scientific" by refining and refining,so as to save the traditional Chinese medicine industry.Representative figures include Shi Jiesheng,Lu Jihan,Gu Zijing,etc.In the view of some people in the field of traditional Chinese medicine,the efficacy of traditional Chinese medicine is not inferior to that of western medicine,and the theory of drug properties has its own characteristics and advantages,so traditional Chinese medicine does not need to be "scientific".Zeng Juesau pointed out that "the scientization of traditional Chinese medicine" is the "most toxic conspiracy" of abolishing the school of traditional Chinese medicine.This action is no different from "leaving the axe and the jin after the craftsman,leaving the loom after the weaver".Its purpose is to "abolish traditional Chinese medicine" and "eliminate traditional Chinese medicine".The third part,taking the pharmaceutical groups,TCM schools,medical newspapers,and TCM research institutions established during this period as the main line,describes the specific development of the "scientific Chinese medicine" movement during the Republic of China.For the purpose of "studying academic and improving medicine" "promoting the pharmaceutical cause of the motherland",and "reviving the inherent health spirit of the Chinese nation",pharmaceutical groups such as the Chinese Pharmaceutical Association,the Chinese Medical Research Association,and the Chinese and Western Medical Research Society have been established successively;In order to fill the talent gap after the rise of pharmaceutical research,Chinese medicine schools in the form of workshops have been established in Nanjing and Beijing respectively,actively exploring and trying the educational model of Chinese medicine.At the same time,in order to share the research achievements of traditional Chinese medicine,exchange the research experience of traditional Chinese medicine,and publicize the "scientific" traditional Chinese medicine,the Chinese and Western medicine circles have established pharmaceutical newspapers and periodicals such as "Scientific Chinese Medicine","Chinese Medicine News","Pharmaceutical Life",and "Chinese Medicine News" as carriers and platforms.In addition,research institutions such as the Department of Pharmacology of Peking Union Medical College,the Institute of Physiology of the National Peiping Research Institute,the Institute of Medicine of the National Peiping Research Institute,and the Chinese Institute of Special Drugs have been established to carry out further pharmaceutical research.Conclusion: The development of the "scientific Chinese medicine" movement in the Republic of China was influenced by many factors such as society,economy,culture,science and technology at that time.Under the influence of many factors,new changes have taken place in the study of traditional Chinese medicine.Chinese and western medicine scholars have conducted in-depth and multi-angle research on traditional Chinese medicine,laying a foundation for the establishment of such branches of traditional Chinese medicine as pharmacognosy,traditional Chinese medicine chemistry,traditional Chinese medicine pharmacology and so on.The drugs produced meet the needs of the society in a specific period to a certain extent,and make a great contribution to reducing economic losses.Although brilliant achievements were made in this process,there were also voices of doubt at that time.
