Source: on March 22-25, 2016, the Boao Forum for Asia annual meeting 2016 was held in Boao, Hainan Province, China Traditional Chinese medicine once again "speaks" to Boao Zhang Boli, academician of the Chinese Academy of engineering, President of the Chinese Academy of traditional Chinese medicine and President of Tianjin University of traditional Chinese medicine, said at the sub Forum on "scientific and technological innovation: boosting the internationalization of traditional Chinese medicine" on the afternoon of 23rd that traditional Chinese medicine is the great creation of the Chinese nation and the key to opening the treasure house of Chinese civilization But it is not closed It should keep pace with the times and develop constantly In order to better serve the world's people's health, it is necessary to practice "internal skill", increase scientific and technological innovation, make its "wings" harder, and formulate relevant standards to standardize and promote the international development of traditional Chinese medicine In recent years, with the advent of aging society, the disease spectrum of Chinese people has also changed, and the prevalence of chronic non infectious diseases such as ischemic heart disease, stroke, tumor and other diseases has increased significantly "While these diseases bring sufferings to patients, they also increase medical expenses and form a vicious circle." Zhang Boli said, "the purpose of medicine should be to discover and develop people's self-health ability, which should be changed from" treating diseases "to" preventing diseases " Traditional Chinese medicine has always advocated treating diseases before they become ill, which conforms to the concept and direction of the development of modern medicine, and has been widely respected and recognized by the society." "But in order to go to the world and be accepted by the people of the world, we need to strengthen scientific and technological innovation and improve the technical content of traditional Chinese medicine." Said Zhang Boli In recent years, as the State Council and relevant ministries and commissions have repeatedly issued documents to promote the "going out" of traditional Chinese medicine, traditional Chinese medicine has spread to more than 170 countries and regions in the world, and signed nearly 100 intergovernmental agreements with more than 70 countries containing traditional Chinese medicine "China has established more than 10 centers of traditional Chinese medicine abroad, and another 10 will be established this year to become a base for overseas development of traditional Chinese medicine," Zhang said If we want to continue to deepen the internationalization of traditional Chinese medicine, we need to use scientific and technological means to present the efficacy of traditional Chinese medicine We need to help traditional Chinese medicine tell "stories" and tell the people of the world why and how it works " In 2015, Tu Youyou, a Chinese scientist, won the 2015 Nobel Prize in physiology or medicine for her research results on artemisinin "This award is awarded to the achievement of combining the experience, wisdom and Inspiration of traditional Chinese medicine with modern science Tu youyou discovered artemisinin and made great contribution to human health, which is really worthy of his name," said Zhang Boli Traditional Chinese medicine has accumulated for thousands of years, which can be said to be a "treasure house not yet fully developed" It needs to be explored and improved with science and technology " In addition, Zhang Boli stressed that "the internationalization of traditional Chinese medicine still needs to establish relevant standards as soon as possible Now a number of standards in China have been widely recognized and applied in the world, such as the education standard of traditional Chinese medicine has been 50 Six countries have adopted and now have completed the compilation of Chinese textbooks for traditional Chinese medicine, which are commonly used in the world This year, the compilation of English will be carried out, and the editorial board has been established At the same time, some quality standards of traditional Chinese medicine have also been internationally recognized For example, 27 quality standards of 9 varieties of Salvia miltiorrhiza have been officially adopted by USP, and 99 varieties of traditional Chinese medicine are being reviewed and approved by USP China is in the process of reaching an agreement with the EU to jointly draft a monograph on this draft, which will also provide useful support for the entry of traditional Chinese medicine into the EU market " Recently, medical institutions in Zhejiang Province announced the source of 58 drug varieties in
