Abstract:
MAO Ze-dong's view on traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) can be divided into the scientific view on TCM, the development view on TCM and the future view on TCM. The core of MAO Ze-dong's view on TCM lies in its scientific nature. The basic content of MAO Ze-dong's development view on TCM includes unity of TCM and Western medicine (WM), advocating the multi-angle development of TCM from the height of Chinese national dignity, independence and self-confidence. MAO Ze-dong's future view on TCM is targeted at WM learning from TCM, combining TCM and WM and establishing new Chinese medicine. The contemporary enlightenment of MAO Ze-dong's view on TCM is to start from reforming the medical education system before establishing new Chinese medicine.
