Chinese Medicine Liberation: Starter “The Liberation of Chinese Medicine After the establishment of the People’s Republic of China, under the leadership of the brilliant leader chairman Mao, the three grand health policies were put forth: Chinese and Western medicine must unite; prevention is the focus; and gearing towards workers, peasants and soldiers. Chinese medicine advanced studies schools and specialty advanced classes were established. These remolded Chinese medicine and cultivated Chinese medicine. Other Chinese medicine research organizations were also established. They researched Chinese medicine and, at last, Chinese medicine could free itself. It stripped itself from the feudal smelting and from the capitalist shackles. It strode towards the great path of a scientific new China, a scientific medicine.” 1 1 Beijing Chinese Medicine (periodical), 1952 June 15th (1 st volume 3 rd publication) http://www.chineseclassics.org/liberation.html 4
Chinese Medicine Liberation: Starter To the Chinese medicine community Yaron: The following three articles are not included in Chinese Medicine Liberation: Inner Documents. We have created this free PDF to circulate throughout the TCM community, to allow each and every practitioner to contemplate the beginning of TCM in the 20 th century. From the time of the Republic and throughout the early communist decades, much took place that transformed Chinese medicine. The first shakedown of Chinese medicine begins here. I hope we can all contemplate it together. Nearly one thousand more pages of articles, excerpts and debates are included in our book and we invite you to join us in the process of Chinese medicine liberation in the 21st century. http://www.chineseclassics.org/liberation.html A word to the authority February 1937 by The Editor Compilation of Discussions about Chinese Medical Education 中醫教育討論集 Yaron: The following three articles date from early 1937. By this stage, Chinese medicine had suffered decades of uncertainty, abolition attempts, contempt, ridicule and exclusion. In 1936, Chinese medicine finally and for the first time in the 20 th century had gained legal status. Practitioners were delighted—but it came at what cost? These articles allow us a short glimpse into the transformation and pressure that Chinese medicine practitioners faced at that time. Pages 464–473 In the Third Plenary Session, 53 commissaries including Jiao Yitang 焦易堂 have suggested “the Ministry of Education to integrate Chinese medicine into the education system so that Native medicine schools can be built under legal regulations.” Besides Jiao 焦 and Li Zonghuang 李宗黄 , 37 other commissaries have also put forward a bill calling for equality between Chinese and Western medicine doctors. Not only are Chinese medicine doctors and pharmacists thrilled to hear about these but also the general public, who is concerned about the development of Chinese medicine, is excited too. We hope that the authority will not let us down or let the efforts of the commissaries go in vain. I have checked the resolution of the two bills. The former was sent to the Central Political Committee “for further discussion” and the latter “for their reference”. It is another matter how http://www.chineseclassics.org/liberation.html 5
