The Discovery Driven Research Paradigm for Chinese Medicine
It is a national imperative to leverage the inherent advantages of Traditional Chinese Medicine(TCM)and propel China's life sciences towards innovative breakthroughs.However,fully tapping into these advantages and achieving such breakthroughs requires a deeper understanding of the underlying principles.Making it all the more pressing,we should continue to inherit the essence of TCM while pursuing innovations in the field,and interpreting its principles through the lens of modern science.On the basis of the fruitful achievements in the research of TCM since the founding of the People's Republic of China,the paper firstly inherit the essence of discovering the scientific basis of TCM,clarify the relationship between empirical evidence and rational deduction in TCM,and uncover its scientific facts;and secondly tries to elucidate the nuanced and adhere to innovation,apply modern science and technology to identify the unique and original advantages of TCM theory and efficacy,contribute to medicine and life sciences through TCM,promote innovative breakthroughs in life sciences,and address the"bottleneck"in biopharmaceuticals.Looking towards the future and drawing on successful examples,this paper aims to establish a discovery-driven new paradigm for TCM research that will serve Healthy China strategy,enrich the global medical and life science,and ultimately promote the building of a community with a shared health for mankind.
