Chinese medicine culture is an important part of China's outstanding traditional culture, and Chinese medicine culture is the foundation and soul of the Chinese medicine industry.

General Secretary Xi Jinping pointed out that "Chinese medicine contains the health and wellness concepts and practical experience of the Chinese nation for thousands of years, and is a great creation of the Chinese nation and a treasure of ancient Chinese science." The culture of Chinese medicine includes the concepts of unity of heaven and man, conformity to the four seasons, balance of form and spirit, and balance of yin and yang, and is an important part of the excellent traditional Chinese culture. It can be said that the culture of Chinese medicine has long been integrated into the bloodline of the Chinese people, into the people's diet and living, and make great contributions to the prosperity of the Chinese nation.

To revitalize and develop Chinese medicine, it is necessary to trace the origin, respect the facts, tell the story of Chinese medicine, disseminate the culture of Chinese medicine, demonstrate the cultural charm of Chinese medicine, and guide people to correctly understand the value and contribution of Chinese medicine.

To strengthen the dissemination of Chinese medicine culture, it is necessary to grasp the psychology of the people and the laws of dissemination, and to display Chinese medicine in a form favored by the masses, so as to increase the interest of Chinese medicine culture and make it deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. For example, the Tang Dynasty poet Wang Wei wrote in the poem On September 9 in Memories of Shandong Brothers, "I miss the brothers recently when they climbed high and looked away on the mountain , they inserted all the cornelian cherry on their heads but only I was missing." Cornelian cherry is a Chinese medicine, is it Cornus or Euodia rutaecarpa ? According to the description in the poem, September is already autumn and the weather is cold. Cornus is a warm herb, suitable for stomach cold, spleen and stomach cold and other diseases. Euodia rutaecarpa, on the other hand, is a deficiency tonic, mainly used to tonify the liver, kidney, essence and blood, and is used for conditions such as deficiency of essence and blood. From this, it is inferred that the cornelian cherry here refers to Cornus. If such content is implanted in TV programs, online games, and knowledge contests, it will easily inspire people to learn Chinese medicine. For example, the skillful combination of Chinese medicine culture with pop music has made many young people interested in Chinese medicine.

To strengthen the dissemination of Chinese medicine culture, it is necessary to explore the "treasure trove" of Chinese medicine culture classics and apply Chinese medicine culture to daily life. Chinese medicine is not an abstract theory or concept, but originates from rich clinical and life practices. For example, the Yellow Emperor's Classic of Internal Medicine says, "Eat and drink in moderation, live and work in a regular manner, and do not overwork, so that you can maintain your vitality, enjoy your life, and live to be 100 years old." The ancient way of living a long and healthy life includes the concepts of unity of heaven and man, conformity to nature, and peace of mind. This is corroborated by modern medicine, which advocates "reasonable diet, moderate exercise, abstinence from smoking and alcohol, and psychological balance". From this, we can see that the culture of Chinese medicine is profound, and contains a high degree of life wisdom, which is a precious legacy left by the ancestors of the Chinese nation to future generations. Learning and utilizing the classics of Chinese medicine culture is of great significance to improving the health of all people.

Strengthening the dissemination of the culture of Chinese medicine should start with children by continuing to carry out education on the culture of Chinese medicine in primary and secondary schools, promoting the entry of the culture of Chinese medicine into schools, and allowing the culture of Chinese medicine to take root in the minds of young people. For example, our country has organized the preparation of the Chinese Medicine Culture Reader for Primary and Secondary School Students, aiming to enable primary and secondary school students to form a correct, objective and scientific cognition of Chinese medicine culture under the influence of Chinese medicine thinking such as the holistic conception, the ruler and ministers' auxiliaries, the discriminative governance, the yin and yang and the five elements, and the homology of medicines and food, so that they can form good habits of life and enhance the confidence of the national culture, and take up the responsibility of passing on the development of the culture of Chinese medicine and make the culture of Chinese medicine continue to grow and flourish.

General Secretary Xi Jinping has emphasized that "Chinese medicine, a valuable wealth left to us by our ancestors, should be effectively inherited, developed and utilized." The culture of Chinese medicine is profound, is the treasure of Chinese civilization, and unites the vast wisdom of the Chinese nation. We should consciously spread the culture of Chinese medicine, enhance national confidence and cultural confidence, and create a favorable environment for promoting the development of Chinese medicine inheritance and innovation.

 With the rapid economic and social development of China and the improvement of the health consciousness of the entire population, the construction of Chinese medicine culture has ushered in major opportunities and achieved significant results. During the 11th Five-Year Plan period, the construction of Chinese medicine culture was included in the key tasks of Chinese medicine work for the first time and developed rapidly, and a benign operation mechanism to promote the inheritance and development of Chinese medicine culture was gradually established, initially forming a new pattern of comprehensive development of the culture of Chinese medicine in conjunction with medical treatment, health care, education, scientific research, industry and foreign cooperation and exchange. The role and influence of Chinese medicine culture at home and abroad have been significantly enhanced, and the construction of Chinese medicine culture has shown a favorable development trend. However, the construction of Chinese medicine culture is still in the initial stage, and there is still a gap between the current development of Chinese medicine culture and the needs of the people; the efficient and smooth working mechanism and development system of Chinese medicine culture need to be further improved; the laws and characteristics of the development of Chinese medicine culture need to be further studied in depth; and the professional team of Chinese medicine culture needs to be further enriched and its quality needs to be further improved.
