Abstract

Folk traditional Chinese medicine is an important part of Chinese traditional culture. In thousands of years of Chinese national history, traditional Chinese medicine has been escorting the lives and health of the general public. Traditional Chinese medicine is not only a medical technology, but also a way of life of ordinary people in traditional culture. However, in recent years, with the rapid development of China's society, the situation of Chinese medicine community is not optimistic. In the system, the training mode of traditional Chinese medicine hospitals is divorced from the training requirements of traditional Chinese medicine. There are some problems such as guiding traditional Chinese medicine with western medicine thinking and "separating medicine from medicine". Folk traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) is in danger of passing on and dating. No one succeeds in the excellent skills of TCM, and it is facing a huge crisis of inheritance. This study is based on field visits to traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) in Wuhan, Huangshi, Handan, Hengshui and Changge, Henan Province, to understand the key factors affecting the inheritance of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), and innovatively put forward the risk index of TCM.
