Features: A negative attitude towards Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) is often not derived from a rigorous value critique but rather from positioning tradition as "old culture" from the perspective of time, followed by a series of arguments that serve to negate for the sake of negation. Yu Yunxiu's advocated "medical revolution" is, in fact, in line with the myriad "literary revolutions," "social revolutions," and "cultural revolutions" of the 20th century. Under the surface of intrigue, we do not know the ferocity beneath the water—this is a manifestation of the degradation of cultural intelligence. Therefore, when competition faces us, we often become numb. So, let's start here and take a look at a capital conspiracy.
At the beginning of the People's Republic of China, in an environment where it was possible to avoid the capital conspiracy, our understanding lagged behind. What we should examine is: What exactly blinded our national cultural intelligence so profoundly? In fact, more often than not, there is no clear enemy deceiving us. Our enemy comes precisely from within—our hearts, which have been deceived by distant capital conspiracies.
