岳美中先生起草的一份中医工作建言

A proposal for the works of traditional Chinese medicine drafted by Mr. Yue Meizhong

1951年卫生部相继发布了《中医师暂行条例》等限制中医执业和改造中医的文件，使中医学面临着不能正常传承和发展的危险。1953年，著名中医岳美中起草了一份关于中医发展问题的意见书，与华北中医实验所所长李振三共同磋商、补充修改后，提供给中共中央、政务院作为参考。意见书回顾了中医学发展的悠久历史，阐述了中医学的特点和价值，提出了设立各级中医行政管理机构、建立中医研究院、创办中医学院等宝贵的具体建议，代表了中医界的心声，反映了中医学自身发展的客观规律。

In 1951, The Interim Regulations on Practitioners of Traditional Chinese Medicine was issued by the Ministry of Health to restrict the practitioners＇ practice of traditional Chinese medicine （TCM） and to transform TCM, resulting in TCM facing the risk of interrupting its inheritance and development. In 1953, Yue Meizhong, a famous TCM physician, drafted a proposal about TCM development. After discussing and revising with Li Zhensan, the Director of North China Institute of TCM Experiment, the pro- posal was suhmitted to the Central Committee of Chinese Communist Party and Government Administration Council as a reference. The proposal made a retrospect of the long history of TCM development, elaborated the characteristic and significance of TCM, proposed the detailed suggestions about the establishment of TCM administration institutions at various levels, set up of TCM Academy and Colleges etc. , which represented the voice of TCM professionals, and reflected the objective principle of TCM development.
