Background of the Establishment of the International Forum on TCM Psychosomatic Medicine
Against the backdrop of the evolving global health needs and the growing attention to the development of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), the International Forum on TCM Psychosomatic Medicine has emerged as the times require. The establishment of this forum is supported by a solid foundation in the development of the industry and driven by urgent practical needs.
1.The Demand of the Times for the Global Dissemination and Development of TCM
In recent years, the internationalization process of TCM has been accelerating. In terms of policy communication, TCM has significantly enhanced its voice and influence in the field of international traditional medicine. For the first time, the 11th Revision of the International Classification of Diseases (ICD - 11) included a chapter on traditional medicine with TCM as the main body. In terms of unimpeded trade, TCM content has been incorporated into multiple free trade agreements, and the total import and export volume of TCM products has increased. In such a general environment, TCM psychosomatic medicine, as an important part of TCM, is facing unprecedented development opportunities. Through the form of an international forum, it can further promote the international dissemination and exchange of TCM psychosomatic medicine, enable more countries and regions to understand the concepts and technologies of TCM psychosomatic medicine, promote its global application and development, and contribute to the building of a global community of health for all.
2.The Prominence of Psychosomatic Health Problems and the Unique Advantages of TCM Psychosomatic Medicine
Currently, psychosomatic health problems are becoming increasingly prominent worldwide, with the incidence of mental illnesses such as anxiety and depression on the rise. TCM psychosomatic medicine, however, possesses unique theories and methods in regulating psychology and treating psychosomatic diseases. TCM emphasizes the "unity of the mind and body" and focuses on improving the psychological and physical state by adjusting the balance of yin and yang and the circulation of qi and blood in the human body from a holistic perspective. The establishment of the International Forum on TCM Psychosomatic Medicine can better promote the new theories, new technologies and new methods of TCM psychosomatic medicine.
3.The Practical Need to Promote the High - Quality Development of the TCM Industry
In the development process of the TCM industry, the industry related to TCM psychosomatic medicine also has great development potential. The TCM psychosomatic medicine industry covers multiple fields such as rehabilitation physiotherapy, health preservation and care, and psychological consultation. Through the exchange and cooperation at the forum, resources from all parties can be integrated, innovative development models can be explored, the standardized and normalized development of the TCM psychosomatic medicine industry can be promoted, the international competitiveness of the industry can be improved, high - quality development can be achieved, and better products and services can be provided for global human health.
The establishment of the International Forum on TCM Psychosomatic Medicine is an inevitable choice for the development of the times. Faced with increasingly severe global health challenges and the accelerated internationalization of TCM, this forum plays an irreplaceable and important role in promoting the international dissemination and exchange of TCM psychosomatic medicine, popularizing new theories, new technologies and new methods, driving industrial development, and benefiting global human health.
Core Value of the International Forum on TCM Psychosomatic Medicine
As an important sub - forum of the 22nd World Congress of Chinese Medicine, the International Forum on TCM Psychosomatic Medicine is guided by the conference theme of "The Dissemination of TCM Culture and Technological Innovation from a Global Perspective" and conducts in - depth discussions around five core topics, which are specifically reflected in the following five aspects:
1. Building an International Exchange Bridge to Facilitate the Global Dissemination of TCM Psychosomatic Medicine
As an important branch of the TCM system that focuses on the "unity of the mind and body", TCM psychosomatic medicine is in urgent need of breaking through geographical and cultural barriers. This forum focuses on "promoting the international dissemination and exchange of TCM psychosomatic medicine". It will gather TCM experts and scholars, government officials and enterprise representatives from around the world. Through academic reports, experience sharing and other forms, it will promote the collision of ideas and practical exchanges in the field of TCM psychosomatic medicine among different countries and regions. This process can not only make the theoretical system and diagnosis and treatment experience of TCM psychosomatic medicine known to more countries, but also absorb advanced international health concepts, forming a two - way interactive communication pattern. It helps TCM psychosomatic medicine become an important carrier for the international dissemination of TCM and further expands the influence of TCM in the global health field.
2. Promoting the Transformation of Innovative Achievements and Strengthening the Clinical Application Value of TCM Psychosomatic Medicine
The development of TCM psychosomatic medicine needs to be driven by innovation. With the topic of "promoting the popularization of new theories, new technologies and new methods of TCM psychosomatic medicine", this forum will focus on displaying the scientific research achievements in the field of TCM psychosomatic medicine in the past 5 years, including new theories on the etiology and pathogenesis of diseases, characteristic intervention technologies and digital diagnosis and treatment tools. By building a platform for the display and promotion of innovative achievements, these theories and technologies can be quickly transformed into clinical practical capabilities. This helps medical practitioners around the world improve their diagnosis and treatment levels for psychosomatic diseases, solve the dilemma that psychosomatic health problems are increasingly prominent in clinical practice but effective intervention methods are insufficient, and ensure that the innovative achievements of TCM psychosomatic medicine truly serve clinical practice and benefit more patients.
3. Promoting the Characteristic Health Preservation Culture and Enriching the Connotation of TCM Culture Dissemination
The health preservation culture of TCM psychosomatic medicine takes the "holistic concept" as its core and focuses on achieving the harmony of the mind and body through lifestyle adjustments, emotional care and other means. This is highly consistent with the current global concept of "full - life cycle health management". Centering on the theme of "promoting the health preservation culture of TCM psychosomatic medicine", this forum will systematically sort out the connotation of the health preservation culture of TCM psychosomatic medicine. This not only enriches the content of TCM culture dissemination, allowing people around the world to more intuitively feel the practicality and humanistic value of TCM culture, but also promotes the integration of TCM health preservation culture into the health life scenarios of various countries and improves the public's literacy in TCM health culture.
4. Empowering the High - Quality Development of the Industry and Building an Industrial Ecosystem for TCM Psychosomatic Medicine
The TCM psychosomatic medicine industry covers multiple fields such as health preservation services, health product research and development, and digital health, and has broad development space. Focusing on "promoting the high - quality development of the TCM psychosomatic medicine industry", this forum will integrate resources from the government, enterprises, scientific research institutions and other parties. It will discuss the standardization construction of the TCM psychosomatic medicine industry (such as service process standards and product quality standards), innovative business models (such as "Internet + TCM psychosomatic health preservation") and international market expansion paths. By clarifying the direction of industrial development and pooling consensus on cooperation, it helps build an integrated "production, education, research and application" industrial ecosystem for TCM psychosomatic medicine. It promotes the industry to shift from "scale expansion" to "quality improvement" and injects new impetus into the high - quality development of the TCM industry.
5. Focusing on Global Health Needs and Contributing to the Building of a Global Community of Health for All
At present, the world is facing multiple health challenges such as the subsequent impact of the COVID - 19 pandemic and the rising incidence of chronic diseases. "Helping TCM psychosomatic medicine benefit global human health" is the core goal of this forum and also a specific response to the main conference topic of "promoting TCM to benefit global human health". TCM psychosomatic medicine has unique advantages in addressing psychosomatic diseases and alleviating pandemic - related psychological stress reactions. Through this forum, the integration of TCM psychosomatic medicine services into the global health governance system will be promoted. At the same time, combined with TCM international cooperation bases, the services and products of TCM psychosomatic medicine will cover more countries, contributing to the building of a global community of health for all.
