XU Ling-tai's thought on Chinese medicine education

XU Ling-tai,a famous doctor in Qing Dynasty,stated his TCM educational though in his work,Yixueyunaliulun.There are three points being worth thinking： ① It is not everybody can learn medicine,and he emphasized that a person learning medicine must be smart,nimble,erudite,open-minded,good at reading and memory,exquisite and knowledgeable.② The examination for medical learners must be strict,and learner should be examined strictly every month.If their medical knowledge is rusty,they should be dismissed and learn medicine again,or even divert to other professions.③ Medical learners should be directed by teachers.They must grasp TCM knowledge in the general before curing diseases.Those who just skim some medical books and get mere dilettante knowledge in medicine will be harmful to others,their kindred or themselves.These statements have enlightened our thinking in the reform of TCM education from three aspects including admission criteria,continuing education and systematic education.
