CHONGQING (CQNEWS) -- Recently, the 2019 Traditional Chinese Medicine Culture Festival was opened in Chongqing Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine, inviting citizens to join the team of “treating diseases before ill” through herbal paste exhibition, health free diagnosis, health knowledge lecture and other activities. Since 2014, the festival has benefited more than 100,000 people.

The traditional Chinese medicine paste prescription has a long history. The so-called “three nine tonics for a winter, driving diseases away in the next year” and “winter tonics promise you a healthy year” are exactly the idea of “no treatment for disease with prevention of it”.

At the festival, experts such as Xia Min and Liu Huabao were on the spot. There was a long line of people coming to prescribe the ointment.

Foreign students from Chongqing University and Chongqing Medical University also experienced the charm of traditional Chinese medicine culture. In the traditional Chinese medicine experience area, Nathan from Australia is experiencing traditional Chinese medicine manipulation. “This is the first time I did it, it was amazing!” (Translated by Luo Juan, Fathom Language Limited)
