Origin of Traditional Chinese Medicine Day

The establishment of Traditional Chinese Medicine Day has a profound historical background. In February 1929, the Ministry of Health of the Nationalist Government convened a meeting of the Central Health Committee and passed the "Abolition of Old Medicine (Traditional Chinese Medicine) Bill," intending to revoke the legal status of Traditional Chinese Medicine. This move immediately triggered strong dissatisfaction and firm resistance from the national TCM community and the general public. TCM organizations across the country quickly united and held the "National Medical Organizations Representative Conference" in Shanghai on March 17th of the same year. With great indignation, they discussed countermeasures and finally passed the "Declaration Against the Abolition of Traditional Chinese Medicine Bill," and petitioned the Nationalist Government, firmly defending the right to survival and development of Traditional Chinese Medicine. This vigorous struggle ultimately forced the Nationalist Government to withdraw the proposal to abolish Traditional Chinese Medicine, achieving victory. To commemorate this important self-rescue movement in the history of Traditional Chinese Medicine and to promote TCM culture, later generations designated March 17th of each year as "Traditional Chinese Medicine Day" to remember the efforts made by ancestors for the cause of Traditional Chinese Medicine and to inspire future generations to continue to inherit and develop this valuable heritage of the Chinese nation.
