It is the first publication in 20 years following the book 'Huh Jun must die for the country to live, saying goodbye to oriental medicine 10 years ago.
This book is evaluated as a 25-year record of scientific criticism of oriental medicine and the restoration of medical human rights.
In the preface to this book, we introduced in detail the four major conflicts of the times (refusal of the Chinese oriental medicine curriculum in 1914, abolition of the Chinese medicine in 1929, organization of oriental medicine in 1951, and a campaign to criticize oriental medicine in 2006), highlighted the fierce debate and background in China, and compared and analyzed the situation in Korea.
In particular, the need for a scientific and philosophical review was mentioned, and it was dealt with in-depth enough to cover 500 pages, pointing out the lack of evidence and inefficiency of oriental medicine theory, and the possibility of medical human rights violations.
In addition, we looked at the process of discarding oriental medicine in the modernization process of Japan and analyzed the problem of dualization of medical care institutionalized by nationalism and errors in the modernization process
Yoo Yong-sang, director of the hospital, said "This book is not just a criticism of oriental medicine, but a huge discourse that emphasizes the importance of establishing a scientific and human rights-respecting medical unification system while revealing the problems and limitations of the oriental medicine system through East Asian medical discourse."
We look forward to gaining a new critical understanding of oriental medicine and conducting a progressive public debate with an in-depth reflection on medical human rights with the publication of this book"This book can give meaning to medical questions and answers that follow Hong Dae-yong's medical questions and answers in the 18th century."," he added.
