The culture of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) is deeply intertwined with the culture of integrity, sharing the same roots and origins. Poetry expresses aspirations, while medicine symbolizes integrity. Many Chinese medicinal materials embody profound cultural values of integrity. When the integrity factors emanating from ancient TCM culture blend with the self-revolution of the Party in the new era, they can give rise to a vibrant essence of integrity. Let us delve into the culture of TCM and savor its essence of integrity..
Therapeutic Effects
Fang Feng (Siler Root), stops spasms, expels wind and alleviates itching, relieves dampness and pain, treats wind-damp bi syndrome, addresses spleen deficiency with excess dampness, and is effective for tetanus, dizziness, and joint pain.
According to the Compendium of Materia Medica, “It addresses thirty-six types of wind, expelling wind evil from the upper body, relieving stagnation in the head and eyes, clearing dampness from the meridians, and alleviating pain in the bones and joints, making it a miraculous herb for expelling wind and dampness.”
Symbolism of Integrity
Fang Feng is named for its ability to treat wind disorders and prevent the invasion of wind evil, which parallels the need for Party members and officials to build a strong defense against corruption and maintain integrity in governance, resisting various temptations and corrupt influences.
Integrity Reminder
The renowned physician from the Jin Dynasty, Li Gao, stated, “Fang Feng treats all pains in the body, and although it is a humble herb, it serves as a powerful remedy against wind. It is essential for tonifying the spleen and stomach, and without it, one cannot achieve effective treatment.” This poetic description illustrates that while Fang Feng may seem ordinary, its “wind-repelling” efficacy is profound, teaching Party members and officials to fulfill their duties in ordinary positions while maintaining a constant awareness of resisting evil influences. They must continuously hone their ability to combat the four undesirable practices, internalizing the essence of this effective remedy to uphold integrity and righteousness.
