Lu, Zhizheng was born in 1920 and is a TCM clinician. He is currently the chief physician, professor, senior researcher, doctor, postdoctoral supervisor of China Academy of Chinese Medical Sciences, and editor-in-chief of the World Journal of Integrated Traditional Chinese and Western Medicine. He was a member of the 6th, 7th and 8th National Committee of the Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference, a member of the Medical Health and Sports Committee, a member of the Pharmacopoeia Committee of the People’s Republic of China, a member of the New Drug Review Committee of the State Food and Drug Administration for 1 to 3 terms, a member of the National Committee on the Assessment of the Protected Traditional Chinese Medicinal Products, and a member of the Ministry of Health Member of the review committee; He also served as the director, vice chairman, advisor of Beijing Chinese Medicine Association, the editor of “Beijing Traditional Chinese Medicine”, “Journal of Chinese Medicine”, Chinese Journal of Traditional Chinese Medicine, etc.; In 2008, he was appraised as a representative inheritance of national intangible cultural heritage in traditional medicine area; In 2009, he was awarded the titles of “Capital Master of Traditional Chinese Medicine” and “Master of Traditional Chinese Medicine”. From 1974 to 2016, he was granted the “Advanced Individual”, “Outstanding Contribution” and “Excellent Expert” awards by the Central Health Commission.

  Lu, Zhizheng advocated the doctrine of Spleen and Stomach, and doctrine of epidemic febrile disease. He not only creatively applied the method of regulating the spleen and stomach to the treatment of “chest paralysis”, which opened up a new way for the prevention and treatment of coronary artery disease, but also applied the doctrine of pidemic febrile disease to the rescue of patients with massive iron burns and the prevention and treatment of SARS. He attached importance to the study of “paralysis” and “dampness” in Chinese medicine and advocated “dry paralysis” and “postpartum paralysis”. He also proposed the new argument that “dampness is not only in the south, but also in the north”, which strongly promoted the development of related disciplines. He believed that evidence-based treatment is the living “soul” of Chinese medicine, and should not be limited by Western medical disease terms. In the composition of prescriptions and dispensing of medicines, the medicine should not be more but more precise, the quantity should not be large but focusing on the disease, and it is important to be light and flexible to hit the disease mechanism, and at the same time, the ability of the spleen and stomach to transport and transform must be taken into account, forming an academic thought of “regulating the spleen and stomach”. He advocates that the holistic advantages of Chinese medicine should be fully utilized, and advocates the concept of comprehensive treatment, which is “combining acupuncture and medicine, combining internal and external use, matching medicine and food, and treating body and mind together”. He recommended that in the face of major health emergencies, TCM practitioners should be allowed to be on the front line, so as to give full play to the strengths of TCM in treating emergency cases. He has edited and published more than 10 books, including “Lu Zhizheng’s Yi Lin Ji Ye”, “Chinese Medicine Evidence and Treatment of Dampness Diseases” and “Lu Zhizheng’s Medical Series”, and has published more than 100 academic papers.
