Abstract

Chinese medicine, as a treasure of China’s traditional culture, has a long history and deep cultural heritage, and talents are the first resource for the development of Chinese medicine. In ancient times, there were many famous Chinese medicine practitioners with excellent medical skills and fame, and their main ways of success were through teaching and family tradition. The cultivation of high medical ethics, benevolence and love, and helping the world and the people is the source of motivation for success; familiarizing oneself with the classics, understanding the humanities, and being knowledgeable about things past and present is an important way for success; practicing diligently, learning from all the strengths, and observing the right and innovating is the key to success. This paper analyzes the growth path of ancient Chinese medicine masters and discusses the advantages and shortcomings of contemporary Chinese medicine talent training, with a view to providing certain references for the cultivation of Chinese medicine talents.
