On the 12th, Xi Jinping conducted an inspection tour in Nanyang City to examine its economic and social development. He first visited the Yisheng Temple, the memorial site of Zhang Zhongjing, a renowned physician of the Eastern Han Dynasty, where he learned about Zhang’s life and his contributions to the development of traditional Chinese medicine, as well as the role TCM has played in the prevention and treatment of the COVID-19 pandemic and the ongoing efforts to inherit and innovate within the field. He emphasized that TCM embodies the Chinese nation’s millennia-old health and wellness philosophies and practical experience, representing a great creation of the Chinese people and a treasured gem of ancient Chinese science. It is essential to uphold fundamental principles while fostering innovation, to effectively carry forward and develop TCM, to actively promote TCM research and innovation, to emphasize the use of modern science in elucidating the underlying principles of TCM, to integrate and mutually reinforce traditional TCM with modern science, and to encourage complementary and coordinated development between TCM and Western medicine, so as to provide higher-quality health services to the general public.
After leaving the Temple of the Medical Sage, Xi Jinping visited the Nanyang Rose Expo Park, where he listened to briefings on the development of the local rose industry and its role in increasing rural incomes, and then toured the park by car. Visitors eagerly greeted the General Secretary. Xi Jinping emphasized that locally distinctive industries hold enormous development potential, and that it is essential to effectively identify and leverage local comparative advantages, strengthen the protection of high-quality local varieties, promote close integration among industry, academia, and research, and coordinate efforts to make comprehensive strides in industrial development, technological innovation, and cultural enrichment.
Subsequently, Xi Jinping visited Nanyang Yaoyibao Artemisia Argyi Products Co., Ltd., where he inspected the production workshops and product displays and engaged in cordial conversations with the company’s management and employees. Xi emphasized that artemisia argyi is a valuable traditional Chinese medicinal herb, and developing artemisia-based products not only makes efficient use of local resources but also creates employment opportunities close to home. He stated that while we should vigorously develop technology-intensive industries, we must also prioritize labor-intensive industries with high employment capacity, so as to ensure that more job opportunities and value-added benefits are retained by rural residents.
