Note: WHO recognizes the diversity of traditional, complementary and integrative medicine (T&CM) practices across countries of the world and its contribution to health, well-being, people-centred health care and universal health coverage. However, an evidence-based approach is crucial; even if traditional medicines are derived from longstanding practice and are natural, establishing their efficacy and safety through rigorous clinical trials is critical. Any T&CM product or therapy should follow strict protocol and be subjected to tests and clinical trials for quality, efficacy and patient safety. Learn more from WHO.

提示：世卫组织认识到世界各国传统医学、补充医学和综合医学的多样性及其对健康、福祉、以人为本的卫生保健和全民健康覆盖的贡献。不过，循证方法至关重要；即使传统药物来自长期实践并且是天然材料，通过严格的临床试验确定其有效性和安全性仍至关重要。任何传统医学产品或疗法均应遵循严格的规程，并接受质量、疗效和患者安全临床试验。从世卫组织了解更多。

Poem of the Day 每日诗歌

Native Land
Anna Akhmatova

But there is no people on earth more tearless,
More simple and more full of pride.
1922

We don’t wear her on our breast in cherished amulets,
We don’t, with wrenching sobs, write verse about her,
She does not disturb our bitter sleep,
Nor seem to us the promised paradise.
We have not made her, in our souls,
An object to be bought or sold.
Suffering, sick, wandering over her,
We don’t even remember her.
Yes, for us it’s the mud on galoshes,
Yes, for us it’s the grit on our teeth.
And we grind, and we knead, and we crumble
This clean dust.
But we lie in her and we become her,
And because of that we freely call her — ours.

故土
安娜·阿赫玛托娃

世间没有人比我们更加无忧、
更加骄傲、更加朴实。
1922

我们不把她珍藏在香囊里，佩戴在胸前
我们也不声嘶力竭地为她编写诗篇，
她不扰乱我们心酸的梦境，
我们也不把她看成天国一般。
我们的心灵里不把她变成
可买可卖的物件，
我们在她的身上患病、吃苦、受难，
也从来不把她挂念。
是啊，对于我们来说，她是套鞋上的土，
是啊，对于我们来说，她是牙齿间的沙，
我们踩她、嚼她、践踏她，
什么东西也不能把她混杂。
可是，当我们躺在她的怀抱里，我们就变成了她，
由此，我们才如此自然地把她称为自己的家。

Родная земля
Анна Ахматова

И в мире нет людей бесслезней,
Надменнее и проще нас.
1922

В заветных ладанках не носим на груди,
О ней стихи навзрыд не сочиняем,
Наш горький сон она не бередит,
Не кажется обетованным раем.
Не делаем ее в душе своей
Предметом купли и продажи,
Хворая, бедствуя, немотствуя на ней,
О ней не вспоминаем даже.
Да, для нас это грязь на калошах,
Да, для нас это хруст на зубах.
И мы мелем, и месим, и крошим
Тот ни в чем не замешанный прах.
Но ложимся в нее и становимся ею,
Оттого и зовем так свободно — своею.

Article Recommendation of the Week 杂志文章简评

Virtual Tourism: Speculation Concept or Future of Tourism

When it comes to the hottest concept in recent years, the "metaverse" must be the first choice. No matter how the concept of the metaverse will develop and be applied in various aspects in the future, during the pandemic, it seems that some passengers have already boarded the train of the metaverse, opening the prelude to virtual tourism. Virtual tourism can both be unrestricted by region and "travel through time and space". If you achieve the ultimate sense of realism and liveliness, will you come for a virtual tourism?

Since the COVID-19 spread around the world, the tourism industry has been considered as one of the most seriously affected industries. According to the 2022 Tourism Economic Impact Report released by the World Tourism Council, the tourism industry lost 62 million jobs in 2020, leaving only 271 million people employed and losing nearly $4.9 trillion. Its contribution to global GDP decreased by 50.4% year-on-year, and the global economy decreased by 3.3%.

From some perspectives, with the advancement of technology, virtual tourism seems to have great potential for development. For example, the game "Assassin's Creed" uses high-precision city restoration, allowing many people to enjoy many city landscapes around the world in addition to the game, which is enough to confuse the real with the fake. The German National Tourism Administration has launched many immersive VR tourism projects, incorporating VR technology into the Baltic Coast, Neuschwanburg, and Heidelberg Palace. A restaurant called "First Route" in Tokyo, Japan, focuses on the concept of virtual tourism, with "aerial travel on the ground" as the selling point. Sitting in a huge flight simulation cabin, guests can experience the scenes of airplane takeoff, high-altitude flight, landing, and encountering turbulence in the airflow. In just 20 minutes, guests can immerse themselves in the scenery and local customs of their chosen destination. South Korea, Ireland, Japan, Italy and other countries have also moved some tourist attractions online to maintain the popularity of the scenic area, providing one-on-one communication with the audience and giving participants a more immersive feeling.

In order to address the development, breakthroughs, and innovation of traditional tourism in the post-pandemic era, this combination of virtual and real "tourism" approach may be a good option, as it allows us to:

1. Remote visit to scenic spots, through virtual reality technology, users can remotely visit scenic spots, historical sites, natural landscapes, etc. as if they were in person.
2. Cultural experience, users can learn about the cultures, traditions, and customs of different regions in a virtual environment, thereby enriching their horizons.
3. Historical Reviewing: Through virtual tourism, users can revisit historical events and times, such as exploring ancient cities and historical sites.

However, virtuality is ultimately virtual, and the lack of presence and different themes create an insurmountable gap between reality and virtuality. Indulging in the virtual world can disconnect people from real social interactions and deprive them of opportunities to communicate with real society. While affecting their physical health, it can also have an impact on the traditional tourism industry and its related industry chains, such as catering, transportation, entertainment, accommodation, etc.

Although experiencing tourism in a digital way can solve the problems of distance and cost, the sense of experience has always been the core concern of everyone. If virtual tourism VR, as an emerging technology, can become a supplement rather than a substitute for traditional tourism, it is a form of cooperation rather than opposition. The two integrate to create a better tourism environment, bringing tourists a comprehensive and multi-perspective immersive experience.

Benvenuto Cellini: Artist of the Week 每周艺术家

Cellini was a Florentine goldsmith, sculptor, and writer. His career flourished after the creative climax of the High Renaissance and like many others of his time, Cellini followed the style of Mannerism, which focused not on naturalism but on radical artistic dramatization. His most famous works include Perseus with the Head of Medusa, a more than five-meter-tall sculpture made of sleek bronze; the Saliera, or the Cellini Salt Cellar (pictured), a tabletop sculpture made of delicate hammered gold, partly used to store condiments for the French King.

Perhaps more theatrical than his extravagant artworks is Cellini’s personal life. In his succinctly titled autobiography My Life, the artist writes passionately and fantastically about the spectacles of 16th century Italy. It tells tales occurring in his native Florence, to stories about the courts of Rome and France, where he fled to after murdering his rival. He would later kill at least two more civilians, though never served his sentence due to his excellent art serving the pope, various noblemen, and Francis I, only being imprisoned due to charges of homosexuality. Though his autobiography is infused with egotistical boasts and falsities, it does offer us an exciting glimpse into the violent realities of Renaissance life and the psyche of a violent man who survived it.
