中医简介 |
Traditional Chinese Medicine（“TCM”）is an integral part of Chinese culture.It has made great contributions to the prosperity of China.Today both of TCM and western medicine are being used in providing medical and health services in China.TCM，with its unique diagnostic methods，systematic approach，abundant historical literature and materials，has attracted many attentions from the international community.TCM is well recognized for its remarkable effectiveness in off setting the side effect caused by the toxic and chemical treatment of cancer cases in western medical system.
The practice of acupuncture probably dates back to the Stone Age，as suggested by findings of ancient stone needles.Also，hieroglyphs and pictographs documenting acupuncture and moxibustion have been found which are dating back to Shang Dynasty（1600BC-1046BC）。When acupuncture（and herbal medicine）became integrated into an embracing medical theory system，it is difficult to judge.TCM theory is，however，inextricably intertwined with the principles of Yinyangism，which was represented for the first time by Zou Yan（340BC-260BC））。
Traditional Chinese medicine includes a range of traditional medical practices originating in China.It is considered as a complementary or alternative medical system in much of the western world while remaining as a form of primary care throughout most of Asia.
In China，TCM is under the administration of State Administration of TCM and Pharmacology.TCM and its development are regulated.National strategies，law and regulations governing TCM are now in place to guide and promote the research and development in this promising industry.
