On June 1998 and 1 Sunday, the column of Chinese Medicine was officially launched on CCTV International Channel, and it was broadcast every week, with each program lasting 30 minutes. On September 2, 2002, TCM was completely revised, and the column was expanded to 50 minutes at a time. The brand effect and influence of the column have been further expanded, and it has become one of the brand columns welcomed by audiences at home and abroad by CCTV International Channel.

In the setting of program content, TCM has three normal sections. The first is a health story. The second is Zhongjing Health House. The third is Hong Tao mailbox. This column reflects the different interests and needs of different audiences, and involves China's traditional medicine, living habits and ethics.

Although the program is wonderful, it has aroused many people's doubts. They think that TCM is the dross of China culture and pseudoscience, and that TCM theories such as acupoints are superstitious, but we can't deny the contribution of TCM, which is now advocating the combination of Chinese and Western medicine.
