Traditional Chinese medicine bears the experience and theoretical knowledge of ancient people in China in fighting diseases. It is a medical theoretical system gradually formed and developed through long-term medical practice under the guidance of ancient naive materialism and spontaneous dialectical thinking.
Based on the theory of yin-yang and five elements, Chinese medicine regards the human body as the unity of qi, form and spirit. Through the method of "seeing, hearing and asking", it explores the cause, nature and location of the disease, analyzes the changes of pathogenesis of viscera, meridians, joints, qi and blood and body fluid, judges the rise and fall of evil, and then obtains the name of the disease, summarizes the syndrome types, and formulates the principle of "sweating and body fluid" on the basis of syndrome differentiation and treatment.

The history of Chinese medicine Chinese medicine is relative to western medicine. Before western medicine flowed into China, Chinese medicine was basically not called Chinese medicine, but had a unique and rich title.
Chinese medicine came into being in primitive society. During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the theory of traditional Chinese medicine has basically taken shape, and branches of anatomy and medicine have emerged, adopting the "four diagnoses". Treatment methods include Bian Shi, acupuncture, decoction, moxibustion, guidance, gas distribution and wishing. Since ancient times, there has been a saying that "medicine and Taoism are interlinked". This influence can be traced back to Huang's classic Huangdi Neijing, which is the four classic works of traditional medicine in China and the earliest medical classic in China. At the same time, it is a medical masterpiece studying human physiology, pathology, diagnostics, therapeutic principles and pharmacology. Theoretically, the theories of yin and yang, five elements, pulse condition, Tibetan image, meridians, etiology and pathogenesis, disease, diagnosis, treatment, health preservation and luck are established. Later, on the basis of pre-Qin Taoist thought, TCM began to explain the human body with Yin-Yang and Five Elements. Zhang Zhongjing, a famous physician, appeared in the Eastern Han Dynasty. He has long understood the "eight cardinal principles" (yin and yang, exterior and interior, deficiency and excess, cold and heat) and summed up the "eight methods". Hua Tuo is famous for his mastery of surgery and anesthesia, and he also founded the "Five Birds Play" of fitness gymnastics. In the Tang Dynasty, Sun Simiao summarized the theories and experiences of his predecessors and collected more than 5,000 prescriptions for treatment based on syndrome differentiation. Because of his highest medical ethics, he was honored as the "King of Medicine". After the Tang Dynasty, China's medical theory and works were widely spread to Korea, Japan, Central Asia and West Asia. During the Song Dynasty, the government of the Song Dynasty established Hanlin Medical College, and the medical discipline was almost complete, which unified the disorder of acupoints caused by copying in China and published the illustrated classics. Since the Jin and Yuan Dynasties, Chinese medicine began to decline. After the Ming and Qing Dynasties, the school of febrile diseases appeared, which gradually replaced the school of classical Chinese medicine. Li Shizhen's Compendium of Materia Medica, written at the end of Ming Dynasty, marked the decline of TCM pharmacology. At the same time, both Mongolian medicine and Tibetan medicine are influenced by Chinese medicine. In North Korea, oriental medicine has also made great progress. For example, the Treasure of Oriental Medicine written by Xu Jun.
Since the late Qing Dynasty, China has been invaded by western powers, and its national fortune has been weakened. At the same time, the influx of modern medicine (western medicine) has seriously impacted the development of Chinese medicine. Many people in China advocate medical modernization, and traditional Chinese medicine has been greatly challenged. People began to look at it with the thinking mode of western medicine system, and Chinese medicine fell into a dispute of keeping or abolishing. The same is true of Japanese traditional Chinese medicine and Korean medicine, both of which belong to China's medical system. Since SARS in 2003, classical Chinese medicine began to show signs of recovery.
During the Cultural Revolution, Chinese medicine, as a medical paradigm of "serving the present with the past", was supported and developed by China's production party policy. Modern Chinese medicine is still one of the commonly used methods to treat diseases in China. Internationally, acupuncture has aroused great interest in the medical field. Acupuncture has been proved to be effective in relieving postoperative pain, nausea during pregnancy, nausea and vomiting caused by chemotherapy, toothache and so on, and the side effects are extremely low. However, the data on chronic pain, back pain and headache are vague or controversial. WHO believes that the effectiveness of many acupuncture and some herbs has been strongly supported by scientific double-blind research, but other traditional therapies need further research, and the safety and danger of traditional therapies that have not yet been studied cannot be ignored. On May 26th, 2002, WHO published the "Global Traditional Medicine Research Strategy for 2002-2005", inviting more than 80 countries around the world to incorporate alternative medicine into their medical policies.
The original innovation and revolution of the basic theory of modern Chinese medicine began in the 1990s. The new philosophy of traditional Chinese medicine includes three philosophies of traditional Chinese medicine: holistic view and dialectical view, and the third newly excavated philosophy of traditional Chinese medicine: similarity view-fractal theory.

The newly included information about Chinese medicine will be written in Chapter 26 of the Global Medical Outline (1 1 Edition), which mainly explains the classification system of traditional medicine and will be implemented in WHO member countries in 2022. ?
