The names of diseases and syndromes of traditional Chinese medicine, such as exogenous diseases and viscera syndrome, have become the "common language" of international diseases. According to the report of the Director-General of the World Health Organization, ICD- 1 1 includes a supplementary chapter entitled "Traditional Medical Diseases-Module 1", which classifies traditional medical diseases that originated in ancient China and are widely used in China, Japan and South Korea.
