Approaches to Traditional Chinese Medicine and Stepping Into the Future – in a Biocosmological View
2018
With the introduction and development of Western medicine in China and the continuous spread of the concept of integration of Chinese and Western medicine, after decades of collision and dialogue with Western medicine, Chinese medicine practitioners have studied their education model, medication ideas, diagnostic methods and medical principles. More and more have begun to favor Western medicine. The original exchange between Chinese medicine and Western medicine has become a unilateral invasion of Western medicine. Traditional Chinese medicine has moved toward an increasingly Westernized path. Nowadays, we can see that Traditional Chinese medicine treatment does not seek the principles of traditional Chinese medicine. The medicinal properties of traditional Chinese medicine have become a form, and the result is that its clinic effects are not significant. The patient's distrust has formed a situation in which Chinese medicine can't help. It is hard to believe that making Chinese Medicine into Western medicine and discard the principle of Traditional Chinese medicine but save the Chinese medicines alone have become the future of many Chinese medicine practitioners who specialize in studying Chinese medicine. This article believes that it is imperative to choose a better way to understand, spread and develop the knowledge of Chinese medicine, so that Chinese medicine is no longer as difficult as Chinese traditional culture, so that more people understand Chinese medicine, let more people approach Chinese medicine, and jump out of the Western medical model. Compared to Western medicine, only do we understand and develop Chinese medicine from the perspective of Bio-Cosmological view, we can give full play to the true strengths and advantages of Chinese medicine, and only guiding in this view, Chinese medicine can truly have a growing future.

Foreign to many in the Western world, traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) is perhaps one of the most ancient healing arts known to humans. 4, 5 Since the 1960s and 1970s, the practice of TCM has grown at a spectacular pace. During the early periods of expansion, skilled translators and quality source material pertaining to TCM were not readily available. As a result, there was a genuine misunderstanding of many classic texts in TCM. According to the World Health Organization and the National Institutes of Health (NIH), TCM originated more than 3000 years ago. Its most popular modality, acupuncture, is perhaps the oldest and most commonly used medical procedure in the world. A wide variation in the practice of this and other Chinese medical modalities calls into question the idea that there are universally agreed-on criteria for choosing procedures based on arrived diagnoses. In the current culture that calls for certainty and reductionist thought, it is believed that the nearest thing to what is considered an objective body of theoretic and clinical knowledge is found deep within the Chinese classic tradition. The most recognized classic encyclopedic compilation, the Huang Di Nei Jing or The Yellow Emperor's Classics of Internal Medicine was published in the third century BC. This great work, which has been used by practitioners to develop their skill over the last 2 millennia, illustrates and confirms the age of this traditional practice of medicine. Many who have attempted to use this classic medical text have found the Chinese language fraught with difficulty. To this end, translation has been met
A Short Survey of the Development of Traditional Chinese Medicine in China
2010
EDUCATION ABOUT ASIA Volume 15, Number 2 Fall 2010 C hinese medicine (CM), known as traditional Chinese medicine or TCM in the West, is not only an integral part of the Chinese national healthcare systems, but it is also one of the most popular complementary and alternative medicines in the world. The important role that CM plays in the Chinese healthcare systems, and in promoting global medical pluralism, has been attributed to its unique approach toward understanding diseases and the methods used to treat them. Since California became the first state in the US to license acupuncture as an independent healthcare profession in 1976, more than forty-five states, including the District of Columbia, have given TCM similar status. With US Congressional approval in 1998, the National Institutes of Health established the National Center for Complementary and Alternative Medicine and listed TCM as a form of complementary and alternative medicine. Today there are about fifty TCM colleges in...

The History of Chinese Medicine in the People’s Republic of China and its Globalization
East Asian Science, Technology and Society: an International Journal, 2008
This introductory article provides an overview over the history of Chinese medicine, as it evolved in the People's Republic of China over the last 60 years. In particular, it highlights how Traditional Chinese Medicine (zhongyi), as invented in the 1950s during a period of nationalism marked by idealism and pride in China'sancient philosophy and cultural heritage, has evolved into a medicine that thrives on the contemporary global health market in a neoliberal climate. This latter form of Chinese medicine, which the author, in accordance with its Chinese promoters, calls zhongyiyao “Chinese medicine and pharmacotherapy,” has led to a further materialization of the once scholarly medical currents of Chinese medicine. However, as this volume will show, the globalization of Chinese medicine should not merely be considered in respect of those aspects that are being sold in those niches of society that offer a cure for bodily ailments but also in respect of those that—in accordance with the way Cartesian dualism has divided health care—are increasingly consumed as aspects of preventive medicine, namely taijiquan, and qigong.
