    Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) has an extensive history ofmore than

    thousands of years. It has accumulated the Chinese people’s lifeexperiences

    through centuries of struggling against diseases. It is a vitalpart of world

    cultural heritage. TCM theories and medicine practices have beenenriched

    throughout Chinese history and have demonstrated clinicaleffectiveness. TCM

    continues to be an integral part of the Chinese healthcaresystem and continues

    to make significant contributions to the health of Chinesepeople, and people

    around the world.

    The Formation, Development and Basic Theory of TCM

    The formation of the TCM theory has been infl uenced by ancientChinese

    philosophy, especially by Yin-Yang and Five-element theories.TCM views

    human physiology and pathology from a holistic perspective andhas developed

    a unique and comprehensive system to understand the human bodyand disease

    pathogenesis. It is based on systemic understanding ofphysiology and pathology

    of the whole person, Zang-fu organs and meridians-collateralsystem. TCM

    practitioners assess the clinical signs and symptom to obtain aTCM differential

    diagnosis and develop an appropriate treatment plan for eachpatient.

    Yellow Emperor’s Classic of Internal Medicine (Huang Di NeiJing) is the

    oldest and greatest of the medical classics. It is anamalgamation of medical ideas

    and techniques that were used before 200 BC. It laid a solidfoundation for the

    formation of TCM theory and clinical practice.

    The Classic on Medical Problems

    (Nan Jing) was written and

    formed before the Eastern Han

    Dynasty. The book mainly focuses

    on the theory of TCM, such as TCM

    physiology, pathology, diagnosis

    and treatment of disease, etc. It is a

    supplement to the Yellow Emperor’s

    Classic of Internal Medicine.

    In the Han Dyna s ty (3r d

    century AD), Zhang Zhongjing, an outstanding physician, wroteDiscussion of

    Cold-Induced and Miscellaneous

    Diseases (Shang Han Za Bing

    Lun). It was divided into two

    books by later generations. The

    first book is entitled Discussion

    of Cold-Induced Diseases (Shang

    Han Lun), While the other

    was Synopsis of the Golden

    Cabinet (Jin Gui Yao Lu ..e). These

    books established principles of

    treatment based on differentiation of patterns, thereby laid asolid foundation for

    the development of clinical practice.

    Shen Nong’s Herbal (Shen Nong Ben Cao Jing), also known as theClassic

    on Medicinals (Ben Cao Jing) or The Herbal (Ben Cao), is theearliest materia

    medica book in China. It appeared

    around the Qin-Han Period with

    unknown authorship. Not only

    did it list 365 medicinal items―

    among which 252 are herbs, 67

    are animals, and 46 are minerals,but also divided them into three

    grades according to their different

    properties and effects. The book

    also gives a brief introduction

    of pharmacological theories―

    Principal (Jun), Adjuvant (Chen), Assistant (Zuo) and Guide(Shi); harmony of

    seven emotions (Qi Qing He He); four properties of medicinalherbs (Si-qi) and

    fi ve tastes of medicinal herbs (Wu-wei). It provides atheoretical basis for the use

    of Chinese medicinals and formulas.

    These four classical works served as a basis for the enrichmentand

    development of the theoretical system of TCM. In 610 AD, ChaoYuanfang, et

    al compiled General Treatise on the Etiology (Zhu Bing Yuan HouLun). This

    book provides an extensive and detailed description ofetiologies and symptoms

    of various diseases. It is the earliest classic work focusingsolely on etiology and

    symptoms. In the Song Dynasty, Chen Wuze put forth the famousetiological

    theory known as “The Three Categories of Pathogenic Factors”. Inthe Jin

    and Yuan Dynasties, there appeared four main medical schoolsrepresented by

    Liu Wansu, Zhang Congzheng, Li Gao and Zhu Zhenheng. In the Mingand

    Qing Dynasties, there appeared several medical classics such asThe Treatise

    of Epidemic Diseases (Wen Yi Lun) written by Wu Youxing , ThePassage of

    Febrile Diseases (Wen Re Bing Pian) written by Ye Tianshi, andThe Doctrine of

    Seasonal Febrile Diseases (Wen Bing Tiao Bian) written by WuJutong. These

    books further enriched the theoretical system of TCM.

    The universities and colleges of TCM were founded in the 1950sin China.

    Along with the development of TCM, Signifi cant progress wasmade to ensure

    TCM theory was further studied. In the 21st century, thescholars of TCM

    continue to develop TCM as well as utilize modern science andtechnology to

    research TCM through Evidence-Based Medicine (EBM).

    The Characteristics of TCM

    The theory of TCM has its roots in clinical experience. It isused as a guide

    in clinical practice. There are two basic fundamental pillars ofTCM’s theoretical

    system: holism and differential diagnosis.

    I The Holistic Concept

    TCM views the world and human body from a holistic perspective.It

    attaches great importance to the unity of the human body withnature, and within

    the body itself. Its relationship with the nature deems that thehuman body

    is an organic whole which has an inseparable relationship withthe external

    natural world. This holistic view permeates through the entiretyof TCM theory,approaches and clinical practices.

    1. Holism of the Human Body

    In TCM, the human body is regarded as an organic whole in whichits

    constituent parts are physically inseparable in structure andfunctionality, and

    its “xing” (body) is unified with its “shen” (spirit). The humanbody is an

    organic whole centered on the five Zang-organs with the Heart asits “king”.

    The meridians and collaterals connect the six Fu-organs, fi vesense organs, nine

    orifi ces, bones and four extremities, tendons, pulses, muscleand skin with each

    other while Qi and Blood nourish the whole body.

    In TCM, the body and spirit influence each other. “Xing” refersto the

    physical body, while “shen” refers to the psychological,emotional and mental

    aspects. “Xing” is the material foundation for “shen”, while“shen” infl uences

    “xing”. Ancient Chinese philosophy has aided in the developmentof TCM theory

    and clinical practice where the body, mind and spirit depend oneach other and

    have an inseparable relationship with each other. The unity ofthe whole is the

    basis for life. Thus, a patient is viewed as a unified whole, inwhich the body,mind and spirit are intricately connected and infl uence eachother.

    2. Holism of the Human Being and Nature

    (1) Unity between the Body and Nature

    TCM emphasizes harmony between human beings and nature, andin

    Chinese it means “Tian Ren He Yi ” (heaven and man are one). Thehuman

    being lives in nature and needs nature to survive. People areinfl uenced directly

    or indirectly by their natural environment and it affects theirphysiological and

    pathological responses. When drastic change of the naturalenvironment occurs

    and exceeds the body’s tolerance, or

    when the body’s dysfunction of the selfadjustment

    is unable to adapt to the

    environment, there will be an imbalance

    between the human being and nature.

    This leads to disease pathogenesis.

    TCM focuses a great deal of attention

    on the infl uences of nature, seasonality,geo-environmental factors time of day,and their inter-relationship with health

    and disease.

    Seasonal changes significantly influence human physiology. Forexample,Summer-heat is associated with exuberance of “Yang-qi” making Qiand Blood

    come to the surface, Where by the body heat is reduced bysweating. In the case

    of winter, “Yang-qi” is hidden inside, extra water is excretedthrough the urine.

    Meanwhile, certain diseases are more prevalent in one seasonversus another

    season. Some chronic disease may transform into an acuteepisode, when dramatic

    climate change happens.

    The alternations of day and night changes the functionalcondition of

    the human body too. With the waning and waxing of Yin and Yangin the day

    and at night, Yang-qi of human body will accommodate itself tothe outside

    or inside accordingly. Therefore, many patients tend to feelworse in the

    evening compared with day time. In addition, the difference ofgeographical

    environments, climate, quality of soil and water will havedifferent effects on

    its residence.
