Abstract
The unique basic theory of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), an important integral part of the 5000 years of Chinese traditional culture, has been formed over 2000 years ago. Over such a long term of clinical practice, TCM doctors have accumulated valuable experience in the diagnosis and treatment of diseases and developed unique treatment methods. Until now, nearly 10,000 medical books on TCM have been found, and a series of medical management and medical education system have been established.
