西医起源于古希腊，它强调心与身、人体与自然的相互联系；它非常重视保持健康，认为健康主要取决于生活方式、心理和情绪状态、环境、饮食、锻炼、心态平和以及意志力等因素的影响。
Wester n medic ine origi nated in an cie nt Greece, it stressed that the heart and body, the huma n body and nature to each other; It attaches great importa nee to the healthy, thi nk that health mainly depe nds on the way of life, the psychological and emoti onal state, the en vir onment, diet, exercise, gen tle state of mind and will power factors.中医理论体系初步形成于战国至两汉时期，《黄帝内经》《难经》《伤寒杂病论》《神农本草经》四大医学典籍可作为中医学理论初步形成的标志。
Chin ese medici ne theory system in in itial shapein the warring states period to the han dynasty, the "yellow emperor," "the difficult of thetyphoid miscella neous diseases theory" cold-i nduced febride four medical books can be used as TCM theory in itially formed sig ns.中医和西医最大的区别在思维方式上。
西医单纯地靠人类的医药技术来对抗疾病，把人体的自我防御、自我修复能力放到次要的地位，甚至漠视它的存在。
西医信奉人类的智慧，相信科技，中医更多的依靠增强人体自身的能力来对付疾病，在“治”和“养”上更偏重于“养”，“治”是外力，“养”是内力，也就是身体自身的自我修复能力。
Traditi onal Chin ese medic ine and wester n medicine is the biggest differenee in the way of thinking. Western mediei ne simply by huma n medical tech no logy to the fight aga inst disease, the huma n body is self defe nse, self-repairi ng ability to the fringes, even ignore it. Western medici ne believe in huma n wisdom, believe that tech no logy, traditi onalChin ese medic ine to rely more on enhan ceme nt of huma nbody on eself ability to deal with the disease, i n "gover nan ce" and "raise" more stress to the "raise", "cure" is outside force, "raise" is the in ternal force, also is the body's own ability to repair itself.中医和西医的第二个区别就是有没有整体观。
中医把人体看成一个不可分割的整体，每个器官、组织之间都是联在一起的，一荣俱荣，一损俱损。
比如五行五脏”认为，人体器官最重要的就是五脏，任何疾病的产生都与五脏功能下降有直接或间接的关系。
任何一个内脏都通过相生相克与其他器官联系起来。
中医的整体观还体现了人与自然的关系，人与社会的关系，人和自然人和社会都是一个整体，人体得了病可以从自然方面来和社会方面来求治。
比如中医的四时养生，春夏秋冬的季节变化要求人的衣食住行做出相应的调整，否则就会影响健康。
中医特别强调人的情志，而情志主要体现在人际关系上，人与社会的和谐就是健康的保证。
西医没有整体观念。
中医治得病的人，而西医治人得的病。
Traditi onal Chin ese medic ine and wester n medic ine sec ond differe nee there's overall concept. TCMthe humanbody as an integral whole, each organ, tissue is between the bound together, a glorious all glory, broke n.

Western medici ne no overall con cept. Heal the sick, and the heali ng of the disease.第三个区别是医学模式不同。
西医按照生理系统和器官来分科，而且越来越细。
医学专业也越来越专科化, 现在分出来的疾病已达到上万种，而且还在细分下—去。
西医的治病和护理也是界限分明的，护士严格执行医嘱。
医疗和养护也是分开的，强调康复锻炼。
还有心理治疗也不同，西医有专门的心理医师供咨询和—治疗。
而中医的整体性表现在，疾病的分类以内脏功—能和重大病因为主，偏于粗略。
而且医护不分，讲究综合治疗。
在治病过程中心理治疗贯穿治疗的始终。
The third differenee is different medical model. Wester n medic ine accord ing to physiological system and orga ns to bran ch, and more and more fine. Medical professi onal also more and more specialized subject, which now cent come out of disease has already reached the tens of thousands of species, but also in the subdivisi on dow n.Wester n medic ine cure and nursing is the clear boundaries, the nurse strictly carry out the doctor's advice.
