It is my great pleasure to give you a brief introduction to China’s traditional medichine, known as “traditional Chinese medicine,”2.中医起源于6000年前的神农氏时代，这位著名的中医古代药王所生活的时代被认为时中医史上的萌芽阶段。
TCM originated with shennong, the celebrated herbal medicine master of ancient China who lived about 6 000 years ago, a time which is believed to be the embryo stage in the development of TCM.3.战国时期的中医理论著作《黄帝内经》标志着中国医学独特的理论体系的形成。
《黄帝内经》至今仍然被视为知道中医理论的基础。
Huang di’s Classic of Internal Medicine, the theoretical work on TCM that emerged in the Warring States Period (475-221 BC), marks the establishment of Chinese medicine’s unique theoretical system. To date, this classic work is still considered as the theoretical basis guiding traditional Chinese medicine.4.中医名著《神农本草经》总结了秦朝前的经验，共记载药物365种，按主治、功用和毒性分为三大类，是中国的一部历史最悠久的药典。
Shennong’s Herbal Classic, the famous TCM work that sums uo medical experiences prior to the Qin (221-207BC) Dynasty, records 365 varieties of medicinal herbs and classifies primary treatments, functions and toxic character. This is the earliest pharmacopoeia ever found in China.5.中医在长期发展过程中，逐渐形成了一整套医学原则和观点。
During its long process of evolution , the TCM science has gradually developed, yielding a complete set of medical principles and concepts.6.首先，中医认为“万物一和为贵”。
中医将“救死扶伤”视为只要道德规范。
First, TCM believes that “ Nothing compares to a human life”. It regards “healing the sick and saving the dying” as its professional work ethics.7.第二，中医注重无病防病，强大以食补板件来延缓衰老，减少疾病。
Second, TCM places emphasis on the early prevention of diseases, advocating the food treatment approach, that is, efforts should be focused on maintaining good halth through the intake of nourishing food to defer senility and reduce the risk of contracting diseases.8.第三，中医理论认为，社会环境与自然环境相互作用、互为依存，人的身心也是一种相互作用、互为依存的关系。
人体是由各种器官和不同功能系统组成的有机整体。
因此，中医师是通过了解人与自然、人与社会、人体与心理之间的关系，以及人体各部位之间的种种关系来诊断病人的疾病。
Third, the TCM theory argues that the relationship of social and natural environment, as well as the relationship of the human body and spirit, is one of mutual influence and interdependence; organs and different systems with various functions. Therefore, TCM doctors try to diagnose the patients’disease by finding out the relationships between humans and nature, between human and society, between the human body and psychology of humans, and among the various segments of the human body.9.第四，中医认为，阴与阳存在与人体内，相互作用‘互为依存。
根据中医的哲学观，阴阳两者对立制约、互跟互用、消长平衡、相互转化。
阴阳平衡是健康的要素，阴阳失衡会影响健康，导致疾病。
因此，中医十分重视调节阴阳以保平衡。
Forth, the TCM science maintains that yin and yang, the two opposing and complementary principles in nature, exist in the human body, mutually functional and dependent. According to the philosophical view of TCM , the two aspects of yin and yang are mutually opposing and constraining , interdependent and mutually promoting, proportionally changing with the decrease of one resulting in, or form, the increase of the other, and mutually transformational. The balance of yin and yang is essential for the maintenance of good health. And if the balance is upset, health will be hurt and illness will develop. Therefore, TCM pays close attention to the effort of regulating yin and yang and maintaining an appreciate balance between the two.10.最后，中医人体内的系列运动贯穿于人的一生，这种系列运动在西医叫做“新陈代谢”。
