中医药学在中华民族在长期生活和生产实践中形成的宝贵财富。它以解除人类的疾病痛苦为目的，以人与自然的和谐相处为基本思路，在吸收中国古代哲学理念的基础上，构建了自己的理论框架，形成了独特的诊疗方式。（In ancient Chinese civilization, astronomy,mathematics, agriculture and medicine were the four advanced sciences. Maybe it is improper to call them sciences, but they were really the four complete systems of knowledge and skills developed in ancient China. Among them, medicine is the only one that has never been replaced byWestern sciences and still plays an important role in protecting the health of Chinese people. Then there is a question. How traditional Chinese medicine, a classic system of medicine without any connection with modern sciences, can still exist in spite of the fact that modern medicine can basically meet the need of healthcare? Is traditional Chinese medicine a science or just a collection of experience? Does it still have the possibility and space to further develop itself along its own orbit? Is there any possibility that it may be replaced by modern medicine? There are the questions frequently being asked.）
