Beginning at the new century, traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) has been bring more and more interest in the world. It is a mission of the times to facilitate the recognition of this system of medicine and the share of its benefits with people in the post-modern society.

Before the existence of the modern medicine, human beings depended solely on herbal medicines and other therapeutic methods to cope with disease and preserve health by exploiting environmental condition and personal practice. Such a practice give rise to the establishment of various kinds of traditional medicine with unique theory and practice. Traditional Chinese medicine is the complete system of traditional medicine in the world with most extraordinary clinical effects and healthcare benefits.

Traditional Chinese medicine is one of the great Chinese culture heritages. The philosophy of Traditional Chinese Medicine, with an emphasis on balance in all aspects of life, including a harmony between man and nature and a balance of Yin and Yang, is carried out through the therapeutic principle of restoring the rightness and eliminating the evil, and composition of formulas. It is also reflected in Chinese diet. The Chinese diet is based on the yin-yang balance, according to traditional Chinese medicine all foods and herbs naturally have some of the five fundamental elements respectively to supply yin and yang tonic. By eating the right combinations of foods, the correct balance can be maintained, or if need be, restored. In Chinese prescriptions, and remedies based on them, foods and herbs have been precisely utilized against different syndromes. As early as in the Chinese primitive society, our ancestors discovered, while going in search of food and herbs and used them for curative purposes. Huangdi Neijing (Huangdi's Canon of Medicine) written in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States, though recording only 13 prescriptions with simple ingredients, includes such dosage forms as decoction, pill, powder, ointment, pellet and medicinal liquor. Moreover, it summed up the theories of therapeutic principles based on syndrome differentiation, therapeutic methods, principles of formulating prescriptions as well as the incompatibility of drugs. The book Shanghan Zabing Lun (Treatise on Febrile and Miscellaneous Diseases), compiled by Zhang Zhongjing in the Eastern Han Dynasty, creatively merged the theories, methods, prescriptions and drugs into a single whole. The book recorded 314 prescriptions with a rigorous compatibility, precise selection of drugs and remarkable therapeutic effect. It has a far-reaching impact upon Chinese medicine. The formula recorded in the Canon of Medicine or Zhang Zhongjing's works is known as a "classical formula".

With the change of the economy, culture and life style in various regions, immigration as well as the aging in the world population, the spectrum of diseases is changing and an increasing number of diseases are difficult to cure in spite of the fast development of modern medicine. The new application of traditional medicine will certainly become one of the hot points in the world.
