Abstract

This paper describes the historical evolution of the concept of the combination of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) and Western medicine and notes that the combination of the two is a knowledge system based on their common development, not simply the westernization of TCM. Both of them have their advantages and should learn from each other. A combination method is further proposed: Combining TCM and Western medicine from the clinical perspective; Combining TCM and Western medicine in terms of experimental studies; the use of modern technology to achieve the modernization of TCM. Ways to promote the internationalization of the combination are also pointed out: establishing an international multi-center observation for clinical trials to TCM; Emphasizing the quality of papers of TCM and publishing more SCI papers to conduct discussion. This paper concludes that we must take full advantages of TCM, work out our way, and develop independent property rights to enhance national self-confidence. By learning from Western medicine, we enhance TCM. The old saying “learn from the advanced technologies in the West in order to resist the invasion of the Western powers” still has significant meaning in the field of combining the TCM and Western medicine.
