Abstract

Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) and traditional Chinese culture (TCC) influence and interact with each other. On one hand, three cultural backgrounds constituted by Confucianism, Taoism and Buddhism provide rich nutrition and details for TCM; the various cultures in different historical periods in ancient China also profoundly influence and positively facilitate the development in TCM; traditional Chinese philosophies also have great theoretical significance toward the development in TCM. On the other hand, TCM serves as a potent practical basis for TCC and a key carrier for the development in TCC. From the perspective of history, TCM and TCC correlate and influence each other, thus forming an interactive relationship. Exploration on relationship between TCC and TCM not only has a positive significance to the development in TCM itself but also can inherit and enrich TCC and demonstrate our national cultural confidence. Therefore, the development in TCM nowadays should pay attention to not only its natural scientific attribute but also its humanistic attribute. The relationship between TCM and TCC has been explored for your reference herein from the perspective of cultural confidence.
