Among them, medicine is the only one that has never been replaced by Western sciences and still plays an important role in protecting the health of Chinese people.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 possibiliw and space to further develop itself along its own orbit? Is there any possibility that it may be replaced by modern medicine? These are the questions frequently being asked.
