The Traditional Chinese Medicine is a national treasure of China, and an important part of the treasure of the entire world as well. The Traditional Chinese Medicine has a long history for thousands of years since the beginning of the written literature on medicine in China. Even in ancient time with very low developed culture, science, and technology, our ancestry had made a gigantic contribution to the healthy multiplying of the Chinese people of all nationalities through the application of acupuncture techniques and medicinal herbs as well as massage and Qigong. After the People's Republic of China was founded, the administration has been standing for combining of Traditional Chinese Medicine with Western Medicine in order to use reference to each other, which has gained gratifying achievements in the treatment for a lot of ordi­ nary illnesses and hypochondria. With the reformation and opening of the People's Republic of China, the Traditional Chinese Medicine has been recommended to the of returning to nature is rising western countries. While the voice higher and higher, more and more friends over the world have ac­ cepted the Traditional Chinese Medicine, and many of them hope to deeply understand the Traditional Chinese Medicine, study its the­ ory and learn how to apply medical herbs and techniques of acupunc­ ture, massage and Qigong.
