Abstract

In the globalized age, TCM international dissemination is confronted with rigorous challenges derived from cultural conflicts on the way to its internationalization. This essay has made a detailed analysis of the factors obstructing its international communication---shortage of professionals, cultural differences between TCM and Western Medicine, and problems TCM in translation, then proposed three corresponding strategies including development of TCM translation, cultivation of internationalized talents, and integration of Chinese and Western Medicine. It is foreseeable that in future, TCM will achieve its legal position as a complementary and substitute medicine and gradually develop to be a part of the mainstream medicine.
