The beginnings of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) can be related to the three most important philosophic and religious personalities. Modern Western medicine (MM), which was already sensationally successful at that time, was brought to China by business men, missionaries and soldiers. Compared to MM, the theories of TCM seem abstract, its concept unusual. Historical hallmarks of TCM influenced by culture are the following: the medical system is philosophical, oriented towards humanism. TCM is a medical system without strict structural relationships (without anatomy).
传统中医（TCM）的起源可以追溯到三位最重要的哲学和宗教人物。现代西医（MM）在当时已经取得了惊人的成功，它是由商人、传教士和士兵带到中国的。与西医相比，中医的理论似乎很抽象，其概念也不寻常。受文化影响的中医的历史标志如下：医学体系具有哲学性，以人文主义为导向。中医是一个没有严格结构关系（没有解剖学）的医学体系。
