Abstract

Chinese medicine is one of the world's most ancient medical and healing practices that originated from China. It demonstrates a medical and health system that reflects the philosophy and values of Chinese culture. Chinese medicine has been marked as a branch of complementary and alternative medicine and listed as traditional medicine, oriental medicine, and Asian medicine in global medical discourse. This entry briefly discusses: (i) the concept formation and development of Chinese medicine; (ii) interpersonal communication of Chinese medicine from the perspective of physician–patient communication, interprofessional collaboration, and intergenerational communication; and (iii) information about Chinese medicine in the media.
