As a treasure that our ancestors left us, the traditional Chinese medicine concludes the Chinese concept and practical experience of health preservation. The conference of the series “drawing the traditional Chinese medicine culture” was held on the afternoon of January 30. The theme was “Disseminating the culture of Chinese medicine and practicing cultural confidence.

The series has three books, “the history of Chinese medicine”, “health maintenance” and “herbal diets”. The painter Luo Xixian was invited to illustrate in the form of a traditional comic strip. What’s more, the series is printed on the xuan paper. In those ways, it shows the connotation of traditional culture and is easy for readers to read and understand.

In order to spread the traditional Chinese medicine culture to the world, Han Choupin, the professor of Shanghai University of Traditional Chinese Medicine, was invited to translate the books into English.

As shown in the survey, 47% of the foreign interviewees regarded traditional Chinese medicine as a representative element of Chinese culture, which ranks the second. The first is Chinese food (52%) and the third is Chinese Kungfu (44%). We can see that the traditional Chinese medicine has already impressed many foreigners.
