Deeply rooted in the profound Chinese culture, Traditional Chinese Medicine is the outstanding representative of global traditional medicine. TCM believes that disease diagnosis, treatment and health keeping should aim at naturalness, wholeness, balance and coordination, and acts in accordance with the core concept of ecological civilization. With a wealth of wisdom in health care, TCM emphasizes on prevention which is beneficial in cultivating a healthy lifestyle and able to cope with related issues of modern times such as accelerated aging problems and the increase of sub-health population. The effort of helping people restore and enhance the self-healing function, share mutual inspiration with current exploration of immunization and naturopathic therapy. It plays an important role in improving the health condition in the poverty stricken areas by addressing drug abuse or over treatment with natural medicine, acumoxi (acupuncture and moxibustion), which prove to be convenient and effective.

We sincerely hope that the Qihuang TCM Experiencing Center for Foreign Dignitaries of the World Cultural Forum (Taihu, China) can do well in telling TCM stories, letting people of different cultural background better understand the profound cultural wisdom of TCM, so as to promote the role of TCM in dealing with the new challenge of modern times and protecting human health in the new era.
