《中医名家与经典 TCM Celebrities and Classics》

中国传统医学是以阴/阳为基础的，与大自然的原则以及金、木、水、火、土五行互补，这些被古人认为是物理世界的基本组件。在遵守处方，中医（中国传统医学）的医生采取“治国”的原则，采用“君，臣，助手和向导”的原理，指的是通过处方的组成使各种部分发挥作用的战略。古中医医生由此把伦理和政治引进医学领域。

TCM Theory

Traditional Chinese medicine is based on yin/yang,with the opposing,complementary principles of nature and the five elements of metal,wood,water,fire and earth.These are believed by ancient Chinese to be the basic components of the universe.In complying prescriptions,traditional Chinese medicine doctors adopt the strategy of "governing a country"--the principle being to employ "monarch,minister,assistant and guide"，which refers to the various roles played by the components of a prescription.Ancient TCM doctors thus introduced ethics and politics into the realm of medicine.
