Abstract

As noted in Chap. 1, the use of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) has been around for more than 3,000 years. In its early period, due to difficulties of exchanging medical knowledge and clinical experience, TCM was practiced in various forms often dictated by different geographical and environmental conditions. With the rise of the Qin Dynasty that united China into a single empire with a standard writing system, the ability to exchange knowledge was greatly facilitated. This led to the first successful Yellow Emperor’s Canon of Internal Medicine (Huang Di Nei Jing), which remains an important TCM reference till today. This Canon comprises medical knowledge and clinical experience within the Qin territory.
