Philosophy plays an important role in promoting the progress of the times

and it can also provide a referential way of thinking as well as methodology for scientific researches of traditional Chinese medicine（TCM）. Contemporary scientific researches of TCM integrate the humanity and natural science

which can be divided into two directions: researches on TCM and TCM researches. The former mainly use the method of modern science

while the latter mainly focus on Chinese philosophy and traditional science. From the perspective of philosophy

both sections have their own strengths and weaknesses. Only by promoting the integration of TCM and Western medicine

on the basis of TCM mode of thought

can complementary advantages of each other be achieved

and therefore the value and significance of TCM researches be realized. The introduction of the phenomenology helps to interpret TCM in multiple dimensions and in depth

to compare the similarities and differences between TCM and modern science

and to realize the communication of Chinese and Western thoughts

which is worthy of further researches.
