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
