Recently, the scientific question argue noisily about the Chinese medicine traditional Chinese medicine. This article under this background, from the economy, politics, the culture, technical several aspects, discussed the Chinese medicine traditional Chinese medicine origin compared with the intently, attempts to elaborate for several thousand year Chinese medicine traditional Chinese medicine and the anthropology, sociological, the traditional culture relation. First, myth expression information, this studies ancient times a society's inevitable way; Second, has discussed the Chinese medicine, the traditional Chinese medicine and the technology specifically (tool) and so on evolution; Finally is the Chinese medicine social philosophy foundation.Because the vivid mark and the writing appear age by far late in human activity earliest time, thus often is until now extends to the human activity earliest record through the myth fable passes on. The myth had reflected in high antiquity productive forces level low situation, the people to strive for the understanding nature which, the control natural active demand survives, enhancement productivity to produce. The Chinese myth should be inherits with the antiquity time history, some myths are phase of real histories originally. For instance China's Shen Nong, since the fable the Chinese agriculture society's first ancestor, simultaneously is also the Chinese medicine traditional Chinese medicine earliest earlier worker. This both have some kind of inevitable relation, when our ancients by move about in search of pasture the migration tribe transfers gradually settles down when some environment agriculture society, definitely will appear with the primitive medicine which its adapts safeguards us ancestor's health. On this, the ancestor who Shen Nong simultaneously becomes the Chinese medicine is logical.Pre-Qin time "Shan Hai Jing", was records our country ancient times fairy story most ancient books. It is comprehensive, records the medicine historical data, the medicine knowledge, ancient times the medicine seed have provided the precious material for the research with the evolution. Only speaking of the medicine, "Shan Hai Jing" records the wonderful birds and beasts monster, the different grass treasure wood, is the myth zoology and the botany. These strange animals and the plant, have its medical effectiveness respectively, can govern many common and the uncommon illness, this tenth had the early myth nature medicine hygiene.The high antiquity medicine witch was the homology, the sorcerer had the astrology and physiognomy study knowledge, understood treated an illness with the herbal medicine, knew how to drive out the devil, the hope health, also has become in earliest significance doctor. The dance is Wu Jishen prays, expels sickness by the ghost fundamental mode. Along with the productive forces development, the medicine separates gradually from the witch, and has formed doctor this special occupation. This special occupation divided into the different scale, palace doctor and the folk itinerant doctors ancient times the medicine development has made the contribution for China.In a sense, the ancient Chinese medicine is uses for to treat disease, a maintenance health operative technology. It is closely related with the society, produces under certain social background, develops along with society's development, and reaction in society. Acupuncture was ancient times medicine apparatus' typical representative, it stemmed from the remote paleolithic period, is one unique medical method which our country ancient times the working people created, was one of traditional Chinese medicine important components, in formed, the application and in the development process, had the bright Chinese nation culture and the region characteristic, is precious inheritance which produced based on the Chinese nation culture and the scientific tradition. It was our country ancient times the working people wisdom crystallization, responded the productive forces from a side the level of development. The Chinese medicine keeping in good health thought and the Chinese ancient's advanced health idea also reflects the high social productive forces level.The traditional Chinese medicine is take the Chinese medicine theory as a foundation, uses in preventing and controlling disease's plant, the animal, the mineral and the finished goods, no matter produces in China or the foreign country, symmetrical traditional Chinese medicine. The traditional Chinese medicine had reflected fully aspect and so on our country natural resource and historical culture characteristics, have inseparable contacting with the agricultural civilization's founder. It originates from the work practice, is the human for several thousand years with the nature fight crystallization, with the local climate, the production method, the manners and customs has close contacting, and with gradually improves in the domestic and foreign exchanges. May say that the traditional Chinese medicine discovery and the development history was also the human survival and the development history, the traditional Chinese medicine follows the humanity to arrive from the ancient times the modern age.The Chinese medicine with China the ancient civilization inheritance was consistent, the Chinese medicine was in itself one traditional culture. The masculine and feminine elements five lines are one of Chinese medicine basic theories, but the masculine and feminine elements five lines mention at the beginning of are not medicine own theories, but ancient times in the middle of the philosophy used for reference from China comes, but this thought in turn has had the material effect to the philosophy. The Chinese medicine in chooses oneself rationale from the philosophy time, why more uses five lines saying that but the non-Eight Diagrams said that this is also this article has the interest to discuss. We saw that when the medicine just wished from the clever sorcerer gets rid time, nearly does not have the predecessor achievement which may the capital use for reference, also lacks the essential technological means to go to the inquire deeply human body structure, however is in such foundation, the ancient establishes a set of from that time's point of view very strict physiological pathology theory unexpectedly, this has no alternative but saying that is an astonishing achievement.The Taoism thought and the Confucian thoughts have had the profound influence to the Chinese medicine. The Chinese medicine does not satisfy only uses human body's terminology to explain that the nature and the life, the social politics ethics view also seeps. In the Chinese medicine theory, Mr., the feudal official, social terminology and so on high and low size will be omnipresent, human body solemn complete ethics society. This is also precisely Taoism and the Confucianist opposes the conflict focal point: Taoism tries hard to remove humanity's value judgment throughout, thought that the kernel, the ritual and so on these Confucianist's core viewpoint nothing but is the human society morbid state performance. Taoism thought in the human nature grows continually more importantly truly the instinct, it opposed the Confucianist discovered these are worth the humanity which takes seriously being in sole possession of the characteristic, but publicizes with the universe terminology knows the human, promulgates the life.China ancient times the medicine social role was complex is also contradictory.On their surface is the dissociation outside the political sagacious gentleman, but in fact, they have not stopped to the political expectation, "on the medical medicine country" is they through ancient times invariable personality pursue. They will treat an illness with the governing regard identical and so on, prepares to rescue the people frequently in the water and fire, during attention human body life, is also paying attention to the history and the society. As for China's scholar-doctors, practices medicine is only they realize its moral ideal method. May say that the medicine theory is the social politics theory on human body's one kind of performance or the extension.
