ABSTRACT

The human dimension of Traditional Chinese Medicine uncovers someof the core values of Chinese culture. This chapter serves as the backbone for the following chapters by highlighting how many aspects of traditional Chinese culture are applicable to this modern world. I believe the beauty of Chinese culture is that its essence resides in humanism, in the human heart, a view in line with those of Tang Chun-I ( ), a modern Chinese philosopher, in his monumental work on the spiritual value of Chinese culture (Tang 2000).
