Abstract:
Strengthening the construction of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) discourse system for international audiences is necessary for enhancing cultural soft power, accelerating the construction of trade power, integrating into the global healthcare system, and realizing international scientific and technological dialogues.TCM not only garners widespread attention from the international community but also faces numerous challenges. The external discourse of TCM has fallen into difficulties, including blocked channels of expression, lack of a discourse subject, contextual segregation of discourse, and a narrative information flow deficit. Based on this, realistic approaches to breaking through dilemmas are proposed from four dimensions, that is, strengthening the construction of international standards for TCM to increase its recognition overseas, improving the development of international talent teams to enhance the visibility of TCM abroad, expanding the construction of the TCM service trade system to deepen its contribution overseas, and enhancing the efficacy of international communication of TCM to strengthen its reputation abroad.
