Abstract:
The mutual learning between Chinese and Western civilizations today provides a broad perspective and new opportunity for the development of traditional Chinese medicine （TCM）， fostering the interdisciplinary integration， fusion， and innovation of the discipline. The premise of mutual understanding of civilizations is uphold the principles of Chinese traditional scholarship and original thinking， overcome academic barriers and cognitive differences， and achieve the organic integration of knowledge systems and research methods. The development of TCM as a discipline should first be based on literature as a carrier to convey ideas and ensure the continuity of the academic tradition. Secondly， the discipline development should be guided by the unique， original thinking of TCM， accurately identifying the bottlenecks in its development， focusing on the key links for improvement， continuously exploring innovative academic paths， and striving to build a leading research platform. Finally， the cultivation of talents in the field of TCM discipline should focus on leading ones with international academic discourse power and influence， and establish an academic team with clinical thinking and interdisciplinary knowledge structure.
