The medicine History in China covers about 3000 years. The generalised supervision of doctors have been stated in the most ancient in the world to the medical book ' Nejtszin ', VI century BC

In the Chinese culture, as well as in many traditional cultures, knowledge of human reason, a body and treatment practice are integral parts of physiophilosophy and spiritual tradition. Representations of Chineses about a body were always functional, the emphasis became on coherence of all parts. The concept of physical body corresponds to complete functional system, the basic attention is given to structurization, instead of causal relationships. Chineses allocated system of mutual relations with internal dynamics and believed that all events in the nature have cyclic character of fluctuations between two poles ' in ' and ' jan '. The natural order is one of examples of dynamic balance between them. Interpretation ' in-jan ' is resulted in ' Itszin ' (' to the Book of changes '), created in 1st floor. I thousand BC In addition to this system Chineses used system ' usin ' for the description of the great structured order of space.

As a result of association there was a difficult system in which each aspect of the Universe was described as strictly certain part of dynamically structured whole. It has served as the theoretical base to diagnostics and treatment of illnesses. Illness is an infringement of balance when ' tsi ' does not circulate properly. Concept ' tsi ' in Ancient China used for a designation of vital spirit, energy. The current and fluctuation ' tsi ' supports a life in the person. There are certain trajectories of movement ' tsi ', known as meridians along which points akupunktury (lie for the first time are mentioned in medical books of the period of Sun (X-XIII centuries)) ). Health is balance. In the Chinese medicine the doctor is the wise man knowing interaction of all parts of the Universe, carefully registering the general condition of consciousness and a body of the patient and its communication with a natural and social environment. Therapeutic methods - some kind of the catalyst for process of own healing of the patient.
