as early as the Spring and Autumn and Warring States periods (770-221 B.C.).
The Yellow Emperor's Internal Classic, theearliest Chinese medical book, was compiled during this period, which laid downthe theoretical basis for traditional Chinese medicine.
The Chinese medical science regards the human body as an organism with main
and collateral channels at the core. It alsoregards the human being and other things
in nature as combinations of the twoopposites, yin and yang. The loss of balance between yin and yang gives rise to diseases, and to treat a disease is to
readjust yin and yang and enhance resistance to it by dispelling the pathogenic influences. Diagnosis is done by observation, ausculi tation and smelling, questioning, and pulse feeling and palpation. Symptoms which tell whether anint ernal organ is affected by exogenous harmful factors and whethera disease is caused by cold or febrile factors or by the deficiencyof vital energy to ward off diseases, aswell as the dialectical relationship betweenyin and yang and the dialectics of theviscera, are used as the theoretical basisfor clinical diagnosis.
