Abstract
Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) has a long history and has formed its own theory and system. Though difficult, translating the rich philosophical culture, integrated therapies and terminologies in TCM are a must in the process of TCM going global. However, research on publicity of TCM terms shows that there is much room for improvement. This paper analyzes the current status of translation and dissemination of TCM terms based on Lasswell's 5W theory and proposes some suggestions on how to improve the effect.
