Chinese Attitudes toward Disease
中医对病的认识
According to Chinese cosmology, all is born from the marriage of yin and yang. Harmony between the two produces good health ； disharmony leads to disease. One of the major assumptions of traditional Chinese medicine is that disease is due to an internal imbalance of yin and yang, and so the strategy is to restore harmony and traditional Chinese doctors use acupuncture, herbs and special food to help correct yin-yang imbalance until the body returns to a healthy state. Another assumption is that each organ has a mental as well as a physical function，and all parts of the bodily whole are intimately connected.
据中国宇宙观，一切生命都是起源于阴阳的结合。两者之间的和谐产生良好的健康;不和谐导致疾病。一个传统的中国药学理论假设是病是由于阴阳的内部失衡产生的，所以策略是恢复和谐，中国传统的医生用针灸、草药和特殊食品来帮助纠正阴阳的不平衡，直到身体恢复到健康状态。另一假设是，各器官有精神或物理功能，并且身体的整体的所有部分都是紧密相连的。
