A cultural map of Traditional Chinese medicine
Foreign readers may hear about qi, yin-yang, meridians, herbs, acupuncture, cupping, tai chi, or food therapy as if they were one thing. A good first article separates the map before explaining any single practice.
What this module can safely do
It can explain vocabulary, history, cultural scenes, how people talk about TCM in daily life, and why some practices remain socially meaningful.
It should not tell readers what condition they have, what herbs to take, where to needle, or how to replace qualified medical care.
Four content lanes
A useful map separates foundations, acupoints and meridians, materia medica, and yangsheng movement. Each lane needs its own safety language.
Foundations explain terms. Acupoints explain the map, not needling. Herbs explain cultural identity and safety risks. Movement explains gentle practice traditions without promising cures.
