Chinese medicine pervades Chinese culture, because it is Chinese culture. Some of its concepts are just basic--everyone here understands them. The West has its way of integrating this medical tradition, and it is slowly becoming an accepted part of what is called "alternative medicine".
But right now, I don't really care about that. I just like the fact that this toothpick holder in the restaurant where I am eating beef noodle soup (and it is very good, I must add) says, "Worried about internal heat? Drink Wang Lao Ji!"
