Abstract

In the recent years, TCM has been becoming an increasingly popular topic in the society, disputes over TCM have been augmented in the meantime with the advance of modern science and technology, especially with rapid development of social media. In the modern age, science communication is bestowed with profound connotation rather than a simple combination of science and communication. This article tries to apply the science communication theory to analyze the relationship between disputes over TCM and its communication in history. It’s found that in terms of science communication, the disputes over TCM can be divided into three stages, and the audience-oriented theory plays an extremely important role in discussing how to address the disputes faced with TCM.
