While health is perceived as harmonious interaction of these entities and the outside world, disease is interpreted as a disharmony in interaction. TCM diagnosis aims to trace symptoms to patterns of an underlying disharmony, by measuring the pulse, inspecting the tongue, skin, and eyes, and looking at the eating and sleeping habits of the patient as well as many other things.In traditional Chinese herbal medicine, plant elements are by far the most commonly, but not solely, used substances; animal, human, and mineral products are also utilized.,,back,Kung Fu,,,Kung fu can be translated into Chinese martial arts, also called gung fu or wushu, are a number of fighting styles that have developed over the centuries in China. These fighting styles are often classified according to common traits, identified as “families“ (家), “sects“ (派) or “schools“ (门) of martial arts. Examples of such traits include physical exercises involving animal mimicry(模仿), or training methods inspired by Chinese philosophies, religions and legends. Styles that focus on qi manipulation(运气) are called internal (内家拳), while others that concentrate on improving muscle and cardiovascular（心血管的） fitness are called external (外家拳). Geographical association, as in northern (北拳) and southern (南拳), is another popular classification method.,back,Dragon,,The last picture is a western dragon. Dragon has been a symbol of China. It's a an auspicious(吉祥的) creature which is far different from the Western dragons. Chinese dragon symbolizes strength, wisdom, good luck and power over the elements of wind and water. As such, Chinese people proudly claim they're the descendants of the dragon. While in western culture, the dragon is said to be a large fierce animal with huge unguis(爪), wings and a long tail, whose whole body is covered by squamae (鳞片)and whose face just like crocodile（鳄鱼）’s. It is always considered as an evil symbol, and it can swim, fly as well as breathe out fire. At ancient times, the dragon was a symbol of evil, a sinister（阴险的）, hellish and ferocious（残忍的） monster that destroyed the life of human and therefore must be destroyed. The western people always consider the dragon as an evil symbol, and consider the hero who kills, destroys the dragon as a saint, and who is worshiped by human beings.,IV.
