This chapter presents a critical analysis of the cultural struggle within traditional Chinese medical discourse. The findings reveal how the generic structure and the epistemological essence of the Chinese traditional practice are undermined by technologization of the language. The results also indicate that this trend toward a scientification of medicine tradition poses a threat to cultural integrity in general and to Chinese medicine heritage in particular.

Keywords:   medical discourse, Chinese medicine, technologization, scientification, cultural integrity
