 Alternative medicine is traditional   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
The Nei Jing is largely incomprehensible to modern readers as it stands, but it has been the subject of a vast amount of later commentary and interpretation.
In modern times the training of traditional doctors has relied on textbooks of the Ching (Manchu) period (1644-1911); these in turn are based on writings of the Ming dynasty (1368-1644) and the line of succession can be traced back to the Han dynasty (202 BCE - 220 CE).
Since the cultural revolution, even the most recent texts have become difficult for most people to read, and it seems that the traditional medical system is beginning to be something of a minority interest within China itself; modern Chinese doctors are trained in a similar way to Western doctors.
