Analysis of the dissemination and development pathways of Traditional Chinese Medicine health knowledge in China

Against the backdrop of China’s aging society and under the macro policy of building a Healthy China proposed at the Fifth Plenary Session of the 18th Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, the dissemination of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) health knowledge has emerged as particularly crucial and imperative. This paper systematically examines the current status of TCM health knowledge dissemination in China. It identifies multiple challenges in the dissemination process, including multidimensional constraints related to content dissemination, media channels, and audience characteristics. Drawing on these findings, this paper proposes a strategic framework centered on high-quality content, with standardized media platforms as key hubs and audience empowerment as the ultimate goal.
