Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM)which has the dual attributes of natural sciences and humanities is the gene of Chinese culture that can be inherited. Chinese medicine may be considered the best carrier for Chinese culture to be accepted worldwide. In this case, TCM translation can bridge East and West. This study is intended firstly to dig deeply into the cultural connotations of culture-loaded TCM terms by comparing them from different perspectives. Secondly, based on current English translations, such as yin and yang, this study aims to explore the cognitive thinking of culture-loaded TCM terms from the perspective of cognitive linguistics. Thirdly, suggestions for the translation of cultural-loaded TCM terms are put forward in order that the process of the standardization of English translation of TCM terms can be facilitated and a proper TCM discourse can be constructed.
