Zhang Xichun (1860-1933) was a distinguish doctor during the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China and a leading proponent of the “school of converging and connecting Chinese and Western medicine (hui tong xue pai 匯衕學派)”. Although it was his declared goal to incorporate some of the useful mechanics (yong) of Western medicine into the traditional mother body (ti) of Chinese medicine, his parameters remained clearly “traditional at the core”. He was used to think about medicine and practice with the theories of Chinese medicine. Zhang advocated: "the western medicine used in the local is the focus of the disease.""By knowing Chinese medicine and Western medicine for help, honesty can complement each other." Zhang Xichun had made great contributions to the integration of Chinese and Western medicine.
