<title>Context-Driven: How is Traditional Chinese Medicine Labeling Developed?</title>
<shortdesc>To promote intercultural understanding in medical communication, this article studies a regulation issued by the Chinese government to standardize traditional Chinese medicine labeling. Then the author claims that the traditional Chinese medicine labeling is medicine-focused. This feature has its roots in traditional Chinese philosophy of stressing the context while de-emphasizing individuals. The author examines a particular medicine label to support his claim that the medicine-focused feature draws patients&apos; attention to the situations that cause disorders.</shortdesc>
