Abstract Foreign students who have not received the basic education of traditional Chinese culture tend to have doubts about traditional Chinese medicine when they are studying the traditional Chinese medicine centered on syndrome differentiation and treatment. They even think that the individualized diagnosis and treatment system of traditional Chinese medicine centered on symptoms is nonsense. By trying to make the subtypes of disease in western medicine correspond to the syndrome differentiation and treatment of traditional Chinese medicine centered on syndrome, the problem-based learning (PBL) is used to carry out the teaching of traditional Chinese medicine for foreign students, which can stimulate their interests in learning traditional Chinese medicine, promote them to deeply understand the theory of traditional Chinese medicine, and make the teaching of integrated Chinese and western medicine more feasible. This teaching method is also applicable to education for doctors of western medicine learning traditional Chinese medicine.
