Abstract：

The international communication of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) culture requires finding practical and effective communication methods through multi-dimensional, multi-path, and multi-channel approaches. The research on using Tai Chi to promote the international communication of TCM is still an unexploited new integrated communication path and a new topic with special significance for the internationalization of TCM culture. However, relevant research on this topic has not yet formed a systematic research system in academic circles at home and abroad. The prerequisite for studying how Tai Chi promotes the international communication of TCM culture is in-depth inheritance. The integrated research on the cultural connotation of Tai Chi, based on its return to the category of TCM culture, has important theoretical and practical value for promoting the integrated international communication of TCM culture through Tai Chi. This paper, focusing on the theoretical research on how to use Tai Chi to promote the international communication of TCM culture, proposes integrated research on Tai Chi and TCM culture, and establishes a "trinity" integrated research model of Tai Chi culture, TCM culture, and martial arts culture, laying a theoretical foundation for Tai Chi to promote the international communication of TCM culture. Secondly, in terms of the specific implementation of TCM culture communication with Tai Chi as the main carrier, it is proposed to focus on cultivating the TCM cultural literacy of Tai Chi communicators, and inject into the communication basic TCM elements related to Tai Chi culture, such as Yin-Yang philosophy, TCM culture, TCM Qi theory, and TCM health preservation, so as to sow the seeds of TCM culture wherever Tai Chi is spread internationally.
