Regarding this movement, is important for Korea to clarify and reestablish the origin of traditional Korean medicine (TKM) to keep pace.Methods: Studied current cultural policy on TCM and revised the standpoint of Chinese scholars through papers. Conclusions: Though many researchers are aware of the necessity of cultural propagation of TKM, studies actually undertaken are scarce. Therefore, Korean researchers need to carry out more research on self distinguishing aspects of TKM and the propagation of its unique characteristics.  a1010-0695
