title: [Contributions of Shanghai physicians originated in Jiangsu province to traditional Chinese medicine in the Republic of China].
abstract: The community of Shanghai physicians originated in Jiangsu province played an important role in the development of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) during the period of the Republic of China. They acclimatized themselves to the social trend to establishing the medical schools, associations, journals and hospitals. For the survival rights of TCM, they led the TCM professionals to fight hard against those who, either in the society or in the government, wanted to abolish TCM and made outstanding contributions to the survival and further development of TCM. Their enterprising, innovative and indomitable spirit is our precious fortune needed to be inherited and developed.
