In the process of curing lives, the medical practitioners have to make selections from various methods of treatment. These selections are based of the accumulation of knowledge, experience and judgment of technology as well as the controversy of many guidelines, such as norm of ethics and norm of laws. Under the impact of Western medicine in the late-Qing dynasty, traditional Chinese medicine has faced not only the questioning in theory and clinic treatment, but also the severe challenges in medical norms. Western medicine even intended to drive traditional Chinese medicine practitioners out of so called the group of 'doctor' by means of medical laws. It was evident that changes of norm influenced traditional Chinese medicine were more direct and realistic. This article attempts to analyze the challenges confronted in medical ethics or in medical laws to traditional Chinese medicine from the angle of traditional Chinese medicine practitioners in modern China. It also tries to understand the conflicts, changes and influence of medical norms between traditional Chinese medicine and Western medicine. Traditional Chinese medicine practitioners have reflected on the root caused its medical dilemma in modern China. In order to improve the knowledge and reliability, they considered "to learn from each other, to share each other", "to be united and cooperative", "Don't criticize fellows" and so on as crucial elements of modern traditional Chinese medicine ethics. They set standards for members' medical ethics, restricting members, maintaining group image and good practice environment. Furthermore, after they were more aware of the importance of participating in the development of medical laws, they mobilized the power of the community, requiring the Government to abolish the ban on health administration to curb excessive external interference in the development of traditional Chinese medicine. They also encouraged fellows to take part in politics so as to strive for and protect the rights of traditional Chinese medicine groups.
