The International Congress of Luobing Theory has been successfully held 22 times and has exerted wide influence, serving as an important platform for promoting academic exchanges on Luobing theory and innovative collaboration between Chinese and Western medicine.

The vitality of traditional Chinese medicine lies in inheritance and innovation.
