The conflict between Chinese and western
Understanding of "scrapping".
Chinese culture is extensive and profound. Different interpretations of the concept of Yin and Yang are a kind
of expression of Chinese traditional culture, while western culture is completely different from ours. When two cultures meet, cultural conflict is inevitable.
In gua sha, xu tried to explain gua sha in court. "this is a traditional Chinese medicine treatment. Chinese medicine believes that the body passes through seven veins and eight veins, just like countless streams flowing into a river. The human body is a complex vein of life. Qi flows through the body and sinks into the land."
The Americans were puzzled by xu datong's explanation.

The local capillary dilatation is caused by scrapping, so as to increase blood volume and blood flow, which is conducive to promoting blood circulation and improving the circulation of human physiological system. However, the bruising left on Dennis' back due to the scrapping was considered as maltreatment by the American doctors, who interpreted the bruising as a treatment, which was unacceptable to the American people. Different cultural backgrounds determine how people from different cultures choose another culture, and then determine their cognition and understanding of it, which will inevitably bring about cultural conflicts. What we can do is to integrate traditional culture with modern culture, so as to realize the understanding and communication between cultures.
