Chinese traditional medicine preparation, acupuncture, bone setting therapy...The Chinese Traditional Medicine area on the first floor of Zhongshan Traditional Chinese Medicine Culture Center shows the origin, development and innovation of traditional Chinese medicine. Entering the area, you'll feel like you are traveling back in time. The thousands of years of development history and the intangible cultural heritage of traditional Chinese medicine are "hidden" in this antique exhibition hall.

A few days ago, Zhongshan opened 11 shared culture centers to the public, showing the characteristics and essence of Zhongshan's history, culture and art in multiple aspects.

At the beginning of 2019, Zhongshan issued the Plan for the Construction of Zhongshan Pilot Shared Culture Center and selected 6 A-level shared culture centers, 2 B-level shared culture centers and 3 C-level shared culture centers.

These venues will combine their own businesses, functions and characteristics to set up permanent public cultural service projects and shared characteristic cultural service projects. They will open and share public cultural service space free of charge, and provide various rich and colorful public welfare or low-profit cultural services to the public.
