We described our understanding of EBM, the ‘three principles＇ and ‘five steps＇ to practice it. EBM is an embodiment of human moral rule and axiom in clinical medicine; it is an advanced clinical model and medical practical methodology; it results from a basis of developed and perfected clinical research methodology, best evidence database, information technology. We also discussed the relationship between EBM and traditional Chinese medicine （TCM） modernization. The definition of modernization of TCM was suggested as scientifical standardization and internationalization. TCM theory in fact is not a basic but a clinical practice theory. EBM model should become the standard model of TCM practice to accelarate the standardization of TCM diagnostic technique and therapy. The key is not try to explain TCM theories with modern medical theroies, but work out common effectiveness evaluation criteria. Only when the effectiveness is intemationally acknowledged, can TCM be internationalized.
