Abstract: Shanghai Association of Traditional Chinese Medicine was an important academic and professional Chinese medicine association during the period of the Republic of China. Against the background of fierce competition between traditional Chinese medicine and western medicine, the Chinese medicine circles in Shanghai established their own professional association in order to compete for discourse power and gain equal status. Since its establishment, Shanghai Association of Traditional Chinese Medicine has spared no effort to publicize the knowledge of traditional Chinese medicine, train talents of traditional Chinese medicine, and advocate Chinese medicine, and has made irreplaceable contributions to the development of Chinese medicine in Shanghai.

Key words: Shanghai Association of Traditional Chinese Medicine, competition between Chinese and western medicine, medical activities
