Abstract: “wuxing”, the traditional Chinese medicine concept, plays an important role in TCM theory and clinical trials.

Based on detailed comparing different translations, exploring the deep meaning of the word, and discussing the integration of morpheme translation and transliteration, we put forward specific suggestions for improving the English translation of this concept.
