The Traditional Chinese Medicine and Pharmacy has gone through the thousand years of development, it has accumulated abundant of clinical diagnosis experience and precious literature resources, come into being a systematic science theories of life, unique syndrome differentiation system and the thought for health preservation and health care, contributed greatly to Chinese nationality vigorous and prosperous.Many domestic and international scholars are attracted by its unique charm; the scientific researches are surging up everywhere. Up to now the Chinese medicine and Pharmacy modernization study has nearly experienced 30 years of practice. Although Chinese medicine and pharmacy has achieved great success under the support of the government, the serious crisis exists. The "anti-opposite character" in the Chinese medicine and pharmacy area obviously appeared when a number of modern scientific techniques were introduced and transplanted. That is, modern scientific method cannot be used smoothly in modern Chinese medicine research work. For instance, the research of "syndrome", "meridians and collaterals", "viscera state" suffered setback seriously. It is difficult to clarify the connotation of Chinese pharmacology and compound Chinese medicine with the modern language. The modern research work once goes astray; "modernization of the Chinese medicine and pharmacology" becomes a popular and ponderous topic.On the moment the modern research work of the Chinese medicine and Pharmacy stays mainly on the stage where Chinese medicine and pharmacy theories, clinic practice and the mechanism of action for Chinese medicine are explained only with the western pharmacological science method and research means. But the western reductionism can only unilaterally annotate Chinese medicine and pharmacy theories. Owing to the problem we met in the research, the demand of rethinking of the methodology has been raised. Imitation and transplantation are not applicable for Chinese medicine and Pharmacology, and it needs an original, scientific methodology, which has its own characteristics. So the innovations of the methodology of the Chinese medicine and pharmacy are waiting to be created.This paper tries to explore and solve the problem in Chinese medicine modernization study methodology applying literature study method, cultural science, explanation science and so on, standing on philosophy and science methodology. Firstly, it sums up Chinese medicine modernization process in practice and makes clear its development motive and main problem than digs up the difference between Chinese and Western medicine methodology which causes the difficulties in Chinese medicine modernization.Secondly, aimming at the "paradox" strange circle in the modernization research work of traditional Chinese Medicine and Pharmacy carry through philosophic consider, as while as exercise postmodernism visual angle and perceive the modernization research work external, in order to expatiate the similarity between philosophic thought of TCM to postmodernism. Using postmodern production for reference, think over how to choose the way on research of traditional Chinese Medicine and Pharmacy. Though the recontextualization of Chinese and Western Science bring forward conditioness and oneness.Neatenning the origin and development of Science of Complety across-the- board, and researching contrastively on traditional Chinese Medicine and Western Medicine, this paper reveals that Chinese medicine pharmacy belongs to complexity science. The scientific basis for methodology of modernization of the traditional Chinese Medicine and Pharmacy is provided particularly using Complex Adaptive System (CAS). The paper puts forward the basic study frame and model for the principles of compatibility.Finally, the paper puts forward the methodology of research of the modernation of traditional Chinese Medicine and Pharmacy should follow six basic principles after combining study practice.Currently, it is not much to find out that the modernization of Traditional Chinese Medicine and Pharmacy methodology was studied applying postmodernism and Science of Complexity angle of view. The research of this thesis has certainly creative and difficulty, therefore the research result still needs further perfected.
