 ====3.1 Translation Strategy of Culture-loaded Words of Syndrome====
-The translation of the syndrome affects the readability of the whole translation. ''Treatise on Febrile Caused by Cold'' has been written for a long time, and the simple structure of syndrome name carries a lot of information, so there are few modern terms that can be matched with ancient syndrome names. According to the methods mentioned above, most of the terms of traditional syndrome names belong to culture-loaded words. The author selected the syndrome -type culture-loaded words in Treatise on Febrile Caused by Cold translated by Professor Luo Xiwen to study the translation strategies of these words.

The author selected the syndrome -type culture-loaded words in ''Treatise on Febrile Caused by Cold'' translated by Professor Luo Xiwen to study the translation strategies of these words.
 There are several syndromes mentioned in translation of Professor Luo: “太阳病” “阳明病” “少阳病” “太阴病” “少阴病” “厥阴病” “霍乱病” “阴阳易差后劳复病”. Sheng Jie believes that the translation of the syndrome name should be accurate first, then concise, and there is no need to overemphasize formal equivalence(Sheng Jie, 2013:15). When the meaning of the syndrome name has the corresponding words of Western medicine, the literal translation method should be directly used, and when there is no word to use, the method of additional translation can be selected.

 ====3.3 Translation Strategy of Culture-loaded Words of Prescription====
-Treatise on Febrile Caused by Cold is the "ancestor of all prescriptions", which contains many culture loaded words related to prescriptions. Chai Hui has carried out research on the English translation of the prescriptions of Treatise on Febrile Caused by Cold, using the transliteration + literal translation + Latin notation of the "three insurances" translation method for prescription names to ensure that the translation is accurate and comprehensive(Chai Hui, 2010:703-704). Luo's translation mainly uses literal translation for such culturally loaded words. Examples are as follows.

 ====3.4 Translation Strategy of Culture-loaded Words of Philosophy====
-The philosophy of Chinese medicine is the ideological basis and theoretical guidance of Chinese medicine, covering Qi, Yin and Yang, and the Five Elements and so on. Among them, the theory of Yin and Yang is the main line of Treatise on Febrile Caused by Cold, which is expressed as two opposite sides of the same thing or two opposite things in a unified way. Jiang Mingde and others have analyzed the polysemous nature of the term "Yin and Yang" in Treatise on Febrile Caused by Cold, and pointed out that Yin and Yang can represent multiple meanings such as pulse location, pulse condition, disease attributes, pathological characteristics, etc(Jiang Mingde, 1992:7-8). The specific meanings in terms vary according to the environment and the translators different. Some examples are analyzed as follows.

 ===4. Conclusion===
-''Treatise on Febrile Caused by Cold'' is a classic work of Chinese medicine and a treasure of Chinese medicine culture. The translation and dissemination of this book has extraordinary significance for the promotion of Chinese culture and the connotation of Chinese medicine. The culture loaded words are the condensed form of the unique national culture, and their translation is related to the readability of the entire book. The English translation of culture loaded words in Chinese medical classics is an extremely complex cross-cultural translation activity. It not only takes cultural characteristics into account, but also reflects the characteristics of scientific and technological styles, which is a great test for the level of translators. Professor Luo’s translation of this book is the world's first fully translated English translation of TCM classics. The book was published earlier than most translations. Under the background of that time, Luo Xiwen's translation of Treatise on Febrile Caused by Cold is no doubt of pioneering significance.

Under the background of that time, Luo Xiwen's translation of ''Treatise on Febrile Caused by Cold'' is no doubt of pioneering significance.
 The translation strategies Professor Luo chooses are basically literal translation, free translation, omission, and transliteration, with few additional interpretations. Each of these translation strategies has its own advantages and disadvantages. The ultimate goal of translation is for readers to better understand the original text, and there is definitely a great similarity between the two different medical systems of Chinese and Western medicine, which cannot be separated. Literal translation can be used appropriately, and some of Western medicine terms can be used to express some concepts of that of Chinese medicine. Literal translation is a translation method that maintains both the original content and the original form. Generally, when the target language and the original language can express the same content in the same form, we will use literal translation. However, culture loaded words are the difficulties of translation due to the vocabulary vacancy in the target language. The use of literal translation seems to be contradictory. In fact, the choice of literal translation is also for the construction of the concept of TCM culture. Although Chinese medicine culture loaded words are not only a language full of Chinese national characteristics, but also a part of the world's national culture. We should also have full cultural self-confidence. In the translation process, we should dare to retain the national cultural characteristics, express the Chinese medicine culture with the conceptual language of Chinese medicine, and present the pure and natural Chinese medicine culture to Western readers, so as to increase the understanding, recognition and respect of the Chinese medicine culture. This is why Professor Luo extensively uses transliteration is his translation, which reflects his care and thought. At the same time, we have to admit that Luo’s translation also has its shortcomings, such as mistranslation or incomplete translation of culture loaded words with multiple meanings, omission of some modifiers, and no supplementary explanations for relatively large differences between Chinese and Western cultures. In the future, Chinese medicine Translation needs to continue to explore, innovate, revise and develop.

 ====2.2 The Classification====
-After finding out the culture-loaded words of traditional Chinese medicine, it is often necessary to classify and discuss them. Different scholars have different classification methods. Xu Xueyuan divided the culture-loaded words in ''Huangdi Neijing'' into basic philosophical concepts of traditional Chinese medicine, place names, traditional Chinese medicine terms and organs(Xu Xueyuan, 2018:148-149). Zhang Xuan divided the culture-loaded words in Su Wen into people's names, traditional Chinese medicine terminology, traditional Chinese medicine-related philosophical concepts, and other descriptive cultural load parts of speech(Zhang Xuan, 2009:12-16). Song Conghui and others divided the words of cultural load into: symptoms of traditional Chinese medicine, symptoms of traditional Chinese medicine, etiology and pathogenesis of traditional Chinese medicine, treatment of traditional Chinese medicine, basic philosophy of traditional Chinese medicine, etc(Song Conghui, 2016:121-122). Chen Zinuo and others divide the culture-loaded words of traditional Chinese medicine into five categories: syndrome, symptom, prescription, philosophy and rhetoric(Chen Zinuo, 2021:1698-1700). The latter includes the classification mentioned in the first three, and also opens up a rhetorical class to make the classification more detailed and clear. Therefore, this paper adopts Chen's classification method.

 === Abstract ===
 ''Treatise on Febrile Caused by Cold'', written by Zhang Zhongjing in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, is one of the "Four Classics" of Traditional Chinese medicine which uses six channels as guiding principles of syndromes differentiation and treatment. The book concentrates the traditional Chinese medical wisdom, which is both scientific and literary. The writing is smooth and simple, and the language is straightforward and vivid. A large number of rhetorical devices such as reduplication of words are used to reflect the beauty of Classical Chinese. Its multiple values have led more and more scholars to devote themselves to research, study and even translation and promotion, and a number of outstanding scholars have emerged at home and abroad to devote themselves to the translation work of this book. However, it is not easy to translate this book. China has an long history and profound culture, and the book contains many culture-loaded words. The translation quality of such words directly affects the translation quality, so it is necessary to adopt appropriate translation strategies. Therefore, the author chooses the version translated by Professor Luo Xiwen as the research blueprint to study the translation strategies of culture-loaded words in traditional Chinese medicine classics, in order to promote the translation of this book to a higher level.

 ===4. Conclusion===
-''Treatise on Febrile Caused by Cold'' is a classic work of Chinese medicine and a treasure of Chinese medicine culture. The translation and dissemination of this book has extraordinary significance for the promotion of Chinese culture and the connotation of Chinese medicine. The culture loaded words are the condensed form of the unique national culture, and their translation is related to the readability of the entire book. The English translation of culture loaded words in Chinese medical classics is an extremely complex cross-cultural translation activity. It not only takes cultural characteristics into account, but also reflects the characteristics of scientific and technological styles, which is a great test for the level of translators. Professor Luo’s translation of this book is the world's first fully translated English translation of TCM classics. The book was published earlier than most translations. Under the background of that time, Luo Xiwen's translation of Treatise on Febrile Caused by Cold is no doubt of pioneering significance.
