Human beings are a community with a shared future.Traditional Chinese medicine(TCM) is not only the crystallization of Chinese wisdom and practice in health care for thousands of years but also the common wealth of people all over the world.To actively respond to the Belt and Road Initiative，promote the overseas spread of TCM，and serve people from the countries participating in the Belt and Road Initiative，we expounded the present situation and existing problems of TCM overseas.On this basis，we proposed the approaches of overseas dissemination of TCM，which included one cornerstone，two key points，four paths，and one support.Specifically，one cornerstone refers to the therapeutic effect of TCM; two key points refer to high-level compound talents and good political and legal environment; four paths are academic exchanges，combination of government guidance with public participation，research cooperation，and “Internet+;” one support means the support from China's overseas TCM centers.
