It is well known that the Chinese medical knowledge is a very complex system which is not only related to human body, human illness but also human activity, the environment of human living, the weather, even the states of other stars (including sun and moon) in the universe. Since there are so many factors should be considered for a doctor, it is almost impossible to use only the knowledge from text books and general logical inference, and usually is strongly dependent on doctors' experience. The associative inference for a Chinese medical expert system is based on fuzzy logic, neural networks, associative memory, concept structure and self-learning approaches. It can learn the Chinese medical knowledge from the supervises of expert doctors and from its working experience as a Chinese medical doctor in hospital.
