Takeaway of Chinese Medicine Culture on Campus – “Traveling through Time and Space, Learn from a Master”
中醫藥文化的校園外帶—「穿越時空 拜師學藝」
In December, we worked with Yaumatei Catholic Primary School (Hoi Wang Road) to plan a “Theme Learning Week” on Chinese medicine culture. The theme was “Traveling through time and space, learning from a master”. Conduct various learning and experience activities under the guidance of a tutor.
The themes are divided into five groups, namely Culture, Health Preservation, Syndrome Differentiation, Meridians and Materia Medica. Students will apprentice according to their groups and then embark on several days of learning and experience. The Cultural group focuses on healthy living and moral education; the Health Preservation group combines both dynamic and static activities, learning the “Campus Wuqinxi” to keep fit and absorbing the unique culture and significance of Lingnan herbal tea; the Syndrome Differentiation group explores the health concept of traditional Chinese medicine and takes into account the impact of personal constitution; The Meridian group learned everything from the concept of meridian acupoints to the various methods of TCM for treating internal diseases with external treatments; the Materia Medica group understood the principles of herbal medicine in treating diseases through the classification of Chinese medicine and the understanding of the four qi and five flavors.
In addition to classes and workshops, the students were most excited to go out of campus and visit the Baptist University Chinese Medicine Museum, listen to and taste the history and authentic taste of Herbal Jelly at the Hoitintong Main Store and get to the pharmacy and clinic of Chinese Medicine For All (CMA) to learn about Medicine and herbs.
The results of the “Theme Learning Week” were gathered at the weekend. The school auditorium has become a hall for display and sharing. The team members showed what they had learned to students, parents and guests of all levels. They demonstrated the Campus Wuqinxi, transformed into doctors to explain the nine types of body constitutions, played a short play about traditional Chinese medicine stories written, directed and performed by the team, and demonstrated the homemade meridian medicine hammer and the unique “Classic of Materia Medica”, all the themed booths were crowded with curious audiences, giving out happy laughter and heartfelt praise.
The day’s herbal painting exhibition, glass cabinets and free consultations by Chinese medicine practitioners made the entire learning and sharing experience a complete and rich one.
Through a week of learning and experiencing the theme of TCM culture, we are very happy that students can deepen their understanding of TCM culture, transcend the flat impression of seeing a doctor and taking medicine, and thus take root in their daily lives.
剛過去的12月，我們與油蔴地天主教小學(海泓道)合作策劃了一個中醫藥文化的「主題學習週」，主題是「穿越時空，拜師學藝」，讓六年級的同學在中醫師及導師帶領下進行各項學習與體驗。
這次的主題分為五組，分別是文化、養生、辨證、經絡和本草，同學依組別進行拜師，然後展開一連數天的學習和體驗。文化組重在健康生活與德育文化；養生組動靜兼備，既學習健體「校園五禽戲」，亦吸收嶺南涼茶的獨特文化和意義； 辨證組探索中醫的健康理念，並關顧個人體質的影響；經絡組從經絡穴位概念到中醫內病外治的各種方法，一氣貫通；本草組透過中藥分類和四氣五味的認識，明白本草治病的原理。
除了課堂及工作坊，同學們最雀躍的是可以走出校園，參觀浸會大學中醫藥博物館，在海天堂總店一聽一嚐龜苓膏的歷史與真味，到全仁中醫診所藥房認識和接觸醫與藥。
「主題學習週」的成果滙聚於周末。學校的禮堂成為展示與分享的殿堂。組員面向各級同學、家長和來賓，展現所學所得，示範五禽戲健康操，化身醫師講解九型體質，播放編導演於一身的中醫藥典故短劇，展示自製的經絡藥錘與獨一無二的「本草經」，令各個主題攤位前都擠滿好奇的觀眾，發放歡樂的笑聲和衷心的讚賞。
當日配合本草畫展、玻璃百子櫃和中醫師義診，讓整個學習和分享合奏出完整與豐盛的體驗樂章。
通過一週的中醫藥文化主題學習和體驗，我們很高興同學們可深化對中醫藥文化的認識，超越了看病吃藥的平面印象，從而植根生活日常。
