十一、二月是「嶺南中醫藥文化．旅學．2024」月，月曆上標記著各參與學校的出發日期。同學和老師們大清早於學校集合，乘搭旅遊巴士浩浩蕩蕩的前往廣州。因為這是走出課室、脫離平面資訊，吸收新奇的中醫藥文化的一個學習好機會，同學們都帶著無比的興奮。
一踏進「廣東中醫藥博物館」就看見樓高三層、600瓶宏偉的藥用植物原色浸製標本，吸引了大家的眼球。「是真的嗎？」看著大堂珍貴的犀牛標本，都不無發出讚歎。館內的展品繁多，遠遠超出同學的想像，靈芝、肉桂，原來可以這樣大型，抺香鯨原來是這麼珍貴！
「廣東省涼茶養生博物館」是傳統與科技共融的展覽館，在這裡，不但認識了涼茶典故，最深刻的還是可以親手用藥臼、藥碾搗藥，自製藥味濃郁的香囊。
點與點移動時，透過有關中醫藥的小遊戲，吵吵鬧鬧中到達飯館，晚飯後與醫師來個分享會，說一下香港的氣候特性如何影響日常飲食，中醫調配的藥包中如何包含「君臣佐使」，加上小遊戲，輕輕鬆鬆渡過快樂學習時光。
要走過才明白「華南植物園」有多大，沿途是各種中草藥植物，全都伸手可觸，導賞員讓大家嗅一下外表平凡但帶熟悉香氣的一片葉，那是可作驅蚊的檸檬桉，同學們雀躍地拾回家做紀念。來到園中的重點——超大型「温室」，一個同時包含熱帶雨林植物、沙漠植物、高山及極地植物等各種景觀的温室。有罕見的生長景觀如「獨木成林」、「奇妙絞殺」，又或「洞天樹」等，讓同學認識到植物的各樣生存進化。
還有「神農草堂中醫藥博物館」，中醫藥歷史以浮雕藝術展現眼前，博物館的園林佈局將各種歷史與文化相融，其中的藥用植物園有不常見的毒性中藥植物區，同學們都站的遠遠看「斷腸草」、「見血封喉」。「王老吉涼茶博物館」以多感官介紹涼茶歷史，透過歷史看見了涼茶文化對人民的關懷。
經過兩日一夜，雖然有點疲倦，但又充滿快樂記憶，大家帶著無形的、有形的，收穫滿滿的回家。因為大家在旅程中表現積極及享受，實在非常期待看到同學們的旅學報告，會由哪種視角回看這次「嶺南中醫藥文化．旅學」。
各參與同學的報告完成後將會上載到「嶺南中醫藥文化．旅學．2024」的網站予公眾閱覽。而「嶺南中醫藥文化．旅學．2024」網站已經上線，當中內容豐富，有參與學校的簡介、重點介紹旅學景點的特色、嶺南特式中醫藥與文化和充滿歷史足跡的製藥廠介紹，大家可以瀏覽網頁認識更多，或許屆時你也會期望可以多來一個嶺南中醫藥文化之旅。
稍後，將會有關於「嶺南涼茶」及「中醫藥文化與嶺南茶飲藥膳」的教育資源套上載網站，學校可下載資源套配合課程框架使用。
November and December are the months of “Lingnan Traditional Chinese Medicine Culture. Study Tour. 2024”, all the departure dates are marked. Students and teachers gathered at school early in the morning and took the tour bus to Guangzhou. Because this is a good learning opportunity to get out of the classroom, break away from graphic information and absorb the novel Chinese medicine culture, the students are extremely excited.
As you step into the “Guangdong Chinese Medicine Museum”, the three-story height 600 bottles of magnificent original-color macerated specimens of medicinal plants attracted your attention. “Is it real?” Everyone looked at the precious rhinoceros’s specimens in the lobby and exclaimed in admiration. There are many exhibits in the museum far beyond the imagination of the students. Ganoderma lucidum and cinnamon can be so large. Scented whales are so precious!
The “Guangdong Herbal Tea Museum” is an exhibition hall that blends tradition and technology. Here, not only can learn about the herbal tea allusions. The most profound thing is that you can use the medicine mortar and grinder to pound medicine and make your own sachets with medicinal flavor.
During the move, we played mini-games about Chinese medicine and arrived at the restaurant noisily. After dinner, we had a sharing session with the practitioner. They talked about how the climate characteristics of Hong Kong affect daily diet and how is the Chinese medicine package included “Jun, Chen, Zuo, Shi” in it. We spent the happy learning time with mini games.
You have to walk through it to understand how big the “South China Botanical Garden” is. There are various Chinese herbal plants along the way within reach. The tour guide showed everyone a leaf that looks ordinary but has a familiar aroma. That’s lemon eucalyptus, which can be used to repel mosquitoes. The students happily picked it up as a souvenir. We came to the highlights of the garden - super large “greenhouse”. A greenhouse contains various landscapes such as tropical rainforest plants, desert plants, alpine and polar plants etc. There are rare growth landscapes such as “A single tree forest”, “Strangler fig” or “Columnar tree”, etc., allowing students to understand the various survival and evolution of plants.
There is also the “Guangzhou Shennong Cao Tang Zhongyiyao Museum”, where the history of traditional Chinese medicine is displayed in relief art. The museum's garden layout blends various histories and cultures. The medicinal botanical garden has an area of unusual toxic traditional Chinese medicine plants. Everyone consciously stood at a distance to see “Heartbroken Grass” and “Antiaris toxicaria”. The “Wanglaoji Liangcha Museum” introduces the history of herbal tea through multiple senses. We can see the care of herbal tea culture for the people through histories.
Although a little tired after two days and a night but full of happy memories, everyone went home with intangible and tangible rewards. Because everyone showed enthusiasm and enjoyment during the trip, I am really looking forward to seeing the students’ trip reports and their look back perspective on this “Lingnan Traditional Chinese Medicine Culture Study Tour”.
After each participating student’s report is completed, it will be uploaded to the website of “Lingnan Traditional Chinese Medicine Culture. Study Tour. 2024” for public viewing. The “Lingnan Traditional Chinese Medicine Culture. Study Tour. 2024” website has been launched. It contains rich content including introductions to participating schools, highlights of the characteristics of study tour attractions, Lingnan special Chinese medicine and culture, and introductions to pharmaceutical factories that full of historical footprints. You can browse the website to learn more. Maybe you will also look forward to take another trip to Lingnan Traditional Chinese Medicine culture.
Later, an educational resource packages will be uploaded to the website. Schools can download the resource packages for use in conjunction with the curriculum framework.
