[Activity Review] Student Leadership Training Programme: “Meet Intangible Cultural Heritage – Exploring Chinese Herbal Medicine and Crafting Delicate Items”
[活動回顧] 學生領袖培訓計劃：「遇見非遺——探秘中藥材，巧手制好物」
為了弘揚愛國愛澳主題教育，讓大家在藥香之中領略中華傳統醫學之魅力，學生領袖培訓計劃成員於3月29日舉辦了“遇見非遺——探秘中藥材，巧手制好物”活動 ，是次活動由兩部分組成，包括中醫藥科普講座及香囊工作坊。
是次活動主講教授陳修平向學生介紹了中醫藥文化的起源，闡述了中醫藥的文化內涵以及它所蘊含的哲學思想，包括如陰陽相生，五行相克的哲學理念。陳教授以生動有趣的實例，說明中醫藥文化的宣揚需要取其精華去其糟粕。教授還講述了因為錯誤的中醫藥文化知識，而令中醫藥文化傳播產生難點。講座結束後，同學們對中醫藥文化興致斐然，積極於教授探討中醫藥文化的相關問題。
在隨後的工作坊中，同學們親自動手製作香囊及中國結，來感受中醫藥文化的魅力所在。 活動期間參與者非常積極互動，在香囊製作環節也認真參與。結束後，大家與自己製作的香囊合影留念，為這次活動留下一段美好的回憶。他們認為是次活動的收穫不僅是物質上的收穫，更重要的是了解了中醫藥的文化，並對其產生了濃厚興趣。
學生領袖培訓計劃於2020年起推行，旨在透過不同活動及訓練，培育及發展學生的領袖素質，提昇學生的領導能力和溝通技巧，加強他們的自信心及獨立思考能力，學員須於學期完結前籌辦不同主題的專項活動。有關計劃的招募及詳情，請瀏覽https://go.um.edu.mo/b2f9wuct。
In order to promote the theme of patriotism and love for Macau, and to let everyone appreciate the charm of traditional Chinese medicine amidst the fragrance of herbs, members of the Student Leader Training Program held the event “Meet Intangible Cultural Heritage – Exploring Chinese Herbal Medicine and Crafting Delicate Items” on March 29. This event consisted of two parts: a Chinese medicine science lecture and a sachet workshop.
In the lecture, Professor Chen Xiuping introduced students to the origins of Chinese medicine culture and explained its cultural connotations and philosophical thoughts, including concepts such as the interaction of yin and yang and the five-element theory. Professor Chen provided vivid examples to illustrate that the promotion of Chinese medicine culture requires the essence to be retained while the dross is discarded. He also discussed the difficulties in the dissemination of Chinese medicine culture caused by incorrect knowledge. After the lecture, the students showed great interest in Chinese medicine culture and actively engaged with the professor to explore related questions.
In the subsequent workshop, students personally crafted sachets and Chinese knots to experience the charm of Chinese medicine culture. Throughout the event, participants interacted actively and were fully engaged in the sachet-making process. At the end, everyone took photos with their handmade sachets, creating wonderful memories of this event. They believed that the gains from this activity were not only material but also included a deeper understanding and strong interest in the culture of Chinese medicine.
The Student Leader Training Program has been implemented since 2020, aiming to cultivate and develop students’ leadership qualities through various activities and training, enhancing their leadership abilities and communication skills, and strengthening their confidence and independent thinking. Participants are required to organize themed activities before the end of the semester. For recruitment and details about the program, please visit https://go.um.edu.mo/b2f9wuct.
