1. Understand the basic theory of TCM.
The basic theories of TCM include five movements and six qi, yin and yang and five elements, which are derived from classic works such as Huangdi Neijing and Treatise on Febrile Diseases. You can understand the basic theory of TCM by reading these classic works or related textbooks.
2. Systematically learn the diagnostic methods of traditional Chinese medicine.
The diagnostic method of traditional Chinese medicine is hopeful, sniffing, asking and feeling, that is, by observing the body, voice, asking and pulse. Acupuncture, massage, Chinese medicine and other Chinese medicine therapies also need to adopt different treatment methods for different diseases. Therefore, I suggest that you systematically study the diagnostic methods and treatment principles of traditional Chinese medicine, and practice regularly to enhance your diagnostic ability.

This course is easy to understand, from introductory to advanced, systematically learning the basic knowledge of traditional Chinese medicine, establishing correct thinking of traditional Chinese medicine, and helping students deepen their understanding of traditional Chinese medicine through practical modules.
