Shanghai University of Traditional Chinese Medicine (SHUTCM) held a special on-campus Open Day on Feb 15 for foreigners in Shanghai to experience the charm of TCM.
Fifteen foreigners from 14 countries participated in the event. They attended a TCM lecture, learned how to make TCM sachets, experienced the Chinese Five-Animal Exercises, and visited the Shanghai Museum of TCM.
The foreign participants said the event gave them a deeper understanding of TCM culture and they expect to take part in more activities to learn more about TCM.
During the Open Day, foreigners experience the Chinese Five-Animal Exercises, a set of animal-imitating exercises which imitate the motions of tigers, deer, bears, monkeys and birds. It has been the method for Chinese people to stay healthy and prolong life since ancient times. [Photo provided to study.edu.sh.gov.cn/en]
