The news that a teacher at Nanjing University of Traditional Chinese Medicine interpreted the "Spring Palace Map" in class has attracted widespread attention on the Internet. Some people think that this teaching method is inappropriate and violates the solemnity of traditional Chinese medicine; On the other hand, there are also people who believe that this is a misunderstanding and prejudice against TCM education. So, is it suitable for TCM teaching to explain the spring palace diagram?
Actually, the spring palace diagram is not something unseemly. As part of sex education, the purpose of the Spring Palace Chart is to help people understand and recognize their bodies more fully in order to better protect themselves and others. In TCM education, the Spring Palace diagram is regarded as an important educational tool to explain and elaborate the relevant concepts in TCM theory.
The teaching of Chinese medicine to explain the spring palace diagram does not mean that this way is vulgar or **. On the contrary, by interpreting the Spring Palace diagram, students can better understand some abstract concepts in TCM theory, such as the five elements of yin and yang. At the same time, this teaching method also helps students to better understand their physical and physiological needs, so as to better prevent and improve diseases. Therefore, it is reasonable to use the Spring Palace Diagram as an educational tool in TCM teaching, which is helpful to promote students' in-depth understanding of TCM theories.
For some people, it is difficult to accept the way of teaching TCM using the spring palace diagram. This is mainly due to the relatively conservative and closed attitude of China's traditional culture towards sexuality. However, as society continues to progress and develop, people's views on sexuality are gradually becoming more open and inclusive. In the field of modern medicine, sex education has been widely recognized as a necessary part of education.
As a long-standing medical system, the theory and practice of traditional Chinese medicine are deeply influenced by cultural heritage and humanistic spirit. In this sense, the Spring Palace diagram can be seen as part of the culture of Chinese medicine. Therefore, the explanation of the Spring Palace Diagram in TCM education is not only to help students have a deeper understanding of TCM theory and practice, but also to inherit and promote TCM culture.
However, for some people who are more traditional in their beliefs, the way in which the spring palace diagram is used in TCM teaching can be offensive. This reflects the more sensitive and cautious attitude towards sexual topics in China's traditional culture. However, this does not mean that the way TCM is taught is wrong. On the contrary, it should be noted that sex education has become a common educational content in many countries and regions around the world, which is conducive to cultivating healthy and rational sexual concepts.
In the international situation, as a part of the culture of traditional Chinese medicine, the spring palace diagram is also easier for international students to understand and accept. Internationally, sex education is widely recognized as a fundamental right, and the use of spring palace diagrams for sex education may be seen as a more open and scientific approach in some countries. Therefore, the use of the Spring Palace diagram in TCM teaching not only helps to spread TCM culture, but also conforms to the trend of international sex education.
In general, the way in which TCM teaching explains the spring palace diagram is influenced by traditional cultural concepts to a certain extent, but it also reflects the demand for sex education in social development. While maintaining the characteristics of traditional culture, we need to look at this teaching method more openly and rationally, and incorporate it into the system of modern medical education, so as to better cultivate students' comprehensive literacy and medical professional knowledge. As an ancient medical system, TCM has a profound cultural heritage and humanistic spirit in its theory and practice. As long as it is a normal teaching need, there is no fuss about explaining the Spring Palace diagram.
