If you visit Chengdu Shishi Union Middle School, you’ll find lots of Chinese herbal medicine specimens (中草药标本). All the beautiful specimens were made by the students.
Last month, the school organized students to dig herbs in the fields (田野) and make specimens. “I went to the riverside in Haibin Park together with my grandma,” said 13-year-old Lang Xiaohan. “At first, I thought the plants were useless. But in fact, they can cure (治愈) people’s illnesses. That really surprised me.” With the help of her grandma and online information, Lang picked some mulberry leaves (桑叶) and found that they can reduce people’s internal heat (祛火).
Hu Weibo made a specimen of Houttuynia. “In Sichuan, we usually call it ‘zheergen’, and my mom often uses it to cook delicious dishes,” said Hu. “But for the first time, I got to know that it is also a kind of Chinese herbal medicine, and that it can cure illnesses. I was so excited when I found it in the fields!”
Ms Luo from the school’s Student Development Center said that 525 students took part in the activity. Students not only learned more about herbal medicines, but also felt the charm (魅力) of traditional Chinese culture. They found it fun and useful.
