Have you ever seen the skill of identifying herbs by their scent? Have you ever experienced a high-tech version of pulse diagnosis?

Recently, students from the Science Club at China (Hong Kong) English School's primary section embarked on an extraordinary educational trip to the Zhongshan Traditional Chinese Medicine Cultural Museum, driven by curiosity and eager to explore the fascinating collision between ancient wisdom and modern technology.

▲Getting acquainted with TCM instruments

Inside the museum, guided by professional docents, students systematically learned about the history of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM). They carefully observed various medicinal herbs and ancient medical tools, actively participated in interactive digital TCM experiences, and diligently recorded observations according to their research task sheets. Through immersive, multi-sensory engagement - sight, sound, and touch - the students gained firsthand insight into the unique charm created by the fusion of traditional Chinese medicine culture and cutting-edge technology.

▲Experiencing the wonder of agarwood

As the classical adage states, "Knowledge derived solely from books is superficial; true understanding requires personal practice." This field study allowed students to step beyond the confines of textbooks, exploring scientific mysteries through hands-on experience. Not only did it broaden their scientific horizons, but also provided them with invaluable practical learning.

CHES has long emphasized science education, consistently using diverse experiential activities as vehicles for cultivating innovation and creativity. The rich insights gained from this TCM-themed study tour have further ignited students' passion for scientific exploration, filling them with excitement for the upcoming series of events in the school's Technology Festival. Through exploration and practice, students will sharpen their innovative thinking, enhance their scientific literacy, and steadily grow toward their goals, moving forward with determination and light.
