On November 17, Confucius Institute at Kansai Gaidai University held a cultural lecture on the theme of “Traditional Chinese Medicine and Health Preservation” at the ICC in the Middle Palace, which was welcomed by the students.

Traditional Chinese medicine is extensive and profound, and it is a precious treasure of the Chinese nation. It not only has a great influence on Japanese Chinese medicine and Korean Chinese medicine, but also has a far-reaching reputation in the world. Starting from the “Five Elements"” of Chinese medicine, the lecturer introduced the meaning of “Five Elements” as the theoretical basis of Chinese medicine, the famous Chinese medicine “Compendium of Materia Medica” and the important influence of “Artemisinin” invented by Tu Youyou on world medicine.
