The advent of the imperial examination system coincided with the emergence of a medical examination system, which served as the cornerstone for the subsequent evolution of medical education. According to historical records, the Song government established dedicated medical departments, along with comprehensive systems encompassing medical professors, students, and examinations. By examining extant medical historical documents, such as Tai Yi Ju Zhu Ke Cheng Wen Ge(《太医局诸科程文格》 Examination Answers and Standards of the Imperial Medical Bureau), researchers and readers can obtain a comprehensive understanding of the medical system that prevailed in the Song dynasty. While the intricate details of medical education during this era are not explicitly documented in historical records, modern researchers have the opportunity to uncover the entire view of medical education, particularly the medical examination system, through rigorous analysis of these extant historical medical documents. Such studies offer valuable insights into the developmental trajectory of the ancient Chinese medical examination system and provide crucial references for contemporary medical education. By conducting in-depth literature research and analysis of Tai Yi Ju Zhu Ke Cheng Wen Ge, this study endeavors to reconstruct the authentic scenario of medical examinations in the Song dynasty, as presented in the document, for the benefit of modern readers and researchers.展开更多

文摘Background:Anxiety and depression are prevalent among university students,calling for effec-tive non-pharmacological interventions.Tai Chi shows potential in reducing these symptoms,but research on its effects at different frequencies in younger populations is limited.This study compared the impacts of high-(5 ses-sions/week),medium-(3 sessions/week),and low-frequency(2 sessions/week)24-form Tai Chi on college students’anxiety/depression,versus a control group.Methods:A randomized controlled trial(RCT)included 120 university students with mild-to-moderate anxiety/depression,randomly assigned to 4 groups(30 each).The 8-week intervention used the Self-Rating Anxiety Scale(SAS)and Self-Rating Depression Scale(SDS)for assessments at baseline,week 4,and week 8.Analyses included paired t-tests(within-group changes),one-way ANOVA(between-group differences),repeated measures ANOVA(RM-ANOVA,temporal changes),and Mixed Model for Repeated Measures(MMRM,longitudinal changes with missing data).Results:All intervention groups had significant SAS/SDS reductions:high-frequency group(SAS:20.4%,t=7.21,p<0.001;SDS:22.1%,t=6.92,p<0.001)>medium-frequency group(SAS:18.3%,t=5.06,p<0.001;SDS:19.8%,t=5.18,p<0.001)>low-frequency group(SAS:15.2%,t=4.09,p<0.001;SDS:17.4%,t=4.67,p<0.001).No changes were seen in the control group.The high-frequency group outperformed the low-frequency and control groups(p<0.05);RM-ANOVA and MMRM confirmed sustained,time-dependent effects,with the high-frequency group being optimal.Conclusion:24-form Tai Chi effectively reduces college students’anxiety/depression,with efficacy increasing with frequency(high>medium>low).The high-frequency protocol(5 sessions/week)is the most effective non-pharmacological intervention,and MMRM confirms its sustained efficacy.

文摘The international communication of traditional Chinese medicine(TCM)culture requires finding practical and effective communication methods through multi-dimensional,multi-path,and multi-channel approaches.The research on using Tai Chi to promote the international communication of TCM is still an unexploited new integrated communication path and a new topic with special significance for the internationalization of TCM culture.However,relevant research on this topic has not yet formed a systematic research system in academic circles at home and abroad.The prerequisite for studying how Tai Chi promotes the international communication of TCM culture is in-depth inheritance.The integrated research on the cultural connotation of Tai Chi,based on its return to the category of TCM culture,has important theoretical and practical value for promoting the integrated international communication of TCM culture through Tai Chi.This paper,focusing on the theoretical research on how to use Tai Chi to promote the international communication of TCM culture,proposes integrated research on Tai Chi and TCM culture,and establishes a"trinity"integrated research model of Tai Chi culture,TCM culture,and martial arts culture,laying a theoretical foundation for Tai Chi to promote the international communication of TCM culture.Secondly,in terms of the specific implementation of TCM culture communication with Tai Chi as the main carrier,it is proposed to focus on cultivating the TCM cultural literacy of Tai Chi communicators,and inject into the communication basic TCM elements related to Tai Chi culture,such as Yin-Yang philosophy,TCM culture,TCM Qi theory,and TCM health preservation,so as to sow the seeds of TCM culture wherever Tai Chi is spread internationally.
文摘Catering in scenic areas is an important part of tourist experiences,yet the existing research on catering resources mainly focuses on tourist satisfaction and resource development,with limited analysis on the impact of catering resources distribution on tourists’visiting willingness.Thus,based on case analysis,surveys and data analysis,this study selected Mount Tai Scenic Area as the research object to conduct an in-depth investigation on the impact of the distribution of catering resources on tourists’visiting willingness,which identified many challenges faced by the distribution of catering resources in the scenic area and their underlying causes,finding that while there were rich varieties and concentrated catering options in high-traffic areas with strong tourists’visiting willingness,significant gaps remained in locations with weak tourists’visiting willingness.Furthermore,the overall catering offerings in Mount Tai Scenic Area demonstrated a notable deficiency in food products that authentically integrate with Mount Tai’s distinctive cultural heritage.To address such issues,improvement strategies were proposed for the development of catering resources in Mount Tai Scenic Area,including spatial development and integration,exploration of cultural connotations,and enhancement of tourism value,which provided insights for refining management of catering resources in forest park scenic spot,optimizing catering services,and enhancing the tourism experience of tourists.

文摘The medical education of the Song dynasty constitutes a pivotal aspect within the broader framework of ancient Chinese medical education. The advent of the imperial examination system coincided with the emergence of a medical examination system, which served as the cornerstone for the subsequent evolution of medical education. According to historical records, the Song government established dedicated medical departments, along with comprehensive systems encompassing medical professors, students, and examinations. By examining extant medical historical documents, such as Tai Yi Ju Zhu Ke Cheng Wen Ge(《太医局诸科程文格》 Examination Answers and Standards of the Imperial Medical Bureau), researchers and readers can obtain a comprehensive understanding of the medical system that prevailed in the Song dynasty. While the intricate details of medical education during this era are not explicitly documented in historical records, modern researchers have the opportunity to uncover the entire view of medical education, particularly the medical examination system, through rigorous analysis of these extant historical medical documents. Such studies offer valuable insights into the developmental trajectory of the ancient Chinese medical examination system and provide crucial references for contemporary medical education. By conducting in-depth literature research and analysis of Tai Yi Ju Zhu Ke Cheng Wen Ge, this study endeavors to reconstruct the authentic scenario of medical examinations in the Song dynasty, as presented in the document, for the benefit of modern readers and researchers.
