Abstract:
[Objective]To explore the issues in the"14th Five-Year Plan"textbook Formulology and propose corrective suggestions,aiming to deepen students'understanding of formulology knowledge and contribute to the cultivation of high-quality and versatile talents in traditional Chinese medicine(TCM).[Methods]Through consulting the ancient books and literatures,the source research of the prescriptions involved in the teaching materials was carried out.Combined with clinical practice and TCM theory,the indications and functions of the formulas were analyzed to ensure the descriptions accurate and clinically significant.The explanation of formula composition was deepened from the perspectives of compatibility principles and drug interactions.The accuracy and logic of formula mnemonics(Fangge)were optimized.Ideological and political elements were skillfully integrated to cultivate students'medical ethics,professional and social responsibility.Suggestions were also made to address improper layout issues.[Results]The textbook was rich in content and systematic in structure,but minor issues remain in areas such as formula origins,indications and functions,formula explanation,formula mnemonics,ideological integration and layout.Through literature review,the origins of formulas such as Xijiao Dihuang Decoction,Sijunzi Decoction and Ganlu Xiaodu Pill were researched deeply,and the source information was corrected.The indications and functions of formulas like Houpo Wenzhong Decoction,Wumei Pill,and Suzi Jiangqi Decoction were reanalyzed,enhancing their clinical relevance.The new explanation of Daochi Powder,Shenqi Pill,Zhengan Xifeng Decoction,Sanren Decoction,Lianpo Decoction and Dahuang Mudan Decoction was introduced to enhance students'understanding of the principles of prescription compatibility and clinical application.The mnemonics for formulas like Puji Xiaodu Drink and Sanzi Yangqin Decoction were revised for greater accuracy and logic.Innovative ways of integrating ideological and political elements were adopted,which complemented formulary knowledge and promote the improvement of students'comprehensive quality.For layout issues,such as the misplaced"Application"section of Qingqi Huatan Pill,a comprehensive proofreading was recommended to ensure proper placement and coherence of all sections.[Conclusion]By exploring specific issues in the Formulology textbook under the"14th Five-Year Plan"—including formula origins,indications and functions,formula explanation,formula mnemonics,ideological and political education integration,and layout—and proposing targeted revisions,this initiative enhances the textbook's academic rigor and practicality.It provides high-quality educational resources for TCM education,thereby fostering the cultivation of well-rounded TCM professionals with solid theoretical foundations,specialized skills and comprehensive quality.
