SIAS Chapter 259.1

Compared with the college entrance examination skills, what universities teach nowadays is more in-depth and specialized.

However, regarding this skill itself, a Level 3 – 2% is roughly equivalent to a slightly proficient level, which is somewhat lacking compared to the prestige of a university like Beijing University.

However, after entering the skill teaching mode of this skill and listening to the teacher introduce the learning content of the professional course, Yi Qingqing suddenly understood.

The professional courses of Traditional Chinese Medicine Pharmaceutical Major include Inorganic Chemistry, Organic Chemistry, Biochemistry, Physical Chemistry, Analytical Chemistry, Traditional Chinese Medicine Chemistry, Physiology, Pharmacology, Traditional Chinese Medicine, Formulae of Herbs, and Identification of Traditional Chinese Medicine.

There are more courses related to chemistry than those related to traditional Chinese medicine.

The Traditional Chinese Medicine Pharmaceutical Major focuses on how to use modern technology to extract effective components from natural medicinal materials, such as plants and animals, to create traditional Chinese medicine products.

Western medicine, on the other hand, primarily uses chemical synthesis.

The teachers who taught the course had previously learned the Western medicine manufacturing methods, and only later began to study the production of Chinese medicine.

They would refer to some pharmacology and prescriptions of traditional Chinese medicine, but none of the teachers had formally studied traditional Chinese medicine; they could only be considered researchers of Chinese herbs.

Yi Qingqing felt that ‘Traditional Chinese Medicine Pharmaceutical Manufacturing’ would be more fitting than ‘Traditional Chinese Medicine Pharmaceutical Major’.

At that time, the development of Western pharmaceutical manufacturing in China was still relatively backward, let alone researching traditional Chinese medicine pharmaceutical manufacturing using Western pharmaceutical formulation models; it was basically still in its infancy.

Therefore, the teaching level of this major was predictably low, so a Level 3 – 2% pass rate was not surprising at all. This level was only possible because it was Beijing University in the capital, where the teachers were all top-notch.

Despite this, Yi Qingqing still felt that there was much she could learn.

Her ambition was not to practice medicine and cure diseases, but to research effective medicines.

Western medicine has developed to a very advanced level in later generations, but there are still many diseases that can’t be cured because there are no appropriate medicines.

Traditional Chinese medicine and Chinese herbs, on the other hand, have been neglected and stagnated for many years.

Understanding and learning are for better application.

She needs to learn traditional Chinese medicine prescriptions and the use of chemical methods to research and prepare Chinese medicine.

It doesn’t matter whether the cat is black or white; as long as it catches the mouse, it is a good cat. She has no prejudice in this regard.

Even after further understanding the major of Traditional Chinese Medicine Pharmaceuticals, Yi Qingqing even considered signing up for a pharmaceutical engineering skill to learn about Western medicine’s pharmaceutical manufacturing process.

She’ll have to wait until she studies the sign-in locations on the map of Beijing University before trying it out. For now, she’ll focus on learning the Traditional Chinese Medicine Pharmaceutical Major skill, at least as a preview before classes start.

However, she couldn’t neglect her other major courses. Considering that these courses would be taken in class after the semester began, she only allocated the time she used to spend studying college entrance exam skills each night to Traditional Chinese Medicine Pharmaceutical.

Not long after she started studying, the lights in the dormitory were turned off, and the roommates also quieted down and stopped reading, but Yi Qingqing was still attending the class in the skill-teaching mode.

She studied until midnight before exiting the skill teaching mode and falling asleep in an instant.

At four o’clock in the morning, when her roommates were still asleep, Yi Qingqing opened her eyes full of energy and entered the skill teaching mode to study for another two hours. When she heard some movement in the dormitory and her roommates got up one after another, she pretended to get up, put on her clothes, and went down to wash up.
