On 20 April 2026, in celebration of International Chinese Language Day, the Confucius Institute of Chinese Medicine at the University of the Western Cape held a well-received event titled “Lighting Up Dreams – A Cultural Journey from Acupuncture to Tea.” More than 60 students and staff took part.
The event focused on traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) and offered a mix of talks and hands-on activities, giving participants a practical and engaging introduction to Chinese culture.
In the herbal medicine session, a TCM teacher explained the basic properties of common herbs and their role in everyday wellness. The talk was clear and relatable. After that, participants got creative by turning herbs into small items like hairpins and necklaces. This hands-on craft activity helped people connect with herbal culture in a fun and memorable way.
The TCM experience also included acupuncture and cupping treatments, carried out by qualified practitioners. Each participant received personal attention, with the practitioners explaining how the treatments worked and why they suited each person’s condition. This made the core ideas of TCM—especially its focus on individual care—easy to understand.
Held under the banner of International Chinese Language Day, the event successfully brought together Chinese language learning and TCM in a lively, down-to-earth format. It added energy to campus life and gave students and staff from different backgrounds a simple, enjoyable way to connect with Chinese culture.
