To celebrate International Women’s Day and enrich the cultural lives of staff members, School of Pharmacy Zhejiang University organised a health management lecture entitled Wisdom of Traditional Chinese Medicine: Empowering the Women of the School of Pharmacy. The event aims to raise awareness among staff of caring for their physical and mental well-being by sharing insights from traditional Chinese medicine, whilst conveying the School’s warmth and care.

The event took the form of a combination of specialist lectures and interactive experiences. Centred on themes such as "medicinal cuisine and wellness", "acupoint therapy", "music and emotional regulation", and "Qigong exercises", it presented health management knowledge in an accessible manner and offered practical, scientifically grounded advice on wellness, receiving an enthusiastic response from the audience.

Following the lecture, the event moved on to a special hands-on session: a demonstration of the Eight-Section Brocade exercises. Everyone lined up in neat rows, stretched their limbs, and experienced the unique charm of this traditional qigong practice through each movement. Through breathing exercises, stretching and balancing movements, they relaxed both body and mind and harmonised their qi and blood.
