Zhao taught in the Department of Pharmacy of Hangzhou Medical College 13 years, and taught three courses: medicinal botany, pharmacognosy and hygienic chemistry. At that time, there were no textbooks for these three courses in China. He teaches 65,438+06 hours a week. After school, he will collect information and compile teaching materials and handouts for these three courses. He often works late into the night and has no time to go out to explore the scenic spot of the West Lake on holidays, which is praised by all the teachers and students in the school.
Before the founding of People's Republic of China (PRC), he left his teaching post many times, but he always cared about education. 1929, after working in academia sinica, he criticized the Zhejiang education authorities for suspending the pharmacy department of Zhejiang Medical College for nearly three years in a speech entitled "Talking about Chinese Medicine" written for Nanjing Central Radio, and once again demanded that the pharmacy department be built into a pharmacy school. After arriving in Shanghai, he not only served as a professor of pharmacognosy in pharmacy major of Sino-French University, but also edited and published Modern Materia Medica Pharmacognosy (Volume I) with Professor Xu Boyun on the basis of lectures on pharmacognosy. This book not only quotes a large number of Chinese and foreign documents, but also absorbs his achievements in pharmacognosy research. It is the first textbook of pharmacognosy in China, which has changed the tendency that pharmacognosy only includes exotic herbs. Cai Yuanpei prefaced the book "Honesty is the barrier of traditional Chinese medicine in the new year of 2000, and its contribution to the medical field will be infinite". It is recognized by the pharmaceutical community that he is the pioneer and founder of modern materia medica and pharmacognosy in China. During my work in Peking University Institute of Traditional Chinese Medicine, I actively participated in the Pharmacy Department of Chuangchuang Medical College. He supported the teaching work with manpower and material resources, and brought reference books, drug specimens and microscope staining reagents used in the pharmacognosy classroom. After two years' efforts, a base for training pharmaceutical talents was established in Peiping, which laid the foundation for the later Department of Pharmacy of Beijing Medical College. During his stay in Beiping Army Hospital, he not only worked part-time in Beiping Municipal Pharmacy Workshop and Shenyang Medical College, but also called on the government education department to establish a pharmacy school based on the pharmacy department of Peking University Medical College through the proposal of the pharmacy society.
From 65438 to 0949, when he returned to teach in the Pharmacy Department of Peking University Medical College, he was nearly old. His lifelong dream came true, and he became more refreshed and worked harder. /kloc-in the winter of 0/950, he was blinded by glaucoma in his left eye due to overwork, but he still insisted on working despite illness. He drew up a teaching outline for the newly established pharmacy major and compiled lectures on pharmacognosy and practical pharmacognosy. 65438-0953, teaching biopharmaceutics. Based on the knowledge of materia medica accumulated in his life, he wrote a lecture note on materia medica, and earnestly taught students to love the medical cause of the motherland, learn Chinese medicine and study ancient books on materia medica.
In teaching, he prepares lessons carefully. The contents of practical pharmacognosy are all commonly used Chinese medicines. There were no ready-made textbooks at that time. Every time you talk about Chinese medicine, you have to consult a lot of books, prove it with physical specimens, draw pictures and so on. In order to ensure the teaching effect, he must distribute the lecture notes to the students before class. Zhao has been engaged in pharmaceutical education for more than 40 years, and has trained several generations of pharmaceutical talents for China, some of whom are famous pharmacists in modern China and some are the backbone of the pharmaceutical front in contemporary China.
