Shanghai University of Traditional Chinese Medicine has been hosting the "TCM Classics Reading Club" every week since March 2023. The club encourages international students majoring in TCM to study, reflect on, and apply the classics in their practice, helping them deepen their knowledge and enhance their professional skills.

The club is regularly led by alumnus Cai Yongsheng, a Malaysian graduate in acupuncture and tuina, along with mentors from the school's two youth mentor teams.

To date, the university has hosted 43 sessions. During these sessions, guest mentors from the youth mentor teams will be invited to share their knowledge and clinical experience with participants, exploring the classics and their practical applications together.
