Abstract: The teaching of traditional Chinese medicine classic courses is the core of traditional Chinese medicine education. The author has summarized years of experience in teaching the course Treatise on Febrile Diseases and formed the course of Pondering on Treatise on Febrile Diseases to students majoring in nine-year undergraduate and doctoral programs in traditional Chinese medicine. This course adopted theme-based teaching. In the early stage of simulated medical record teaching research, 24 teaching themes were condensed. Through various methods such as classroom questioning, organizing discussions, consulting literature, and sharing experiences, the course stimulates students' learning enthusiasm and subjective initiative. In response to the multidimensional teaching and training model, in addition to the traditional subjective written test, this course also attempts to introduce various assessment methods such as students trial batch, trial diagnosis, trial writing and trial lecture, in order to explore the construction of a classification and evaluation system for this course. Besides students of traditional Chinese medicine undergraduate and doctoral programs, this teaching and evaluation model can also be expanded and attempted to conduct tiered teaching assessments in related courses such as traditional Chinese medicine graduate students and clinical Chinese medicine practitioners, in order to cultivate their post competence.

Key words: traditional Chinese medicine classic education, Pondering on Treatise on Febrile Diseases, theme-based teaching, curriculum classification and evaluation system, ladder-based teaching and assessment
