Abstract: The inheritance and innovation of traditional Chinese medicine are inseparable from its education. "The Basic Theory of Traditional Chinese Medicine", as the entry subject, plays an important role in the entire education of traditional Chinese medicine. However, due to its relatively obscure contents, it has always been a challengte and focus for teaching. Based on the concept of "student-oriented", it is proposed to apply mixed teaching with task-driven approaches in the teaching of the "Basic Theory of Traditional Chinese Medicine". It is hoped that during the process of completing tasks, students could master the corresponding knowledge to improve learning efficiency, and lay the foundation for later professional learning.

Key words: mixed teaching, task-driven, basic theory of traditional Chinese medicine
