To explore the optimal path of integrating traditional Chinese culture into the teaching of Basic Theories of Traditional Chinese Medicine, this paper takes the students of the 2023-level Chinese Materia Medica major and Class 1 of the 2024-level Chinese Materia Medica major of Youjiang Medical University for Nationalities as the research objects. Among them, the 2023-lev-el Chinese Materia Medica major adopted the traditional teaching method, while Class 1 of the 2024-level Chinese Materia Medica major implemented the teaching mode of integrating traditional Chinese culture into the Basic Theories of Traditional Chinese Medicine. After the course, evaluations were conducted through multiple assessment methods including questionnaires, phased tests, and final examinations. The results showed that the students of Class 1 of the 2024-level Chinese Materia Medica major were superior to those of the 2023-level Chinese Materia Medica major in terms of TCM syndrome differentiation thinking ability, autonomous learning ability, innovation ability, and problem-solving ability. Meanwhile, their overall final exam scores were higher than those of the 2023-level students, with statistical significance.
