THE ART OF HEALING nghe thuat chua benh

As with so much, the medicine of the Tang dynasty left its European counterpart in the shade. It boasted
its own ‘national health service’, and left behind the teachings of the incomparable Sun Simiao

If no further evidence was available of the sophistication of China in the Tang era, then a look at Chinese
ddur taay a la mã
medicine would be sufficient. At the Western end of the Eurasian continent the Roman empire had
bien mat danh hieu, tuoc hieu
vanished, and there was nowhere new to claim the status of the cultural and political centre of the world.
In fact, for a few centuries, this centre happened to be the capital of the Tang empire, and Chinese
medicine under the Tang was far ahead of its European counterpart. The organizational context of health
and healing was structured to a degree that had no precedence in Chinese history and found no parallel
elsewhere. dc cau truc hoa trong 1cai chuong trinh ma khong co 1 tien le va ko tim dc 1 cai sanh dc

An Imperial Medical Office had been inherited from previous dynasties: it was immediately restructured

and staffed with directors and deputy directors, chief and assistant medical directors, pharmacists and

Physicians were given positions in governmental medical service only after passing qualifying

In 723 Emperor Xuanzong personally composed a general formulary of prescriptions recommended to
him by one of his imperial pharmacists and sent it to all the provincial medical schools. An Arabic
traveler, who visited China in 851, noted with surprise that prescriptions from the emperor’s formulary
were publicized on notice boards at crossroads to enhance the welfare of the population.

The government took care to protect the general populace from potentially harmful medical practice. The
Tang legal code was the first in China to include laws concerned with harmful and heterodox medical

practices. For example, to treat patients for money without adhering to standard procedures was defined

as fraud combined with theft and had to be tried in accordance with the legal statutes on theft. If such

In fact, physicians practicing during the Tang era had access to a wealth of pharmaceutical and medical
texts, their contents ranging from purely pragmatic advice to highly sophisticated theoretical
considerations. Concise descriptions of the position, morphology, and functions of the organs of the
human body stood side by side in libraries with books enabling readers to calculate the daily, seasonal
and annual climatic conditions of cycles of sixty years and to understand and predict their effects on
health. concise: cô ddojng morphology: hinh thai hoc

Several Tang authors wrote large collections of prescriptions, continuing a literary tradition documented
since the 2nd century BC. The two most outstanding works to be named here were those by Sun Simiao
tác pham
(581-6 82?) and Wang Tao (c.670-755). The latter was a librarian who copied more than six thousand
=classify: phân loai
formulas, categorized in 1,1 04 sections, from sixty-five older works and published them under the title

Waitai miyao. Twenty-four sections, for example, were devoted to ophthalmology. They reflect the Indian
origin of much Chinese knowledge on ailments of the eye and, in particular, of cataract surgery.phau thuat

thuy tinh the
Sun Simiao was the most eminent physician and author not only of the Tang dynasty, but of the entire
first millennium AD. He was a broadly educated intellectual and physician; his world view integrated
ddaodao giáo
notions of all three of the major currents competing at his time - Confucianism, Daoism and Buddhism.

Sun Simiao gained fame during his lifetime as a clinician (he was summoned to the imperial court at least
dc triieeu tâp
once) and as author of the Prescriptions Worth Thousands in Gold (Qianjinfang) and its sequel. In
haaujj quyen sau nay
contrast to developments in the 1 2th century, physicians relied on prescriptions and single substances to

treat their patients’ illnesses. The theories of systematic correspondences, characteristic of the
acupuncture tradition, had not been extended to cover pharmacology yet.

Sun Simiao rose to the pantheon of Chinese popular Buddhism in about the 1 3th century. He was revered
trí nhó tâp the/ collective rape
as paramount Medicine God. He gained this extraordinary position in Chinese collective memory not only

because he was an outstanding clinician and writer, but also for his ethical concerns. Sun Simiao was the
phuwsc tapj quan tam dao duc
first Chinese author known to compose an elaborate medical ethical code. Even though based on

Buddhist and Confucian values, his deontology is comparable to the Hippocratic Oath. It initiated a

debate on the task of medicine, its professional obligations, social position and moral justification that

Despite or - more likely - because of its long- lasting affluence

did not add any significantly new ideas to the interpretation of illness, health and healing. Medical

thought reflects human anxieties; changes in medical thought always occur in the context of new
existential fears or of fundamentally changed social circumstances. Nevertheless, medicine was a most
