The Making of Modern Chinese Medicine, 1850-1960 true By:Bridie Andrews Published on 2014-04-01 by UBC Press Medical care in nineteenth-century China was spectacularly pluralistic: herbalists, shamans, bone-setters, midwives, priests, and a few medical missionaries from the West all competed for patients. This book examines the dichotomy between |Western| and |Chinese| medicine, showing how it has been greatly exaggerated. As missionaries went to lengths to make their medicine more acceptable to Chinese patients, modernizers of Chinese medicine worked to become more |scientific| by eradicating superstition and creating modern institutions. Andrews challenges the supposed superiority of Western medicine in China while showing how |traditional| Chinese medicine was deliberately created in the image of a modern scientific practice.

The Art of Medicine in Early China false By:Miranda Brown Published on 2015-04-20 by Cambridge University Press In this book, Miranda Brown investigates the myths that acupuncturists and herbalists have told about the birth of the healing arts. Moving from the Han (206 BC–AD 220) and Song (960–1279) dynasties to the twentieth century, Brown traces the rich history of Chinese medical historiography and the gradual emergence of the archive of medical tradition. She exposes the historical circumstances that shaped the current image of medical progenitors: the ancient bibliographers, medieval editors, and modern reformers and defenders of Chinese medicine who contributed to the contemporary shape of the archive. Brown demonstrates how ancient and medieval ways of knowing live on in popular narratives of medical history, both in modern Asia and in the West. She also reveals the surprising and often unacknowledged debt that contemporary scholars owe to their pre-modern forebears for the cat...

Novel Medicine true By:Andrew Schonebaum Published on 2016-04-05 by University of Washington Press By examining the dynamic interplay between discourses of fiction and medicine, Novel Medicine demonstrates how fiction incorporated, created, and disseminated medical knowledge in China, beginning in the sixteenth century. Critical readings of fictional and medical texts provide a counterpoint to prevailing narratives that focus only on the �literati� aspects of the novel, showing that these texts were not merely read, but were used by a wide variety of readers for a range of purposes. The intersection of knowledge�fictional and real, elite and vernacular�illuminates the history of reading and daily life and challenges us to rethink the nature of Chinese literature.

The Politics of Chinese Medicine Under Mongol Rule true By:Reiko Shinno Published on 2016-02-22 by Routledge Under the rule of the descendants of Chinggis Khan (1167-1227), China saw the development of a new culture in which medical practice came to be considered a highly respected occupation for elite men. During this period, further major steps were also taken towards the codification of medical knowledge and promotion of physicians’ social status. This book traces the history of the politics, institutions, and culture of medicine of China under Mongol rule, through the eyes of a successful South Chinese official Yuan Jue (1266-1327). As the first comprehensive monograph on history of medicine in China under the Mongols, it argues that this period was a separate moment in Chinese history, when a configuration of power different from that of previous and succeeding periods created its own medical culture. The Politics of Chinese Medicine under Mongol Rule emphasizes the impact of the...

Translating Buddhist Medicine in Medieval China true By:C. Pierce Salguero Published on 2014-06-10 by University of Pennsylvania Press The transmission of Buddhism from India to China was one of the most significant cross-cultural exchanges in the premodern world.
