从《类编南北经验医方大成》论元代南北医学融合

After the perdition of the Southern Song dynasty, China was reunified under Mongol rule in 1279. People in south China needed to adapt the new policies of the Yuan court, which differed greatly from the policies of the Southern Song, and physicians were no exception. Southern physicians needed to absorb medical knowledge and theories from northern China that had developed during the Jin-Yuan period. This paper aims to probe into the book known as Classified Compilation of Northern and Southern Empirical Medical Prescription, originally produced by a physician Sun Yunxian and then supplemented by Xiong Yanming during the Yuan dynasty. Both were physicians of Southern region. Medical prescriptions of this book are further classified into two categories as follows: those based on medical traditions of the southern Song dynasty, and those from northern medical traditions of the Jin and Yuan dynasties. This suggests, therefore, that the book reflected a medical trend aimed at the integration of medical traditions between southern and northern regions during the Yuan dynasty.
