脚气本义与腺鼠疫史话

History of Ancient Meaning of Beriberi and Plague

晋唐“风毒脚气”是与鼠疫有关的急症。19-20世纪之交的鼠疫流行与同期发现的beriber或Vitamin B1缺乏病。经有关学术团体“帝国医疗”（impirial medicine）、“殖民地医学”（colonial medicine）的误导而指鹿为马，将其误释为营养不良的慢性病。我们依此为中医史、疫病流行史、中医灸刺法起源和中医理论的渊源找到了新的切入点，也为研究东西方医学交流和近代中日鼠疫流行史提供了新的佐证。

＂Beriberi due to wind and toxin＂ in the Jin and Tang Dynasties were acute diseases related to plague. The spread of plague at the end of the 19th century and beginning of the 20th century and beriberi or Vitamin B1 deficiency also present at the same time, were mistakenly believed to be chronic malnutritional diseases by medical associations like Imperial Medicine and Colonial Medicine. In this paper, the author tries to find new starting points for the exploration of the origin of the history of Chinese medicine, the history of epidemiology, acupuncture and moxibustion and the theories of Chinese medicine, and to provide evidence for the research of the history of communication between oriental and western medicine and the history of the spread of plague in China and Japan.
