摘要
1944年毛泽东在陕甘宁边区文教工作者会议上指出：“仅仅依靠新医是不可能解决问题的。新医当然比旧医高明，但是新医如果不关心人民的痛苦，不为人民训练医生，不联合边区现有的一千多个旧医和旧式兽医，并帮助他们进步，那就是实际上帮助巫神……”^[1]从此以后，中国就一直在进行着把传统医学与现代医学结合起来的努力。
Just as has been the case in China, Viet Nam has in the past 50 years worked to combine traditional and modern medicine in their medical schools, medical research programmes as well as hospitals. They have also introduced a licensing system for about 20,000-35,000 active apprentice-trained traditional practitioners. This paper introduces three particular `western' understandings of how traditional medicine is different from modem medicine. In conclusion, there are severe limits to using Thomas Kuhn's concept of `incommensurability' when empirically accounting for the continuing persistence of both traditional and modern medicine in Viet Nam.
