宋代文士编撰方书之风盛行现象探析

Exploration and Analysis of Prevailing Compilation of Medical Formulary by Scholars in Song Dynasty

宋代文人士大夫在从文从政的同时,普遍关注医学,编撰方书之风蔚然盛行。此现象产生的主要原因是:宋政府对医学的高度重视,儒家"仁爱"思想的深入影响,遏制巫风的社会需求,禁方公开的道德要求,自身或父母患病遭庸医误治及个人兴趣爱好的促使等。这些名家辑录的方集简明而实用,有力地促进了医学知识的传播。

Much attention was paid to the medical science by scholars, from the academic to the political, and the compila- tion of medical formulary was prevailing in Song dynasty. This was due mainly to the high attention by Song dynasty gov- ernment, the deep influence by Confucian traditional idea of kind-heartedness, social demand for the containment of the witchcraft, morally asking for publishing the secret formula, improper treatment to self or their parents＇ diseases, person- al interests, and so on. The collection of medical formulary was concise and practical, which promoted the wide spreading of medical science.
