徐寿与“中西医汇通”主张的由来

Xu Shou and the provenance of "confluence of Chinese and western medicine

关于“中西医汇通”的由来 ,以往多认为是在 1890年 ,李鸿章为《万国药方》(中文版 )作序时最早提出。但根据掌握的资料 ,徐寿在 1876年所作“医学论”一文中就已经提出了“中西医汇通”的主张 ,可以说他是提出“中西医汇通”主张的第一人。

Formerly, it is generally recognized that the idea of 'confluence of Chinese and western medicine' was originated from Li Hongzhang's preface to the book, Wan guo yao fang (International Prescriptions) in 1890. Based on my own materials, in 1876, Xu Shou's Yi xue lun (On Medicine) already mentioned this term which may be reckoned as its earliest record.
