近代医学整形技术引发的身体观念变迁

Transition of the Concept of the Body in the Development of Modern Medical Plastic Technology

近代医学整形技术通过报刊传媒推介至晚清中国,实现残缺身体的修复与再造,备受时人关注。晚清女性欲借助医学科技调整体态容貌,进而把身体改造得更有价值,由此引发了传统伦理道德领域的不安。晚清文人认为医学科技的发展应有道德伦理价值导向,"毁体修容"是对中国传统的身体观念和妇容观的背叛。随着民国电影业的发展,医学整形技术在国人的日常生活中得到进一步的推广。一种全新的美容观念引发了社会对中国传统身体观念的挑战。

Modern medical plastic technology was introduced to China in the late Qing Dynasty. It had drawn great attentions due to the repair and reconstruction of the mulitation of the body. There was moral controversy for women to change their physical appearance with the help of medical technology. Some of the scholars claimed that the development of medical science and technology should be regulated within moral and ethical norms. ＂Change the body and modify the look＂ went against the traditional Chinese conception of the body and was a betrayal of the view of beauty of woman. With the development of the film industry during the period of the People＇s Republic of China, medical plastic surgery gained further promo.tion in people＇s daily life. A new concept of beauty challenged the traditional view of the body in the society.
