情志与疾病——以出土唐代墓志为主的考察

Emotions and Diseases——Observation Focused on the Unearthed Epitaphs of the Tang Dynasty

在唐代的10余方墓志中,出身官宦之家的志主(以女性为多),因(悲)哀、忧、恨等情志活动不节制而导致死亡的事实值得今人反思。高履行在其父母去世时哀毁过礼,是唐太宗李世民对其女婿的适时劝慰和开导,既成全了高履行的孝行,又使其不致悲哀过度而亡,由此可知李世民不仅是一代明君,而且也是一位懂得中医医术的心理师。

The facts recorded in over a dozen of unearthed epitaphs of the Tang Dynasty that the epitaph masters(most of whom were female)died because of unrestricted grief,worry,hatred or other strong emotions are worthy to be carefully considered by the present-day readers.Gao Lüxing,a son-in-law of Li Shimin,the Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty,was worn to a shadow with grief at the death of his parents;it is Emperor Taizong's timely comforting and persuading which made Gao Lüxing fulfill his filial piety while not too grieve to live;this shows that Li Shimin was not only a sage sovereign but also a psychotherapist knowing skills of Chinese Traditional Medicine.
