在中国古代医书著述史上,儒医将医论、医方编为歌诀体医书,既便于记诵,又多有新见,是医学与诗词融通的体现。清初陕西咸阳医家刘企向先儒后医,擅长儿科诊治,晚年勤于著述,其歌诀体医书《痘科药性诗余》(1720)、《痘科一得歌诀》(1721)、《痘科一得药方解》(1727)具有重要的中医药治学方法启示:一是通过分析刘企向歌诀体医书的内容特色和学术观点,可归纳总结其临证经验、用药规律和医学思想;二是探究刘企向歌诀体医书的体裁及用韵,对于中医药科普读物的编写及推广流传有积极的参考价值;三是从传统文献学、诗词音韵学、中医学等多学科的角度对刘企向歌诀体医书进行全面研究,可为古代医书的跨学科研究提供一种新的范式。

In the history of ancient Chinese medical books, Confucian doctors compiled medical theories and prescriptions into books of recipes in rhymes, which was not only easy to memorize, but also had many new ideas, and reflected the integration of medicine and poetry. Liu Qixiang, a doctor in Xianyang, Shaanxi Province in the early Qing Dynasty ,was good at pediatric diagnosis and treatment, and was diligent in writing in his later years. His medical books of recipes in rhymes, Pox Medicine Property Verses (1720), Recipes in Rhymes on Pox Medicine (1721 ) and Pox Prescription Analysis ( 1727), had important inspiration for traditional Chinese medicine: Firstly, by analyzing the content characteristics and academic views of Liu Qixiang's books of recipes in rhymes, it is possible to summarize his clinical experience, medication rules and medical thoughts. Secondly, the genre and rhyme of Liu Qixiang's medical books can be explored ,which has positive reference value for the compilation and popularization of popular science books of Chinese medicine. Thirdly, from the perspective of traditional philology, phonology of poetry, traditional Chinese medicine and other disciplines. A comprehensive study of Liu Qixiang's books of recipes in rhymes can provide a new paradigm for the interdisciplinary study of ancient medical books.
