唐代女医群体研究

Research on the Group of Female Doctors in Tang Dynasty

唐代女医、女巫均为当时妇女的健康照顾者。唐代女医既是男医治疗女患疾病的辅助者,又是直接为女患提供医疗帮助的医者。她们的产生和存在解决了儒家男女有别观念所造成的男医接触女患时的不便。女医医学技术的获取有官方机构教育和民间经验传授等途径。对唐代正史和传奇小说中所记载的女巫形象,我们需从书写者、被书写者、受众、写作背景等多种角度进行分析。

Female doctors in Tang Dynasty were not only assistants of male doctors in treating female patients, but also doctors who directly provided medical assistance to female patients. Their emergence and existence solved the inconvenience of male doctors caused by Confucian concept of male and female differences when they contacted female patients. The acquisition of medical technology for female doctors included the education of official institutions and the imparting of folk experience. The witches recorded in the official history and some legendary novels of the Tang Dynasty needed to be analyzed in their images and writings from perspectives of the writers, written objects, audiences, writing background and others.
