从神异叙事看中西医文化的碰撞与差异

Collision and difference of Chinese and Western medicine culture from the perspective of supernatural narration

神异叙事是正史医家传记中一种"隐秘"的传统。随着中医的发展、西医的传入以及历史观念的变化,神异叙事逐渐减少,质疑的声音逐渐增多。神异叙事由"常"变"异",并被污名化为落后、愚昧的象征和代名词,这种历史演变轨迹体现了中西医文化的碰撞与差异,成为中医文化转型的一种缩影。

The supernatural narration is a kind of ‘secret’ tradition in the official biography of medical figures. With the development of Chinese medicine, introduction of western medicine and the changes on historical views, the contents on supernatural narration gradually decreased while the voice of suspicions gradually increased. The supernatural narration has changed from ‘ordinary’ to ‘abnormal’, and has been stigmatized as a symbol and pronoun of backwardness and ignorance. This historical evolution reflects the collision and difference between Chinese and Western medicine culture, and has become a miniature of the cultural transformation of traditional Chinese medicine.
