朱克柔生平考——兼论其与《古今医史》之关系

The relationship between Zhu Kerou and the publication Medical History in the Past and Present

王宏翰的《古今医史》自被发现以来一直颇受史学界重视, 而在其中留下痕迹的朱克柔之生平及其同《古今医史》的关系却长期未得澄清。医籍、笔记、书信、地方志等文献显示, 朱克柔字文刚, 号砚(研)渔, 为江苏吴县人, 活跃于乾嘉年间, 曾从学于名医缪遵义十余年, 但后未以医为业, 或赖艺术行业谋生, 著有《第一香笔记》并付梓, 整理《古今医史》前7卷, 对续增2卷亦有贡献。

Medical History in the Past and Present(Gu Jin Yi Shi),written by Wang Honghan,has been valued by historians since its discovery.Its publication was linked to Zhu Kerou but the relationship between the book and Zhu had been unclear for a long time.This paper examined medical books,medical notes,letters and local chronicles and other related materials.It was found that Zhu Kerou,also named Wengang and Yanyu,lived in Wu County,Jiangsu.He had studied under Miao Zunyi,a well-known doctor at that time,as his medical teacher for more than ten years.However,he did not maintain medicine as his career,but made a living with arts.He wrote Notes of Orchid(Di Yi Xiang Bi Ji)and had it published,collated and edited as part of the first seven volumes of Medical History in the Past and Present(Gu Jin Yi Shi).He also contributed to two additional volumes of this book.
