海外针灸铜人考(待续)

The bronze acupuncture figure abroad

为探索海外所藏针灸铜人的来历 ,对岐见争议较多的四具进行考证。认为日本东博所藏古铜人 ,“天圣铜人说”、“山崎铸造说”还需搜寻直接证据。韩国昌德宫藏铜人 ,查《李朝实录》1415年载有吴真自明携回铜人图而非尹吴真携回铜人 ;又据铸铜人、女医点穴考试等记载 ,推断铜人可能为李朝自铸。维尔康医史博物馆藏童子铜人 ,国内未见 ,据头有总角推断为明代作品而非清代 ;“雍正”小铜人为仿乾隆小铜人膺品 ,铸年当在 1745年以后。

The aim of this study is to probe the source of the four bronze acupuncture figures collected abroad which are disputed quite much.There was not direct evidence for the figure collected in Tokyo Museum cast in Tian Sheng Age of Song Dynasty or by Yamasaki.The figure collected in Chang De Palace was reported in Faithful Record of Li Dynasty of Korea in 1415,which had been fetched by Wu zhen,not Yin wuzhen.It might be made by Korean according to Casting Figure and Women's Exam of Acupuncture Pointing.The child figure collected in Welcome Medical History Museum and Library has not been found in China,which was inferred to be cast in Ming Dynasty according to the cherdhood.The figure of Yong Zheng Age was the counterfeit of the figure of Qian Long Age,cast after 1745.
