On“Pestilences”in an Ancient Vietnamese Medical Book,Nan Yao Shen Xiao(《南药神效》Miraculous Vietnamese Medicine)

Nan Yao Shen Xiao(《南药神效》Miraculous Vietnamese Medicine)is“an ancient Vietnamese medical book in Chinese language”that is extant in Vietnam and plays an important part in Vietnamese medical development history.In the chapter of“Pestilences,”the characteristics,prevention,and treatment of pestilences were described in detail.By comparing Miraculous Vietnamese Medicine with Chinese medical books including Ben Cao Gang Mu(《本草纲目》Compendium of Materia Medica),it can be seen that the prevention and treatment of pestilences were profoundly influenced by Chinese medical books.The folk-proven prescriptions in Compendium of Materia Medica,Zhou Hou Bei Ji Fang(《肘后备急方》Handbook of Prescriptionsfor Emergency),Bei Ji Qian Jin Yao Fang(《备急千金要方》Important Prescriptions Worth a Thousand Gold for Emergency),and other Chinese medical books were included directly or after adaptation(slight modification in dosage and usage)in Miraculous Vietnamese Medicine.This form of“foreign acceptance”witnessed the history of medical culture communication between China and Vietnam,expanded the application scope of Chinese medicine in prevention and treatment of pestilences in a foreign land,promoted the overseas spread of folk-proven prescriptions in Chinese medicine to treat pestilences,and played a major part in treatment and prevention of disease in ancient Vietnam.

越南《南药神效》对中医防治瘟疫的受容研究

《南药神效》是一部现存于越南的汉文古医籍,在越南医学发展史上具有重要的学术地位。《南药神效》的“瘟疫篇”提供了一份真实反映古代越南防治瘟疫思路的医学史料,其防治瘟疫重视“扶正驱邪”,强调人体“正气”的重要作用,具有“取材方便、操作简单、疗效显著、容易普及”特点。通过与中国医学典籍相比较,考证《南药神效》防治瘟疫思想的来源。可见其对瘟疫发病条件、邪入途径、预防及治疗方法的认识主要来源于对中国传统医学的移植和借鉴,这种“域外接受”形式使中国医学宝贵的防疫经验在更广的范围内惠及汉文化圈的民众,也反映了中国古代防疫思想在越南特定地域和环境下的传播和发展。

越南《新刊南药神效十科应治》“小儿急惊”探析

越南文化是汉文化圈的重要组成部分,其传统医学受中医药学的影响颇深。通过对越南古医籍《新刊南药神效十科应治》卷九小儿科部分与中国医籍比较,可见其对小儿急惊的病机、症状、治则的认识深受我国宋代钱乙《小儿药证直诀》医学思想的影响,其所载方药主要引自《本草纲目》《普济方》等中国医籍。这种域外接受形式,扩大了中国医药在汉文化圈的影响力,拓展了中医药的应用范围,也促进了中医方药的域外流传和推广。
