摘要
当今我国学者普遍将花柳病等同于性病,认为"花柳病"是性病在旧社会的称谓或者是一种民间称法。本文通过对花柳病概念进行溯源,认为这种看法是缺乏历史依据的:"花柳"一词作为对妓女等的雅称始于唐代,但是作为一种疾病的名称则始于日本,自19世纪中后期被引入中国之后,它又经历了近代医学的洗礼和改造,成为了一个充满本土感的近代词汇。
‘Hualiu Disease’ (the counterpart of Venereal Disease in Chinese) was well known by the public and even scholars as an appellation for Sexually Transmitted Disease(STD) in ancient yeas. To illustrate the history of the concept, literatures and monographs related to this disease have been reviewed. Originated in Japan and then imported to China as a medical term right after 19th century it indicates a specific disease due to indiscreet behaviors. This imported concept became a modernized term after absorbing theories of infectious disease and bacteria, which breaks through the traditional classification and treatment framework of Chinese medicine toward syphilis and gonorrhea etc.
