摘要
英国剑桥大学学者金姆·泰勒(Kim Taylor)的专著《共产主义中国早期的中医1945-1963:革命医学》一书在新中国早期的中医发展史、国家政策与中医体制化的关系等方面做了有益的探索。她认为中医在服务于中国共产主义革命的同时,其自身也受到革命的塑造,因而是一种"革命医学"。在书中,她注意到了20世纪中国革命的连续性,以及中医的发展与这种连续性的关系,但是由于她不了解中医的基本理论、临床疗效和社会功能,因而忽视了政治以外的其他因素对中医发展的影响。因此,她所提出的"中医是一种革命医学"的假设是不能成立的。
In her book “Chinese Medicine in Early Communist China, 1945-1963： A Medicine of Revolution”, Kim Taylor, a researcher from the University of Cambridge, explores the developmental history of Chinese medicine in the early years of the People＇s Republic of China as well as the relationship between state policy and the institutionalization of Chinese medicine. She believes that Chinese medicine, while being used in the service of the communist revolution, itself was also reshaped by the revolution, therefore becoming a medicine of revolution. In her book, Taylor focuses on the continuity of the Chinese Revolution in the 20th century, as well as the relationship between this continuity and the development of Chinese medicine. However, perhaps because she might not be too familiar with the basic theory, clinical efficacy and social functions of traditional Chinese medicine, she tends to overlook other factors which influenced the development of Chinese medicine while overemphasizing the political factors. Therefore, her hypothesis that Chinese medicine is a kind of“medicine of revolution” is untenable.
