摘要
锭子药(锭剂)是富有特色的中医药剂型,使用时内服外用皆可。本文试图通过梳理锭子药的命名源流及功用演化来展现锭子药在中国医药发展史中的面貌,并探讨其在中医药历史中独特的医学价值和文化属性。研究发现,汉唐文献中的挺状物就是锭子药的前身,“锭”借音于“铤”,而“铤”与“梃”“挺”互为通假字;从宋元开始,锭子药因为用法灵活被广泛传播,而其命名的逐渐固定可能与白银货币化的社会背景相关;明清之后,由于其疗效明确突出,锭子药在各社会场景中被广泛使用。锭子药(锭剂)在历代的不断发展演化中,其医药功用从外用药发展到口服以及外用口服皆可,治疗范围包括治疗便秘、耳病、眼病等。同时还衍生出了作为礼品(保健品)的功用,并在一段时期也被作为军事用品记载于史料中。
Spindle medicine(pastille) is a distinctive type of traditional Chinese medicine medication that can be taken orally or used externally.This article presents the appearance of spindle medicine in the history of Chinese medicine development by organizing the naming origin and functional evolution of spindle medicine,and explores its unique medical value and cultural attributes in the history of traditional Chinese medicine.Research has found that the Ting shaped substance in Han and Tang literature is the predecessor of spindle medicine,with "Ding" borrowed from "Ding",and "Ding" " Sting",and "Ting" are interchangeable characters;From the Song dynasty to the Yuan dynasty,spindle medicine was widely spread due to its flexible usage,and its gradually fixed naming may be related to the social background of silver monetization;After the Ming and Qing dynasties,due to its clear and prominent therapeutic effect,spindle medicine was widely used in various social settings.In the continuous development and evolution of various dynasties,the medicinal functions of pastille drugs have evolved from external use to oral and external use.The treatment scope includes the treatment of constipation,ear diseases,eye diseases,etc.At the same time,it also derived its function as a gift(health product) and was recorded as a military item in historical records for a period of time.
