Abstract
|
|
|
In Chinese history, the Tang era was when the prototype of the premodern East-Asian system of government was established through legal codes (×Èֵ̫ãÒ). The laws that regulated the medical system were called ¡°cedical statutes¡± (ì¢òðÖµ). As the Tang laws were lost, the medical statutes could only be seen in JapanuteRyounogige (¡ºÖµëùú°¡») or glimpsed in Tangliudian (¡ºÓÐ׿îð¡»). However, a portion of Tiansheng Ling (¡ºô¸á¡Öµ¡») from the Northern Song era was found in China in the late 1990s. This contains the medical statutes from both the Tang and Song dynasties, thus offering a chance to restore the Tang medical statutes as well as those in Goryeo, which accepted the Tang system.
Therefore, this article aims to uncover the categories for selecting and educating the medical students who would become medical officers found in the Chinese medical statutes, including their majors, years of education, and subjects. The article seeks to restore the contents of the Goryeo medical statutes and reestablish the long-lost Goryeo legal system.
A total of three categories from the Goryeo medical statutes were restored. The first one is concerned with selecting medical students; the second one deals with the subjects that the students were taught, while the third one is about Jugeum (ñ±Ð×), a unique content of the statutes in question. In terms of selecting and educating medical students, the restored contents are the same as those from the medical statutes of Tang, Song, and Japan, while the Goryeo statute on Jugeum is not found elsewhere.
Based on the restoration of the Goryeo medical statutes, we now know that the early Goryeo medical system was largely based on the one in Tang but that its majors and subjects were unique. Furthermore, the system had its own agenda, which prioritized the acquisition of basic medical knowledge.
