| Abstract
|
| This paper compares different arrangements of entries in the newly-carved version and the Song dynasty imperial version of Qianjin Yaofang. The results suggest that theoretical entries in the imperial version are placed under proper headings. They are more systematically arranged to form more focused and logical expositions. The pharmacological entries are also better organized so that they are more user-friendly. Given the development of Neo-Confucianism at the time as a larger socio-cultural background,and the status of the chief editor as an imperial librarian,we may conclude that Qianjin Yaofang was officially reorganized in the Song Dynasty to increase its user-friendliness. The entries in the imperial version are systematically organized into four parts:that of theory,treatment,pharmacology and herbs. A thorough understanding of the efforts of the Song dynasty editors in terms of their ideas,principles,process and contents of their editing,as well as the implications of their editing on scholarly studies of Chinese medicine,will greatly enhance contemporary studies in the field,and improve our understanding and use of the texts of the Song dynasty imperial version. |
