Purpose of the Issue

专刊主旨

Images that originated earlier than language always play an irreplaceable role as the carrier of knowledge, serving as important historical research materials, but they have not received the attention and interpretation they deserve. Fortunately, in recent years, images have gradually attracted more and more sights as a new historical perspective and research method, from scholars in traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) literature and history research. Interpreting and studying TCM images can not only trace the background and knowledge of the image era, but have important value in sorting out the composition and evolution of medical theory and investigating the current theoretical form, which will broaden the research of Chinese medical history and push the traditional images of TCM from philology research to a new stage of historical research.

More importantly, in the multidisciplinary perspectives, the study of TCM images has continuously been beyond medical images and begun to focus on finding elements that examine medicine itself in non-medical materials. At the same time, the focus has also shifted to a wide range of background fields behind medicine, involving interdisciplinary research such as sociology and anthropology. Breaking the boundary between internal and external history will undoubtedly become a trend in TCM research in the future. It is hoped that several cases selected in this special topic can provide reference for academic circles to study the materials and methods of medical history from the perspective of images.

早于语言产生的图像一直作为知识的载体发挥着不可替代的作用，是重要的历史研究资料，然而却未获得应有的关注与阐释。幸运的是，近些年来，图像作为一种全新的历史视角和研究方法，在中医医史文献研究领域逐渐吸引了越来越多学者的目光。对中医图像的解读和研究，不仅能够追溯图像所属时代的背景与知识，而且对于梳理医学理论的构成与演变、探究当下的理论形态具有重要价值，这将拓展中国医学史的研究范畴，推动中医传统图像从文献学研究迈向历史研究的新阶段。

尤为重要的是，在多学科视域下，中医图像的研究不断超越医学图像的范畴，开始聚焦于在非医学材料中探寻审视医学本身的元素。同时，研究重点也转向了医学背后的广泛学科领域，涉及社会学、人类学等跨学科研究。打破内外历史的界限，无疑将成为未来中医研究的一个趋势。期望本专题所选取的若干案例，能够为学术界从图像角度研究医学史的资料和方法提供借鉴。
