Abstract
This project aims at exploring the medical conceptions of children’s bodies and
disease in medieval China. From the West Jin to the Tang and Song dynasties,
pediatrics not only had conspicuous development in comparison with that of previous
dynasties, but was also gradually regarded as a branch of medicine. During this period
of time, pediatric experts developed various doctrines concerning children’s physical
and mental development so as to lay critical foundation for pediatrics. In this project, I
intend to take bianzheng (change and steam) and kewu (frightened by stranger) as
examples to discuss Chinese physician’s theories on phenomenon and process of new
born baby’s growth and to delve into how physicians understand new born baby’s
disease caused by external factors. In so doing, we can go further to study how those
physicians try to formulate both physical and mental development of a new life.
Moreover, by way of exploring physician’s diagnosis and treatment on bianzheng
and kewu, I set out to examine how physicians put medical doctrine into practice, as
well as whether physicians notice any clinical difference between sexes. I will also
take socio-cultural context into consideration in order to delve into the development
of pediatrics, and how doctors construct the features and theories of children’s physiology and psychology in medieval time.
