"六不治"观念的传变通考与价值刍议OA

The'Six Principles'was first recorded in Biographies of Bian Que and Cang Gong in Records of the Grand Historian.The exposition not only used medical matters as a metaphor for state governance but also conformed to medical principles,hence being widely quoted in medical works of later generations.Through transcription and evolution over successive dynasties,the'Six Principles'was attributed to both Bianque and Canggong.It evolved from a medical discourse on prognostic judgment into a moral code of conduct for patients seeking medical treatment,and thus became the seed and an important carrier of the development of ancient doctor-patient ethics.Its interpretations and content changed alongside the development of medical practices in ancient China,reflecting the characteristics of the medical ecology of each dynasty.This paper clarifies the historical evolution of the'Six Principles',interprets the rich historical information embedded in its emergence and evolution and explores,the inspirations from a critical inheritance perspective.
