| Résumé anglais |
In terms of social and intellectual background, the physician-authors of the Huangdi neijing (Inner Canon ; compiled ca. first century B.C.) belonged to the same milieu as diviners, astrologers, and other specialists in technical arts. Analysis of relevant passages in the Inner Canon in the light of recently excavated manuscripts that treat of medicine and divination reveals the extent to which the theory and practice of medicine in the Inner Canon were influenced by contemporary divinatory traditions. The manuscript evidence provides the basis for new and more exact interpretations of the Inner Canon, and allows us to gain a broader perspective on the development of early Chinese medicine.
