After Selling the Cream and Thinking About It, He Still Lives: Knowledge, Emotions and the "yuanbai Moment" in the History of Chinese Medicine
by Chen Hao
About This Novel
Through the study of the songs about illness among Yuan Zhen, Bai Juyi and other friends, this book discusses how poets in the Tang Dynasty wrote poems in the state of illness, how they mentioned, described and even showed the state of illness in their poems, as well as the social expression behind it. The "moments" constructed by Yuan Bai's exchange of medicines and poems, and the "thinking" in them that are related to knowledge, emotion and even desire, are the main points of this book. This book further proposes that researchers need to reflect on the situations in which scholars read and write medical literature and various medical-related writings, to understand the complexities in their expressions, in order to find the possibility of re-writing. This book was selected as the best book of 2025 by Shanghai Ancient Books Bookstore × The Paper Fans Book Party.
