We use the corner of "New Historiography" to compile an album of medical history, and call it "New Exploration of Medical History". On the one hand, we certainly hope to use this to show the academic circles at home and abroad the new progress and achievements in the study of Chinese medical history, and to better attract more researchers, especially young talents, to join this research team. At the same time, we also hope to promote the continuous development of this research by showing the new pursuit and new orientation of this emerging research and elucidating its significance and value. There are 6 monographs and 2 academic reviews included here. Although the content and methods may not be exactly as we mentioned above, they can be classified into the relatively typical category of "life history". But compared with most traditional studies, calling it a new exploration of Chinese medical history should be well deserved. These studies basically have the perspective of social and cultural history, and are rich in the history of daily life, material culture, body history and gender history. Not only that, but most of them are related to our advocacy of paying attention to life in history in the context of daily life. Although the ultimate goal of Zhou Qirong's "Healing the Public: Public and Charitable Medical Services in the Qing Dynasty's Scholar-Merchant Society" is to demonstrate the characteristics of the Qing Dynasty's scholar-merchant society through the discussion of charitable medical treatment in the Ming and Qing Dynasties, the many specific discussions in his article actually provide the possibility for us to better understand and understand the medical field, behavior and methods of the society at that time.
