Different from the common history of medical science that focuses on the history of the development of medical technology, this book tells the social history of medicine from the perspective of cultural anthropology. It is a historical reading that uses multidisciplinary research methods from the perspective of social history to understand social patterns and changes through the investigation of people's medical activities in modern Chinese history. This book focuses on nine aspects, including a sketch of the relationship between Chinese and Western medicine in modern China, changes in health administrative institutions in modern China, church medicine in modern China, the evolution of disease prevention and control in modern China, higher Western medicine education in modern China, Western medicine groups in modern China, public health and urban modernization in modern China, an overview of the doctor-patient relationship in modern China, and Chinese public health during the Anti-Japanese War. Based on the cutting-edge research results in the field of medical social history, the goal of this book is to deepen the research and teaching of modern Chinese history and the history of medical technology development through a relatively complete outline of the medical social history of modern China. The social history of modern Chinese medicine is an integral part of the complete modern history of China. "Nine Lectures on the Social History of Modern Chinese Medicine" adds dimension and depth to deepening the understanding and understanding of modern Chinese history, and is beneficial to readers' complete understanding of modern Chinese history. The book "Nine Lectures on the History of Modern Chinese Medicine", which is now applied for publication, is the research result of the History Project of the National Social Science Foundation (18BZS153).
