Summary

This is a textbook in the National Higher Education Textbook Series for the Traditional Chinese Medicine Industry under China's 14th Five-Year Plan, edited by Wang Yulin and Li Yajun, intended for undergraduate teaching in Traditional Chinese Medicine, Acupuncture and Tuina, and Integrated Chinese and Western Clinical Medicine. The textbook's fundamental goal is to develop and improve students' ability to read ancient medical literature, and its content consists of two main parts: foundational knowledge and selected readings in classical Chinese. The foundational knowledge section covers traditional Chinese philology, including character studies, phonology, exegesis, grammar, and rhetoric, laying a foundation for students to interpret ancient medical texts. The selected readings section centers on classic works of Chinese medicine, featuring excerpts from the original text of the Huangdi Neijing Suwen and Lingshu Jing, ancient annotations and collation notes, as well as prefaces and bibliographic summaries from works such as the Suwen and Shanghan Lun, and begins with classics of Chinese national learning as a bridge to the canonical texts of Chinese medicine. The selections also include case records, medical discourses, formula discussions, and materia medica discussions—genres close to clinical practice—so that students can apply what they learn. The textbook is structured to summarize first and then advance, and is accompanied by digital content for supplementary use; variant characters in the original ancient texts have not been standardized, in order to train students' ability to read primary sources. It is suitable as the main textbook for Medical Classical Chinese courses in Chinese medicine institutions.

Editor's review

对中医院校学生来说，医古文历来是“绕不过去的坎”：不读懂古医籍，学《伤寒论》《金匮要略》时就容易卡在字词上。这本“十四五”规划教材由王育林、李亚军主编，特点是把基础知识前置，先讲清文字、音韵、训诂和语法修辞，再进入文选，使“识字—解词—通文—明医理”有清晰的台阶。选文以中医经典为中心，既收《素问》《灵枢》原文，也收古代注文、序跋和提要，让学生在读原典的同时学会使用目录、版本与注疏工具。教材刻意保留原文中的异体字，不做“简化润色”，这份“难”恰恰是训练阅读能力的价值所在。教材还配有数字化内容，便于自学与课堂配合使用，是考研与经典课程衔接的可靠基础读物。

Who it's for

A good fit for

中医学、针灸推拿学、中西医临床医学等专业的本科生
准备考研、需要系统复习医古文基础知识的学生
想读懂《黄帝内经》《伤寒论》原文的中医自学者
中医经典与医史文献方向的教学、研究人员

Not a good fit for

完全没有文言文基础且不愿补语法词汇知识的小白读者
只想读白话中医科普、不打算接触原文的大众读者
期望用它替代《医古文译注》一类逐句翻译工具书的读者

Reading tips

按教材顺序先学基础知识，再读文选，不要跳过文字音韵训诂部分。
每篇文选先自己断句试译，再对照注释核对，把重点词语抄进笔记。
配合《素问》《伤寒论》原书与注本对读，把课堂字词落实到经典原文。
考前集中复习繁简字、异体字对照表和常用中医药词语，效果明显。

FAQ

这本书和人民卫生出版社的《医古文》有什么区别？

本书是中国中医药出版社“十四五”规划教材，主编为王育林、李亚军，体例上基础知识在前、文选在后，强调国学经典入门；人民卫生出版社另有王兴伊、傅海燕主编的第4版等版本，选文与章节编排不同。选购时按学校指定版本即可。

医古文主要学什么，需要多少古文基础？

医古文主要学两件事：一是文字、音韵、训诂、语法修辞等阅读古医籍的工具性知识，二是精读中医经典原文、注文与序跋。高中文言文水平即可起步，书中基础知识部分会系统补齐，关键在于坚持逐句精读。

书里的原文用简体还是繁体？

本教材对古籍原文中的异体字未作划一处理，以训练阅读原典的能力。书中附有繁简字、异体字对照相关内容，阅读时可结合对照表识认，不必因字形差异而畏难。

About the author

王育林 Author

Wang Yulin is an author engaged in the teaching and study of medical classical Chinese (yiguwen). Public information about him is limited, and details such as his birthplace, education, and professional positions are not available in the records. Judging from the works on file, he has compiled several textbooks and companion volumes centered on this foundational subject of traditional Chinese medicine, including Medical Classical Chinese (13th Five-Year Plan), Basic Medical Classical Chinese (13th Five-Year Plan), and a Exercise Collection for Medical Classical Chinese. These works are mainly used for course teaching and examination preparation in traditional Chinese medicine colleges, covering the basics of classical Chinese, readings from canonical medical texts, and related exercises and tests, reflecting a practical, classroom-oriented approach. His participation in the 13th Five-Year Plan textbooks indicates a connection with the medical classical Chinese curriculum system in TCM institutions, while the exercise collection offers students supplementary material for strengthening their reading of classical Chinese and preparing for examinations. Overall, Wang Yulin's writing falls within the categories of medicine and examinations, serving the training of classical Chinese literacy for TCM students, and his style tends toward the practical and standardized, offering some reference value for the development of teaching materials in medical classical Chinese.

李亚军 Author

Public information about Li Yajun is currently limited. The works listed under this name span medicine, examination preparation, and finance, suggesting a broad range of interests and a cross-disciplinary approach to writing. Three works are included here. In medicine, the translated and annotated edition of the classical Chinese medical text Beiji Qianjin Yaofang reflects work on organizing and introducing traditional medical literature, while Medical Classical Chinese (13th Five-Year Plan) relates to teaching and textbook compilation in classical Chinese for medical study, serving medical education and examination needs. In finance, a study on the impact of artificial intelligence on human resource development in Shenzhen examines how AI affects regional human resource development and explores possible responses, showing a practical, policy-oriented research focus. Overall, Li Yajun's writing combines textual translation and introduction, textbook compilation, and topical research, with pragmatic subject choices that connect traditional medicine with contemporary technological issues. Because information such as dates of birth and death, nationality, education, and professional positions is unavailable, no inferences are made here.
