本文以2003年和2005年在西藏拉萨市郊区一个农村社区进行的为期六个月的田野调查为基础,通过分析藏族农民在对待疾病诊断、治疗上的观念和行为,表明藏族传统的价值观念对藏族农民的医疗行为的选择有着不可忽视的重要作用。也就是说,西藏农民对疾病的认识和就医行为的选择是其价值观在行为上的外化。 Based on the six-month fieldwork conducted in 2003 and 2005 in a rural community in the suburbs of Lhasa in Tibet, this article analyzes the Tibetan peasants’conceptions and behaviors in treating and diagnosing diseases and shows that Tibetan traditional values The choice of Tibetan farmer’s medical behavior has an important role that can not be ignored. In other words, the Tibetan peasants’ understanding of the disease and the choice of medical treatment are behavioral externalities of their values.
