湖南长沙马王堆汉墓出土的帛书《五十二病方》,据考证成书不晚于秦汉之际,是我国现已发现的最古医方。该方书的发现弥补了我国医药史上的重要空白,为研究先秦的医药学提供了较多和真实可靠的依据。《五十二病方》各方讲到药物的应用处,每每提及药物的炮制方法。归纳起来,这些方法有十种之多。鉴于现存早期医药文献甚少,其中有关药物炮制的材料更属罕见,因此《五十二病方》中这些炮制资料,对早期药物炮制法的研究,就是十分珍贵和难得的了。现将这些炮制方法加以介绍,供进一步研究参考。 The fifty-two disease case unearthed at the Mawangdui Han Tomb in Changsha, Hunan Province, is the oldest medical prescription found in China, which is not later than the Qin and Han dynasties. The discovery of this party book made up for an important gap in the history of medicine in China, and provided more and more reliable and reliable evidence for the study of Pre-Qin medicine. The parties to the “Sixty-two Diseases” section talked about the application of drugs, and often referred to the methods of preparation of drugs. To sum up, there are as many as ten of these methods. In view of the scarcity of existing early medical literature, and the fact that the materials concocted by the relevant drugs are even rarer, the preparation of the early drug concocting method in the “Fifty-two Diseases” is very precious and rare. These processing methods are now introduced for further study.
