医案描写在许多古代小说中是用以体现宗教道德劝诫功能的。这虽是对生活整体化的一种理解,但其对医学问题、对生命自然机制本身的忽略,说明这一整体化视域比较抽象。《红楼梦》对医案的描写,把一种抽象的整体观具体化为人生的多方面关系,显示出对生命整体化理解和对生活全景式观察的进一步深入。 Medical records in many ancient novels are used to reflect the religious moral exhortation function. Although this is an understanding of the generalization of life, its neglect of medical problems and the natural mechanism of life itself shows that this holistic perspective is rather abstract. The description of medical records in A Dream of Red Mansions embodies an abstract holistic view as a multifaceted relationship in life and shows further understanding of life as a whole and a panoramic view of life.
