对于19世纪以来“西医东渐”的研究,近来虽有学者已开始注意到西医为进入华人社会做出的文化适应和调整,然其叙述重心仍然聚焦于医疗传教士,并多少有些忽略中国当地社会的推动。应当注意的是,那些与医疗传教士交往的儒家读书人,所译西医著述文字典雅、古朴,较易被华人社会接受;华人助手承担了诊所和医院的大量诊治工作,采用中西医会通的治疗方法赢得了更多华人病家的信任;众多华人病家虽没有直接参与相关的医疗知识生产和传递,但前来就医,而非寻求宗教皈依,在一定程度上又提升了医疗传教士们开办诊所或医院的普世意义。 Recently, although scholars have begun to pay attention to the cultural adaptation and adjustment made by western medicine to Chinese communities, their narrative focus is still focused on medical missionaries, and somewhat neglected Promotion of Chinese local society. It should be noted that those Confucian scribes who dealt with medical missionaries had an elegant, simple and easy-to-read written text that was accepted by the Chinese community. The Chinese assistants undertook a large number of clinics and hospitals for diagnosis and treatment and adopted the treatment of Chinese and Western medicine The method won more trust from Chinese patients; many Chinese patients did not directly participate in the production and delivery of relevant medical knowledge, but coming to seek medical treatment rather than seek religious conversion, to a certain extent, promoted medical missionaries Universal meaning of clinic or hospital.
