Abstract

In 1963 Hakim Mohammed Said took a Pakistani delegation from the Society for the Promotion of Eastern Medicine on a monthlong trip to China to meet with and learn from practitioners of Traditional Chinese Medicine. This essay focuses on Said's interpretation of the history of medicine in Asia, which was inspired by his trip and informed by a broad, global understanding of how Unani medicine developed from the eighth century to the present. Said's advocacy of Eastern Medicine provides a way to think about the history of medicine and medical revitalization that is not limited by colonial, postcolonial, or nationalist assumptions and priorities.

重新思考亚洲医学史:哈基姆·穆罕默德·赛义德和东方医学促进会。

1963年，哈基姆·穆罕默德·赛义德带着巴基斯坦东方医学促进会代表团到中国进行了为期一个月的访问，与中医医生会面并向他们学习。这篇文章的重点是赛义德对亚洲医学史的解释，这一解释受到他的旅行的启发，并受到从8世纪到现在对乌纳尼医学如何发展的广泛的全球理解的影响。赛义德对东方医学的倡导提供了一种思考医学史和医学复兴的方式，不受殖民、后殖民或民族主义假设和优先事项的限制。
