The paper demonstrated the core function of pulse diagrams in interpreting the theories of pulse in Nan Jing. It was found that the pulse diagram illustrations evolved through multiple dynasties and came to the Ding system which focused on the pulse patterns corresponded to 'heaven and humans', the Hua which integrated multi-dimensional factors and the Zhang which fully differentiated diagrams clinically. By comparison the annotated Japanese version of Nan Jing,based on the three pulse diagram systems above in China, featured with localisation evolution, such as disassembled diagram illustrations, metric refinement, and functional differentiation. It was also found that Nan Jing in China as well as in Japan both undertook holistic insights and dialectical thinking, presented different interpretation for the diverse medical practice and cultural context differentiation, providing academic references for the visualized evolvement and cross-cultural communication in terms of traditional Chinese pulse theory.","PeriodicalId":35995,"journal":{"name":"中华医史杂志","volume":"56 4","pages":"195-206"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2026-07-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148727396","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It pioneered the 'condensed pill' technology according to traditional Chinese medical theories, gaining wide recognition for its remarkable efficacy. It emphasized laboratory analysis, experimental research and formula transparency. It maximised its influence domestically and exported its products overseas with flexible market strategies. It survives today despite obstacles like industry resistance and the War of Resistance against Japan. In contrast, Cui Hua Pharmaceutical Factory, as the first western-style pharmaceutical factory of traditional Chinese medicine, established a sound organizational structure, management system and active business strategies. However, it failed three years later after its establishment because of its poor efficacy, poor quality and inconsistency with traditional Chinese medicine theories. Additionally, it lost the market with a lack of long-term planning and risk assessment. This paper focuses on the development of Fo Ci and makes reference to Cui Hua, offering a comparative study in terms of historical context, corporate culture, product characteristics, market exploration, and risk responses. Their success and failure provided valuable insights for modern enterprises of Chinese medicines, such as adapting to trends in market research, strictly controlling product quality while balancing traditions and innovation, optimising internal structures and strengthening talent development to enhance competitiveness and risk resistance to achieve sustainable development.","PeriodicalId":35995,"journal":{"name":"中华医史杂志","volume":"56 4","pages":"248-255"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2026-07-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148726125","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The three findings were as follows: the fundamental differences between traditional Chinese and Western medical systems, the power limitations of the Central National Medical Bureau, and the immature understanding of combining Chinese and Western medicine. It was also found that unifying the terminology of diseases in traditional Chinese medicine was an important trial in terms of and the scientific modernisation of Chinese medicine. However, its practical approach to 'control Chinese medicine with Western medicine' drove anxiety in people about the independence of Chinese medicine.

Her work, China Medical Board and Peking Union Medical College, is not only an important monograph for the research of the administrative history of the \"Old PUMC\", but also an invaluable first-hand source. As a core participant and witness to the administrative management system of PUMC, Ferguson meticulously documented in her book the specific practice and institutional changes in various aspects such as personnel management, financial operations, academic administration, and Board decision-making throughout the creation and development of PUMC.

The liquid chlorine disinfection was introduced by the Yangshupu Water Plant in 1920, marking the inception of chlorination disinfection practice in China. The measures for a drinking water sanitation management framework, taken by the Shanghai health administrative authorities in the late 1920s, laid the foundation for the widespread adoption of bleaching powder. Bleaching powder was extensively applied to public water sources including wells and riverbanks against cholera during the 1930s. In terms of technological practice, bleaching powder was used directly as powder, then gradually improved as liquid, followed by chlorine bleach tablets. After that, two chlorination methods were developed: single-dose chlorination and continuous chlorination in order to solve problems such as poor stability, excessive residue and inaccurate dosing. The driving force for the use of bleaching powder and epidemic prevention was technology dissemination to support public health led by the government. Bleaching powder disinfection represented a pivotal shift from traditional empirical approaches to modern chemical treatment of decentralized drinking water systems in Shanghai, meeting the practical demands for stability, convenience and safety.","PeriodicalId":35995,"journal":{"name":"中华医史杂志","volume":"56 4","pages":"236-240"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2026-07-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148724898","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It was initially planned to be published quarterly in February, May, August and November each year. However, it was not released on schedule because of Wang Shenxuan's busy clinic. The journal was closed partly because the Suzhou Women's Medical Association no longer specialised in the medicine for women, with the enlargement of its enrollment size, and partly because it changed its name to the Suzhou National Medical Society. The journal released a total of 12 issues. It took root in traditional Chinese medicine theories in the content and focused on exploring practice clinically and academically with reference of western medicine. As the journal of the Suzhou Women's Medical Association, it also undertook the mission of liaising with internal and external members of the association and teaching and training people for the purpose of public health.
