The Prvention,Treatment And Influence Of The Smallpox In Qinng Dynasty

If we take a sweeping view on the history research of China, we can see that from ancient to today, the major content of them is about politics, economy and culture. The content of the society is very little, and the history of famine is even less. Research smallpox can not only expand the range of famine history, but also provide use for reference for the sociology and the modern medicine science.The smallpox stemmed from The Old Asia and Africa Continent, and with the war, migration, and colony development, it spread to all over the world gradually. Since Dong Han Dynasty, the smallpox started to infect in China, and it can be seen from Gehong' Zhouhoubeijifang of Don Jin Dynasty. At the first, people knew it very little, and the medical condition of that time was so poor, that a lot of people died. And more people who infected by smallpox survived with a faceful pockmarks. So, since its infected to China, Chinese people started to find a way to cure it.The invention of vaccination in Song Dynasty was a great progress in smallpox's prevention history. From then on, the doctors invented Doujiang vaccination, Shuimiao vaccination, Douyi vaccination Hanmiao vaccination and etc. Among those ways, Songjiang group's way is the best. After that time, Chinese vaccination was taken to Europe. Jenner Edward, an Enligh doctor improved the vaccination to cowpox vaccination, and accomplished the second leap of vaccination. The discovery of the cowpox vaccination let the danger of vaccination more less, and cost lest.In nineteen century, Enligh doctor Pearson came to Macao to spread the cowpox vaccination. So Chinese people started to vaccinate cowpox. By the end of seventeen of twenty century, the smallpox was eradicated all over the world. Today we research it again, it may provide some guide for the prevention, treatment for some other infectious disease especially SARS.
