Cure at the beginning when people appear, cure an organic whole with the witch. That because people, during the process of making a living, accumulate medical experience gradually more and more centralized grasping eldering or handing of the wise among clan gradually. When wizardry and primitive religious superstition begin to rule people's head, treat and explain the thing of disease is mainly concurrently in charge of by the witch in the clan, so the medical experience of linking with wizardry is the sacred, knowledge that can't be examined in people's eyes at that time. This have " I smell ancient sage, do not occupy imperial court must among divining medicine " Jia Yi speak just. In primitive society period, the witch's status is the most lofty, so attach to its body's " medicine " The position is very illustrious. However, with the development of society, people, to the further understanding of disease, the function of witch and medicine splits up, " letter medicine does not believe witches " Concept gradually get the upper hand. Get the Confucianists theory rule after the thought of people, one hundred worker skill skillful to become people lowly job of the mind, and their theory technology becomes in people's eyes " The side road " . Include curing among them. So job this to disdain quite to doctor in China ancient people, even some court officials regard studying the medical skill as shame, all these have confirmed decline of curing people's social status. Moreover, can find out ancient to cure people petty and low and people to his scornful attitude of identity at appellation to take up a job as a doctor people change, for instance: Grassy marsh medicine, lasting medicine, towns and villages all over the country medicine, itinerant doctor, when good fortune, good fortune medicine, etc.. Fan Zhongyan when Northern Song Dynasty, " it is not a good looks, wishes it for the skilful doctor " Wish let a lot of Confucian scholar of Song Dynasty pay close attention to medical science, seem it is change status to cure people Confucian physician to begin, but the change that people have not remoulded oneself thoroughly to the view which cure people in fact, practise cause of medicine from court official, and experience of doctor of Confucian physician watch, the social status of curing people has not got the change in essence. The big Chinese toon was in the medium cloud of author's preface of " theory of medical source and course " slowly in Qing Dynasty: "Medicine, side road too, precise justice too, important task too, even lowpriced worker. " The ones that have well reflected while curing the community responsibility with enormous people's lowly social status and medical science since time immemorial are entangled with.This text regards social status of the ancient doctor of our country as the research object, on the basis of collecting a large number of historical datas, do more comprehensive argumentation and analysis to the state of the social status level of ancient doctor of our country. Click and lie in, pass horizontal and longitudinal comparison to historical data in innovation herein, pay attention to, cure people oneself to attitude to practise medicine, every dynasty government to view to cure people right policy and each era common people to cure people, to represent the ancient level changing and influence to medical development of doctor's social status of every periods of our country, it announce at the same time it is in order to curing for people on behalf of China the ancient to engaged in by technology destiny of personnels professional, hope to answer the famous one from the side " Joseph Li's difficult problem ".The text part of the article is mainly divided into three parts:Part one: Studied and cured people's social status before Tang. This part focus on describe about " The witch doctor " With " a medicine " Social status. In the integrative era of witch doctor, because medical knowledge is only under a few people's control, moreover people's understanding of disease is full of color of superstition, so the social status of curing people at this moment is still very high. But constant to know to disease with people, cure witch begin, separate, doctor appear, pay attention to behind historical stage as one job, become the lowly job in minds of people instead. But in Wei Jin period, a medicine pay attention to making pills of immortality and keeping in good health, despise real medical technology, have influenced the development of China's traditional medical theory virtually.Part two Study the social status state that cured people in the Tang Dynasty. The government has been strengthened and paid attention to in the medical respect in the Tang Dynasty, but rotated in curing the moving of the officer and limited, cure people's social status and is not changed by essence; On the other hand " Hour medicine ", " medicine of good fortune " With ancient to cure people treat delicate relation under competence, from make one side reflect, cure people social status low; And lay in with the difference of former generation, court official's stratum was still medical science of the concern in the Tang Dynasty in the Tang Dynasty, Confucian physician established the foundation this Song Dynasty.Part three: It was the Confucian physician in Song Dynasty that was studied. Because some court officials began to be close to medical science in the Tang Dynasty, brought on Confucian physician's stratum in Song Dynasty. Though common people for extremely high appraisal to the Confucian physician, the social status of curing people has not got the basic change. This cures people to curing the social status state of people's colony and can all be reflected beyond the inclination of Confucianism and Confucian physician since practising the cause of curing of Confucian physician.
