| Emperors were at the top of feudal social power.In the era of imperial system,they were gifted with the power of the emperor and enjoyed glory and wealth.But apart from being emperors,they also suffer from diseases like ordinary people.Because the emperor's status is noble,and his support is excellent,he has been in a state of luxury and leisure for a long time,so the disease of plaster sorghum has become a common disease in his life.Tang Dynasty is the golden age of the development of feudal society in China.During this period,the country's politics,economy and culture all have a very good development.Medical treatment has also been developed in this golden age.The compilation of medical books,the emergence of a generation of famous doctors such as Sun Simiao,the improvement of palace medicine,the construction of local medical institutions,and the emergence of social medical aid groups all reflect the progress of medical treatment in the Tang Dynasty.Under the centralization of power,the emperor was in charge of the Supreme power.When the emperor is ill,there will be special institutions to diagnose and treat the disease for him.The laws and regulations related to the emperor's medical system are also reflected in the Tang Law and the Medical Disease Order,which contain strict provisions such as"harmony and imperial medicine","supervision and tasting medicine",aiming at providing more protection for the emperor's medical system at the legislative level.Of course,medical education in Tang Dynasty was still in the process of continuous development and perfection,and the establishment of official teaching institutions such as Tai Medical Department was also maturing.At the central level,with the help of the medical teaching mode of branch teaching and through the examination of medical examination,the Royal Crown screened and selected the best students to enter the ranks of imperial doctors in order to serve the Royal Family.In the specific medical practice,when the emperor needed specific medical services,he would also recruit some famous folk doctors and magicians to diagnose his illness.Whether in the general system level or in the specific medical record processing level,the legal system is doing its best to ensure that the emperor's disease can be fully diagnosed and treated.Emperors of the Tang Dynasty paid more attention to health preservation and medical development.However,when doctors are treating the emperor,they are often subject to great restrictions.Under the political concept of emperor's supremacy,the treatment of emperors will also become a high-risk behavior.Doctors should not only comply with the rules of medical treatment,but also be careful to avoid touching any taboos related to imperial power.What's more,even if the doctor's medical and diagnostic activities are all right,the emperor's anger will often be punished.Many Tang Dynasty magicians believed in all kinds of river and lake magicians because they sought the way to live forever,and made them practice alchemy.Because they took the medicine for a long time,it damaged their health and affected the normal government affairs,which had a great influence on the national politics.The emperor is a special subject of law different from his subjects.Under the influence of the order of politics and religion and the idea of destiny,the imperial body is the state body.To provide medical services for the emperor is not only to treat the physical and mental health of the emperor,but also to intervene indirectly in the political order of the country.As the Tang Law has a very important influence on the compilation of ancient codes in China,Song Dynasty's Song Penalty System and Ming Dynasty's Darning Law have inherited it in the legislative spirit and specific system.Therefore,the systematic provisions of the medical system in the Tang Law can also be inherited by later generations.Although there are many benefits and losses in the specific system,the core spirit of the emperor's medical system has been preserved for a long time. |
