Daily books were widely circulated in the book market in the middle and late Ming Dynasty a large amount of daily knowledge was searched in the Daily books,involving astronomical.geography,etiquette,commercial,medicine,etc.Medical knowledge is an important part of it.The medical knowledge was rich in content in the daily books,including not only diagnosis and medication,but also related to the treatment of diffeerent diseases.Medical knowledge was already included in the books before Ming Dynasty.Classification and simplification on the basis of the previous generation in the daily books of the Ming Dynasty.On the one hand,it continues the editing mode of the previous generation of books,on the other hand,the reduction of the printing cost of books in the Ming Dynasty and the new situation of medical development are closely related.These changes make the content easier to use.By sorting out the development history of traditional Chinese medicine,the forms and contents of pre-Ming books,the official and private engravings of the Ming Dynasty,and combining the medical knowledge in daily books in different versions of the Ming Dynasty.I realize that the wording choreography and medical knowledge of the book and these elements are inextricably linked.In the middle and late Ming Dynasty,daily books mostly classified content by "gates".and the specific content layout was listed in the form of "upper and lower layers".In terms of content,it was mainly based on song formulas,prose,and poetry.The text was simple and easy to understand.Some places were accompanied by pictures for explanation.In specific medical knowledge,it was mainly divided into diagnosis and medication.The"upper layer"was the diagnosis,including how to diagnose the pulse,and how to distinguish the disease by the pulse;the"lower Iayer" was the medication,including how to add or subtract medication in the face of different diseases,and some medication loopers.Although these medical knowledges were included in the book,the sources of these knowledge were all traceable.Most of the content was extracted from traditional medical classics and simplified.These simplified medical knowledges were also closely related to the development of medicine in the Ming Dynasty.These books were easier to meet the daily needs of the people.Since daily books were mostly published in Fujian's Jian yang area,this article takes the daily use books in Jian yang area as the starting point,and borrows theories of book history"circulation of circulation" and reading history "readers" to explore the editing and writing of these books,Publishing and circulation.Although these books were popular books,their readers were rarely recorded.By analysis and comparison of the time literacy,carved book costs,different income groups and other factors can be drawn from the content of the reader' come from the Lower-level literati,ordinary people with literacy,and scholars who need medical knowledge.There is not much historical data about this'group of people,but I hope that the research of this article can expand the research on such groups forgotten by history books.Daily books were widely distributed in the middle and late Ming Dynasty.It is great significance to explore the audience of reading behavior and the daily life.
