AB - This study examined the subjects and medical methods of medical treatment at the time by referring to the ancient literature related to ancient Chinese doctors and medical care in the inscriptions on bones or tortoise shells of the Shang Dynasty, Epigraphy of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period and 《Shuowen Jiezi》 of the Eastern Han Dynasty. The medical subjects of primitive ancient China that appear in oracle bone inscriptions and 《Shuowen Jiezi》 are shamans。 At that time, the shamans were people in charge of politics, culture, sorcery, and rain calling ceremonies. They were individuals with considerable spirituality, status, and cultural literacy. The ancient medical techniques that emerged from the text included the witched-doctors treating diseases by prayers, stone needles used in acupuncture, massage, moxibustion therapy, and medication to treat patients。 In oracle bone inscriptions, the characters used to represent the witched-doctors treating diseases by prayers are " 祝 " and " 兌 ", while in《ShuowenJiezi》, the characters used to represent witched-doctors treating diseases by prayers are " 禦 " and "呪 ". The character " 砭 " represents the " stone needle treatment method". The characters used to represent acupuncture therapy are “殷”, “”, “鍼 , and “ ”. The characters for massage therapy is “尉”. The characters used to represent moxibustion are "灸", " 灼 ", and " 艾 ". The words for drug therapy are "毒", "藥", "樂", and . Through the analysis of the above texts and ancient literature, we will examine the traces of various treatments and pharmacological methods used by primitive Chinese ancient people.
