Abstract
In the Sui and Tang Dynasties,the understanding of the children reflected on the pediatric medicine can reflect the views on children.Firstly,it was a birth theory that couldn't determine gender,which was the reflection of the social will to give birth to a boy.Secondly,it was the weak spirit that connected the high death rate of children with supernatural ghosts and gods.At the same time,children also played an important role in medical diagnosis and treatment.The deification of the effectiveness of children's urine was actually the analogy and deduction of Taoist formula.The production of medicines couldn't be seen by children,and virgin's participation in the pharmaceutical industry reflected the coexisting views of the magic and filth.In the Middle Ages,under the background of witchcraft,ghost and fairy legends,children and children's viscera were not only the sacrifice of ghosts and gods,but also the medicine for making golden elixirs in the political rumors of the Tang Dynasty.Generally speaking,children,especially the young children,had a more prominent imperfect nature of their bodies.Children were not yet the complete human beings.
