The Tradition of External Treatment in Lingnan Medicine
Lingnan(岭南)is located in southern China,and its medical culture not only has distinct local characteristics,but also has the characteristics of a marginal culture.Since Ge Hong(葛洪)'s period of seclusion on Luofu Mountain(罗浮山),the development of Lingnan medicine o-ver time has presented different features.However,it is distinguished by the attention paid to the prevention and treatment of surgical diseases such as wounds,snake bites and bone injuries,and re-lied heavily on external treatments such as surgery,dressing,heat ironing and acupuncture.The continuous influence of Taoist culture,the special natural geographical environment,the non-textual knowledge mode of transmission and the mechanism of regional cultural marginalization all contribu-ted to the formation of this tradition of external treatment of Lingnan medicine.
