碩士 / 中國醫藥大學 / 中醫學系碩士班 / 99 / Indian and Chinese cultures, which matured in the ancient era, developed fairly complete medical systems thousands of years ago. Many traditional medical approaches are used in India even now. Among these, Ayurveda is considered as mainstream because of its comprehensive theoretical scheme in the initial stages and also because it is the theoretical basis of every sect of traditional medicine in India.
Caraka Samhita and Suwruta Samhita are the most important canons among the many Sanskrit Ayurvedic classics. They are similar to the Su-wen and Ling-shu in traditional Chinese medicine. Neither were authored by a single person nor compiled within a short duration, and both are encyclopedias of ancient medical practices of different regions. For context, Caraka Samhita is a detailed study of internal medicine, while Suwruta Samhita is a comprehensive record of surgical practices.
This study adopted the Sanskrit Ayurvedic classics as the primary documental source, choosing Caraka Samhita and Suwruta Samhita as its main theme. For the foundational theory of Ayurveda, translated both the versions of each classic and the explanations of later commentators, and annotated by referring the modern academics. Its purpose is to describe Ayurvedic theory and thinking during the classical period and to instruct the studying brick of Ayurvedic documental basis by translating contexts of these classics. Building on the above, the study will attempt to draw a comparison of traditional Chinese medicine and Ayurveda.
