"HouHanShu · ritual of zhang heng with volunteers", the daily Tokyo this ode to record. It reflects people use their intended poetic ailments QiKai beat epidemic.

     Qin han period, the war, plague and other reasons, population growth, so slow to children and women and their fertility more concerned by the qin dynasty, this also is the influence of such zhao legacy, doctor tend to also want to note that these, the QuLi ceremonies.from the, "account:" entry and asked the forbidden kingdom and asked vulgar, so, the introduction and asked." Reflects that the attention custom. The wind of han dynasty is very thick, the respect such as "half past autumn moon of jehu, case than people in the 1970s and 1980s taught to jade battle, lilly, 90, and give jade rod to add to the epicureans, long feet of birds that are acted the role of, epicureans, birds to old man choked not choke."

Send Take measures of lepers, death row, take buried alive and drowned at the time the way, in a certain extent to prevent leprosy, has its positive significance.

      "And the wonderful indeology zhiguei, show the Taoism and medical close contact. "To" huai south son "LianDan, drug regimen guiding, etc, Taoism has to zhou yi can tong qi" appeared and a transmutation, more will study goal in medicine and human deep cultural issues.

Into the mountains, cla for fairy, abandon 2 pro, flesh, grain, rejects donation. Read back of heaven and earth pass, for the word of the undead treasure, not so SARS prevention are traffic." In the han dynasty, wang chong of how article in "the balance in the heaven-man relationship, covering both god form relationships, medicine and health care, disease prevention, and change embodied in poor health fashionable etc., wang chong of age in, religious consciousness overflow, GuangWuDi only two han (AD 26 years)" early signs of luoyang city "in effect, as a shrine gods, to hanxi chapter 1514 when more filled the high-energy emperor, in this culture atmosphere, kuang, wang chong force us GuXiang critical fairy said, said, and witchcraft, superstitious taboos, induced not actual timing choice, etc, this paper expounds the philosophical and scientific medical view that people life span and mission, not appoint relevant gas bao hou. "Say ChiSong, WangQiao good way for fairy, degrees immortality, is the virtual also."
