The Hong Kong Association of Chinese Medicine was a Chinese medicine association in Hong Kong, established in 1930. It had a great influence on the modern history of Hong Kong, with its relatively long duration as a well-organized institution. Based on the manuscripts, correspondence, official letters and historical materials from Lu Juefei, the former president of the society, its history was clarified in terms of establishment background, institution evaluation, main contribution and key figures of the society. It was found that the establishment and evaluation of the association went through the period of the Republic of China, struggling for survival and innovation of traditional Chinese medicine. The society contributed greatly to defending and safeguarding the rights and status of Chinese medicine and promoting the development of Chinese medicine in the Hong Kong area. However, it was restricted by colonial domination in terms of the lack of its voice and effective administration. This indicates that it was difficult for Hong Kong Chinese medicine to fully develop because Chinese medicine physicians had to survive by mutual assistance and autonomous rules.

This article seeks to advance the debate surrounding contemporary attitudes to settler colonialism in Britain by looking at the reinvention of the reputation of the former Rhodesian prime minister Ian Smith in British print media. This is becoming an increasingly important area of historical debate, but one that has not yet been fully explored. In order to investigate these issues, this article uses journalistic sources to reconstruct the ways in which Smith was talked about in public debate during the period from Zimbabwean independence in 1980 to his death in 2007. It argues that, while in the 1980s Smith was generally dismissed and condemned for his role in Rhodesia’s Unilateral Declaration of Independence, by the later 1990s and 2000s assessments were far more mixed, with many people comparing him favourably against Robert Mugabe. Indeed, it suggests that the suffering of Zimbabwe under Mugabe was the catalyst for Smith’s rehabilitation. Ultimately, it posits that interest in Smith highlights the unusually extensive interest that opinion formers had in Zimbabwean affairs, which was a legacy of the unique status of Rhodesia within the British empire.

This article is the first to reconstruct the contemporary legend that Charles Stewart Parnell staged his own death in 1891, pending his messianic return. Although the British press folklorized it as a pre-modern Irish ‘peasant’ delusion, this article demonstrates that the story was one of several pseudocidal narratives about ‘great men’ shaped by the British ‘cult of Napoleon’. The legend did circulate in Ireland, but among city-dwelling Dubliners, not ‘peasants’. This article argues that for some urban Parnellites it functioned as a mode of political resistance; but for most Irish people, doubt and uncertainty, rather than wholehearted belief, characterized its reception.

Formula presenting refers to the donation and submission of formula and prescriptions of Chinese medicine, organised by the Chinese government from 1954 to 1959. It was found that such donations and submissions of formula and prescriptions of Chinese medicine initiated from Sichuan, Anhui and Fujian due to their lack of medicine and physicians and the high incidence of epidemic diseases. This view is based on the literature such as books published at that time, local chronicles and relevant studies. The submissions were organised formally by the Ministry of Public Health in 1959 and distributed all over the country. It was found that the number of books published with such donated and submitted formula and prescriptions rose, and these books published were distributed in twenty-seven provinces, including country sides. It shows that such donation and submission of formula and prescriptions of Chinese medicine had a far-reaching impact on research and treatment for regional epidemic diseases and the development of traditional Chinese medicine.

Annotated Treatise on Febrile Diseases by Cheng Wuji is believed to be the earliest and fully annotated Treatise on Febrile Diseases remaining in China. It has had a profound influence because it was once a popular version of Treatise on Febrile Diseases. It was found that in this book "once constipation lasted for six or seven days, there might be dry excrement. In this case, Xiao Chengqi decoction should be taken (was used here in Chinese) for this condition". However, "" seems not to be used appropriately in this context. Therefore, archival research was used to analyse the meaning of "" and "" and Chinese Textual Bibliography was used to review the use of "" and "" in main versions of Annotated Treatise on Febrile Diseases.

Min Daoyang, known as Shou Quan Shan Ren, was a traditional Chinese medicine physician in the Xin'an School, from Shexian in the Anhui area during the period of Jiajing and Wanli in the Ming Dynasty. He had many medical books published, such as Yi Zhi Ru Yi Fang Mai, Quan Ying Yao Lan, Yi Xue Ji Yao,Shang Han Zuan Lu, Yi Xue Hui Zuan, Nv Ke Bian Lan, Yao Fang Ge Kuo and Yi Xue Ren Shu Bian Lan. However, currently only three of these books remain. They are Yi Zhi Ru Yi Fang Mai, Quan Ying Yao Lan and Yi Xue Ji Yao. The current version of Yi Zhi Ru Yi Fang Mai was printed in the 4th year of the Gengwu in the Ming Dynasty (1570), and the remains of this version are held in the Wujiang Library. Quan Ying Yao Lan, published in the 6th year of Renshen (1572) in the period of Longqing of the Ming Dynasty, as a complete Jinling version, is now held in the "National Central Library" of Taiwain province. Yi Xue Ji Yao, as a transcript version in the Edo period in Japan, is now held in the Cabinet Library of the National Archives of Japan.

In 1908, Wang You and Yang Hongtong, who studied in Japan, translated Han Yi Shi Yong Fa Yi Xue Da Quan(Practical forensic medicine translated into Chinese), which was the first book of the modern forensic medicine translated from Japanese and the first independent translation of the book of the modern forensic medicine by Chinese, playing an important role in the history of the development of modern forensic medicine and the history of scientific and technological exchanges in China. Han Yi Shi Yong Fa Yi Xue Da Quan introduced to China the advanced basic knowledge, techniques and instruments of modern forensic medicine in foreign countries in the form of textbooks, and supplemented the deficiencies of traditional Chinese forensic toxicology, forensic material evidence and other knowledge. It is found that the background of forensic science of Wang You and Yang Hongtong makes Han Yi Shi Yong Fa Yi Xue Da Quan show the characteristics of the combination of Chinese and Western and graphic combination. Han Yi Shi Yong Fa Yi Xue Da Quan has been actively spread in modern times. In the late Qing Dynasty, it was taken as the textbook of the examination and learning Institute of the capital by the Ministry of Law, and continued to be republished after the Republic of China, which had an important impact on the creation and development of modern forensic medicine.

The Interim Regulations on Chinese Medicine Shops and Western Pharmacy Registration issued by the Shanghai Bureau of Illegal Drugs in 1922, required that Chinese medicine shops in Shanghai area be audited, registered and pay registration fees. This regulation was abolished along with the dissolution of the Shanghai Bureau of Illegal Drugs in 1925. The Interim Regulations on Chinese Medicine Shops and Western Pharmacy Registration drove people, to some extent, to attach the importance and awareness of Chinese medicine and its administration. While it had some problems, such as improper intention and unclear concepts in the period of the Republic of China, a sound system for traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) administration had not been established. It confirmed that Chinese materia medica has its unique knowledge system and development form, therefore, should not be uniformly administered as Western medicine. It indicated that TCM pharmacy administration should have a reasonable system and channels to promote the development of the Chinese materia medica industry.
