From the early Taoist diagrams of the human body to the end of the Qing Dynasty and the beginning of the Republic of China, Taoists exaggerated and deformed the human spine in a shape-shifting manner. It is likely that medical practitioners were influenced by this style of representation, and there are also numerous diagrams of the human body with the curved spine in the lateral-view diagrams of viscera and Ming Tang Tu (明堂图), which always show the human torso in an elliptical "egg shape". No later than the Ming dynasty, medical practitioners began to depict the actual physiological spinal curve of the human body. By the Qing dynasty, the depiction of the spinal curve in medical diagrams of the human figure showed a tendency to part ways with the Taoist freehand style of the previous generation. Although the representation of the curve of the spine was very crude, later medical images of the human body at least gradually straightened the spine and no longer depicted it in a shape-shifting manner. However, the curved spine in Taoist diagrams of the human body continued to exist, and the presentation of the curved spine never changed. This way of depicting its appearance, which is very different from reality, is shaped by Taoism's special way of perceiving and viewing the body, and may also contain another form of truth.

Ukiyo-e (浮世絵) was a genre of popular art during the Edo and Meiji periods in Japan. Moxibustion, which was introduced from China at the first place, was also in its heyday and became one of the popular topics for ukiyo-e artists at that time. Using the images as historical evidence perspective, this article focuses on the moxibustion used in daily life in Japan depicted in the ukiyo-e arts. With the perspective of acu-moxa therapy, one may identify some specific issues in the acupoint selection, leading to the discovery of special application of moxibustion used by the group of yūjo (遊女) at that time. The article concludes by exploring gender issues in ukiyo-e arts and the implications of punishment attached to moxibustion treatment.

At the beginning of the initial cholera outbreak in China, Wang Qingren (王清任), after years of clinical trials, became an early representative who discovered the infectious characteristics and observed the course of cholera in the field of traditional Chinesse medicine (TCM). Later, Kou Langao (寇兰皋) and Xu Zimo (徐子默), both medical practitioners, constructed a diagnosis and treatment system for cholera with cold patterns under the theory of typhoid. They represented "School of Cholera with Cold Patterns" (SCCP). In the 1860s, with the influence of Wang Shixiong’s (王士雄) studies on the nature of cholera under the theory of epidemic febrile disease, the "School of Cholera with Heated Patterns" (SCHP) prevailed thereafter. The two schools complemented each other in theories and contributed to the integrity of TCM in cholera diagnosis and treatment. By reviewing previous literature, books, clinical cases, and historical materials in medical field, this article aims 1) to summarise the influence TCM on the perception development towards cholera in the late Qing dynasty; 2) to explore the origin of the controversy between SCCP and SCHP from historical evidence; 3) to summarize the historical lessons from the debate over cholera in TCM based on the principle of treatment based on pattern identification, and offer suggestions for the current prevention and treatment of new diseases using TCM.

ChatGPT, developed by OpenAI, is currently the largest language model with robust interactive capabilities. As a complementary alternative medicine (CAM), Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) represents an established medical system with a rich history and abundant clinical experience. TCM is an empirical medicine, the process of which is analogous to ChatGPT's learning and development model. In TCM, inquiry is a relatively objective way of traditional syndrome differentiation. Although various artificial intelligence systems related to TCM consultation exist, their interactive abilities remain limited. As such, we standardized the primary complaint and instructed ChatGPT to simulate a TCM practitioner, conducting three comprehensive inquiry tests. The results yielded unexpected conclusions, revealing that ChatGPT could simulate a TCM practitioner's inquiry with patients, confirming its potential in the field of TCM inquiry. However, current applications still pose certain limitations and risks. Hence, to integrate ChatGPT-like language models with traditional TCM AI to establish an associative mode that can facilitate TCM diagnosis and treatment with more convenience and standardization is crucial, yet at the same time, it should be treated very carefully.

The focus in studying or teaching the history of Chinese medicine is often on the doctrines underlying it and on its perception of the body, physiology, pathology, and its treatment. In other words, we often tend to focus on reading and analysing the classical canons and therapy-related texts including formularies and materia medica collections. However, focusing on these sources provides us with a one-sided presentation of Chinese medicine. These studies only show what physicians wrote in order to pass down their knowledge, either theoretical or practical, to their readership. However, these primary sources lack the clinical down-to-earth know-how that encompasses medical treatment, which are represented, for instance, in the clinical rounds of modern medical schools. In other words, our traditional focus on the medical canons and formularies provides almost no clinical knowledge, leaving us with a one-sided narrative that ignores how medicine and healing are actually practiced in the field. This paper focuses on the latter aspect of medicine from a historical perspective. Using written and visual sources dating to the Song dynasty, the paper depicts the clinical encounter between doctors and patients including their families based on case records recorded by a physician, members of the patient’s family, and bystanders. This array of case records or case stories will enable us to narrate the interaction between physicians and patients both from the clinical perspective and from the social interaction. Namely, we can use these case narratives to illustrate the process of diagnosis and treatment all while interacting with members of the patient’s family. I will also discuss visual depictions of the medical encounter to provide another perspective for narrating medicine during the Song dynasty. Medical case records and paintings depicting medical encounter are exemplary of the potential of Chinese primary sources for narrative medicine.

Autoimmune diseases of the nervous system (ADNS) are characterized by the formation of a pronounced neurologic deficit and often lead to disability. The attention of doctors and researchers is increasingly attracted by complementary medicine as adjuvant or preventive therapy for various diseases, including autoimmune diseases. Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) is a combination of treatment methods that include acupuncture, herbal medicine, dietetics, physical exercises, and other methods that are often used in conjunction with recognized approaches of official medical science. The article describes the application of TCM techniques in autoimmune diseases of the nervous system, and demonstrates clinical experience in the use of acupuncture, herbal medicine, diets and physical exercises. Traditional and complementary medicine is an important and often underestimated healthcare resource, especially in the prevention and treatment of autoimmune diseases of the nervous system.
