Abstract

Historic medical texts in China focused on schematic representations of external pathologies for the most part, but Imperially Commissioned Golden Mirror of the Orthodox Lineage of Medicine (御纂醫宗金鑑, Yuzuan yizong jinjian), published in 1742, stands out for its illustrations of disease states. This contribution explores depictions of smallpox and breast abscesses, as they appeared in The Golden Mirror.
