What is the core of ancient medical ethics in China?

Pay attention to the unity of medical ethics and medical skills, and combine medical ethics norms with medical ethics practice; Emphasize the moral cultivation of the subject; Emphasize the unity of heaven and man, harmonious interpersonal relationship and pay attention to the golden mean.

First, the medical purpose of "medicine is benevolence" "medicine is benevolence" means that medicine is the practice of benevolence and the perfect combination of Confucian benevolence and medical essence. Chinese Confucian culture has always emphasized "being a prophet of Confucianism and rationality" and "only knowing medical science". Confucian medicine represents the close combination of general ethics and medicine, and benevolence is the core of general ethics and medical ethics.

Second, respect and cherish the "noble" thought of life. The book Huangdi Neijing says: "Everything is overwhelming and everything is ready, so it is more expensive than people." Five mistakes and four mistakes should be avoided in treating diseases, and doctors should be warned to analyze the causes from pathological and psychological aspects to relieve patients' pain.

Third, the principle of "common equality" In medical practice, ancient doctors emphasized the equal treatment of patients, "common equality" and "saving lives wholeheartedly" from the moral concepts of "benevolence saves lives" and "benevolence of doctors". Sun Simiao put forward: As a doctor, we should be "if someone comes to ask for help when he is sick, we should not ask him whether he is rich or poor, old or young, beautiful or beautiful, friends or friends, foreign or Chinese, vulgar or vulgar. All these are like the thoughts of his closest relatives.

Fourth, loyal to the spirit of medical dedication, many ancient medical furniture have the spirit of not fearing power, not seeking fame and fortune, not caring about personal gains and losses, and dedicating themselves to the medical cause and the people. In feudal society, doctors' status in China was very low, and they were often included in the list of "three religions and nine streams", belonging to the same class as fortune tellers who looked at geomantic omen, so they were called "medical astrology". But in order to save people, they abandoned their official positions and became people's doctors.
