520 $a This dissertation presents a critical edition and translation of the manuscript Wu Shih Erh Ping Fang (Recipes for Fifty-two Ailments). It is the premier document in the corpus of medical texts discovered in Tomb Three at Ma Wang Tui (burial dated 168 B.C.) and is the oldest manuscript of medical recipes extant in China.
520 $a The text consists of nearly three hundred recipes for the treatment of a large variety of ailments, ranging from dog bites to hemorrhoids and abscesses. Over two hundred and fifty medicinal substances are named in the text, which occasionally includes details about the identification, gathering, and processing of certain herbal drugs. Various forms of therapy are described, including the earliest accounts of cauterization and surgical operations.
520 $a Significantly, a substantial number of recipes provide magical cures. Incantations and exorcistic rituals are used to expel the ailment from the patient's body. The magical recipes reflect the shamanistic traditions of the ancient period. By providing documentation of practices such as the Pace of Yu, a magical dance step used by Taoists of the Six Dynasties period, the Wu Shih Erh Ping Fang also serves to demonstrate the links between Taoism and archaic religious traditions. In addition, the form of incantation employed in the magical recipes can be traced to a tradition of breath magic localized in the general region around Ch'ang Sha, the site of the Ma Wang Tui burial, from Han times down into the Ch'ing.
520 $a The prolegomena to the translation begin by placing the manuscript within the bibliographic framework of old sources on Chinese medicine and pharmacology. This is followed by an essay on the nature of the shaman-physician, including the relation between the physician and other practitioners of magical arts, and an introduction to the magical recipes.
