大医精诚

A Master Physician Must Have Superb Skill and Sincerity

伟大的医者既有精湛的医术又有一心济世的情怀。这是唐朝著名医学家孙思邈（581-682）在《千金方》中阐述的医者理念。

A master physician must have both superb medical skills and a desire to help the world. This is how Sun Simiao (581-682), a famous Tang Dynasty physician, described a doctor in his work Essential Formulas for Emergencies.

▌引例

学者必须博极医源，精勤不倦......凡大医治病，必当安神定志，无欲无求，先发大慈恻隐之心，誓愿普救含灵之苦。 （孙思邈《千金方·论大医精诚》）

A person who studies medicine must delve deep into its principles and study tirelessly… When a master physician treats an illness, he must be calm in spirit and free from desires; he must first have a compassionate heart and be committed to relieving the sufferings of all people.

悬壶济世

Hanging a Gourd (Practicing Medicine) to Help the World

行医救助世人。“悬壶”即把装药的葫芦挂起来，作为行医卖药的招牌，泛指从事医疗职业；“济世”是对困苦之人提供救助。

This term means to help people by practicing medicine. “Hanging a gourd” refers to the tradition of using gourd containing medications as a sign for those practicing and selling medicines; it is used more broadly to refer to those in the medical profession. “Helping the world” means providing aid and relief to those in distress.

▌引例

市中有老翁卖药，悬一壶于肆头。 （《后汉书·方术传下·费长房》）

There was an old man who sold medicine in the market. He hung a medicine gourd at his market stand.

苍生大医

A Master Physician to All the People

众生景仰的伟大医者，百姓的好医生。这是唐朝著名医学家孙思邈 (581-682) 在《千金方》中所阐述的理想的医者形象。“苍生”即众生，主要指百姓；“大医”即超乎寻常的、伟大的、令人尊敬的医者。

This term means a great physician held in high esteem by everyone, a good doctor for all the people. This is the ideal image of a physician as described by the famous Tang Dynasty physician Sun Simiao (581-682) in his Essential Formulas for Emergencies. “All the people” refers mainly to the general populace; a “master physician” is an extraordinary doctor who is great and commands respect.

▌ 引例

如此可为苍生大医，反此则是含灵巨贼。 （孙思邈《千金方·论大医精诚》）

Only in this way can he become a master physician to all the people; otherwise he will bring disaster to everyone.

医者仁心

The Caring Heart of a Physician

医者要有仁爱之心。其基本精神，古已有之。唐朝著名医学家孙思邈（581—682）在《千金方·论大医精诚》中，已经有医者应存有恻隐之心也即“仁心”的相关论述。它要求医者对患者要有大爱之心、悲悯之情、救苦之志，不计个人得失，一心治病救人，而医者也因此成为“苍生大医”（众生景仰的伟大医者）。

A physician must have a caring heart. This essential spirit has existed since ancient times. In the chapter “On the Skill and Sincerity of a Master Physician” of his work Essential Formulas for Emergencies, the famous Tang Dynasty physician Sun Simiao (581-682) discussed how a physician should have a compassionate heart, that is, a caring heart. A physician is expected to have great love, a sense of empathy and a desire to relieve suffering; he must disregard personal interests and focus entirely on treating the sick. In so doing, the physician becomes a “master physician to all the people,” a great physician held in high esteem by all the people.

▌引例

凡大医治病，必当安神定志，无欲无求，先发大慈恻隐之心，誓愿普救含灵之苦。 （孙思邈《千金方·论大医精诚》）

When a master physician treats an illness, he must be calm in spirit, and free from desires; he must first have a compassionate heart, and be committed to relieving the sufferings of all people.
