近日，四川省省会成都市金牛区天回镇老官山汉墓考古工作基本结束。在这座位于成都地铁三号线建设工地的古墓中，出土了大量西汉时期（公元前202年-公元9年）的珍贵文物。墓内出土了920余支竹简，其中184支医简内容为《医马书》，另外736支医简可分为9部医书，涵盖众多医学领域。成都文物考古研究所副研究员谢涛介绍，从出土的医书分析，其中部分有可能是失传已久的中医扁鹊学派经典书籍。扁鹊是春秋战国时期的名医，生活在公元前5世纪。图为汉墓群发掘现场出土了大量珍贵文物。[成都文物考古研究所 供图]
Over 920 medical bamboo slips, together with other historical relics of the Western Han Dynasty (202 BC- 9 AD), were found in a subway construction site in Chengdu, capital city of southwest China's Sichuan Province. A total of 184 bamboo slips are said to be the "guidebook" for horse vets. The remaining 736 can be categorized into nine separate medical texts covering various domains. According to Xie Tao, a research fellow with Chengdu's archaeology institute, the books could be lost medical classics written by the successors of Bian Que, a medical pioneer from the 5th century B.C.
