摘要:
This paper examines the controversies
aroused by western medical missionaries in China.
The missionaries utilized surgical proceedings with
dramatic effects to facilitate the conversion of the
Chinese. However, the emphasis on the miraculous
aspects of western surgery had its danger. Many
Chinese identified the missionary medics as witch
doctors. The Chinese anti-missionary propaganda
repeatedly claimed that the missionaries gouged out
the eyes of the Chinese for their practice of
alchemy, and took away the organs of the natives to
produced magic pills and opium. Several
anti-missionary riots were instigated by this kind
of rumours. This paper analyzes the ways the
missionaries imbued their medical practices with
religious meanings through rituals and discourse. It
also discusses native reactions to the miraculous
dimension of western medicine, especially how the
anti-missionary Chinese gentry perceived western
medical practice as a form of witchcraft through the
filter of their cultural resources such as Chinese
medical theories, literature and folklore.
