Description |
Drawing of an inoculation knife fromSun Shi yi'an(Doctor Sun's Casebooks) by Sun Qishun (Qing period, 1644-1911), dated 1817 (22nd year of the Jiaqing reign period of the Qing dynasty, Ding Chou year).Doctor Sun's Casebooks run to 68 juan (volumes). In them, Sun Qishun records a variety of case histories under the rubrics 'Nei' (Internal), 'Wai' (External),Fu(Gynecological),Er(Paediatric) andWuguan(Five sensory organs). This illustration comes from Book 1: 'Inoculation with cowpox'.The text states: The inoculation knife is made from pure steel and has a sharp point. It is shaped like a dagger with a sharp double-edged blade, approximately 1cun[Chinese inch, c. 3 cm.] in length and 0.2-0.3cunin width. It is kept in a protective sheath. During inoculation, with the aid of this knife, the pox is pierced and pus obtained, which is then inoculated into thexiaoluo(Extinguishing Brightness) andqinglengyuan(Clear Cold Abyss) acu-moxa points of both arms of the child, who is thus prevented from succumbing to infection.
