元朝君主对医家的网罗及其影响

从成吉思汗到忽必烈， 元朝早期的几个君主都重视医药， 尤其是忽必烈， 网罗并重用了相当多的名医， 于是元朝出现了结构严密、职责清晰的太医院制度和独有的三皇庙制度。这些制度大大提高了医学和医家的地位， 也引起了坚持传统观念的汉族知识分子的不满。医官地位极高、儒与医时常斗争， 成为元朝特有的文化现象。

Enlistment of Medical Experts by the Yuan Monarchs and Its Impact

The early monarchs of the Yuan Dynasty, from Genghis Khan to Kublai Khan, especially the latter, were greatly interested in enlisting medical experts to the royal court, and thus came the well organized Royal Medical Institute and the Three Emperor Temple (sanhuang miao), which was a unique medical establishment of the Mongolian administration. They greatly promoted the social status of medicine and medical doctor, but meanwhile annoyed the conservative Chinese intellectuals. The elevation of the position of doctors and the conflict between the doctors and the Confucianistic officials are the cultural phenomena characteristic of the Mongolian regime.
