≪睡虎地秦墓竹簡≫ 日書 ＜病篇＞의 질병 판단 형식과 서술 구조 — ＜有疾篇＞과의 비교를 중심으로 = The Form and Narrative Structure of Disease Judgment in the “Bing Pian” of the Rishu from the “Shuihudi Qin Tomb Bamboo Slips”: A Comparison with the “Youji Pian”

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

This study examines the form and narrative structure of five corresponding disease-related entries in the Bing Pian and Youji Pian of the Rishu from the Shuihudi Qin Tomb Bamboo Slips. Rather than identifying individual diseases, symptoms, or disease names, it focuses on how the causes of illness, mediating factors, changes in condition, ritual responses, and final outcomes are arranged and combined within each entry. The comparison of the five corresponding entries also makes it possible to identify both the shared framework and the differences in presentation between the two texts.
The analysis shows that the Bing Pian generally presents illness through a recurring sequence: the occurrence of illness, identification of its cause, mediating factors through which the illness is introduced, progression or alleviation of symptoms, the ritual response denoted by 酢, and death as a possible outcome. Although every entry does not contain all these elements, their repeated arrangement forms a recognizable framework of disease judgment. Disease is thus described not merely as a present physical condition but as a process extending from its cause and development to its anticipated outcome.
The Youji Pian retains this basic framework but presents some elements more selectively or concisely. Its differences from the Bing Pian therefore reflect variation in textual organization rather than an entirely separate system of disease judgment. The comparison also indicates that corresponding entries could preserve a common sequence while differing in the degree of detail assigned to individual stages.
By reconstructing this shared framework and examining its different arrangements in the two texts, this study clarifies how disease-related knowledge was organized and presented in the Rishu. It also demonstrates that structural comparison can reveal relationships between excavated texts that cannot be sufficiently explained through the interpretation of individual words or disease names alone.
