【摘要】
日治初期,開辦總督府醫學校來培養現代化西醫,也同時為了有效控制臺灣傳統漢醫的數量,制訂「臺灣醫生免許規則」,舉辦漢醫資格考試等多項「抑中揚西」的政策,使臺灣漢醫日漸式微。但臺灣人民並未因此放棄傳統醫學,漢醫亦在環境中求生,如參加資格考試,漢醫藥學者與仕紳多次請願,甚至在鼠疫、霍亂等疫情中投入防疫行列。

Laid down rules to supervise the amount of TCM (Traditional Chinese Medicine) doctors, held TCM qualifying exams. All these policies were to suppress TCM and to support modern medicine. As the result, TCM had been diminished gradually. However, Taiwanese people didn’t give up on traditional medicine. TCM doctors strove in this situation as well, such as taking qualifying exams, sending petition to the government, and invested in the works against epidemics.
