Notes

• 1) There are various kinds of "healing" taking place in stories in Yijian zhi. Here I only focus on those concerning uses of medical knowledge which comes from what Angela Leung has called, the "scholarly tradition"-that is, materials that were written in standard medical texts, especially those that were compiled, published, and distributed under the patronage of the Song state (375). This is to highlight my point that the authority of "standard" medical knowledge was challenged not simply by the popular or shamanistic (the "non-scholarly") tradition but also by the popular use and discussion of the scholarly tradition.
• 2) As Angela Leung has pointed out, the Song scholarly tradition was "characterized by a highly pragmatic approach, consisting of the study of materia medica and the publication of prescription manuals, as well as an elaborate system of public dispensaries," and that the Song state's interest in publishing medical books "derived less from a philological search for historical authenticity than a desire to promote an image of state benevolence" (375-76).
• 3) One story in Yijian zhi tells about some supernatural incidents happening in Shuzhou (the Shu Prefecture) in 1146 when the blocks of Prescriptions of Sacred Benevolence were reproduced there. Yijian zhi, bing, 12.464.
• 4) HJJF 3.76. First compiled in 1107-10, expanded and distributed throughout the empire by the court during the Southern Song.
• 5) Referring to "Baizhu" and "Chizhu" recorded in Tao Hongjing (452-536)'s Variorum of Materia Medica.
