title: [The medical system around the time of unification of the Qin dynasty].
abstract: The State of Qin had formulated a series of relatively complete medical systems which covered the aspects such as the systems of medical officer, military doctor, sanitation and epidemic prevention, the administrations of the invalid, old and young, the medical literatures and legal medicine, around the time of the first unified feudal dynasty establishment in Chinese history. The medical officer system related to the appointment, removal, reward and punishment of medical officials; the sanitation and epidemic prevention related to the mice prevention, fire smoking and isolation; the medicolegal system involved the medicolegal organizations, death examinations, test reports etc. All of the above systems not only inherited the successful experiences in traditional medical systems of the State of Qin before the time of unification, but also absorbed the advantages of medical systems throughout the whole country after the time of unification,which had far-reaching effects on the Han dynasty and successive generations.
