title: [New evidence for the author of the medical ethics novel Doctor's Mirror].
abstract: Yijiejing (Doctor's Mirror), the first novel focused on medical ethics in the late Qing dynasty, aimed at meliorating medical ethical atmosphere by criticizing disorders among medical practitioners. Some contents of this novel were the same as those in Yijie Xianxingji (Revelation of Medical Community). By comparison between the two books and investigation on Doctor's Mirror's introduction, preface and advertisement in the newspaper at that time, we could find that the author of Doctor's Mirror was not the novelist LU Shi-e, but YU Wen-yao, the author of Yijie Xianxingji. Distribution of Yijie Xianxingji was stopped soon after its publication by the Commercial Press for its allusion to a famous doctor in Shanghai. Two years later, YU made some slight modifications the details of the novel's characters and his book was published with a different title Doctor's Mirror and the pen-name 'medical hermit among scholars'.
