Abstract
Medicine is no minor art comes from Complete Compendium of Zhang Jingyue. In this more personal writing, Zhang (1563-1640), a medical luminary of the Ming dynasty, recounts an encounter with an extraordinary person in Korea. It questions the meaning of being a practitioner. Is the purport of medicine simply about the act of practising? Furthermore, what is the ultimate aim of medicine? These questions were asked and etched in ink more than four centuries ago. May they still bring inspiration to practitioners today.
