摘要
鸦片作为晚清流波甚广的毒品,给吸食者带来难以恢复的生理伤害,也造成严重的道德及社会影响,成为在华传教事业之障碍。对此,不少传教士试图通过“顺势疗法”与“一体疗法”医治鸦片病人,但收效欠佳。清末,传教士不仅视鸦片瘾为一种生理疾病,还强调是一种“灵魂疾病”,并通过为病人祈祷、唱诗、关心问候等方式进行治疗。这种从身体到心灵的疗法转变,反映出晚清传教士对鸦片认知的转变,同时体现了传教士在鸦片问题上的困境及其应对策略。
As a widespread drug in late Qing Dynasty,opium has brought irreparable physical damage to its users and caused serious moral and social consequences.It has also become an obstacle to missionary work in China.In response,many missionaries attempted to cure opium patients through“homeopathy”and“integrative medicine”,but with little success.At the end of the Qing Dynasty,missionaries not only saw opium addiction as a physical disease,but also emphasized that opium was a“disease of the soul”that should be treated with prayer,scripture reading,hymn singing and other religious means.This shift from healing the body to healing the soul reflects the change in missionaries’perception of opium in the late Qing dynasty,as well as the missionaries’dilemma on the opium issue and their coping strategies.
