Tamba no Yasuyori

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Tamba no Yasuyori ( Japanese 丹波 康 頼 ; * 912 ; † May 21, 995 ( traditional : Engi 12 - Chōtoku 1/4/19)) was a Japanese doctor of the Heian period .

There are various theses on the genealogical background of the Tamba family ; they are probably emigrants from China. Tamba no Yasuyori himself came from the Amata district in Tamba Province (today Fukuchiyama , Kyoto Prefecture ). It is undisputed that Tamba no Yasuyori, as a doctor and acupuncturist at the court of Tennō, wrote the first medical work of Japan between the years 982 and 984 with the work Ishimpō, which is divided into 30 parts . He was well versed in Chinese literature and used more than a hundred texts from the Sui and Tang periods . He presented the finished work to the Tennō En'yū .

Like the equally well-known Wake family, the descendants as high-ranking court physicians ( 典 薬 頭 , ten'yaku no kami , kusuri no kami ) exerted a great influence on the development of medicine in Japan for generations.
