Before Liberation, the study on Chinese military medicine is a virgin land. Since 1949, preliminary investigation has been made in ancient military medicine in China. Unfortunately, the study is rather superficial in the definition, scope and division of historical period of the ancient military medicine. PLA used to pay attention to the investigation and systematization and many reminescences, original articles and monographs have been published. In view of the lack of systematization in this field, the Ministry of Health of General Logistics Department, PLA, organized, in 1988, experts and professors of military medicine, together with administrators, scientific cadres, to compile Chinese History of Military Medicine which was completed in 1994, to be published soon.
