Abstract：Current research on ancient medical practitioners in the Shandong region tends to focus on specific dynasties,individual case studies,or broadly categorizes them as"Confucian physicians",all of which have certain limitations.This paper selects authors of medical texts from the pre-Qin period to the Qing dynasty in medical history,who were native to Shandong,as representative examples of ancient medical practitioners in the region.The study spans a long historical period and covers a wide range,making it a typical representation of ancient medical practitioners in Shandong.Through methods such as literature research,historical analysis,and a combination of holistic and case-specific approaches,this paper reveals the group characteristics of ancient medical practitioners in Shandong,summarizes their contributions to the development of traditional Chinese medicine,and explores the influence of social and political factors on the development of medicine in Shandong.This study provides new perspectives for research on ancient medical practitioner groups,addresses gaps in the academic study of such groups,and offers reference for research on medical practitioner groups in other regions,particularly medical schools.
