This article presents a cultural and historical analysis of 20th-century Tibetan medicine. In its expansion into the state bureaucracy, Tibetan medicine has acceded to institutional modernity through transformations in theory, practice, and methods for training physicians. Despite Chinese rule in Tibet, however, Tibetan medicine has not yielded completely to state interests. With the collapsing of the traditionally pluralistic Tibetan health system into the professional sector of Tibetan medicine, contemporary Tibetan medicine has become to the laity a font of ethnic revitalization and resistance to the modernization policies of the Chinese state. These processes are particularly evident in the elaboration of disorders of rlung, a class of sicknesses that, collectively, have come to symbolize the suffering inherent in rapid social, economic, and political change.
本文对20世纪的藏医学进行了文化和历史分析。在向国家官僚机构扩展的过程中，藏医学通过理论、实践和医师培养方法的转变，融入了制度现代性。然而，尽管中国对西藏进行统治，藏医学并未完全屈从于国家利益。随着传统多元的藏医健康体系瓦解为藏医学的专业领域，当代藏医学对普通民众而言已成为民族振兴的源泉以及对中国国家现代化政策的一种抵抗。这些过程在对“隆”病的阐述中尤为明显，“隆”病这一类病症共同象征着快速的社会、经济和政治变革所固有的苦难。
