| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The purpose of this study was to clarify the functions of Chinese medicine in East Asia from the 7th to 12th centuries, and in what ways it connected various regions, including Japan.The study results were as follows:
(1) Chinese medicine functioned to alleviate problems and cultural friction arising in diplomacy between East Asian nations.(2) Chinese medicine was involved in a wide range of areas, including in the daily lives, rituals, domestic rule, and foreign missions of monarchies in various regions. These matters required East Asian medicinal materials.
We conclude that our analysis has provided a realistic picture of East Asian exchanges, one that differs from those seen in diplomatic, economic, and religious exchanges.

| Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements |
前近代東アジアにおいて中国医学は中国のみならず、日本、朝鮮半島、ベトナムなど、広域で受容され、影響力をもった。ところが、従来の対外交流史の文脈では医学関係史料が用いられることは少なかった。本研究はこのような研究の空白を埋める形で、東アジア交流史の中に医薬関係史料をある程度定置することが出来た。このような事実は、今後の研究に寄与するものと思われる。また、本研究は遣唐使や日本・渤海関係、国内官司などが必要とする薬物と東アジアの関係性について分析をしたことから、日本史のみならず、東洋史や医学史など、隣接する学問分野への接続とその基礎作業としての社会的意義を持つものと考える。
