Abstract: The academic circles have been talking more about the flourishing development of the Song Dynastys pharmaceutical industry and the remarkable achievements of the legal system construction,but less about the crimes and related laws and regulations in the medical field.The Song Dynasty government had formulated and promulgated a number of laws and regulations in response to violations and crimes in the fields of medical officers,military doctors,folk doctors and medicinal materials.These regulations and systems had a high degree of pertinence and emphasis:they had tighter supervision over medical officers and imported fragrant medicines,and looser supervision over folk doctors and medicinal materials.The above measures did form a relatively complete regulatory system for illegal and criminal activities in the pharmaceutical field at that time.Relevant laws and systems had indeed played a certain role in combating and deterring illegal and criminal acts in the pharmaceutical field.However,the witch doctors in the Song Dynasty were still active and common,and counterfeit and shoddy medicines were still widespread.Taking history as a mirror,the relevant experience and lessons of the Song Dynasty deserve further study by the academic circle.

Key words: the Song Dynastys medicine, medical officers, military doctors, folk doctors, medicinal materials
