    Abstract:
    The Jiangpu Ding family was a Gentry Family with many scholars in Nanjing, running through the Ming and the Qing Dynasties. Successful in both medicine and the imperial examination, talents in various fields emerged in large numbers over more than ten generations. Their practice of medicine began with Ding Zhongbao from the original generation, and the second generation of Ding Yi was promoted from a doctor to a local medical officer. From the fifth generation, Ding Feng, became a famous doctor.However, only Ding Yi and Ding Feng were professional doctors in the whole family lineage. The Ding's were still a Gentry Family in essence. The feature of the family was that the Ding's kept their medical background and interests although there existed no professional doctors after Ding Feng in the middle of the Ming Dynasty. This is because the Ding family expected their heirs to acquire medical skills. The Ding's had a number of medical books handed down, such as The Collection of Prescriptions, The Collection of Jade Letters of Pox Department and The Eight Things of Practicing Medicine. 江浦丁氏是南京地区从明初开始传承延续，贯穿明清两朝的士人家族，科第繁荣，医风尤著，历经十余代，各领域人才辈出。丁氏行医自初代丁仲宝始，第二代丁毅由医入仕，业医之风初现，经数代积累，至丁凤医名大盛。但其整个世系专职业医者也仅丁毅、丁凤二人，本质上仍是一个传统士人家族。其特别之处在于，明中期丁凤之后，虽无专职医者，但后代医风未有衰减，家族仍将医术作为家族子弟必修技能。其家亦有《医方集宜》《痘科玉函集》《行医八事图》等医著传世。.
