Abstract: The relationship between medicine and narrative is closely intertwined, with numerous instances of medical descriptions found in ancient Chinese novels, playing a significant role in propelling the storyline. The death of Li Ping'er in The Plum in the Golden Vase and Qin Keqing in Dream of the Red Chamber presents a causal chain for the plot structure of the novels, with the former overt and the latter more subtle. Many medical plotlines in Ming's and Qing's novels arise from a coincidence and random events, with unexpected plot developments often serving as a representation of certain conceptual frameworks. Life, encompassing birth, aging, illness, and death, constitutes a fundamental aspect of human existence and a prevalent theme in literature. The narrative of medical encounters in novels holds substantial significance as it reflects on the human life cycle.
