Abstract：This paper explores the “medical schools” and patterns of knowledge transmission from the 12th to 14th century China， a crucial period witnessing the major innovations in medical theory and the transformation of social identity within the community of elite physicians. Li Gao was one of the most important medical masters in this period whose medical thought had greatly influenced the development of medical theory in Late Imperial China. By focusing on the transmission and spread of Li Gao’s medical doctrine within the medical community in Lower Yangtze Region， this research challenges the conventional historical narratives about the “medical schools”， master-disciple lines， and their significance in the transmission of knowledge in this period. By tracing the publishing history of Li Gao’s work and its accessibility， this paper argues that the professional network in Lower Yangtze Region had fostered an interconnected community within which the medical knowledge and limited resource of books were shared and spread. This knowledge-sharing network made the clear-cut mater-disciple lines unfavored and gradually led to the medical eclecticism after 15th century.
