Abstract Aleni's Xingxue Cushu is a Chinese translation of Aristotle's De Anima, but their content is quite different from each other. In Xingxue Cushu, there are lots of medical knowledge of European Middle Ages, which do not exist in De Anima. Western medicine was introduced into China through Xingxue, which is an important model of Western science and technology spread into China, and in fact Western medicine introduced into China through Xingxue has more influences than that through those translations of Western anatomy. This article, through the case of Xingxue Cushu, discusses the models of the introduction of Western medicine into China and its influences, opening out the processes of Western medicine spreading into China through the Xingxue of Catholic Theology and its influences in China through the Xingxue of Lixue. Key words Xingxue Cushu, late Ming & early Qing, Western medicine, model of introduction, model of influence
