传染病的防控关乎人的生存，在医疗技术水平落后的中国古代，疫病流行非常普遍，造成了严重的后果。中国古代的统治者通过保护公共环境、确立疫病应对机制以及形成疫病预警机制对疫病的预防进行立法，在疫病救治立法方面采取确立隔离防疫法、派遣医官巡诊施药、严格善后掩埋遗体的具体形式。以古为鉴，古代疫病立法的得失可以为我们现代社会提供启发与借鉴，强调环境卫生与个人防护，重视政府治理手段，这些都可以给我们防治突发性传染病带来启示。

The prevention and control of infectious diseases is vital to human survival. In ancient China, where medical technology was backward, the epidemic was so widespread that it had serious consequences. The rulers of ancient China enacted laws to prevent epidemics by protecting public environment, establishing epidemic response mechanism and forming epidemic early warning mechanism. In ancient times, China legislated on the prevention and treatment of infectious diseases by establishing the quarantine and epidemic prevention law, dispatching medical officers to make rounds of diagnosis and treatment, and burying dead bodies strictly. Seeking the Wisdom of Ancients, the gain and loss of ancient infectious disease legislation can provide inspiration and reference for our modern society. The emphasis on environmental health and personal protection and the importance of government governance measures can give us enlightenment on the prevention and treatment of sudden infectious diseases.
