兰芳共和国



兰芳共和国1777年—1884年),或兰芳大统制共和国,是现代学者对海外华人在婆罗洲创立的一个社群或政权的称呼,此社群或政权自称为兰芳公司。

1770年,广东嘉应(今梅州市梅县区)客家人罗芳伯在东南亚西婆罗洲(今西加里曼丹)坤甸 (Pontianak) 成立了“兰芳公司”,1777年罗芳伯将“公司”片面改为“共和国”,即公司共和国,但向清朝称臣时仍使用“兰芳公司”。

兰芳共和国建立时,第一任总制是陈兰伯,第二任总制是罗芳伯,因此又称为“兰芳大统制共和国”;亦有人因第二任总制罗芳伯而称其为“芳伯共和国”。

兰芳大统制共和国以坤甸或东万律为首都,并将立国之年(1777年)定为“兰芳元年”。国家元首称“大唐总长”或是“大唐客长”,意思是华人作客海外的首长,且“国之大事皆众议而行”,以类似于民主选举和禅让的形式传承。前后历任十二位总长。

1884年,兰芳公司被荷兰东印度公司击败而灭亡,残余势力逃至苏门答腊。逃往苏门答腊的部分华人随后往东北边迁徙,并于马来半岛定居。

兰芳共和国从立国至灭亡,共经历一百零七年。

Classical’s Hippocratic Oath


I swear by Apollo Physician and Asclepius and Hygieia and Panaceia and all the gods and goddesses, making them my witnesses, that I will fulfill according to my ability and judgment this oath and this covenant:

To hold him who has taught me this art as equal to my parents and to live my life in partnership with him, and if he is in need of money to give him a share of mine, and to regard his offspring as equal to my brothers in male lineage and to teach them this art—if they desire to learn it—without fee and covenant; to give a share of precepts and oral instruction and all the other learning to my sons and to the sons of him who has instructed me and to pupils who have signed the covenant and have taken an oath according to the medical law, but no one else.

I will apply dietetic measures for the benefit of the sick according to my ability and judgment; I will keep them from harm and injustice.

I will neither give a deadly drug to anybody who asked for it, nor will I make a suggestion to this effect. Similarly I will not give to a woman an abortive remedy. In purity and holiness I will guard my life and my art.

I will not use the knife, not even on sufferers from stone, but will withdraw in favor of such men as are engaged in this work.

Whatever houses I may visit, I will come for the benefit of the sick, remaining free of all intentional injustice, of all mischief and in particular of sexual relations with both female and male persons, be they free or slaves.

What I may see or hear in the course of the treatment or even outside of the treatment in regard to the life of men, which on no account one must spread abroad, I will keep to myself, holding such things shameful to be spoken about.


If I fulfill this oath and do not violate it, may it be granted to me to enjoy life and art, being honored with fame among all men for all time to come; if I transgress it and swear falsely, may the opposite of all this be my lot.


1964’s Hippocratic Oath



I swear to fulfill, to the best of my ability and judgment, this covenant:

I will respect the hard-won scientific gains of those physicians in whose steps I walk, and gladly share such knowledge as is mine with those who are to follow.

I will apply, for the benefit of the sick, all measures [that] are required, avoiding those twin traps of overtreatment and therapeutic nihilism.

I will remember that there is art to medicine as well as science, and that warmth, sympathy, and understanding may outweigh the surgeon's knife or the chemist's drug.

I will not be ashamed to say "I know not," nor will I fail to call in my colleagues when the skills of another are needed for a patient's recovery.

I will respect the privacy of my patients, for their problems are not disclosed to me that the world may know. Most especially must I tread with care in matters of life and death. If it is given me to save a life, all thanks. But it may also be within my power to take a life; this awesome responsibility must be faced with great humbleness and awareness of my own frailty. Above all, I must not play at God.

I will remember that I do not treat a fever chart, a cancerous growth, but a sick human being, whose illness may affect the person's family and economic stability. My responsibility includes these related problems, if I am to care adequately for the sick.

I will prevent disease whenever I can, for prevention is preferable to cure.

I will remember that I remain a member of society, with special obligations to all my fellow human beings, those sound of mind and body as well as the infirm.


If I do not violate this oath, may I enjoy life and art, respected while I live and remembered with affection thereafter. May I always act so as to preserve the finest traditions of my calling and may I long experience the joy of healing those who seek my help.
