论哲学之气与中医之气的分殊

On the Differentiation between Philosophy Qi and Qi of TCM

气的概念在中国文化中有物理、生理、心理、伦理、哲理等多重含义。中医学在吸收融会哲学之气的基础上形成了自身独特的气学理论。中国哲学和中医学皆是从生命的角度认识气,但哲学之气与中医之气在以气论自然、以气论身心、以气论情及以气论德等方面体现出诸多不同。气是彰显中华文化特质的概念,当前传承发展中医药事业亟需正本清源、返本开新,只有立足于气的理论,考辨其历史源流,厘清其核心要义,才能从根本上阐明中医药学的“真正优势”,为中医在当代的发展拨开“偏见”的迷雾、扫清“玄虚”的障碍,从理论上推动中医药学的创造性转化与创新性发展。

The concept of Qi has multiple meanings in Chinese culture, such as physics, physiology, psychology, ethics and philosophy. Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) has formed its own unique theory of Qi on the basis of absorbing and integrating the spirit of philosophy. Chinese philosophy and TCM both appreciate Qi from the perspective of life, but there are many differences between philosophy Qi and Qi of TCM in terms of Qi on nature, Qi on body and mind, Qi on emotion and Qi on morality. Qi is a concept that highlights the characteristics of Chinese culture. At present, the inheritance and development of TCM urgently need to be reformed from the bottom and innovatively. Only by basing on the theory of Qi, examining its historical origin and clarifying its core meaning, can we fundamentally clarify the "real advantages" of TCM, avoid the "bias" and clear up the obstacles of "mystery ", as well as theoretically promoting the creative transformation and innovative development of TCM.
