曼唐在藏医药理论体系中的学术价值探析

Analysis of the Academic Value of Mantang in the Theoretical System of Tibetan Medicine

曼唐作为藏族传统绘画艺术和藏医药学完美融合和升华的典型代表,使得唐卡艺术在呈现藏医药学丰富内涵的同时,不断得以完善和传承。然而,仅把曼唐视作简单的、特殊的唐卡形式,远远不抵其在藏医药理论体系中的价值,尤其是其学术价值。在现有的曼唐应用文献中,叙论曼唐的艺术价值的较学术价值多,尚未对其蕴含的学术价值进行阐述,从而在一定程度上淡化了曼唐在藏医药理论体系中的学术指导地位。从一个全新视角重新审视曼唐在藏医药学、民族文化等方面的重要地位,发现其集唐卡艺术、藏医经典于一体,实现了从视觉感官到抽象理论的升华;集树喻图示、藏医药宝库于大成,勾勒出从形象思维到理论体系的架构;集自然之医学科学、民族文化于一体,实现了藏医药发展和藏族民族文化的传承。在新的历史条件下,传承、弘扬、发掘藏医药民族文化,汲取藏医药理论体系的学术精华,丰富民族医药文化,是当代藏医药人的历史使命。

As a typical representative of the perfect integration and sublimation of Tibetan traditional painting art and Tibetan medicine,Mantang art continuously improves and inherits while presenting the rich connotations of Tibetan medicine and pharmacy.However,treating Mantang as a simple and special Thangka form alone is far from its value in the theoretical system of Tibetan medicine,especially its academic value.In the existing literature on the application of Mantang,the artistic value of Mantang is relatively more significant than its academic value,and the academic value it contains has not been elaborated on,thus to some extent weakening Mantang's academic guidance position in the theoretical system of Tibetan medicine.Reexamining Mantang's important position in Tibetan medicine,medicine,and ethnic culture from a new perspective,it is found that she integrates Thangka art and Tibetan medical classics,achieving a sublimation from visual senses to abstract theories;Gather tree metaphors,illustrations,and treasure troves of medicine in Dacheng,outlining the framework from visual thinking to theoretical system;Integrating natural medical science and ethnic culture,it has traversed the development of Tibetan medicine and the inheritance of Tibetan ethnic culture.Under the new historical conditions,it is the historical mission of contemporary Tibetan medicine people to inherit,carry forward and explore the Tibetan medicine national culture,absorb the academic essence of the Tibetan medicine theoretical system,and enrich the national medicine culture.
