从“和”论“疫”——兼论中医药在新型冠状病毒肺炎防治中的作用和意义

Discussion about“epidemic diseases”from the concept of“harmony”——the role and significance of traditional Chinese medicine in the prevention and treatment of COVID-19

新型冠状病毒引发的肺炎疫情造成了严重的社会影响,在政府以及中西医的共同努力下,国内的疫情得到了较快、较好的控制。反观此次新型冠状病毒肺炎疫情防控的过程,可以发现“和”思想在宏观层面(人与自然的关系)、中观层面(个体与社会的关系)以及微观层面(人的身与心的关系)上,均有不同的体现。“和”思想作为中医药学发展的重要哲学基础,在此次中医药对新型冠状病毒肺炎的防治过程中发挥了重要作用。在社会发展的进程中,必须要重视人与自然的和谐共处。在面对重大突发事件的过程中,我们既要重视防控措施的系统性、整体性,也要强调防控方法的“和而不同”、有机协同。每个人、每个国家都应该有大局观、整体观,为共同构建人类卫生健康共同体贡献自己的力量。

The COVID-19 pandemic has caused serious social impact.However,under the guidance of the Chinese government and with the joint efforts of traditional Chinese and Western medicine,we have well controlled the domestic outbreak.In the process of pandemic prevention and control,the concept of“harmony”is embodied at macro level(the relationship between man and nature),meso level(the relationship between individual and society)and micro level(the relationship between body and mind).As an important philosophical foundation for the development of traditional Chinese medicine(TCM),the concept of“harmony”has played an important role in the TCM prevention and treatment of COVID-19.Therefore,we must pay special attention to the harmonious coexistence between man and nature in the process of social development.When major emergencies occur,we should not only pay attention to the systematicness and integrity of prevention and control measures,but also emphasize the“harmony in diversity”and organic coordination of prevention and control methods.Everyone and every country should have a big picture and a holistic view,and contribute to the construction of the community of human healthcare.
