被忽视的中西医汇通大家祝味菊

A neglected master on integrative medicine: Wei-Ju ZHU

阐述近代名医祝味菊著作《伤寒质难》中的学术思想,指出其关于中西医汇通方面的思想具有一定的先进性,但尚未引起中医界足够的重视。祝氏以《伤寒论》六经辨证论治为例,指出中医治法的本质为顺应或增强人体的自愈、自调节能力。其中,人体的阳气是人体患感染性疾病时主要的自愈能力,因此祝氏在治疗时重视扶阳,擅用附子等温热药物。此外,祝氏将外感内伤病的中医辨证概括为“五段八纲”。总之,在中西医汇通史上,祝氏作出了极为重要的贡献,对于指导临床思维和中医药的现代研究,具有重要的启示作用。

Through analyzing the academic ideas in Shanghan Zhinan written by Wei-Ju ZHU, a modern famous physician, it is pointed out that ZHU＇s achievement on integrative medicine has been overlooked. Taking the theory of syndrome differentiation of six channels from Shanghan Lun as an example, ZHU presumed that the essence of therapeutic theory of traditional Chinese medicine was to conform to or strengthen human body＇s self-healing and self-regulating abilities. Since Yangqi is the major force in the body to help heal disease when it occurred, ZHU often took measures to strengthen Yang first in treating disease and also was good at using hot-natured herbs, such as Radix aconiti lateralis preparata. ZHU＇s thoughts on integra- tive medicine were concerned with etiology, pathology and therapeutics. In addition, ZHU generalized the syndrome differentiation into the theory of five phases and eight principles, and made important contributions to the history of integrative medicine. His thinking will provide valuable revelation for clinical practice and modern research on traditional Chinese medicine.
