从人的认知过程初探中医证候系统之形成

Exploring the formation of Chinese Medicine syndrome system through human cognitive process

证候,从客观现象的角度来看,就是人体宏观信息(症状和体征)的集合。从人类认知过程入手,初步分析了证候系统的形成过程,得出结论:证候系统形成的过程就是将不同症状、体征按照一定特征联系在一起的过程。这个联系的过程从时间同一性开始,经产生因素、部位、性质等的同一性的补充,最终由影响因素(尤其是治疗因素)的一致性而终结。可以说,治疗因素是证候系统建立的一个重要依据。

Syndromes, seen from the objective phenomenon, are the assemblage of the macro information of human being （symptoras and signs）. The author analyzed the formation procedure of syndrome system from the human cognitive process, and drew the conclusion that the process of syndrome system formation is that of linking the different symptoms and signs together according to some specific features. This link process starts from the concordance of time and is complemented by the concordance of the identity of forming factors, parts and nature, and is finished by the concordance of impressive factors （ especially the therapeutic factors）. Therefore, the therapeutic factor is a vital evidence for the foundation of syndrome system.
