对中医科学属性及发展的思考

Thinking of Scientific Attribute and Development of Traditional Chinese Medicine

对于中医的科学属性学术界至今尚未达成相近的看法。本文从科学本质、医学的科学性以及中医与医学的关系论证了中医的科学性。然而中医需要发展，加快中医的发展，应该在继承传统的基础上，充分利用现代科学技术成果，但不能简单套用西医的理论和方法，应当运用科学的度量方法建立中医症候的度量、病症与机体变化的关系，探究生理和病理过程。使中西医结合发展为一门成熟的科学——医学。

Academe hasn＇t got the same view about science attribute of traditional Chinese medicine（TCM） up to now. This article demonstrates the scientific attribute of the traditional Chinese medicine from the nature of science, the scientific attribute of medical science and the relationship between the traditional Chinese medicine and medical science. TCM needs development. In order to develop the traditional Chinese medicine quickly, on the basis of inheriting tradition, we should make the best use of modern scientific technology. Not simply copy the theories and methods of western medicine but using the scientific measurement to build up the measurement of TCM symptoms, the relationship between symptoms and the change of the body, explore the process of physiology and pathology, and combine with western medicine to develop a mature science-medical science.
