气化理论是中医学基本理论的基础。这一理论在《黄帝内经》时代就基本成熟,并对后世中医学理论发展与实践模式产生了重大影响。"气化"概念主要是从自然、自然与人的关系以及人体气血生化3个层面加以定义,用于描述"气"的运动及其产生的相应变化。气化具有永恒性、普遍性、表象性、方向性、变动性、有序性6个特点。通过对《黄帝内经》"气化"概念与特点研究,有助于发掘气化理论在中医学基本理论形成过程中的重要学术价值和实践意义,凸显中医原创思维特色。

Qi transformation theory is the foundation of the basic theory of TCM. This theory matured during the period of Huangdi Neijing, and later in the history of TCM was a source of significant impact on the development process and direction of medical theory. The concept of ＇qi transformation＇ mainly orginates from the definition of three levels which are nature, relationship between nature and humans, and the body＇s own metabolism, and is used to describe the usage and the resulting changes of ＇qi＇ . Qi transformaion possesses six characteristics which are permanence, universality, representational, directional, variability, and orderliness. The research of the concept and characteristics of qi transformation in Huangdi Neijing will help identify the important academic value and practical significance of the formation of the basic theory of TCM as the result of the qi transformation theory, and highlight the unique characteristics of TCM.
