论命门为先天之本

On the Gate of Life Be the Inborn Origin

针对明代医家李中梓提出并影响至今的“肾为先天之本”说提出质疑 ,认为“肾为先天之本”论实乃李氏对其他医家研究成果的否定和抹杀 ,带来了中医理论的诸多矛盾和问题。肾脏作为后天脏器 ,不应视作先天之本。《难经》所倡导而明代医家又着力阐发的命门概念有丰富的内涵 ,应当确定其先天之本的重要地位 ,这不仅解决了中医理论上的一些矛盾 ,且确为完善理论所必需 ,并可拓展今后中医基础研究的思路和空间。

The theory of “Kidney is the inborn origin of the body”whose influence has existed even to this day advocated by Li Zhongzi,the medical scientist in Ming Dynasty is questioned in this article.The author holds that Li's theory is actually the negation of the achievements in medical research gained by the other medical scientists in chinese history and it also brings about various contradictions and problems in the theory of Traditional Chinese Medicine.As the postnatal organs of the body,kidney itself cannot be regarded as the inborn origin.The concept of gate of life advocated in The book of The Classcic on Difficulty and elucidated by the medical scientists in Ming Dynasty with great efforts contains rich connotation and its important position as the real inborn origin of the body should be detined.By do so,some contradictions in the theory of Traditional Chinese Medicine can be solved and hence,the theory is necessarily improved,and meanwhile,the method and scope of thinking in the research of the fundamental theory of Traditional Chinese Medicine can also be developed and widened.
