罗元恺教授对“阴阳学说”在中医理论体系中的定位思想探讨

Role of Yin-yang theory in TCM theoretical framework defined by Prof. LUO Yuan-kai

关于中医理论体系的核心问题,一直存在争议,争议的实质不外是"道"与"器",或"道"与"术"的观念之争,而对中医学理论体系核心的不同理解,将显化为中医理论研究中的决策与研究方式导向,从而决定着中医理论的发展路向。罗元恺教授率先提出的"阴阳学说,可说是中医理论体系的核心"观点,直指阴阳学说的"道"本质而发人深省。本文在对罗元恺教授观点评述的基础上,对"阴阳学说"在中医理论体系中应有的定位作了再研讨。

Core issues concerning the theoretical framework of traditional Chinese medicine （TCM） has remained controversial for long. The central argument focuses on the conceptual definition of Dao （ rules, laws ）/ Qi （tools） or Dao/ Shu. Different interpretations of TCM＇s core concepts can substantially influence practitioners＇ decision-making and eventually determine the future developing trend of TCM theories. Prof. LUO Yuan-kai was the first person to put forward that ＂Yin-Yang theory can be considered as the core of the TCM theoretical framework＂. This thought-provoking statement points out that Yin-yang theory serves as Dao （a governing law） in essence. This article discusses the role of Yin-yang theory in TCM theoretical framework based on Prof. LUO＇s ideas.
