中医基础理论的科学内涵

Scientific Connotation in the Foundations of Traditional Chinese Medicine

近现代中医之争的核心是道、气、阴阳、五行理论的科学性问题。通过系统地梳理中医基础理论的发展渊源,对中医基础理论的原始研究对象进行分析,揭示出道、气、阴阳、五行的原始内涵。道为古代宇宙生成论,气为古代对宇宙中基本物质的认识,二者代表古人对自然的根本性观点。阴阳是对日月运动、气候物候变化规律的概括。五行最初为五季,为天文历法概念。道、气、阴阳、五行综合反映了古代天文和气候变化规律,具有扎实的古代自然科学基础。中医基础理论的科学内涵对中医现代化有重要意义。

The core issue of contemporary disputes over Traditional Chinese Medicine （TCM） is the scientificity of Dao, Qi, Yinyang and Five Elements. By systematically studying the origin and development of Dao, Qi, Yinyang and Five Elements and analyzing what they originally refer to, this paper revealed the original connotations of these theories. Dao referred to the laws of the birth of the universe and Qi was the basic concept of substance of the universe. Yinyang was related to the movement of the sun and the moon and the shifting of climate. Five Elements was a concept of seasons. These theories interpreting the ancient astronomical laws and climatology have a sound basis of ancient science and their original connotations are very significant for the modern development of TCM.
