传统时间针法中的易学思维

Thinking Mode of Zhou Yi Study in Traditional Time-varied Acupuncture

本文探讨了传统时间针法与易学之间的内在联系,认为子午流注纳甲法、纳子(支)法、养子时刻注穴法、灵龟八法和飞腾八法等传统时间针法的形成是在易学象数学说的指导下,把《黄帝内经》中有关人与天地相参、经脉气血流注、针刺须候气逢时等学说与阴阳五行、天干地支、九宫八卦等结合在一起,以阴阳五行的生克变化来推算人体气血的开阖和所相应的经脉穴位,从而将按时刺灸的理论原则加以系统化和具体化,充分体现了易学的哲学思维方式对传统时间针法形成和构建的影响。

This paper explores the intrinsic linkage between traditional time-varied acupuncture and Zhou Yi（The Book of Changes）philosophy. It is suggested that the develpoment of traditional time-varied acupuncture methods such as Heavenly stem-prescription of point selection, Earthly branch-prescription of point selection, Point selection method of engendering among the five phases, Eight methods of intelligent turtle and Method of eight flight were all affected by the image-numberology mathematical theories of Zhou Yi study. Under the guidance of Zhou Yi philosophy, the theories of Yin-Yang, Five phases, Heavenly stems and Earthly Branches, and Nine-palaces and Eight-winds in Zhou Yi study were associated with the concepts of the unity between nature and human beings and the circulating period of Qixue inside the meridians in ＂Yellow Emperor＇s Canon of Medicine＂ closely, thus the thinking mode in Zhou Yi study became the main basic principles for building up the fundamental theories and specific methods of traditional time-varied acupuncture. The changes of Yin-Yang and Five phases were used to calculate the circulating period of Qi and blood inside the meridians and select the corresponding points for each specific time, so that the theoretical principles of traditional time-varied acupuncture were systematized and embodied. All these obviously reflect the influence of Zhou Yi philosophy on the formation of traditional time-varied acupuncture methods.
