View of “Mean and Harmony”and medical concepts in Huangdi's Canon of Medicine

"中和"之"中"字源自古代甲骨文,是旗帜的象形,"和"字源自吹奏乐器的象形,延伸均有"节制"之意。"中和"是儒家修身治世的核心思想,在《周易》《论语》《中庸》中皆有充分阐释与应用。这一思想延伸至《内经》,"中和"思想也成为《内经》之生命观、疾病观、治疗观、养生观建立的基础,对《内经》医学理论的形成具有重要影响。

＂Mean ＂（ Chinese： 中） stemmed from the hieroglyphs character of oracle ＂banner ＂,and＂harmony＂（ Chinese： 和） was originated from the hieroglyphs character of musical instruments.＂Mean＂and＂harmony＂had the same extending meaning of＂moderate＂. ＂Mean and Harmony＂view,interpreted and applied fully in Book of changes,the Analects of Confucius and the Doctrine of the Mean,was the core idea of confucianists＇ thought to run the emperor and supervise themselves. When the view was expanded into Huangdi＇s Canon of Medicine,it underlay the concept of life,disease,treatment and health maintenance,which played an indispensable role in the formation of the theories of Huangdi＇s Canon of Medicine.
