浅析“象思维”与井穴的关系

Analysis of the Relationship Between "TCM Image Thinking" and "Jing Acupoint"

取象比类是中医学认识脏腑生命活动规律的思维方式,即"象思维",其与经络标本、根结理论及五腧穴的命名均有密切联系。根结理论进一步发展形成五腧穴理论,而井穴作为五腧穴位于肢体末端的第一个穴位,是十二经脉阴阳交会、气血流注的起点,其概念的形成、定位及主治功效的确定必然受到"象思维"的影响。

The TCM analogy, which is also named as the TCM Image Thinking, is one of the thinking ways of TCM in understanding the laws of the life activities of Zang and Fu, which is closely related with the meridian theory,TCM theory of manifestation and root cause, TCM theory of meridian relationship beween limb and head as well face, and the naming of the development of the last theory called Five Shu acupoints. Being the first acupoint of human limbs, Jing acupoints are the starting points of human Qi and Blood as well as the first intersection of Yin and Yang. Therefore, the formation of the concepts, orientation and the determination of the clinical effectiveness of Jing Acupoins must be influenced by TCM Image Thinking.
