中医学原创思维的哲学基础

Philosophical basis of original thinking in Chinese medicine

中医学是最具原创优势的学科之一，其学科理论、思维方式与国学密不可分。中医学迎来了天时、地利、人和的大好局面，中医学的发展首先要认清其原创优势，理清其原创思维的来源。象思维是中国传统思维的本质内涵和基本特征，显示了中华民族文化的特殊品格，中医原创思维当与象思维紧密链接。西方文化的传人压抑了原发创生性的象思维，惟科学主义的概念思维与西医成为了主流。其实应该既不排斥概念思维，又要注重表达自己民族特有的原创思维及原创优势，东学西学兼收并蓄，中医西医融通共进。

Chinese Medicine, being one of the most creative disciplines, with the superiority of its disciplinary theory and thinking pattern closely related to the studies of Sinology. Chinese Medicine has taken on its great aspect with good favorable prospects of timing, geographical and unity and coordination of human relationship, hence, the development of CM needs the recognition of its original advantage, making clear of its sources of original thought. The XIANG thought （ iconic thinking） is the basic connotation and basic fea- tures of traditional Chinese thinking. The imported western culture depresses the XIANG （iconic） thinking of original thought, and, as a result, conceptual thinking of scientism and western medicine became the ma- instream. Actually, conceptual thinking shouldn＇ t be rejected,whereas the original thinking and original su- periority characterized by our own nation should also be manifested. The knowledge, both oriental and occi- dental, are to be accepted simultaneously, while Chinese medicine and western medicine should be all mas- tered thoroughly and integrated as a whole so as to further proceed together.
