《黄帝内经》中“器”“气”之辨

Identification of receptacle and qi in Huangdi Neijing(Huangdi's Internal Classic)

从《黄帝内经》创作时代的文化背景分析以及其文本中对"器"字的运用,提炼出"器"的象征性(大器实有,本质为气)、功能性(脏器之中,内有脏气)、实用性(造物为器,以器调气),并与"气"理论做比较,阐明在后续的历史中主流学术思想流变对中医学发展的影响,厘清《黄帝内经》中的"器""气"之辨及其现实意义。

The theoretical system of traditional Chinese medicine（ TCM）, with Huangdi Neijing（ Huangdi＇s Internal Classic） as the core,is influenced by the traditional academic thought and swings between receptacle and qi. Based on analysis on the culture background of creative era of Huangdi Neijing and application of word-receptacle in its text,the symbolism（ actual receptacle with qi as essence）,functionality（ in organs with organic qi） and practicability（ creating receptacle and regulating qi by receptacle） of receptacle are extracted and compared with qi theory. The influence of mainstream academic thought rheology on TCM development is illustrated in the subsequent history,and differentiation between receptacle and qi in Huangdi Neijing and its practical significance are summed up.
