论“三生万物”及其在《黄帝内经》理论中的应用

Discussion on ’three create all’ and its application in Huangdi Neijing

文章认为《道德经》"三生万物"的"三"是"冲气",是天地阴阳之气对冲、交感、互动以及由此呈现的平衡、和谐,是与阴、阳属性不同的第三种状态。《周易》中很多卦象体现了"三"的交感互通,六爻具有三才思想,也蕴含了"三生万物"观。《黄帝内经》对"三生万物"观点的应用体现在:五行之气,以"土"为"三";五脏阴阳,"至阴"为"三";三阴三阳开、阖、枢,以"枢"为"三";运气有太过、不及,以"平气"为"三"。但《黄帝内经》中亦有多处以三分类的术语,皆是"三"数思维的模式化应用,并未体现"三生万物"内涵。

This paper holds that the ‘three’ of ‘three create all’ in Daode Jing is ‘impulse’, which is the opposition, interaction and balance and harmony between yin and yang in heaven and earth, and it is the third state different from yin and yang. In the book of Zhouyi, many hexagrams embody the interaction of three, the six lines have the thought of three talents, and also contain the view of ‘three create all’. The application of Huangdi Neijing to the idea of ‘three create all’ is reflected in the following aspects: Among the five elements, ‘soil’ is ‘three’. Among the five internal organs of yin and yang, ‘to yin’ is ‘three’. Among three yin and yang open close and transmit, ‘transmit’ being the ‘three’. Among the Yunqi theory, ‘ping qi’ for ‘three’. However, there are many classification terms of ‘three’ in Huangdi Neijing, which are all the stereotyped application of ‘three’ number thought and do not embody the connotation of ‘three create all’.
