马有度教授中医体质新论研究

Study of Professor Ma Youdu's New Theory on Body Constitution of Traditional Chinese Medicine

马有度教授指出体质是人们在先后天基础上逐渐形成的,在形态结构、生理功能和心理状态等方面相对稳定的、符合天人相应观的一种正常身心状态。马教授认为体质之基缘于先天,体质之成赖于后天,体质之态别于病态,体质之用利于防治,并提出常体、寒体、热体(火体)、特敏体是正常人群常见的四类基础体质,这对于研究体质的真实内涵和指导中医药防治养均具有十分重要的学术价值。

Professor Ma Youdu points out that the body constitution is gradually formed on the basis of innate endowment and acquired conditioning.It is a kind of normal state of mind and body which is relatively stable in the aspects of morphological structure,physiological function and psychological state.This state is consistent with the holism of human beings and universe.It is pointed out that innate endowment is the foundation of body constitution,and the formation of body constitution depends on the nurture,the pathological mechanism of body constitution is quite different from that of disease,the use of the body constitution is conducive to prevention and treatment.It is proposed that normal body,cold body,hot body(fire body)and sensitive body are four basic body constitutions in the normal population.It has very important academic value for studying the true connotation of body constitution and guiding the prevention and treatment of traditional Chinese medicine.
