水象隐喻对《内经》经络理论体系建构的影响

The Influence of Watermark Metaphor on the Construction of Meridian Theory System in Neijing

《内经》经络理论体系全面而广泛地渗透着水象隐喻,作为生产力水平低下时期的一种类似于排洪机制的水系模型,与此有关的水象隐喻被融入到了《内经》经络的概念、经脉观念的形成、经络的划分、腧穴的命名以及有关经络的治疗方式等方方面面,对《内经》经络体系的建构产生了重大影响,可以说,《内经》经络体系的模型即一部较为完善的水系模型.

The water metaphor permeates the meridian theory system of Neijing comprehensively and extensively.As a water system model similar to the flood discharge mechanism in the low level of productivity,the water metaphor related to this is integrated into the meridian of the Neijing.The concept,the formation of meridian concept,the division of meridians,the naming of acupoints and the treatment methods of meridians have had a major impact on the construction of the meridian system of Neijing.It can be said that the model of the meridian system of Neijing is a relatively perfect water system model.
