浅谈“象思维”及其在中医基础理论教学中的应用

“Analogical thinking”and its application in the teaching of Basic Theories of TCM

"象思维"是一种源于中国古代哲学和传统文化的思维方式,是中医的核心思维方式,培养此思维方式对刚接触中医学的学生十分重要。在中医基础理论教学中,教学者需带领学生理解和准确把握"象思维"的特点、思维方式,从多角度将其与中医基础理论知识紧密结合,潜移默化地影响学生形成"象思维"。从汉字中的"象思维"在中医基本概念教学中的运用和天人合一中的"象思维"在中医基本理论教学中的运用两方面探讨如何在课堂引导学生发掘"象思维"。

"Analogical thinking",the core thinking pattern of TCM,originated from ancient Chinese philosophies and traditional cultures is very important for beginners of TCM.TCM teachers should facilitate learners to understand the essence of analogism accurately and grasp its characteristics.Teachers also need to integrate analogical thinking into the teaching of Basic Theories of TCM from different perspectives to help students form the habit of thinking in analogism.This paper illustrated how to develop analogical thinking in teaching by two aspects:one is analogical thinking in Chinese characters,and the other is analogical thinking in the concept of harmony between man and nature.The exploration and practice of applying analogical thinking in Basic Theories of TCM will provide a teaching example for more TCM teachers.
