《针经》《素问》编撰与流传解谜

Puzzle Solution of the compilation and circulation of Classics on Acupuncture and Plain Questions

通过对传世本《灵枢》《素问》编纂思想的发掘和梳理,发现二者是一部完整书的两个部分,二者的性质、关系是以《灵枢》为内篇,系理论创新之作,叙述方法以"撰"为主;以《素问》为外篇,为临床应用和资料整理性质,叙述方法以"编"为主。内、外篇皆成于西汉晚期至东汉之间,作者为曾长期在国家藏书机构任职的一流学者。在宋以前外篇流传更广,内篇则流传很有限,二者在传承过程中,虽内容有亡佚及添补、篇次有错乱及人为调整,但总体而论,失真的程度不大,特别是内篇《灵枢》。
