从中国古代哲学观谈中医养生

Discussion on TCM Health Preserving from Perspective of Ancient Chinese Philosophy

中医养生学在探讨人体生命、研究身心健康的问题时始终将人置于自然及社会环境中加以考察和认识,提倡法于阴阳、和于术数,恬淡虚无、精神内守,饮食有节、起居有常,不妄作劳、养气聚气等科学的养生理念。中国古代哲学本质上是一种生命哲学,其核心是研究人道乃至生命之道。中国古代哲学观念如贵生恶死、天人相应、形神一元、动静合一、持中致和、无为守虚、见微知著等,既构成了中国传统宇宙观、人生观的核心,也引导了养生乃至整个中医的发展方向。

In TCM health preservation,the natural and social environments are always investigated and understood together when the life of human body is discussed and the problems of physical and mental health are studied.It advocates following the law of Yin and Yang,to be harmonized with the Shu shu,to calm the mind,to keep spiritual or inwardness peace,to be on diet,to live daily life normally,to avoid overwork,and to tonify Qi.The concept of ancient Chinese philosophy is essentially a philosophy of life,whose core is to study humanity and even the way of life.Ancient Chinese philosophical concepts,such as valuing life and avoiding death,the correspondence between nature and humanity,the unity of form and spirit,the unity of movement and static,valuing the harmony by being in the middle point,following the principle of Xu Jing,the understanding of the law by observing subtleties,not only constitute the core of the traditional Chinese outlook on the universe and life,but also guide health preserving practices,or even the development direction of the Chinese medicine.
