基于古代斗历天文学对中药四气五味理论的动态解析

Dynamic analysis on the theory of four properties and five flavors in Chinese materia medica based on ancient lunar calendar astronomy

要弄清楚中医理论与思维方法,必须从其理论产生的背景和源头入手,才能探本求源,把握住理论根本。中医的阴阳、五行、六气等基本概念与古代天文学有着密不可分的联系,故从古代天文学角度来审视才能看清中医基本理论思维的原点。因此,文章从古代斗历历法天文学的角度,阐述了中医天人相应理论产生的古天文学背景,阐明中医五行理论思维的基本内涵,并以此为思维框架尝试动态解读中药四气、五味理论,揭示中医药理论的思维核心和中医原创性思维的优势,为科学的理解中医提供新的思路。

To understand the theory and thinking methods of traditional Chinese medicine(TCM),we must understand its background and source to grasp the fundamentals of the theory.The basic concepts of TCM such as yin and yang,five elements,and six climatic factors are inextricably linked to ancient astronomy,so looking at it from the perspective of ancient astronomy can see the origin of its thinking clearly.Therefore,from the perspective of the ancient lunar calendar and astronomy,this article expounds the ancient astronomy background of the TCM correspondence between human and universe theory and the theory of the five elements,and uses this tentative and dynamic interpretation of the theory of four properties and five flavors in Chinese materia medica to reveal the thinking core and original thinking and advantages of TCM theory,and to provide new ideas for scientific understanding of TCM.
