脉学天人同构的空间意蕴

Spatial implications of the isomorphism of natural and man

天人合一是中国文化的核心论题。脉学天人同构的空间观念是该论题的具体化。中国古典中医学认为,人与自然皆由气所构成,气在升降出入上的一致性使双方具有可类比的空间结构。脉象既是人身脉气之象,为浓缩的脉人,又是自然之气升降的缩影,通过三部九候法、寸口脉法的会意直观,能够展现上中下的天地人纵向结构与四面八方的横向结构。脉学的天人同构,不仅为医疗树立方法论指引,还为具体诠释中国古典空间结构提供了路径。

The unity of man and nature is the core of Chinese culture. The spatial concept of the isomorphism of nature and man is the embodiment of this thesis. Classical Chinese medicine holds that man and nature are composed of qi, and the consistency of qi’s rise and fall gives both sides an analogous spatial structure. Pulse is not only the image of human pulse qi, for the concentrated version of the pulse person, but also the miniature of natural qi rise and fall, through the three body parts and nine pulse taking sites, the cunkou pulse law of understanding intuitive, can show the vertical structure of nature and earth and the horizontal structure of all directions. The isomorphism of man and nature not only provides methodological guidance for medical treatment, but also provides a path for the specific interpretation of the Chinese classical spatial structure.
