“一源三歧”之男子“一源”辨析

Discrimination of Male "One Source" of "One Source and Three Branches Channels" Theory

"一源三歧"学说中"一源"在女子为女子胞,在男子为男子胞。女子胞即子宫,已为学术界广泛共识,而男子胞所指为何,则始终众说纷纭。有学者从生理功能、《黄帝内经》相关条文角度,认为男子胞为睾丸;有学者从解剖位置、发病特点分析,认为男子胞为前列腺;也有学者从生殖之精并非为先天所得入手,明确分析男子胞不为肾。为此,笔者梳理文献,认为"男子胞"根据中医藏象学说特点,从结构上对应精囊及前列腺,从功能上对应中医概念中的"精室"。

In "one source and three branches channels" theory,"one source" is the uterus in women and male-uterus in men.The female uterus has been widely agreed upon in academic circles,however,the opinions of the male-uterus are still divided.Some scholars,from the perspective of physiological function,or of the relevant clauses of the Huang Di Nei Jing,believe that the male-uterus refers to the testis.Some scholars analyzed the anatomical location and the characteristics of the disease and hold that the male-uterus is the prostate.Some scholars start from the fact that the essence of reproduction is not congenital and clearly analyze that male-uterus are not kidneys.For this reason,based on the doctrine of viscera state,the author combs through the literature and believes that male-uterus structurally corresponds to the seminal vesicles and prostate,and functionally corresponds to the "essential chamber" in the concept of Chinese medicine.
