隐喻视域下的《圣济总录》符禁疗法

Fujin therapy in Shengji Zonglu from the perspective of metaphor

符禁疗法通过仪式、声音、图象,甚至是想法影响患者,以达成治疗的目的。符禁疗法向我们展现了古人认识并试图改变世界的思维过程。本文以隐喻认知为工具,以《圣济总录》所载符禁疗法为研究对象,分别从多模态隐喻、概念隐喻、象征和医药结合的角度,对符禁疗法的仪式、操作过程、符咒及配合方药等进行阐释,以期更加客观地认识符禁疗法。指出符禁疗法可看作是"相似律"的产物,它把隐喻的思想本身当作治疗手段,虽然有时会运用对症药物,但其起效的主要依据是"信念"。
