科学取向与国情考量:20世纪50年代初“整理中药”的路径选择

Science or National Condition:Path Selection of the Systematic Research on Chinese Materia Medica in the Early Years of 1950s

在20世纪上半叶中外学者中药研究工作的基础上,系统整理、研究中药受到新生的人民政权的关注,科学界和中医药界就整理、研究中药研究的路径展开了热烈的讨论,并出现了源自西方的科学取向和基于国情考量的"中药西制"传统之间的争论,曾引起广泛关注。在中华人民共和国成立的背景下,持续数年的争论渐趋一致,两种路径并行渐成共识。

On the basis of the research work of Chinese and foreign scholars on Chinese materia medica in the first half of the 20 th century, the systematic research of Chinese materia medica attracted the attention of the new people’s regime. The path for the systematic research of Chinese materia medica became a hot topic in the field of science and traditional Chinese medicine. There was a debate between two paths, which attracted widespread attention. One is science-oriented path, which originated form the west. The other is researching Chinese materia medica with the same way as Western medicine, which is based on the condition of China. Under the background of the founding of the people’s Republic of China, after years of debate, it has become a consensus to implement the two paths in parallel.
