黄元御悬解医书的象数哲学底蕴考论

On the Image-numerological Philosophy Conceived in Huang Yuanyu’s Interpretation of TCM-related Books

作为清代尊经派的中医名家,黄元御一生勤于著述,留下了丰富的成果。黄元御对中医典籍的“悬解”与《周易》“悬象”学说乃是密不可分的理论整体。一方面,“悬解”背后有“悬象”,当“悬解”深入之际,中医本来具有的易学象数内涵就显露出来;另一方面,“悬象”的逻辑呈现又通过中医的脏腑学说、经络学说、诊断学说、药物学说所具有的“象”得到具体佐证。进一步稽考会发现,贯注于黄元御著述中的象数哲学又饱含道家思想理趣。正是道家文化的熏陶,使他对古圣医经的解读别具一格。

As a famous TCM(traditional Chinese medicine) physician of the Valuing-classics School in the Qing dynasty(1636-1912), Huang Yuanyu(1705-1758) devoted all his life to writings related to TCM and left rich achievements. Huang Yuanyu’s xuan jie(thorough-interpretation) of TCM classics and the xuan xiang(images suspended in the sky) theory of Zhou yi form an inseparable theoretical whole. On the one hand, there are suspending images behind the “thorough interpretation”. When the “thorough-interpretation” deepens, the original connotation of the images and numbers of the Changes originally conceived in TCM will be revealed. On the other hand, the logical presentation of the “suspending images” will be concretely corroborated by the images in the theory of viscera, meridians, diagnosis, and pharmacy in TCM. Further textual research can enable us to find that the philosophy of images and numbers, which threads through in Huang Yuanyu’s writings, was full of Daoist flavors. It is the influence of Daoist culture that gave his interpretation of ancient TCM classics a unique style.
