明清时期中医寿夭理论初探

Discussion on the theory of longevity and young death in Ming and Qing dynasty

受明清时期社会经济和思想文化的影响,中医寿夭理论得到进一步发展。明清医家在继承《黄帝内经》以及历代医家寿夭理论的基础上,进一步丰富和发展了小儿寿夭、脉诊寿夭、地域寿夭、脏腑气血寿夭以及德为福寿之本等理论,并在实践上进行了有益地探索,对指导后世有效开展中医养生长寿与延缓衰老的实践有较强的指导意义。

Under the influence of socioeconomic development and cultural progress, the longevity and young death theory of traditional Chinese medicine saw further development during the Ming and Qing dynasty. Carrying forward the essence of Huangdi Neijing and fundamentals of the longevity and young death theory from previous dynasties, medical practitioners in Ming and Qing had further developed the theory by the introduction of pediatric longevity and young death theory, pulsediagnosis-based longevity and young death theory, geology-based longevity and young death theory, visceral blood and qi longevity and young death theory, and the longevity and young death theory holding that luck and longevity is a blessing of good virtue. Medical practitioners had carried out fruitful practices, providing strong guidance for the future generations in terms of traditional Chinese medicine practice of health preservation and anti-aging.
