必要的张力--近百年来中西医之辨

The Essential Tension:the Debate between Western Medicine and Traditional Chinese Medicine for a Hundred Year

中医百年的命运多舛,由表到里都发生了重大变迁。中医学中的古今、中西、体用、新旧之辨是文化大讨论的一部分,其辩论的议题在文化大讨论中都可以找到引子。以上不同方面的辩论是联通的,一定条件下彼此之间可以互换,在进化论的中介和引导下贯穿于中医近代史中。古今、中西、体用、新旧之间的张力让中医学持续受到关注,在批评中螺旋式进步。中医学最终经受住了冲击,找到了平衡,逐步完成了近代向现代的转型。

Traditional Chinese Medicine(TCM)had an a terrible fate for a hundred years.Significant changes had taken place from its external forms to its inherent characteristics.In TCM,the debate between ancient and present,Chinese and Western,soul and style,old and new,was apart of the cultural discussion,and the introduction of the debate’s topic can be found in the cultural discussion.These debates were interrelated and interconvertible,mediated and guided by the theory of evolution,and run through the modern history of TCM.The tension between ancient and present,Chinese and Western,soul and style,old and new had made TCM continue to attract attention,and it continued to sway and progress amidst criticism.TCM finally withstood the impact,found the balance in these debates,gradually completed the transformation in modern history,and drove itself to modernization.
