《黄帝内经》针灸理论与身体博物学的开启

Acupuncture theory in Huangdi Neijing and launching the natural history of body

中医学有着悠久的博物学传统,但多集中在本草领域,对于针灸学较少有讨论。以博物学的视角审视《黄帝内经》中的身体知识,尤其通过对腧穴知识生成过程的考察,可以看到《黄帝内经》身体博物学进路:观察、记录、命名与分类。《黄帝内经》身体博物学具有注重名物注释、与自然及事物交互应用、以实践应用为目的等特点。开启身体博物学对于理解古典身体知识的生成以及针灸理论的构建具有重要意义。

Chinese traditional medicine is long in the natural history,which focuses on herbal medicine,but has less discussion on acupuncture.On the basis of exploring the body knowledge in Huangdi Neijing(The Yellow Emperor's Inner Canon)from the perspective of the natural history,especially through the investigation of the evolution of acupoint knowledge,the route of the natural history of body in Huangdi Neijing have been detected in the aspects of observation,record,nomination and classification.In Huangdi Neijing,the natural history of body is characterized by the object annotation,the interaction between the nature and things,and the practicability.Launching the natural history of body is of great significance to understanding the generation of classical body knowledge and constructing acupuncture theory.
