论中国人机工学思想的系统性维度:人、自然与文化社会

On the Systematic Dimension of Chinese Ergonomic Thought:Human,Nature and Cultural Society

中国人机工学思想的存在早年间已被指出,用系统论的一般思想来辨析,会发现其特殊性在于“系统性”。从将人体视作动态平衡的系统出发,认识到结构间存在着非线性的复杂关系,又将人体与自然对照来理解,建构出天人合一的宇宙观,最终通过物来建构出整个文化社会的形象,可以说,这种系统性思维业已存在一般的三重维度:人、自然与文化社会。将中国系统性思维引入人机工学,可以丰富当代人机工学的实验立场和实践思维。

Earlier researchers have identifi ed the existence of Chinese ergonomics.Its uniqueness lies in its systematic nature when viewed from system theory.The Chinese view the human body as a dynamically balanced system connected by meridians to all structures,recognizing the complex nonlinear relationships between structures.They also understand the human body system in correspondence with natural systems,and construct a traditional cosmology of the unity of heaven and man.Ultimately,the image of the entire cultural society is constructed through objects.It can be said that this systematic thinking already has a general triple dimension:human,nature,and cultural society.Introducing Chinese systematic thinking into ergonomics can enrich the experimental stance and practical thinking of contemporary ergonomics.
