北宋时期援易入医现象探析

An Analysis on the Phenomenon of Introducing Yi-philosophy into Medicine in the Northern Song Dynasty

当前学界对北宋时期援易入医现象的研究较为忽视,是医易会通研究的不足所在。通过整理北宋时期医学文献中与援易入医有关的条文,围绕易象、易数、易理、易占4个方面进行归纳总结。总体来说,北宋时期援易入医承继隋唐时期的“以易释医”特征,其发展趋势主要体现在主动意识的增强、解释深度的加深、释医方法的成熟、固定命题的形成4个方面。北宋时期的援易入医,不仅丰富了医学的内涵,也提升了易学的应用价值。同时也应理性看待援易入医现象,既要肯定其在医学发展中的积极作用,也要避免过度强调或滥用易学知识而引发的负面效应。

Current research on the phenomenon of“introducing Yi-philosophy into medicine”has neglected the period of the Northern Song Dynasty,which is a gap in the study of the fusion of Yi-philosophy and medicine.By retrieving medical literature of the Northern Song Dynasty,this paper summarizes the relevant texts related to introducing Yiphilosophy into medicine,focusing on the four aspects of Yi image,Yi number,Yi principle,and Yi divination.Overall,the introduction of Yi-philosophy into medicine in the Northern Song Dynasty inherited the characteristics of“interpreting medicine through the lens of Yi-philosophy”from the Sui and Tang dynasties.Its development trend is mainly refl ected in the enhancement of active awareness,the deepening of interpretation depth,the maturity of methods of interpreting medicine through the lens of Yi-philosophy,and the formation of fi xed propositions of Yi-philosophy and medicine.The introduction of Yi-philosophy into medicine in the Northern Song Dynasty not only enriched the connotation of medicine,but also enhanced the application value of Zhou Yi(《周易》Book of Changes)Studies.At the same time,we should also treat the phenomenon of introducing Yi-philosophy into medicine with a rational attitude,affi rming its positive role in the development of medicine,while avoiding the negative eff ects caused by over-emphasis or abuse of Yi Jing knowledge.
