气功之“气”的内涵解析

Analysis of the connotation of‘qi’of Qigong

“气”为气功理论的核心。笔者通过查阅相关文献进行归纳总结,认为气功之“气”的内涵主要包括哲学内涵、中医内涵和现代科学内涵3个方面。在“气功热”的背景下,气功之“气”的现代科学内涵的研究成为了热点。在对气功之“气”的内涵进行现代科学研究时,不能忽视气功之“气”的哲学内涵和中医内涵。完全采用科学实验方法来认识气功之“气”的概念范畴,得出的结论只会片面不实。符合中医思维和哲学认知是开展气功之气科学研究的大前提,应在此基础上,将气理论转换为从实验研究角度可获取的、直观的研究方法和科学指标;同时,在理解气的概念发生发展及其哲学背景和中医内涵的基础上,准确把握在不同背景下气的概念和具体含义,运用现代语言更加准确、直观地表述。文章通过系统解析气功之“气”的哲学内涵、中医内涵和现代科学内涵,为全面认识气功之“气”提供了参考。
