Reception of Translated Classics of Traditional Chinese Medicine in the Spanish-speaking World:A Survey of Seven Spanish Versions of Huangdi Neijing(The Yellow Emperor’s Inner Classic)

Previous studies on translations of Huangdi Neijing(The Yellow Emperor’s Inner Classic)have focused on English versions;little attention has been given to non-English translations.The present study is the first investigation of the reception of the seven Spanish versions of Huangdi Neijing in terms of three parameters:collection records in libraries worldwide;book reviews and citation counts in international journals;and customer reviews on Amazon.The results revealed four features of Spanish translations and communication of Huangdi Neijing in terms of reception of academia,reception of general readers,the center of translation and communication,and the role of Chinese scholars.These factors demonstrate the marginal status of Spanish translations of traditional Chinese medicine(TCM)classics.The implications are summarized in hopes of promoting the translation and communication of TCM classics in the Spanish-speaking world and to provide insights into the communication of TCM culture in the non-English-speaking world.

The Foundation of Traditional Chinese Medicine

In this paper, the authors examine and interpret the concept of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) whom the Chinese believes and practices for so many centuries. The authors also explain the ancient Chinese con-cepts of Chi and Tao (Yin and Yang) which are the foundation of the TCM.

Research and Analysis on the Origin of the Term“Xinche”in Traditional Chinese Medicine and Its Translation

Translating the terminology of traditional Chinese medicine(Thereafter referred to as TCM)is the core of translating TCM culture.By analyzing the connotation and denotation of the word“Xinche”(心掣)in Huangdi Neijing(Yellow Emperor’s Canon of Medicine),the earliest existing TCM classic,and by comparing different English translations of the term“Xinche,”we hope to provide certain reference for the standardization of TCM terminology and to share some ideas for the translation of TCM classics.

Differential Insertion Depths of Filiform Needle, Concept and Application

In this paper, the background, evolution, basic meaning, clinical application and the detail operating procedures of the differential insertion depth in filiform needle acupuncture were discussed based on the classical expositions of the Yellow Emperor’s Canon of Medicine. It is believed that the differential insertion depth reflects the basic idea of expelling the evil Qi from the body in the application of traditional acupuncture. Since the site of evil invasion has different shades, the position of evil Qi and correct differentiation has become the operation key points of needle insertion. Apart from this, the Yellow Emperor’s Canon of Medicine has further associated the clinical application of filiform needle insertion depth with the seasonal change of Yin and Yang, the body built of the patients, the nature of the diseases, the heat or cold pathogenic factors of the illness, the excess and deficiency of the patient, and the reinforcing and reducing function of acupuncture. These elaborations have greatly enriched the basic content of acupuncture and laid a systematic theoretical foundation of filiform needle operation. The differential insertion depth in acupuncture has its specific meaning, the emphasis of insertion depth of filiform needle with its differentiated clinical implication exemplifies the perceptual thinking features of traditional acupuncture and typical reveals the uniqueness of Chinese civilization.

基于“聚于胃,关于肺”论治小儿咳嗽变异性哮喘

咳嗽变异性哮喘是儿科慢性咳嗽中最常见的疾病之一,“聚于胃,关于肺”是对咳嗽病机的概括,反映了《黄帝内经》在治疗咳嗽病时对肺胃的高度重视。肺胃两脏解剖位置相近,脉络相互贯通,在生理病理方面也相互影响,为临床从肺胃论治咳嗽变异性哮喘提供了充实的理论依据。根据此理论,临床上对于风热犯肺证以桑菊饮为主疏风清热,宣肺止咳;胃阳虚弱,脾虚气滞证者以异功散和或苓桂术甘汤为主温脾和胃,理气止咳;脾虚痰伏,肺热气逆证以加味六安煎为主健中化痰,清肺降气;肺胃阴伤证以麦门冬汤为主养阴生津。以求治咳不离肺,也不拘泥于肺。

三焦学说的传承与演变探析

三焦的形态结构模糊,病变之变证、兼证繁多,故历代医家对于三焦学说都有不同见解。在形态结构方面,历代医家主要继承了《黄帝内经》的三焦“有名有形”论和《难经》的三焦“有名无形”论,在此基础上演变出了脂膜、腔子、腔府、油膜、膜腔、缝隙腠理等学说,并结合现代医学剖析三焦的形态结构。在功能方面,从《黄帝内经》的“决渎之官”“中渎之腑”“传化之府”到《难经》的“三焦为原气之别使”,历代医家大多立足于三焦的气化功能,探讨营卫、少阳、五脏、命门相火、温病等与三焦的相关性。

基于《黄帝内经》“气交”理论探析黄芽汤

黄芽汤乃黄元御所著《四圣心源》开篇首方,有“四维根本”“群方之祖”之称。基于《黄帝内经》“气交”理论分析黄芽汤药物配伍法则,认为黄芽汤以甘味辅气补中,以和合于内,辛味与气俱行,以斡旋于中,健中气以运四维,助机体阴阳气交,脏腑和合。临证以“气交”之理审视脏腑气化,可借药物之气化偏性纠正人体气机升降失交,维系自然、人体、药物之间的气化均衡,则临床用药可得法也。

运气变化与火郁头痛发病的内在机制

通过梳理《黄帝内经》中运气理论与头痛发病的相关论述,探究运气变化与火郁头痛发病的内在机制。明确运气的异常变化与火郁头痛的发病有两方面联系:其一,后天发病运气对罹患火郁头痛的影响。其二,先天运气禀赋对罹患火郁头痛的影响。明晰运气因素影响下罹患火郁头痛在病位可累及心系;临床常伴心痛、心烦、神昏、出血、疮疡等症,可从心、从火论治。

基于“同气相求”理论探讨肺胃关系

肺、胃疾病在临床上可作为相互继发的存在,提示着肺胃之间存在着某种必然性,目前两者相互影响的桥梁和动力尚不明确。文章从“同气相求”的概念出发,认为肺胃之间相互感应的桥梁为肺胃之“同气”,动力为媒介之气,即肺胃之气在人体的运动变化,“相求”为肺胃相互感应后的生理体现。肺胃之“同气”包括来源相同、结构中空且与外界相通、功能上同升以输送营养且同降以排泄糟粕、生理特性上均喜润恶燥4个方面,在“同气”的基础上依赖媒介之气产生感应,肺胃之“相求”体现在3个方面,云雨相求为肺胃共主精微、津液和宗气的生成和输送,精微和津液可濡润周身脏腑,宗气可滋养元气;气机相求为胃将水谷之精上输至肺,助肺藏精化气以输送营养物质;肺若雾露之溉,将水谷之精和津液降于胃,助胃传导以排泄糟粕;营卫相求为胃主营卫化生的来源,肺主营卫的化生及运行,两者相辅相成。从“同气相求”探究肺胃关系,为临床治疗肺系、胃系及肺胃相关疾病提供新思路。

基于《内经》运气七篇大论对“亢害承制”本义及应用初探

“亢害承制”理论为中医运气理论体系中的重要内容。从《素问》中原文出发,本文整理、分析其中七篇大论中“亢害承制”相关原文,本文初步阐释亢害承制理论含义,通过对上下文“天道”“地理”含义的辨析明确运气学中亢害承制理论的本义及范畴,从而对季节性疾病(包括慢性病及疫病)的发生、发展、转归及治则治法提供一定的指导作用。

基于“平治于权衡,去宛陈莝”论治室性早搏

室性早搏病机多分为虚实两端,虚者为气血阴阳亏虚,血脉失充,心神失养而悸,实者多为气滞、血瘀、痰饮、郁火阻滞气血运行,扰乱心神所致,临证多见虚实夹杂之证。治疗应标本兼顾,平调气血阴阳,祛除久瘀之积。基于《黄帝内经》“平治于权衡,去宛陈莝”理论治疗室性早搏,当平治于权衡以治本,去宛陈莝以治标。治本应益气养血补心脉、平调阴阳除悸源;治标应活血化瘀通心络、理气化痰畅心胸、清心降火安心神。常用方药有归脾汤、桂枝甘草龙骨牡蛎汤、血府逐瘀汤、瓜蒌薤白半夏汤、黄连温胆汤等。

“脏气法时”生理背景下探讨“辛润肾燥”的内涵及临床意义

《素问·脏气法时论》中“辛润肾燥”之说自古争议重重,至今未有较明确的论述。总结分析各家观点,认为“辛润”即辛行津液以润燥;通过解析“脏气法时”的原旨,提出“脏气”的时气指代意义,并由此证明“肾燥”的含义为冬季时病,实质为一身之气的失调。同时根据五运六气理论将其含义合理扩展至岁气作用下的运气病,临床泛指一切水液输布障碍导致的口干口渴、皮肤干燥瘙痒等燥。最终明确“肾燥”的本质及争议产生的原因,从而揭示古人言“辛润肾燥”的机制及现代意义。

《黄帝内经》中的体质学说及临床价值

《黄帝内经》体质学说认为体质形成与先天及后天因素有关,并提出多种复杂的体质分类方法及理论体系,以体质论病、论治、论养生的临床辨证思维。现代中医以《中医体质分类与判定标准》的出台为标杆佐证了《黄帝内经》体质学的价值。

《内经》所蕴含的中医肾病证治思路探讨

邹氏肾科医术非物质文化遗产团队根据《内经》相关理论结合团队临床实践对常见肾病的中医证治思路进行探讨,认为肾气不足为肾病发病之因,肾元衰竭是发病之本。临床中需注意未病先防、既病防变,强调治病必求于本。根据临床实际情况,分别提出从脾肾、从肝肾、从肺论治肾病,常用治法有健脾温肾、扶正渗利、清肝解毒、养肝滋阴、平肝潜阳、疏肝活络、疏风宣肺、清热宣肺、清热利咽、和法缓治、活血化瘀、疏滞泄浊等法。

骨痿探源

骨痿类似于现代临床医学中的骨质疏松症。中医认为,骨痿病位在骨,但病之脏腑在肺、脾胃与肾三脏,病因病机为肾虚髓减、骨枯致痿,肺热津亏、气津失布,脾胃亏虚、气血乏源。对于骨痿的治疗应以肺脾肾三脏为要,辨其虚实,调其经脉,针药并用,法于四时,因时施治,养护结合,以提高临床治疗效果。

从《伤寒论》形成渊源探究伤寒其貌

张仲景继先人之绝学而创《伤寒论》,集汉以前医学之大成,为中医学的发展做出了重要贡献。由于后世医家对书中原文的发挥及经方的应用范围扩大,伤寒病之原貌已不得而知。《黄帝内经》、《难经》以及《阴阳大论》作为张仲景撰书的理论基石,其中多处渗透了《伤寒论》学术思想,并奠定了伤寒传变理论及六经分类方法的创立。研究三本经典古籍中有关伤寒的内容,探寻《伤寒论》形成之渊源,对于探究伤寒其貌具有重大价值。

对《黄帝内经》月节律理论的科学性探索——通过对中药马钱子、黄连毒性的观察,验证《黄帝内经》月节律理论的科学性
