Analysis of the Cognitive Style Reflected in The Book of Changes and Traditional Chinese Medicine

摘要

The theory of traditional Chinese medicine is the application of the theory of Yijing Yin Yang, Five Elements and Qi. The thinking way of traditional Chinese medicine originates from Yijing (the Book of Changes). This paper focuses on the influence of the cognitive thinking way of Yijing on the theory of traditional Chinese medicine and the development of Chinese medicine. Although traditional Chinese medicine has its independent existence space, the cognitive thinking way of "Yi Medicine" reflects in the aspects of symmetry, cognitive bias, overgeneralization, and is unable to explore why it is. At first, the development of the theory of traditional Chinese medicine should seek a breakthrough in the aspect of traditional cognitive thinking way.
