论《内经》气化学说∗

摘要

基于“气化”一词的本义，及其在《内经》中的涵义，提出《内经》中“气化”主体是指天地之气化的观点，气化是从气一元论的自然哲学思想认识人体生命时延伸出的重要学术范畴。《内经》气化思想主要包含天地之气化生万物，天地气化涵盖人体气化两方面内容，气化具有时序性、方位性和内部自稳性的特征。气化学说对临床有重要的指导作用。%This article put forward a novel idea that the TCM term of qi transformation, based on its origi-nal meaning and interpretation in Neijing, whose subject referred to qi transformation of heaven and earth, was a vital academic scope extended from the understanding of human body by natural philosophy of qi-monism theory. The connotation of qi transformation in Neijing was reflected in two aspects: qi transformation of heaven and earth generating everything in the world, qi transformation of heaven and earth involving qi transformation of life. Qi transformation is characterized by sequence, direction and in-ternal homeostasis, which plays an important role in guiding TCM clinical practices.
