摘要：
传统中医学是创建于约三千年前的理论医学,起源于中国早期文化的繁荣时期,得益于古天文学及天人合一的道哲学的支持与发展.她深刻地预见和揭示了自然界和人相互影响的许多奥秘,但因其概念体系与近代科学在形式上有所不同,还不易为大众所理解.在数千年后的今天,随着对当代量子物理现象和理论认识的加深,人们正在从根本上突破机械论科学的某些基础观念,并开始理解和接受中国文化及中医理论.例如,量子力学理论突破常人三维空间视角的局限,有助于人们观察、感知到虚实互动的高维时空的全新生命事物,帮助解释意识以及人体功能会改变某些科学实验结果的现象,帮助理解人所拥有的,来自直觉、灵感等用于处理宇宙、人体、生命、意识等复杂对象(系统)的高级智慧功能.如果深刻认识其规律,可能会协助人们针对生命等复杂现象抽象出简单的模型,从而有利于抓住生命等复杂事物的本质,逐步揭开中国文化和中医的很多奇妙现象的面纱.本文选取几个例子展开讨论,包括人类意识和潜意识等功能现象、人体的能量系统、无形的气、功能现象、心脏的多种特殊功能、脏腑之一的"三焦"腑.三千年前中医就将"三焦"写入《黄帝内经》,并详细记载了其各种功能及病理学上的具体应用,一直指导临床至今.直至今日这个腑器才被西方科学所认知和定义.中医理论的前瞻性及其蕴藏的深邃智慧,必将在未来医学中发挥重要作用,也是健康科学和生命科学的核心支柱之一.通过这些讨论,作者试图阐明传统中医思维模式的某些优越性,进一步确立其人类文化瑰宝的地位,加强自身的理论自信和文化自信,为今后正确地弘扬中医事业开路.%Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), a theoretical medical system founded about three thousand years ago, originated from the richness of Chinese culture with the support and development of ancient astronomy and the Taoist philosophy of heaven and man. It has revealed many mysteries and illuminated interactions between nature and human beings. Those mysteries have not been easily understood by the public because TCM's conceptual system differs in form and essence from modern sciences. In modern times, some of the mysterious processes have been gradually discovered or confirmed by an advanced science: quantum physics. Quantum science is considered to break through basic concepts of mechanistic science, thus providing an entry to understanding of Chinese culture and TCM theories. Some experimental results of contemporary quantum physics shake the foundations of conventional scientific concepts. For example, quantum mechanics theory helps expand the limits of three-dimensional observations. It helps explain the phenomena that the consciousness with certain human functions interfere some experimental results. Viewing new things in a high-dimensional time-space framework helps people understand the real and virtual characteristics and their interaction; this leads to understanding the function of advanced human wisdom and intelligence in dealing with more complex objects (systems) such as the universe, the human body, life itself and consciousness. It may help people in developing simple models of the complex world and is believed more conducive to grasping the essence of human life and gradually removing the veil over many wonderful phenomena of Chinese culture and TCM. For example, TCM's 'Imagery Analogism' is attained in the quiet state of well-trained meditation practitioners. Their intuition and inspiration have significant advantages in understanding complexity of objects such as the universe, human body, life, and consciousness. The methodology of thinking helps to derive simple models so as to better grasp the essence of complex objects. Many phenomena of Chinese culture and TCM acupuncture remain incompletely understood. This paper selects a few examples to discuss, including human consciousness and sub-consciousness, human body's energy system, invisible qi, functional phenomena as well as special functions of the heart and Triple Energizer (Three Jiao) in six Fu organs. The 'new finding of an unrecognized interstitium in human tissues' as declared by a group of Western scholars is actually referring to Triple Energizer that had already been revealed and written in Huang Di Nei Jing (Yellow Emperor's Classic of Internal Medicine) three thousand years ago. Both the concept and functions of Triple Energizer have been utilized throughout TCM clinical practices. Through the discussion, the authors attempt to explain the superiority of TCM theories, to strengthen the confidence for TCM innovation and Chinese culture because they believe that offering an integration of TCM practice into the public health and life science would advance human wellbeing and pave a right path for TCM mission and development.
