Research On Related Concepts Of Chinese Medicine Under The Metaphor Of Rivers

In the ancient society with backward science and technology,people often obtain the cognition of the unknown things through their own existing experience,that is,the cognitive way of "getting close to the body,getting far from the things" and comparing the images.The theory of traditional Chinese medicine is formed in such a historical background.China has a long history of water resources application,and has accumulated rich water control experience in the process of promoting the production of farmland water conservancy and resisting the natural disasters of floods and droughts.Water control experience not only strengthened the ancient people’s understanding of rivers,but also provided a lot of experience basis for the formation of human physiology,pathology,diagnosis and treatment and other medical knowledge.This makes River an important source of metaphor cognition in the formation of TCM theory.This study starts with the cognition of river metaphor,hoping to interpret the theory of human life in traditional Chinese medicine from the perspective of river.This paper discusses what ancient doctors want to express with the help of river metaphor under the cognition of river metaphor;through the analysis of river metaphor,what views we have never noticed before;how to use river metaphor to interpret ancient related literature,and how we can get inspiration from it by interpreting it;these enlightenments have some guidance for the formation of current TCM treatment principles and methods The role of sex.This is the problem to be explored in this research.This paper is divided into three parts.The first part discusses the process of human body’s water metabolism from the mechanism of water circulation in nature;takes the river as the origin domain,makes a new interpretation of the physiological functions of human viscera and meridians;through the running state and popular distribution of rivers in nature,This paper analyzes the mapping process of human meridians,expounds the influence of rivers in nature on the formation of TCM treatment principles and methods,probes into the mechanism of "five flavors" on the treatment of human diseases,which is based on the river metaphor,influences the flow velocity of Qi and blood through different "flavors" to achieve the purpose of disease treatment,and the rivers are similar to the channel structure,and both ends of the channel are open Because of the structural characteristics of "letting go" and "hollowing out",rivers must have circulation,which is of great metaphorical significance for the formation of the concept of "harmony based on communication" of human physiological functions.In the second part,by analyzing the menstruation mechanism of women,the author adds the metaphor of waterfall to the traditional menstrual diseases,which is divided by the tide and the phase of the moon.With the help of the metaphor of waterfall,the author expounds the mechanism and treatment of women’s menorrhagia.The viscera involved in women’s menorrhagia include lung,heart,spleen,liver and kidney.The meridians involved include Yangming,Ren,cell and Taichong The etiology is that the Qi mechanism of Yangming,lung and heart does not fall,the delicate function of heart and spleen transferring Qi and blood is abnormal,and the source of Qi and blood is insufficient.In the third part,based on the data of the water conservancy dictionary,through the study of the ancient Chinese river defense and water conservancy projects,it is found that the ancient Chinese river defense experience,such as blocking and controlling water,dredging and controlling water,bundling water and attacking sand,dividing water and fish mouth,is an important metaphorical cognitive source of the traditional Chinese medicine water treatment methods,such as cultivating soil and making water,using water to drink,using urine and stool,and then discusses that the river metaphor is the formation process of the traditional Chinese medicine treatment One of the most important types of metaphors used in,the cognitive process is greatly inspired by the rich experience of water control in ancient China.By analyzing the process of metaphorical mapping between the source domain and the target domain of river metaphor in traditional Chinese medicine,this paper explores the formation process of the theories of physiology,pathology,principles and methods in traditional Chinese medicine under river metaphor,and further proves that river metaphor is the important source of metaphor cognition in traditional Chinese medicine.Traditional Chinese medicine is a subject full of metaphorical cognition.Most of the thinking patterns applied in traditional Chinese medicine come from metaphorical cognition.
