探寻传统文化与中医药学的契合点--访南京中医药大学中医文化研究中心薛公忱教授

中医文化热是中国传统文化热的一个组成部分 ;将中医药学置入传统文化大背景下进行研究 ,探寻传统文化与中医药学的契合点 ,不仅可以丰富和深化传统文化研究的内涵 ,而且对于认识中医药学的文化本质 ,促进中医药现代化具有重要的理论意义。中医文化研究不仅具有历史价值 ,而且也具有现实意义。近年来 ,中医文化研究虽然取得了一定的成绩 ,但同时也暴露出研究力量分散、精品成果匮乏等不足。从儒释道与中医药学互动关系角度开展中医文化研究 ,不仅弥补了传统文化研究的一项空白 ,而且为阐释中医药学的文化属性提供了一个新视角

Quest for Similarities between Traditional Culture and Traditional Chinese Medicine--an Interview with Professor XUE Gong-chen from TCM Research Center of Nanjing University of Tradition Chinese Medicine

The craze for the Chinese culture is a component part of the craze for the Chinese traditional culture. It is of great theoretical significance to quest for the similarities between the traditional culture and traditional Chinese medicine since this not only enriches and deepens the connotation of traditional culture research but also throws light on the cultural nature of traditional Chinese medicine and promotes the modernization of traditional Chinese medicine. Researches in this field have been done in recent years, but with little results. It is advisable to carry out researches of the culture of traditional Chinese medicine by explaining the Taoist theory with the Confucianism and by understanding its relationship with traditional Chinese medicine as this bridges the gap in the researches in the traditional culture and provides a new perspective for the explanation of the cultural attribute of traditional Chinese medicine.
