中医:科学与人文的艺术交融体

“中医是否是科学”这一争论已持续百余年。近年，由此而引发的有关中医存废问题的争辨引起了各界关注。其实，细看争辨中涉及的科学、科学划界，特别是抖学依据等概念，不难发现一些争辩中的结论似乎有些草率。毕竟，中西医是产生于不同文化背景下的两个医学体系，都带有自身的文化烙印。产生于中华文化的中医，不管过去还是现在都为人类的健康作出了重大贡献，至今仍是具有强大生命力的综合性学问。它是科学与人文的艺术交融体。在西方科学主义和西方现代医学占据主流的今天．应该不带偏见地认知它、研究它，使之焕发出新的生命。

Chinese traditional medicine is the integration of arts from science and humanities

The controversy whether ＂Chinese traditional medicine is scientific＂ had continued for more than 100 years. Recently,the retention or abolition of the Chinese traditional medicine aroused the attention of all sectors. In fact, looking at the concepts of science and science demarcation, especially the scientific basis, it was not difficult to find that the results appeared rash. After all, Chinese traditional medicine and western medicine were produced in two different cultures, and were all with their own cultural stigma. Produced in Chinese culture, Chinese medicine had made a significant contribution for human health,whether past or present. It was still full of strong vitality of the comprehensive knowledge and it was the integration of the arts from science and humanities. Although western science and western modern medicine occupied the mainstream nowaday, Chinese traditional medicine shouldn＇t be preiudice to acknowledze and studv, and it could grow with brand new life.
