孙子兵学与中医“用药如用兵”

任何事物,都有实体支撑和整体关系两个层面。孙子兵学和中医都把重心放在各自领域的自然整体关系层面,因此前者提出"以形相胜",兵形重于实力,后者主张辨证论治,整体调节。自然整体,其内部和外部的全部复杂关系具有无限性、个别性,会随时变化而不确定。孙子兵学和中医对这样的本始自然的关系状态,采取尊重、保持和因顺的态度,而不像西方科学那样加以预设、控制和限定,故孙子兵学和中医的规律在表现形态上、在如何把握和运用上,有共同特点,而与西医和西方科学有别。

"The Art of War" by Sun-Tzu and "Prescription of Medicine as Dispatch of Soldiers" in Chinese Traditional Medicine

In any matter,there are two layers in supporting entity and in overall relations.Both Sun Tzu’s War Strategy and Chinese traditional medicine lay their stress on the layer of natural overall relations in respective field,the former raises "victory by form" stressing the morale over actual strength,and the latter’s assertion is discriminating treatment and overall adjustment.The natural whole has unlimited and uniquely complicated relations within and without,and is changing towards uncertainty with time.To such original state with natural relations both Sun Tzu’s War Strategy and Chinese traditional medicine take respecting,maintaining and abiding attitudes instead of predetermining,controlling and limiting as in Western sciences.Therefore,the patterns,manifesting forms and applications in both Sun Tzu’s War Strategy and Chinese traditional medicine are in common but different from western medicine and western sciences.
