Abstract:
House of intelligence(Chinese:精明之府),a TCMterm,whose denotative meaning and con-notative meaning are discussed and analyzed in this paper,based on xiang (image)thinking methods combinaed with the concept of correspondence between nature and universe.After interpretation of "The head is house of intelligence"in Inner Canon ofHuangdi,this paper points out that house of intelligence should be an exact head and facial sensation which is an image of function not a specific anatomical struc-ture.In a word,house of intelligence is an image of human body correspondence to the images of nature and universe.The paper analyzed a classical issue from a new perspective,which is important for better understanding of TCMtheories.
