Abstract:
Interpreting configuration of ancient Chinese characters means to divide characters into several parts,and infer the meaning of characters from the meanings of each part,the relationship between parts and the context.This method,characterized by tracing the original source and visualizing the characters, can be used to explain the meaning of Huangdi Neijing(Huangdi's Internal Classic)text and its TCM terms vividly.It may contribute to a more accurate and profound understanding of the medical theory in Huangdi Neijing,and building a deep understanding of the thinking pattern of classification according to manifestation by ancient people.
