Abstract:
[Objective]To explore the similarities and differences of traditional Chinese and western medicine in the understanding of disease etiology and pathogenesis,treatment ideas,health preservation and prevention.[Methods]Taking The Inner Canon of Yellow Emperor and Hippocrates Corpus as research materials,conduct comparative study on the"spatio-temporal,constitution and disease treatment"correlation thoughts,and form logical chain and evidence network.[Results]In the traditional Chinese and western medical theory system,the temporal and spatial environment was the key factor affecting the type of constitution,and constitution as a bridge further influenced the difference of disease spectrum,onset time and course of disease in different populations.Based on this difference,both kinds of medicine adopted time-dependent and location-dependent health maintenance and treatment methods.However,in terms of the construction of specific time and space conditions,there were differences in the cognitive logic of Chinese and western medicines,which ultimately affected their respective development paths,and the Chinese and western medical development modes of"through-inheritance"and"sublation-replacement"had been formed respectively.[Conclusion]In terms of disease etiology and pathogenesis,traditional Chinese medicine puts the human body in a macroscopic spatio-temporal model and interprets the changes caused by the changes of the spatio-temporal environment,while traditional western medicine divides the spatio-temporal environment into many components and explores the influence of each element on human physiology and pathology.Based on the difference of"construction"and"deconstruction",both traditional Chinese and western medicines have formed their own classification thoughts of"spatio-temporal and constitution",and then have their unique thoughts of treatment and health preservation.
