Abstract:
[Objective]To explore the academic characteristics and ideological viewpoints in Nanjing Zhengyi,in order to provide a novel perspective and inspiration for the study of traditional Chinese medicine(TCM)theoretical classics.[Methods]Using Nanjing Zhengyi as the research subject,a literature review method was employed to systematically analyze YE Lin's academic viewpoints.By comparing annotated versions of Nanjing and integrating theories from both Chinese and western medicine,medical and I Ching thoughts,and theory of five movements and six climates,a multidimensional analysis was conducted on his academic perspectives and exegetical features.[Results]YE Lin employed western anatomical knowledge to elucidate TCM concepts such as Ying-Wei-Qi-blood,emphasizing TCM as the foundation while dialectically incorporating western medical knowledge.He clarified the anatomical localization of the pericardium,tri-Jiao and Mingmen,integrating Qi transformation theory to form an innovative model.Utilizing I Ching,he interpreted core mechanisms such as"fire entering water to transform Qi"and"Mingmen was the Taichi of the body".Additionally,he applied the five phases theory and the five movements and six climates theory to explore the principles of visceral Yin-Yang and epidemic diseases.[Conclusion]Nanjing Zhengyi represents an exemplary annotated edition of Nanjing with integration of Chinese and western medicine,medical and I Ching philosophy,and the five movements and six climates theory,showcasing YE Lin's academic approach which is grounded in TCM while incorporating western learning and integrating medical theories with I Ching principles.His theoretical innovations provide new perspectives for TCM classical research,warranting further study and clinical validation by future scholars.
