Abstract:
The concept of holographic law is widely reflected in the theory and clinical practice of traditional Chinese medicine （TCM）. From philosophical perspective， TCM encompasses rich holographic law concepts， such as the theory of qi as the fundamental essence， mutual rooting and mutual storage of yin and yang， and mutual storage and classifications of the five phases. Through philosophical exploration of holographic law in TCM， this paper aimed to elucidate the connection between holographic law and TCM， and analyze the value and limitations of holographic law in TCM. Future research on holographic law in TCM should not only philosophically scrutinize the relationship between the whole and its parts under the guidance of holographic law thinking， but also incorporate qualitative and quantitative studies by referring to modern disciplines such as anatomy， physiology， and pathology， in order to better understand and validate the holographic law concepts in TCM.
