        "Analogy" is our ancestors research the laws of nature are generally use a simple cognitive method, also called" aid matter than class". It is to "like" the similar correlation study as the basis, to explore the essence of practice method of material. Long-term since, "analogy" had become the traditional Chinese medicine widely used method of reasoning, in the medicine development process played an important role in. Rational evaluation and proper use of "analogy" way of thinking, to explore the objectivity of the theoretical basis of traditional Chinese medicine, is the original thought of a way, in the" image thinking" has received unprecedented attention and research increasingly thorough today, has important practical significance.

        Analogy method is a kind of research method on natural

        "Analogy" is the ancient Chinese people to study the laws of nature are generally use a simple cognitive method, also called" aid matter than class"," false physical objects .". In the traditional Chinese medicine theory foundation of" Huangdi" in the treatise, the presence of a large number of "analogy" phenomenon. " Calm", shown on the pointed out: " the people 's medical treatment, through law degrees, aid matter than class, the invisible, on upper and lower, why holy." At the same time," five kinds of operation on" also mentioned:" heaven and earth Yang, not to the number of push, as that also." Wait. Long-term since, "analogy" had become the traditional Chinese medicine widely used logic thinking method, in the development of medicine has played a significant role in the process of.

        Analogy method is a way of thinking, which belongs to the category of methodology. Rational evaluation and proper use of "analogy" way of thinking, to explore its objectivity theory basis, in" image thinking" has received unprecedented attention and research increasingly thorough today, have important sense.

        There are some different things between identity and difference, identity provides "analogy" logical basis. The appearance of the same memory associated with the quality of the local. That is to say, as the same and quality with a certain range of anastomosis.

        Recently, some people learn Chinese medicine is defined as:" the media attribute abstraction medical." For example, they think, Chinese medicine said" fire" is by nature the media to cover fire happened in the human body with heat resistance properties of disease, this is not a direct expression, but an abstract concept, is an analogy and transfer process. Jia Chunhua said: "the Chinese language is based on the language of metaphor cognition; Chinese logic is a kind of to discover rather than proof logic." The metaphor in the language of Chinese medicine are ubiquitous in the etiology," six" kinky" emotions"; pathogenesis in terms of " evil victory"; pathogenesis on the words "hot under the cold"," exterior cold and interior heat;" Viscera-state doctrine of "heart, the monarch's official also, God gives Yan"; in the pharmaceutical drug" four properties and five flavor"; composing formula principles and emphasizing "Jun, Chen, with, make"; therapeutic principle of" cold heat, heat to the cold", is not based on metaphor. Metaphor in a sense is the" analogy", and" analogy" is for traditional Chinese medicine stresses.

        The author takes into account, analogy method can be thought of practice, its essence lies in nature and in which things in its development process, the Yin and yang balance, five rows of gas lift access wins complex, such as motion on different levels showing the coherence, and different things the external appearance of the similar and identical is the essence of motion coherence macroscopic reflection. For example, the nature of yin and Yang daily motion of the macro performance for diurnal alternating, humanity is represented as living labor," sunrise, in daily life" is the same essence ( yin and Yang movement ) acting on different things and external similarity representation. To sum up, analogy method in Chinese ancient naive materialism philosophy is generated on the basis of a study on the methodology of natural.

        Analogy method for modern Chinese medicine research

        Has been named the old doctor of traditional Chinese medicine, Chinese medicine master Mr Ren Jixue made it clear that: not only engage in" Chinese medicine", and" traditional Chinese medicine research". " Chinese Studies" and" Chinese medicine" mode is the fundamental difference between whether to Chinese medicine theory as a guide. Analogy method is a method of traditional Chinese medicine research, reasonable will use for the development of traditional Chinese medicine to continue service. In recent years, Hui in party and national policy, Chinese medicine industry has undergone an unprecedented development, research situation is auspicious, with modern scientific development, study method change rapidly, but at the same time as possible to retain the characteristics of Chinese medicine, focus on original thinking, avoid Handan toddler, cut one's feet the Procrustean bed, in accordance with the law of the development of traditional Chinese medicine traditional Chinese medicine research, be sure to improve clinical curative effect, be of great advantage of scientific research innovation.

        Therefore, in Chinese medicine research should be good at using the thinking of Chinese medicine, including the "analogy" thought, be bold imagination, careful forensics. "Analogy" the significance is to give ideas, but not inflexible. To be able to pass special phenomenon found in common law, good at passing the fortuitous discovery of necessity. But as a kind of method, must through constant practice to master, learning their successful use of" analogy" experience, will give us some inspiration.

        Basic theory of traditional Chinese medicine in the analogy method

        "Analogy" thought in TCM basic theory application is most wide, almost become a major feature of the theory of traditional Chinese medicine. Whether from its philosophical matrix on implantation of yin and Yang, five elements theory, or as a traditional Chinese medicine theory of main and collateral channels original Zangxiang doctrine, and the etiology, pathogenesis, exists" like". " Yin and Yang Yin, as big" said:" water and fire, of yin and Yang ", is about the image of yin and Yang, at the same time" on five kinds of operation" said : the heaven and earth Yang, not to the number of push to like that also, talk about its application, that is according to the" elephant" the analogy. " Yu Wen on such as fog, medium such as retting, coke under such as ditch" (" miraculous camp sanitation will" ) is by analogy and classification on human physiological description. Theory of the five elements as the ratio is more obvious, no longer.

        " Yin, Linglan secret Dian" human" as the viscera function relationship" analogous to" Twelve official functions, like" image and clearly expounds the overall relationship between organs of metaplastic, for physicians in further to inherit and to play the Zangxiang theory provides an example.

        " Yin, clutch really evil theory":" husband of saint has degree, will be in the world; the days have ones, have water, have the. The world is moderate, the water is very cold, quiet; with hydraulic cry; the days of summer heat, the water boil over, and storm, the water surge flow and long play". "The husband saint has degree, will be in the world", is also the traditional Chinese medicine in the bud, the theory of traditional Chinese medicine is a medical home take heaven and earth as analogy to human process, so" day ones, have water, have meridians", below and to human pathology via like doing tips.

        So it is," on air" put forward " alternating big top know astronomy, knowledge of geography, Zhongzhi personnel, can be a long time " as a doctor of Chinese medicine the ultimate requirements, this is because whether astronomy, geographical, personnel in each kind of phenomenon, may become a breakthrough point of the development of the theory of traditional Chinese medicine.
