中医命门图的文献梳理与中医身体观的视觉建构
The Documentary Review of TCM Ming Men Illustrations and the Visual Construction of the TCM Body View
摘要
Abstract
Images of Ming Men(命门life-gate)hold an indispensable position in the interpretation of Ming Men theory.By studying medical texts such as Yi Xue Xun Yuan(《医学寻源》Finding Origin for Medicine),Wai Ke Zhai Yao Jue Fa(《外科摘要诀法》Essential Teachings and Summary of External Medicine),and Yang Yi Da Quan(《疡医大全》The Complete Compendium of Sores),which contain Ming Men illustrations,the study found that there are four views regarding the location of Ming Men:"Ming Men is in the right kidney","Ming Men is between the two kidneys","Ming Men is in the lower part of the human body",and"Ming Men is in the left kidney".This study systematically organizes Ming Men images from different ancient texts under the same viewpoint and interprets the relationship between text and image as well as the cultural connotations of representative Ming Men illustrations.Through the classification of 52 Ming Men images from 32 ancient books,the scattered Ming Men illustrations are integrated into a visual genealogy of thought.This approach not only clarifies the differences in Ming Men images under diff erent medical paradigms but also could provide a visual foundation for the construction of Ming Men theory.关键词
