Theory of TCM pathogenesis from the perspective of metaphysics:Taking"General Treatise on Causes and Manifestations of All Diseases·Wind Diseases"as an example
"Metaphysics"is a philosophical perspective different from mechanical materialism,and the Chinese philosophy and traditional Chinese medicine's view of the human body as"body-qi-spirit"embodies a"metaphysical"cognitive pattern.This paper takes the content of General Treatise on Causes and Manifestations of All Diseases·Wind Diseases as an example to analyze and compare the cognitive evolution process of wind diseases in General Treatise on Causes and Manifestations of All Diseases.It is argued that the General Treatise on Causes and Manifestations of All Diseases constructs a body model characterized by"metaphysics"where the meridian system connects the entire body to facilitate the flow of qi and blood,with the organs serving as the storage places for essence-qi.Through the analysis of the symptoms of stroke,it reveals the specific application of this body model in the theory of disease mechanisms.The meridian tendons,as the subordinate parts of the meridian system,become the physical basis for the explanation of stroke with their substantive existence.It is thus determined that General Treatise on Causes and Manifestations of All Diseases has perfected the two-layer space of"metaphysical-physical"body structure of the theory of disease pathogenesis,laid the foundation for the theory of disease mechanism with the state of qi and blood as the focus of discussion,and constructed a model of disease diagnosis and treatment,which is"disease-symptom-etiology and pathogenesis-treatment".
