On the Systematic Dimension of Chinese Ergonomic Thought:Human,Nature and Cultural Society
Earlier researchers have identified the existence of Chinese ergonomics.Its uniqueness lies in its systematic nature when viewed from system theory.The Chinese view the human body as a dynamically balanced system connected by meridians to all structures,recognizing the complex nonlinear relationships between structures.They also understand the human body system in correspondence with natural systems,and construct a traditional cosmology of the unity of heaven and man.Ultimately,the image of the entire cultural society is constructed through objects.It can be said that this systematic thinking already has a general triple dimension:human,nature,and cultural society.Introducing Chinese systematic thinking into ergonomics can enrich the experimental stance and practical thinking of contemporary ergonomics.
