知识史视域下现代中医病因理论的构建OA

By examining the knowledge construction of traditional Chinese medicine(TCM)etiology theories through the methodology of knowledge archaeology,it can be discerned that the origins of TCM etiology theories trace back to the pre-Qin period,with the early etiology theories centered on'direct causes'.Following the Sui and Tang dynasties,'inferred causes'gradually emerged and became the mainstream of etiology theories during the Ming and Qing dynasties.The modern reconstruction of TCM etiology theories under the ideology of syndrome differentiation and treatment involves,on the one hand,the integration of etiology theories from various dynasties,particularly by taking'inferred causes'as the primary focus of modern TCM etiology,and on the other hand,the interpretation and absorption of some etiological knowledge from modern medicine,thereby enriching the theoretical connotations of TCM etiology.
