摘要
近代共识的中医属性是以阴阳五行、辨证论治等为特征的中医理论体系,以治疗慢性病和调理平衡为特点。但对医史的重温,却见中医曾经遏制烈性病的传播、曾经有过启迪性的医学发现,更有近年因发现抗疟药青蒿素使中医得到医学界褒奖。中医属性与这些史实的矛盾提示中医遗产不限于其理论体系,需重新审视中医并调整中医的挖掘和发展战略。
Traditional Chinese Medicine （TCM） is identified as its characteristic Yinyangism Five Phases theory and its di- agnosis and treatment method, and is thought to be good at chronic disease and not good at acute disease . However, it is found by reexamining TCM history that TCM once had contained the spread of very serious infectious diseases, had made some edificatory medical discovery, and got the achievement of the artemisinin killing plasmodium from TCM herbs, which got Lasker Medical Research Awards. The contradiction of TCM property and those TCM history points out that the her- itage of TCM is not limited to its theory system, and TCM character should be identified again and the strategy of develo- ping and excavating TCM should he modulated.
