摘要
“Shen”is one of the core contents in the basic theory of traditional Chinese medicine(TCM).Taoist philosophy plays an important role in promoting the theoretical shaping and medical transformation of“Shen”.Taking the medical history as the thread and medical philosophy as the speculative dimension,this paper systematically sorts out the evolutionary trajectory of“Shen”in TCM from supernatural worship to philosophical abstraction,and then to medical embodiment,deeply analyzes the shaping effect of Taoist thought on the theoretical framework of“Shen”,and interprets its contemporary medical value.The research shows that Taoist philosophy provides a cosmological foundation,the core of the interdependence of essence,Qi,blood and Shen,and the guidance of spiritual inward concentration for“Shen”in TCM;Huangdi Neijing(Yellow Emperor’s Internal Classic)deeply integrates Taoist philosophy with medical practice,promoting the medical transformation of“Shen”.Its core ideas of“the unity of nature and man”and“the unity of form and Shen”provide traditional wisdom for modern psychosomatic medicine and systems medicine.The“Shen”theory,for which Taoist philosophy serves as an important intellectual source,is not only a crucial foundation for the inheritance and innovation of TCM theory,but also provides important ideological reference for the holistic development of modern medicine.
