基于熵理论对《黄帝内经》生命观的再解读

Reinterpretation of the Concept of Life in Huangdi Neijing Based on Entropy Theory

摘要: 本文基于熵理论这一现代科学视角，对《黄帝内经》中蕴含的中医生命观进行解读。以熵理论在生命科学中的应用为切入点，尤其聚焦人体作为典型的耗散结构，通过代谢实现能量和物质的交换来维持低熵有序状态的核心机制，同时结合多年来国内学者对中医理论的研究，对《黄帝内经》“天人相应”的整体观、“阴阳平衡”的健康观、“脏腑学说”的命本观、“气血经络”的运行观等中医基础理论进行阐释和解读，并探讨了熵理论与中医之“神”的联系。通过现代熵理论对《黄帝内经》生命观进行再解读，以期用现代科学语言阐释中医生命观，将传统与现代进行关联，利于大众理解中医理论，助力中医现代化进程。

Abstract: This paper interprets the life view contained in the Huangdi Neijing from the perspective of entropy theory, a modern scientific perspective. Using the application of entropy theory in life sciences as a starting point, especially focusing on the human body as a typical dissipative structure, which maintains a low-entropy ordered state through metabolism to achieve the exchange of energy and matter, and combining the research of domestic scholars on the life view of the Huangdi Neijing over the years, it explains and interprets the basic theories of traditional Chinese medicine such as the “Correspondence between Heaven and Man” holistic view, the “balance of yin and yang” health view, the “visceral theory” view of life origin, and the “qi, blood, and meridians” operation view. Additionally, it explores the connection between entropy theory and the concept of “Shen” in traditional Chinese medicine. Through the reinterpretation of the life view of the Huangdi Neijing with modern entropy theory, it aims to explain the life view of traditional Chinese medicine in modern scientific language, connect tradition with modernity, facilitate the public’s understanding of traditional Chinese medicine theory, and contribute to the modernization process of traditional Chinese medicine.
