Philosophical Exploration of the Idea of “Harmony” and Its Use in the Discussion of Medical Practice in Ulcerology

“调和”思想具有深刻且丰富的中国古代哲学内涵，在中医药的传承发展中占据重要地位，为目前疡科医疗实践的某些难题提供了思路。本文基于其哲学基础，试从“调和”非“以同裨同”而在于差异与矛盾的统一，探讨疡科中如何进行中西医结合；从“调和”非静止不变，而是动态的平衡，探讨津沽疮疡学术流派辨证、分期的外治思路在疮面治疗全过程的应用；从“调和”是“以和为贵”的行为准则，探讨中医标准化规范的制定在疡科中的必要性；从“调和”是“知和曰常”的自然法则，探讨感染创面的应对策略，以期为目前疡科的发展提供方向。The idea of “reconciliation” has deep and rich philosophical connotations in ancient China, occupies an important position in the development of Chinese medicine, and provides ideas for some of the difficulties in the current medical practice of ulcerology. Based on its philosophical foundation, this paper tries to explore how to combine Chinese and Western medicines in ulcer medicine from the point of view that “reconciliation” is not “to benefit the same with the same” but the unity of differences and contradictions; from the point of view that “reconciliation” is not static but dynamic balance, we discuss how to combine Chinese and Western medicines in ulcer medicine. From the point of view that “harmony” is not static but dynamic balance, we will discuss the application of the external treatment idea of identification and staging in the whole process of ulcer treatment in the Academic School of Jingu Sore and Ulcer; from the point of view that “harmony is the most precious”, we will discuss the need for standardisation of Chinese medicine in the ulcer department; from the natural law that “harmony” is “to know and to be constant”, we will discuss the coping strategies for infected wounds with a view to providing a direction for the development of ulcerology.
