A Study of the Thought in Tang Zong-Hai’s Book “Theory of Communicating with Medicine and ‘Yi-Ching’” / 唐宗海醫易通說思想研究

碩士 / 東吳大學 / 中國文學系 / 93 / The scholars who are concerned with the arguments against medicine science and “Yi-Ching”(易經) take the propositions seriously that the medicine and “Yi-Ching” have the same origin(醫易同原) or “Yi-Ching” is the source of the medicine(醫源於易). Tang Zong-Hai(唐宗海) is the philosopher in the late Qing Dynasty who learns both Chinese medicine and theory of “Yi-Ching” and advocates that medicine and “Yi-Ching” can communicate each other(醫易相通). He is the one of the typical representatives who express Chinese and Western medicine being in harmony(中西醫匯通) definitely. The situation in the late Qing Dynasty is turbulent, but it is also a crucial age because the countrymen pay more and more attention to the western medicine. Tang Zong-Hai’s two propositions that medicine and “Yi-Ching” can communicate each other, and Chinese and Western medicine are in harmony indicate the direction which track down the origin and incorporate things of diverse nature. Therefore, Tang Zong-Hai quotes the philosophy of “Yi-Ching” in his book, and inter-reflect the penetrating theory about the communication with medicine and “Yi-Ching” by popularizing and summarizing Yin-Yang(陰陽) in “Yi-Ching”. Moreover, he clarifies the theoretical thoughts about Yi(易學理論) and western learnings(including western medicine) coordinate each other. However, lots of his opinions are restricted by the standard of knowledge at that time and his learnings, so there are some mistakes. In short, Tang Zong-Hai’s thoughts influence on the development of the theory of the medicine in the late Qing Dynasty.
“Theory of communication with medicine and ‘Yi-Ching’”(《醫易通說》) is the book that expresses Tang Zong-Hai’s thought “medicine and ‘Yi-Ching’ have the same origin” and collects his thoughts about medicine and Yi. Among it, not only the theory about Yi is the heart of the argument, but also it is infiltrated by the medicinal theory and western learning. This book is remarkable in the scholars’ thoughts which is about the medicine and “Yi-Ching” having the same origin after the modern time. I discuss the book “Theory of Communicating with Medicine and Yi-Ching” from the three aspects which are Tang Zong-Hai’s backgrounds of learning, age and writing. Following his thoughts, I probes the thought “medicine and ‘Yi-Ching’ have the same origin”. At last, we can perceive the essence and the importance of Tang Zong-Hai’s theory that medicine and “Yi-Ching” can communicate each other.
