Metaphor – The Weaver of Chinese Medicine

How are the human being, health, and disease understood in Chinese medicine? How is the herbal theory constructed? How has Chinese medicine been developed? How should Chinese medicine be modernized? The answer to all these questions is Qu Xiang Bi Lei 取象比类, or Taking Image and Analogizing. Since Qu Xiang Bi Lei results in the formation of metaphors, so it is the metaphorizing process and the way of forming metaphors. Qu Xiang Bi Lei or metaphorizing is the core methodology of Chinese medicine. Its procedure &quot;Observing Object - Taking Image - Analogizing - Understanding Dao&quot; runs through almost all the aspects of Chinese medicine from forming its fundamental concepts, elaborating its theories, developing its clinical explorations, guiding clinical practice, to developing Chinese medicine, and finally forming metaphors in Chinese medicine. Metaphor, the Dao or Way of constructing and developing Chinese medicine, is the weaver of Chinese medicine. This book lays a solid foundation for understanding, developing and modernizing Chinese medicine in the right way.
