前言

Traditional Tibetan medicine is a time-honored medical knowledge systemcreated mainly by the people inhabiting the Himalaya Mountains and the QinghalTibet Plateau region through a long course of experience in fighting againstdisease and preserving good health. Naturally, the provenance of Tibetan medi-cine should originate from Tibet, but Tibetan medicine is also an integral part oftraditional Chinese medicine （TCM） as a whole. Ironically, due to complex historical reasons, for a long time, Tibetan medicine didn't arouse due attentionand interest in inland China. Before 1949, no works on Tibetan medicine hadappeared in China, and there were no academic papers published either.   Over the last three decades, people in China, including the Tibetans them-selves, have begun to pay close attention to Tibetan medicine. A number ofhigh-quality academic papers have been published, some of them exerting greatinfluence in the pertinent fields, arousing interest among all of those closely involved in the field of Tibetology. The Sman thang Series of hanging scrolls with amedical theme, for instance, was first published in China in the mid-1980s inboth Tibetan-Chinese and Tibetan-English versions, marking a new epoch in the study of Tibetan medicine in China. Of course, due to the lack of experience and constraints at the academic level, these publications are certainly not perfect. Yet, the project plays a pioneering role in expediting the pace of China's efforts tocatch up with the study in this field internationally.

章节摘录

插图：1.2.3 Etiological TheoryFormed when Buddhism first flourished, Tibetan medicine is unique in itsrecognition of the causes of disease, with an ethnic flavor, as well as a religiouscoloring, thus forming a unique theory of etiology. There are several methods of classification. A theory holds that diseases occur only under three conditions, ieorig in, accumulation and induction. This is called the theory of external causes. On the origin, it is claimed that the seasons, the five sensory organs, anddaily life are closely related. Any reverse, deficiency, exuberance of an elementcan become the origin of a disease. For instance, season refers to cold, heat and rain. When these three are less than normal, then this is a deficiency; when they are in surplus, then, it is excess. Opposite refers to heat appearing in the coldseason, cold appearing in the hot season, and drought appearing in the rainyseason; these are all opposites. Or, in other words, they are the origin of diseases. This is quite similar to the six-excessiveness theory of etiology in TCM.   The five sensory organs are responsible for special sensation, namely, theeyes for seeing, the ears for hearing, the nose for smelling and the tongue fortasting. When stimuli are optimal, then, no disease would happen. Any deficientor excessive stimulus m either too far, too near, over-stimulation or in aparadoxical form that cannot be tolerated by the organism forms a reverse
