摘　　要：为回答中医理论的来源与其发展方向这一命题,运用对比的方法,论证中西医学对神在概念上和认知体系上的差异,导出产生“心主神明”与“脑主神明”历时4年大辩论的缘由与归缩,深刻地论述了“神”的内涵,认为“神”是中医学对生命本质的认识,提示当前对中医理论的研究,应尊重中医名词概念的内涵,寻求透彻的理解,切忌张冠李戴,生搬硬套。只有坚持正确的起点,才能发挥中医理论的演绎功能及其对临床实践的指导。This article aims at discussing the situation and future of traditional Chinese medical theory. By comparing the differences of the concept and knowledge about mind between traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) and western medicine, the debate about the source and destination of 'brain governing mind' and 'heart governing mind' were analyzed and the meaning of mind was thoroughly explained. It is concluded that in the theory of TCM mind is the essence of life. To develop the theory of TCM, the eoncept of TCM terminology should be understood thoroughly; it should be neither misused nor applied mechanically. Only having a good and correct beginning, can the development of TCM theory and its guidance in clinic be achieved.
