摘　　要：中国古代对"数"的应用有数学之数和象数之数的区别。取象运数之数主要不是用来计算,而是一种象征,它更多地反映了客观世界质的而非量的特征,是一种特殊的象。中医学较多地使用了象数思维方法。象数之数或显在或隐蔽地存在于中医学术体系的诸多方面,在分析具体问题时,不能将数学之数和象数之数相混淆,对二者的区别应始终保持清醒的认识,甚或是某种警觉。The application of numbers fell into two broad categories in ancient China, including numbers employed in Xiang-Shu thought and those used in mathematics. Instead of being used for computation, numbers in Xiang-Shu thought are a kind of symbols which are a reflection of qualitative characteristics other than quantitive features of the objective world. Therefore, the sharp distinctions between numbers in Xiang-Shu thought and those in mathematics should always be kept in mind while analyzing specific questions since the thought of absorbing symbols and taking numbers is frequently applied in traditional Chinese medicine （TCM） and numbers in Xiang-Shu thought exist either evidently or snugly in many aspects of the academic system of TCM.
