Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

Metaphor studies in China have a deep-seated and unique tradition. Actually, The Book of Changes, a remarkable piece of writing which is full of metaphors, is a Chinese philosophical classic on cognizing the world and understanding life. Metaphor is also a vital way to state and construct the theoretical system of Chinese medicine and develop its clinical explorations as well. I will teach this part by the following four chapters: 1) Metaphorizing: The Way to Bridge Chinese Natural Philosophy and Chinese Medicine; 2) Metaphors for Understanding the Human Being in Chinese Medicine; 3) Number Metaphors for Constructing the Theoretical System of Chinese Medicine; and 4) Metaphors for Developing Clinical Explorations of Chinese Medicine.
