二十世紀七○年代與八○年代,馬王堆與張家山脈書相繼出土,此期也正是大陸經脈現象循 經感傳研究的興旺時期,九○年代又有雙包山經脈木人出土。失傳了兩千多年的循經感傳脈學的復活,證實了經脈學說起源於古人觀察經脈現象的臨床實踐。復活了的臨床作法,地底下古漢墓中新挖掘出來的《脈書》與「脈人」,流傳下來的文字史料,這三者的交織造成了當代大陸經脈史學觀點的新衝突。但書比評法與「文化大革命」中的樣板法、二重證據法與三維分析法、俞拊氏猜想與鳳漢氏猜想、經脈循行線與經絡穴位線、經脈木人與孔穴銅人、扁鵲經脈思想與黃帝經絡學說、……。新觀點與新認識在新的衝突中產生。本文著重於提出新問題供人們思考,所做的討論則是初步的。
Many important finds have been made in historical research from the 1950s to 1990s in China, such as the research on ancient channel (jingmo)-books and the ancient channel-wooden figurine unearthed from Western Han Tombs in succession, especially the rediscovery of channel-phenomenon (propagated sensation along channels, hereafter PSC) that was lost for the last two thousand years ago. All of historical evidences mentioned about prove that the conception and theory of channels in ancient Chinese medicine originated from the observation and application of PSC in clinical practice diagnosing and treating diseases. Thereupon, new views of historical evidence on channel-phenomenon research came into conflict with old views on the Mainland. The old viewpoint emphasized treatments of written data handed down from ancient times and tried to find the materia1 object of channels. The new viewpoint pays attention to all historical evidence especially emphosized new materia1s, and seeking to re-estab1ish ancient medical history critically. This conflict is similar to the conflict between old and new views of historical evidence that occured in early twentieth-century China. This maybe a bold step into the 21st century.
