文章在认知语言学及色彩研究现状的背景下,探讨了中医五色形成的范畴化渊源,并对中医五色的意义进行了研究,认为中医五色理论的形成是五行学说背景下的产物。如果说五行学说是古人对世界万事万物的一种分类,那么五色配属五行就是一种基于联想的隐喻认知。中医五色不像现代物理语言所描述的那样客观,它带有很强的主观性,包涵了人们的心理、社会等因素,应该在概念隐喻的层面上进行解读。对中医五色理论的认知研究有利于我们更好地理解中医五色概念的形成及其在中医学中的运用。
This paper discusses the origin of Five colors of Chinese medicine from category. Then we study the meaning of Five-colors of Chinese medicine on the background of cognitive linguistics and present color research. It is thought that the formation of Five color theory is the product of Five-element theory. If Five-element theory is just a kind of classification that the ancient in the face of everything in the world, that the Five colors attached to Five elements is a kind of cognitive metaphor based on association. Five colors of Chinese medicine is not as objective as described by modern physics language, it is strongly subjective that contains psychological and social factors of human. So it should be interpreted at the level of the conceptual metaphor. The cognitive research of Five color theory of Chinese medicine would help us to better understand the formation of Five-color concept and its use in Chinese medicine.
