Based On Category Theory And Chinese Feng Xie Concept Study Of Metaphor

Theoretical system of Chinese medicine for countless generations of medical scientists for thousands of years of groping through the accumulation and clinical applications in the verification and set up again, with a unique language and concepts of their own theoretical system. Today, we not only failed to fully understand the language and concepts of this theoretical system, even for error in its interpretation, which is caused in nearly a century of medical science of criticism and doubt. Medicine system in urgent need to rebuild, and re-building is premised on the correct interpretation of the language of Chinese medicine, Chinese medicine only know what language to use based on traditional Chinese medicine theory to understand what kind of theory, one of the most The work is clearly based on the basic concepts of Chinese medicine "actually refers to" lies.Cognitive linguistics starts from a basic premise:"in the language and the objective world there is an intermediate level between the'cognitive'." Cognitive linguistics provides another metaphor for the interpretation of an important path to the context in which Theory of a better metaphor to explain the phenomenon of language. Scope of the final product that is commonly referred to as the concept of cognitive linguistics called "cognitive domain" or "conceptual framework." Concepts presents a "prototype effect", the "prototype" form the basis for categorization, which has the most typical and most within the context of the shared characteristics of the prototype as the central concept is built up. Theoretical system of Chinese medicine have demonstrated the basic concept and prototype of the tendency of areas, the theoretical system of medicine is filled with a large number of "test the concept of metaphor." This will be the Prototype category theory, especially the theory of cognitive motivation, the preliminary analysis of medicine "Feng Xie," the concept of categorization features, and as a basis for investigation, "Feng Xie," The formation mechanism of conceptual metaphor.1. Objective(1) From the perspective of cognitive linguistics to explore the basic concepts in medicine system build process.(2) Attempt to clarify the medicine "Feng Xie," the concept of a category rather than a single entity.(3) To find the medicine "Feng Xie," the scope and nature, the concept of "culture" concept based on the similarity of areas.(4) Explicitly in medicine "Feng Xie," the concept belongs to the category level.(5) Study medicine, "Feng Xie," the scope of the concept prototype.(6) From the perspective of modern conceptual theory in the medical characteristics of the basic concepts of the theoretical system.2. Methods(1) Application literature review, analysis, study medicine, "Feng Xie," Origin of concept formation.(2) From the modern category theory, the perspective of conceptual metaphor theory, "Feng Xie," the concept of the formation.(3) Application of "family resemblance" theory study, "Feng Xie," and "culture" of similarity.(4) Application of "Prototype Theory" investigation "wind" polysemy of words.(5) Based on the characteristics of level areas to investigate, "Feng Xie," category features.(6) Shift from the modern concept of Chinese medicine theory of the concept of features.3. Results(1) Medicine "Feng Xie", concept is the result of categorization, metaphorical test is the concept of necessary and sufficient conditions can not be determined.(2) The cause of the "Feng Xie", and the nature of the "Feng Qi" with "family resemblance."(3) Medicine "Feng Xie" concept is based on the natural world "culture" as the prototype form of conceptual metaphor.(4) Chinese medicine, "Feng Xie," the concept of features to meet the basic level categories.(5) The concept of Chinese medicine is a prototype concept.4. ConclusionChinese medicine, "Feng Xie" concept is based on nature "atmosphere" for the category formed the prototype conceptual metaphors, Chinese medicine, "Feng Xie, the concept is not an "individual," but a "category." "Feng Xie," the concept of formation of categories is based on "family resemblance", and scope of the prototype through its "wind" is characterized. Basic theory of Chinese medicine is the concept of a prototype system of the concept of evil.
