ABSTRACT

The open-closed question of TCM theoretical system, which based on the ancient ideology, was always the core question which the scholars pestered. In four aspects: "the concept of yin-yang and wuxing——TCM methodology cornerstone, the TCM theory construction methodology, macroscopic judgment randomness of the human body pathology mechanism, the difficult problem of TCM theory extension",this article had analyzed this question and tried to elaborate it. The authors considered that TCM standed in the closed-like theoretical system of yin-yang and wuxing, the objective idealism speculation was its essential characteristics. TCM developed from this and kept its step originally also.
