近代之三焦爭論

Argument on San Jiao (Triple Heater) in Recent Years

關於近代之三焦爭論，論文選取1957年到2005年論文60篇。從統計中，我們可以發現近代醫家對三焦的看法相當分歧，60篇論文有35種看法，真可形容為“南轅北轍”。從趨勢上也可以看出：近代醫家很少贊成三焦“無形說”，幾乎全面支持三焦“有形說”，並且對於三焦形質的看法差異極大。近代醫家爭論之焦點與古代醫家非常不同，他們所關心的是三焦與現代醫學中何種解剖或生理名詞相對應。

The aim of this study was to discuss the disputes on San Jiao based on the selected 60 research papers from 1957 to 2005. The statistical information showed that recent physicians have many different opinions on San Jiao. There are 35 opinions in 60 research papers. It is a trend that almost all recent physicians are in favor of the theory of visibility instead of invisibility. Besides, there is a big discrepancy in the perspectives of physicians on SanJiao's characters. The point at issue of recent physicians is very different from the ancient physicians'. The recent TCM physicians focus on what anatomical and physiological terms of modern medicine San Jiao corresponds to.
