"岐黄"考释

成书于战国时期的《黄帝内经》的主要内容以是黄帝、岐伯问答的体裁写成,因而后世即以“岐黄”代称《黄帝内经》。由于《黄帝内经》为中医学奠基之作,至宋代,岐伯与黄帝首次被窦材《扁鹊心书》合称为“岐黄”,并被奉为医学正率之祖,被请进庙堂供奉起来,并开始注入新的含义,不仅仅是岐伯、黄帝二人的简称,而是由此引申为专指正统中医、中医学,当然更多的是是作为中医,中医学的代称,同时,由“岐黄”组合的新词,也各有自己相应的意义。“岐黄之术”、“岐黄之道”,分别指中医学术或医术,中医理论,又“岐黄家”指中医生、中医学家,“岐黄书”指中医书,“岐黄业”指中医行业,等等,由此可见,“岐黄”一词中就蕴含着丰富的中国传统文化。
