以系統論方法詮釋中國傳統思維：老子的哲學思想

中國古代以陰陽、五行和精氣學說解釋事物的運行規律。老子以非常簡練的筆法描繪了事物的運行和變化整個過程，並且給出了人們在維護社會發展時應該遵守的行為準則。本文嘗試以系統論的方法詮釋老子的哲學思想。希望能夠澄清一些人們對他的一些誤解。In ancient Chinese, people used Yin and Yang, Five Elements and essence theories to explain the law of the operation of things. Lao Zi used very concise strokes to depict the movement and change of things with the whole process and give the Code of Conduct that people should comply within the maintenance of social development. This paper uses the method in system theory to interpret the philosophical thoughts of Lao Zi and to clarify some misunderstandings some people have of him

Understanding traditional Chinese medicine from a systems theory perspective

The theory of the five elements, the yin-yang theory, the theory of qi and the meridian theory are the core components of traditional Chinese medicine. This paper attempts to integrate all of these theories under the framework of systems theory: the flow of the dynamical system is interpreted as the flow of qi; the structure of the dynamical system is understood as the structure of inter-promotion and inter-restraint of the five subsystems; the state space of the dynamical system is decomposed into two invariant sets which are similar to yin qi and yang qi; and the information system resembles that which controls the circulation of qi and regulates yin-yang. The result of integrating systems theory with traditional Chinese medicine is a more modern interpretation and understanding of traditional Chinese medicine.preprin

Interpretation of traditional Chinese thinking using a systems theory approach: Dialectical materialism

This study uses the formulation of systems theory to systematically interpret three ancient Chinese theories – the theory of the five elements, the theory of yin-yang, and the theory of qi. The five elements theory explains the internal structure and linkages of things; the theory of qi explains the change mechanism of materials, energy, and information both internally and externally; and the theory of yin-yang explains the conditions for the harmonious development of things and the reasons for their evolution. Together, these theories explain the laws and internal mechanisms of movement, change, and the development of things. Traditional Chinese thinking contains abundant dialectical materialism that is waiting for us to discover and apply.preprin

Combining systems theory and traditional Chinese medicine to understand modern economics

A social economy, like the human body, is an organic entity. This study uses the methods and theories of traditional Chinese medicine to understand modern economics. Specifically, it uses the theory of the five elements, the yin-yang theory, and the theory of qi to interpret circulation and changes in the social economy, to understand the operation of “the invisible hand” of the market, and to identify the intrinsic causes of economic malfunctions.preprin

Interpretation of traditional Chinese thinking using a systems theory approach: A harmonious society

A human society is an organic entity. Traditional Chinese thought is profoundly holistic. This essay first explains traditional Chinese thought according to systems theory. It then explains the flow of society, the formation of class hierarchy, social differentiation and integration, the optimization of social structure, the formation of a harmonious society and the driving force of social development according to traditional Chinese thought, i.e., by adopting the viewpoints, methods and language of the theory of qi and the yin-yang theory. The ancient Chinese ideologists and philosophers, especially Laozi and Confucius, produced a lot of important discourse on social harmony. Therefore, it is of great practical significance to know and understand their theories of social harmony.preprin

Interpretation of traditional Chinese thinking using a systems theory approach: Traditional Chinese medicine

中医学建基于五脏学说、阴阳学说和精气学说。本文尝试把三个学说整合到系统论的框架之下：把动态系统的流动解释为人体精气的流动；把动态系统的结构写成五行生克的结构；把动态系统的状态空间分解成两个集合，两个集合有着与阴阳基本相同的 特性。这个整合使现代科学的理论能够融入传统中医学，使中医学有另一个较为新颖的表述。preprin
