Principles and Paths of Traditional Chinese Medicine Terminology System Construction for the Development of TCM Discourse System
The traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) terminology system is an important cornerstone of the TCM discourse system. Orient
ed towards the construction of the TCM discourse system, the principles for constructing the TCM terminology system were proposed that taking the logic with TCM characteristics as the leading factor and widely using artificial intelligence technology as an auxiliary. Meanwhile, a path for constructing the TCM terminology system was proposed, mainly adopting the genus plus species difference definition method, combined with the diachronic definition method and synchronic definition method to differentiate different meanings of terms, so as to accurately define the TCM terms; condensing "
xiang
-based analogy and categorization" and "category-based
xiang
reasoning" into key terms, so as to enhance the discourse power of TCM characteristic logical thinking; connecting and categorizing TCM terms from four aspects, namely, semantic type of TCM terms,
yin
-
yang
and the five phases classification system, semantic similarity of terms, and the category of the source domain. In the future, the TCM terminology system can be constructed based on dynamic knowledge graphs that integrate knowledge hypergraphs, providing raw materials for discourse innovation, and additionally, with the assistance of large language models in facilitating discourse dissemination, these efforts will jointly promote the development of TCM discourse system of traditional Chinese medicine.
