Objective

This study aims to investigate the trends and emerging areas of interest in cross-cultural research related to Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM).

Methods

A comprehensive literature search was conducted across several databases, including CNKI, Wanfang, VIP, SinoMed, PubMed, Embase, the Cochrane Library, and Web of Science. The retrieved articles were manually screened. Bibliometric analysis and visualization techniques were employed using CiteSpace software, with a focus on six key areas: annual publication volume, authorship, institutional contributions, keyword co-occurrence, keyword clustering, and burst terms.

Results

The analysis revealed a generally increasing trend in annual publication volume, with a peak observed in 2020. The network of core authors was found to be relatively dispersed. A significant proportion of the publications originated from universities specializing in TCM. Six distinct keyword clusters were identified, along with 25 burst terms, which were predominantly associated with TCM, cross-cultural studies, and cultural communication. The five most prominent terms in terms of intensity were “TCM,” “Guasha,” “reliability and validity,” “cross-cultural,” and “cultural communication.”

Conclusions

Present research focal points in this domain encompass the translation of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) classics, cultural disparities, and TCM English education. Future investigations should enhance collaboration among research institutions and scholars, concentrating on cross-cultural communication pathways and strategies, the translation of TCM philosophical and cultural concepts, and translation into less commonly taught languages. The objective is to foster innovative practices in cross-cultural TCM research.
目的本研究旨在探讨中医跨文化研究的趋势和新兴领域。方法在中国知网、万方、维普、中国医学信息网、PubMed、Embase、Cochrane Library、Web of Science等数据库进行综合文献检索。检索到的文章是手动筛选的。使用CiteSpace软件进行文献计量分析和可视化技术,重点关注6个关键领域:年出版量、作者、机构贡献、关键词共现、关键词聚类和突发术语。结果分析显示,年发表量总体呈上升趋势,在2020年达到高峰。研究发现,核心作者网络相对分散。相当比例的出版物来自中医专业的大学。我们发现了6个不同的关键词集群,以及25个突发术语,这些术语主要与中医、跨文化研究和文化交流有关。“中医”、“瓜沙”、“信度和效度”、“跨文化”和“文化交流”五个词在强度上最突出。结论目前中医英语翻译的研究热点包括经典翻译、文化差异和中医英语教育。未来的研究应加强研究机构和学者之间的合作,重点研究跨文化传播途径和策略、中医哲学和文化概念的翻译以及翻译成不太常用的语言。目标是促进跨文化中医研究的创新实践。

Traditional Chinese Medicine possesses a millennia-old historical legacy in China, with its cultural ethos profoundly shaping the evolution of medical philosophies both domestically and across neighboring regions. Investigating innovative pathways for advancing TCM's international cultural dissemination through tourism not only expands methodological frameworks for cultural tourism but also enriches TCM's contemporary conceptual dimensions and facilitates its global proliferation. This study first elucidates the core tenets of TCM culture and the imperative for its transcultural propagation, emphasizing its holistic philosophy of “harmony between humanity and nature” (天人合一), syndrome differentiation-based therapeutic principles (辨证施治), and the integrative practice of medicinal nutrition (药食同源). Subsequently, it analyzes the unique advantages of tourism as a vehicle for TCM's cross-cultural transmission on a practical level, the research proposes a multidimensional product development framework encompassing medical tourism, festival tourism, study-abroad tourism, and business tourism. Furthermore, two thematic itineraries are designed based on regional characteristics and TCM-specific principles: a hot spring wellness tourism circuit and a specialized TCM experiential route. These initiatives establish a synergistic dissemination mechanism through resource integration, cultural semiotic decoding, technological innovation, and multi-stakeholder collaboration.
The findings demonstrate that tourism, as an embodied communication medium, effectively resolves semiotic barriers in transmitting TCM's profound cultural values. This approach provides innovative methodological frameworks and practical paradigms for the international dissemination of traditional medical systems. The study concludes that tourism-mediated strategies not only enhance cross-cultural comprehension of TCM's epistemic foundations but also foster intercultural dialogues that transcend biomedical hegemony, ultimately contributing to the co-construction of global medical pluralism.
中医在中国拥有上千年的历史遗产,其文化精神深刻地影响着国内和周边地区医学哲学的演变。探索通过旅游推动中医药国际文化传播的创新路径,不仅拓展了文化旅游的方法论框架,而且丰富了中医药的当代概念维度,促进了中医药在全球的传播。本研究首先阐明了中医文化的核心原则及其跨文化传播的必要性,强调了其“人与自然和谐相处”的整体哲学、辨证论治原则和药用营养的综合实践。在此基础上,从实践层面分析了旅游作为中医药跨文化传播载体的独特优势,提出了包含医疗旅游、节日旅游、留学旅游和商务旅游在内的多维度产品开发框架。此外,根据区域特色和中医特色原则,设计了两条主题路线:温泉养生旅游线路和中医专业体验路线。这些举措通过资源整合、文化符号解码、技术创新和多方合作,建立了协同传播机制。研究结果表明,旅游作为一种具身传播媒介,有效地解决了中医深层文化价值传播中的符号学障碍。这种方法为传统医学系统的国际传播提供了创新的方法框架和实践范例。研究认为,以旅游为媒介的战略不仅可以促进对中医知识基础的跨文化理解,而且可以促进超越生物医学霸权的跨文化对话,最终有助于共同构建全球医学多元化。

Spirit as “as-if-presence”: The concept of “Shen” in the Huangdi Neijing and the “becoming” nature of life “似临”的精神:《黄帝内经》中“神”的概念与生命的“成”性
Pub Date : 2025-01-01 DOI: 10.1016/j.techum.2025.10.005

The concept of “Shen” (神), often translated as “spirit” or “divinity,” stands as a cornerstone of the life philosophy within the Huangdi Neijing (Yellow Emperor’s Inner Canon). Through a combination of textual exegesis and theoretical interpretation, this paper traces the philological origins of “Shen” and explores the process of its philosophical connotations permeating into the medical realm. When examined through the lens of the Confucian ritual principle “sacrifice as if the spirits were present” (“祭神如神在” Analects 3:12), “Shen” reveals itself not as a static substance, but as a dynamic, context-dependent “as-if-presence” (“如在”). The study finds that “Shen” is not only a medical concept that bridges the body and the internal life vitality, its “as-if-present” mode of diagnosis also corresponds to the “becoming” nature of life and makes the metamorphosis of life possible.
“神”的概念,通常被翻译为“精神”或“神”,是《黄帝内经》(黄帝内经)生活哲学的基石。本文通过考证与理论解释相结合的方法,追溯“神”的文献学渊源,探讨“神”的哲学内涵向医学领域渗透的过程。当通过儒家仪式原则的透镜来审视“献祭就好像神灵在场”(《论语》3:12)时,“神”并不是作为一种静态的物质,而是作为一种动态的、依赖于上下文的“仿佛在场”(“仿佛在场”)。研究发现,“神”不仅是一个连接身体和内在生命活力的医学概念,其“临在”的诊断模式也对应着生命“变”的本质,使生命的蜕变成为可能。

Author—Anonymous and Distributed 作者-匿名和分发

The study of authorship faces a wilderness of extant forms, alive and open to interpretation. The first of these—anonymous—takes us into the vast archive of texts absent the author function. It includes the myriad of faceless, unsigned texts and those signed by masked authors, whose very function is to remove authorial identity from consideration. The second—collective—contains texts produced in collaboration, across time and space. More than a person, the author in that sense comprises a system, which embodies social and technological components. Against this archive, the presence of a single named author seems to be an anomaly rather than the default it often feigns in literary history.
对作者身份的研究面临着现存形式的荒野,鲜活而开放的解释。其中第一个——匿名——带我们进入了大量没有作者功能的文本档案。它包括无数没有署名的文本,以及那些由蒙面作者署名的文本,蒙面作者的功能就是将作者身份从考虑中移除。第二个集体包含了跨越时间和空间的合作文本。从这个意义上说,作者不仅仅是一个人,而是一个包含社会和技术成分的系统。在这些档案中,只有一个作者的名字出现似乎是一种反常现象,而不是文学史上经常出现的默认情况。

This article explores the challenges faced by women in maintaining intimacy before and after pregnancy, including Female Sexual Dysfunction (FMA), Perinatal Mood and Anxiety Disorders (PMAD), and psycho-physical issues during the fourth trimester. A comprehensive overview is provided on how both direct and indirect technology can either facilitate or hinder the recovery of intimacy in this context. Specifically, the role of ultrasound technology is examined, highlighting its positive impact on FMA while acknowledging its potential negative effects when technicians lack training in perinatal mental health. The potential of Mobile Health (Mhealth) and its tools, such as wearables, econsultations, and Virtual Reality Exposure Therapy (VRET), in reaching women in underserved areas is discussed. However, concerns are raised regarding the risk of poor quality information dissemination and the potential for self-medicating attempts or inadequate preventive care associated with these technologies. Additionally, the significance of phone apps and online forums in women's lives is reviewed, with cautionary notes regarding the lack of information concerning the healing process of the fourth trimester, the risk of data breaches, and the dissemination of low-quality information. This analysis underscores the importance of considering the potential benefits and risks of technology in supporting women's intimate health before and after pregnancy.
本文探讨了女性在怀孕前后维持亲密关系时所面临的挑战,包括女性性功能障碍(FMA)、围产期情绪和焦虑障碍(PMAD)以及妊娠第四个月的心理和生理问题。全面概述了在这种情况下,直接和间接技术如何促进或阻碍亲密关系的恢复。具体而言,超声技术的作用进行了检查,强调其对FMA的积极影响,同时承认其潜在的负面影响,当技术人员缺乏围产期心理健康培训。讨论了移动医疗(Mhealth)及其工具(如可穿戴设备、咨询和虚拟现实暴露疗法(VRET))在服务不足地区的妇女方面的潜力。然而,人们对低质量信息传播的风险以及与这些技术相关的自我用药尝试或预防保健不足的可能性表示关注。此外,还回顾了手机应用程序和在线论坛在女性生活中的重要性,并就缺乏有关妊娠第四阶段愈合过程的信息、数据泄露的风险以及低质量信息的传播提出了警告。这一分析强调了考虑技术在支持妇女怀孕前后的私密健康方面的潜在益处和风险的重要性。

Posthumanism in ecofeminist literature: Transgressions in Kazuo Ishiguro's Klara and the Sun 生态女性主义文学中的后人类主义:石黑一雄《克拉拉与太阳》中的越界
Pub Date : 2024-09-01 DOI: 10.1016/j.techum.2024.10.003
Jan Gresil S. Kahambing , Virgilio A. Rivas
This paper establishes a critical place of conversation between an ecofeminist type of contravening patriarchal and masculine-centered discourse and posthumanist attempts to problematize boundary-setting systems assembled around the conceit of speciesism and human privilege. Kazuo Ishiguro's novel Klara and the Sun (2021) supplies this conversational groundwork centered around the novel's main protagonist, Klara, an Artificial Friend (AF). The literary presence of Klara is designed to infract a conventional social space (dominated by humans), technically eroding the human/non-human and nature/culture duality. Such erosion implies a transgression, portrayed in posthuman studies as a transcendence of the human and in ecofeminist studies as a deconstruction of the often-oppressive essentialist relationships of women and the environment. Transgression is the boundary-crossing mediation among actants. The novel permits us to see multivalent frames, each thematizing a posthuman future in terms of gender differences, the posthuman/human intricate gravitation towards loneliness, and, most of all, love. Through the examination of this work, an interrogation of the technological trajectory of the near future also suggests repositioning the role of posthumans concerning their environments.
本文建立了一个关键的对话场所,在生态女性主义类型的冲突父权和以男性为中心的话语和后人文主义试图问题化围绕物种主义和人类特权自负的边界设置系统之间进行对话。石黑一雄的小说《克拉拉与太阳》(2021)提供了这种对话基础,围绕小说的主角克拉拉,一个人工朋友(AF)展开。克拉拉的文学存在被设计为侵犯传统的社会空间(由人类主导),从技术上侵蚀人类/非人类和自然/文化的二元性。这种侵蚀意味着一种越界,在后人类研究中被描绘为对人类的超越,在生态女权主义研究中被描绘为对女性与环境之间往往是压迫性的本质主义关系的解构。越界是行为主体之间的跨界调解。这部小说让我们看到了多重价值的框架,每个框架都以性别差异、后人类/人类对孤独的复杂引力,以及最重要的爱为主题,来主题化后人类的未来。通过对这项工作的考察,对不久的将来的技术轨迹的询问也建议重新定位后人类在其环境中的作用。

Inter-mediality in Digital Media Environment 数字媒体环境中的中介性
Pub Date : 2024-09-01 DOI: 10.1016/j.techum.2024.11.002
Massimo Fusillo , Mirko Lino
As a medium literature has always been characterized by a strong virtual dimension: the capacity to evoke alternative worlds, an imaginary universe which may clash with the real one, or even deconstruct the opposition between real and fictional. Postmodern fiction has stressed and expanded the inter-medial aspect of literature, showing a true obsession with visual media and extra-literary codes. Sometimes it goes well beyond infinite, playful rewriting and becomes a true inter-medial phenomenon, a significant synergy between media and the arts, strongly linked to narrative strategies and symbolic values, as in the so-called maximalist novel. The digital revolution has already changed, and is still changing, the classical notions of author, text, public and intellectual property. Instead of defending the purity of a lost tradition, literature must now face the complex and multisensory logic of contemporary mediality, based on acceleration, simultaneity, and hyper-mediation. If literature is comparable to a medium, then, according to Derrida, the postmodern tendency to narrate the de-centration of the book might allow us to consider it as technology. Starting from this premise, the paper will endeavor to illustrate how the material supports of literature, i.e. the book and the printed page, are technological forms involved in a continuous process of computerization. We shall be analyzing The GRAMMATRON and Remix the Book, two projects by Mark Amerika, using examples showing how inter-mediality becomes a theoretical concept to express the complexity of aesthetical experiences in contemporary media contents.
作为一种媒介,文学一直具有很强的虚拟维度:能够唤起另一个世界,一个可能与现实世界发生冲突的想象世界,甚至解构现实与虚构之间的对立。后现代小说强调并扩展了文学的中间性,表现出对视觉媒介和文学之外的符码的真正痴迷。有时,它远远超出了无限的、好玩的重写,成为一种真正的中间现象,一种媒体与艺术之间的重要协同作用,与叙事策略和象征价值密切相关,就像所谓的极致主义小说一样。数字革命已经并仍在改变着作者、文本、公共和知识产权的经典概念。文学现在必须面对基于加速、同时性和超中介的当代媒介性的复杂和多感官逻辑,而不是捍卫失去的传统的纯洁性。如果把文学比作一种媒介,那么,根据德里达的说法,后现代倾向于叙述书的去中心化,可能会让我们把它看作一种技术。从这个前提出发,本文将努力说明文学的物质支持,即书籍和印刷页面,是如何参与持续的计算机化过程的技术形式。我们将分析Mark Amerika的《The GRAMMATRON》和《Remix The Book》这两个项目,通过实例展示中介性如何成为一个理论概念,以表达当代媒体内容中审美体验的复杂性。
{"title":"Inter-mediality in Digital Media Environment","authors":"Massimo Fusillo ,&nbsp;Mirko Lino","doi":"10.1016/j.techum.2024.11.002","DOIUrl":"10.1016/j.techum.2024.11.002","url":null,"abstract":"<div><div>As a medium literature has always been characterized by a strong virtual dimension: the capacity to evoke alternative worlds, an imaginary universe which may clash with the real one, or even deconstruct the opposition between real and fictional. Postmodern fiction has stressed and expanded the inter-medial aspect of literature, showing a true obsession with visual media and extra-literary codes. Sometimes it goes well beyond infinite, playful rewriting and becomes a true inter-medial phenomenon, a significant synergy between media and the arts, strongly linked to narrative strategies and symbolic values, as in the so-called maximalist novel. The digital revolution has already changed, and is still changing, the classical notions of author, text, public and intellectual property. Instead of defending the purity of a lost tradition, literature must now face the complex and multisensory logic of contemporary mediality, based on acceleration, simultaneity, and hyper-mediation. If literature is comparable to a medium, then, according to Derrida, the postmodern tendency to narrate the de-centration of the book might allow us to consider it as technology. Starting from this premise, the paper will endeavor to illustrate how the material supports of literature, i.e. the book and the printed page, are technological forms involved in a continuous process of computerization.
