研究以朱丹溪、张景岳对阴、阳有余不足的论争为切入点，从取象比类的立场分析其各自形成阴阳有余或不足的依据与原因，继而从“伏气”“非典”“提壶揭盖”与“增水行舟”“理饮汤”等诸多层面探究隐喻在认识病因、疾病、治法、方剂所起到的指引作用，藉此揭示中医传统理论由一串串的隐喻构成，一个好的隐喻不仅可以解释人体的生理、病理，同时也是确立治则、创制方剂的重要源泉。“取象比类”之后的中医理论将由具有层级结构与并列结构的隐喻构成。

The research take the argument of yin-yang deficiency and excess between Zhu Danxi and Zhang Jingyue as entry point，from the stand of metaphor to analyze the formation of basis and reason of respective opinion, and discover the metaphorical directive function to acknowledge etiology, disease, treatment, prescription in terms of incubative pathogen, SARS,“Ti hu jie gai”, smooth sailing with water rising, Li-yin Decoction and so on. Draw a conclusion that TCM theory is consist of a bunch of metaphor. A good metaphor not only explain the physiology and pathology of human body, but also the origin of establishing therapeutic principle and creating prescription. The theory of TCM after analogism will be reconstructed with hierarchical structure and coordinate structures.
