摘要: 中医药语言隐喻特点突出，中医学中的“寒”、“热”是一种概念隐喻。本研究采用温度启动范式和内隐联想范式探究中药四性概念“温、热、寒、凉”的温度隐喻表征。结果表明，具体的温度线索没有易化中医药学生对中药四性概念的加工；而在内隐联想测验中，中药四性概念和温度概念表现出显著的内隐联结。即四性概念和温度概念存在内隐认知联系，但对中药四性概念的加工而言，具体的温度体验的激活并不是必要的，研究结果支持弱式隐喻观。

Abstract: The language of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) has prominent metaphorical characteristics. The “cold” and “heat” in TCM are conceptual metaphors. This study uses the temperature-priming paradigm and the implicit associative paradigm to explore the metaphorical representation of temperature in the concept of “warm, hot, cold, cool”. The result shows that the specific temperature cues did not facilitate the students’ processing of the concept of four properties of Chinese medicine. In the implicit association test, there was a significant implicit association between the concept of four properties and the concept of temperature. There is an implicit cognitive connection between the concept of four natures and the concept of temperature. However, for the processing of the concept of four natures of TCM, the activation of specific temperature experience is not necessary. The results of this study support the weak metaphor view.
