Most of the innovations and achievements of famous doctors in theory and practice are closely related to Huangdi Neijing. ?

Huangdi Neijing has a high position in China medicine, and all successful doctors in later generations attach great importance to it.

It has become the cornerstone of China medicine, the source of the theoretical system of traditional Chinese medicine and the basis of clinical diagnosis and treatment. Later generations regard it as a "classic medical book" and a must-read book for studying Chinese medicine. It is an important document for the study of traditional Chinese medicine and a valuable cultural heritage of the Chinese nation. As the theoretical basis and essence of traditional medicine in China, its leading role and contribution in medicine is indispensable in the long history of the prosperity of the Han nationality in the past two thousand years. ?

Huangdi Neijing is the source of the theoretical system of traditional Chinese medicine and a classic work that comprehensively discusses the theory of traditional Chinese medicine. Based on ancient anatomical knowledge and guided by ancient philosophical thoughts, it gradually developed from perceptual to rational and from fragment to synthesis through long-term observation of life phenomena and repeated verification of medical practice, and put forward many important theoretical principles and academic viewpoints.

It not only laid the basic framework of the theoretical system of traditional Chinese medicine, but also provided the possibility for the continuous improvement and development of traditional Chinese medicine in later generations. The book Neijing is not only the best witness of the development level of medicine at that time, but also a reliable cornerstone of the research and development of modern Chinese medicine. ?
