Huangdi Neijing is a comprehensive medical work, which establishes the theories of Yin and Yang, five elements, pulse condition, Tibetan image, meridians, etiology, pathogenesis, symptoms, diagnosis, treatment, health preservation and luck.

Discussing medicine in a holistic view presents a "holistic medical model" of nature, biology, psychology and society (according to the research of modern scholars, it is considered that the traces of Huang family in this edition are invaded by Taoist priests in Sui and Tang Dynasties). Its basic material comes from the long-term observation of life phenomena in ancient China, a lot of clinical practice and simple anatomical knowledge.

Its evaluation

Huangdi Neijing has a high position in China medicine, and all successful doctors in later generations attach great importance to it. It has been translated into many languages, such as Japanese, English, German, French, etc., and it has also had a noticeable influence on the development of world medicine. Huangdi Neijing expounds the principles of man and nature, physiology, anatomy, pathology, diagnosis, health preservation and disease prevention and treatment with simple materialistic views and dialectical thoughts.

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.
