Huangdi Neijing is one of the four classic works of traditional Chinese medicine (Huangdi Neijing, Treatise on Febrile Diseases, Synopsis of the Golden Chamber and Treatise on Febrile Diseases), and it is also the first masterpiece handed down under the name of Huangdi, the ancestor of the Chinese nation, and the earliest medical classic in China's medical treasure house. It is a medical masterpiece that studies human physiology, pathology, diagnostics, therapeutic principles and pharmacology. Theoretically, the theories of yin and yang, five elements, pulse condition, Tibetan image, meridians, etiology and pathogenesis, symptoms, diagnosis, treatment, health preservation and luck are established. His medical theory is based on China's ancient Taoist theory, which embodies China's ancient thought of harmony between man and nature.
Huangdi Neijing, written in the Warring States Period, is the earliest extant monograph of TCM theory in China. Summarized the medical experience and academic theory from the Spring and Autumn Period to the Warring States Period, absorbed astronomy, calendar, biology, geography, anthropology and psychology before Qin and Han Dynasties, and comprehensively expounded the anatomy, physiology, pathology and diagnosis, treatment and prevention of diseases of human body by using the theory of the integration of Yin and Yang and the Five Elements and Heaven, and established a unique theoretical system of traditional Chinese medicine, which became the theoretical basis and source of medical development in China.
Among the 13 prescriptions in Huangdi Neijing, the earliest existing Chinese medicine book, there are 10 kinds of Chinese patent medicines, as well as pills, powder, wine and pills.
What does Huangdi Neijing mean? In Neijing, many people think it is about the internal laws of the human body, while others think it is about internal medicine. However, relevant experts believe that Huangdi Neijing is a book about "seeking from within", so it is called Neijing to make life healthy and long-lived, not seeking from outside, but seeking from within. In other words, you don't have to take any medicine to make your life healthy, such as how to treat a disease.
In fact, there are only 13 prescriptions in the whole Huangdi Neijing, and there are very few prescriptions. The key is to look inward. First, look inward, that is, look inward at our internal organs and how our qi and blood flow, and then practice inward, so as to achieve the goal of health and longevity by adjusting qi and blood, meridians and viscera. Therefore, seeking from the inside actually points out a method and way for us to correctly understand life. This method is different from modern medical methods, which rely on instruments, laboratory tests and anatomy. On the other hand, traditional Chinese medicine relies on introspection, understanding and intuition.
Relevant experts believe that Huangdi Neijing can be summarized in three ways.
First, Huangdi Neijing is the first classic of TCM theory. After the emergence of human beings, with diseases, it is inevitable to seek various ways to treat diseases, so the formation of medical technology is indeed much earlier than Huangdi Neijing. However, the formation of Chinese medicine as an academic system began with Huangdi Neijing, so Huangdi Neijing is recognized as the cornerstone of Chinese medicine. This book systematically tells the principles and methods of human physiology, pathology, disease and treatment for the first time, and has made great contributions to human health. After the formation of Chinese medicine, it has protected our Chinese nation, made our Chinese nation endless, and enabled our Chinese sons and daughters to overcome diseases and disasters, which has continued to this day. The Chinese nation without Chinese medicine and Huangdi Neijing is unimaginable.
Second, Huangdi Neijing is the first book of health preservation. Huangdi Neijing talks about how to cure diseases, but more importantly, it talks about how not to get sick and how not to take medicine, so that we can live a long and healthy life and live to be 100 years old.
A very important thought in Huangdi Neijing —— "Treating diseases before they occur".
Huangdi Neijing said: "If you don't treat a disease, you can't treat it. If you don't treat it, you will be treated indiscriminately. "
"Prevention of disease" means that if a person's liver has a problem, it does not mean blindly treating the liver, but also starting from other organs that are not sick. Liver belongs to wood, kidney belongs to water, aquatic wood, heart belongs to fire, and wood makes fire. Therefore, we should also start with the kidney and heart.
"Governance without treatment is chaos" means that if there is a problem in the management mode of a company, it will cause chaos. Don't blindly solve the current chaos, but start with the causes and consequences of chaos. Simply put, as long as the front and back ends are solved, the trouble in the middle will not exist ~
Thirdly, Huangdi Neijing is the first encyclopedia about life. Huangdi Neijing focuses on life and talks about medicine, astronomy, geography, psychology, sociology, philosophy and history. This is an encyclopedia about life problems. The core of our traditional Chinese studies is actually the philosophy of life, and Huangdi Neijing is the most influential classic of traditional Chinese studies named after Huangdi. There are three wonderful books named after "Jing" in ancient China. The first book is the Book of Changes, the second is the Tao Te Ching, and the third is the Huangdi Neijing. Nowadays, these three wonderful books have not only attracted the attention of Chinese children and descendants of the Yellow Emperor, but also aroused great concern of people all over the world, because their value has become more and more prominent in today's society.
The geographical scenery, cultural landscape and life phenomena in Shan Hai Jing enlighten the origin of surname geomantic omen and look for ancestors' genetic genes. The idea of heaven and man in Zhouyi develops life wisdom, and expounds the holographic combination theory of material energy field and space-time information field. The meridians and treatments in Huangdi Neijing are also called "Three Ancient Wonders".
