Huangdi Neijing is one of the four classic works of Chinese traditional medicine (Huangdi Neijing, Difficult Classic, Treatise on Febrile Diseases and Shennong Herbal Classic), and it is 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. There are props of the same name in Fantasy Westward Journey.
1. Huangdi Neijing (ancient book)
Huangdi Neijing, compiled before the Spring and Autumn Period, is the earliest extant monograph of TCM theory in China. It has a unique position in the classics of Chinese studies and is the only book named after the holy king. It summarizes the medical experience and academic theories in the Spring and Autumn Period and before the Spring and Autumn Period, absorbs astronomy, calendar, biology, geography, anthropology and psychology before the Spring and Autumn Period, and comprehensively expounds the diagnosis, treatment and prevention of human anatomy, physiology, pathology and diseases by using the theory of yin and yang and the five elements of harmony between man and nature, thus establishing the uniqueness of traditional Chinese medicine. 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.
Huangdi Neijing is a theoretical classic of China's early medicine. Referred to as Neijing. It was first seen in Liu Xin's Seven Laws and Ban Gu's Han Shu Yi Wen Zhi, the original volume 18. Zhang Zhongjing, a medical sage, "With plain questions, nine volumes and eighty-one are difficult to discuss typhoid fever and miscellaneous diseases". When Huangfu Mi wrote Classic A and B of Acupuncture in Jin Dynasty, he said that "there are nine volumes of classic acupuncture, nine volumes of plain questions and two hundred and ninety-eight volumes, namely" Neijing ",and nine volumes are called" Lingshu "in Tang Wangbing. In Song Dynasty, Songshi presented and published Lingshu Jing. Therefore, Jiujuan, Needle Sutra and Lingshu are actually more than one book. After the Song Dynasty, Su Wen and Ling Shu became two major parts of Huangdi Neijing. 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.
2. One of China's "Three Wonders"
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 to avoid getting sick and how to make us live a healthy and long life without taking medicine. 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, it is to solve the front and back ends, and the trouble in the middle does 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. Now, 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.
3. Details
Huangdi Neijing includes Suwen 8 1 and Lingshu 8 1, each with 9 volumes. It made a systematic theoretical summary and understanding from the aspects of yin and yang, five elements, correspondence between man and nature, five movements and six qi, viscera and meridians, pathogenesis, diagnosis, treatment principles, acupuncture and other aspects, combined with the achievements of philosophy and natural science at that time. It still has guiding significance in diagnosis and treatment. Huangdi Neijing was written in the Spring and Autumn Period. Her scientific exposition is extensive and profound, involving not only medicine, but also various scientific achievements made by mankind such as astronomy, geography, philosophy, anthropology, sociology, military science, mathematics and ecology. Surprisingly, some profound and incisive expositions made by China ancestors in Neijing have revealed many achievements that modern science is trying to prove and will prove as early as the Spring and Autumn Period. Zhang Zhongjing, Hua Tuo, Sun Simiao and Li Shizhen, the most famous doctors in ancient China, were deeply influenced by the thought of Neijing. They all studied hard and learned its essence, and eventually became a generation of famous doctors in the history of China.
4. The Yellow Emperor's Canon of Su Wenxu.
Qi's founder wrote that it is impossible for a husband to solve problems, to guide the spirit with all reason, to save Renshou Li Yuan, and to help the inferior to live in peace. Kong Anguo prefaced The Book of History by saying: The books of Fuxi, Shennong and Huangdi are collectively called the Three Graves, also known as the Avenue of Words. Ban Gu's History of Hanshu, Arts and Literature goes: The Yellow Emperor's Internal Classic, 18 volumes. Su Wen is the nine volumes of his classics and the nine volumes of Lingshu, which is the number. Although it has been moved from generation to generation for many years, teaching still exists, fearing that it is not the person, but sometimes it is hidden. So the seventy-first volume, which was hidden by the teacher's house, is sought after by people today, and it is only eight volumes. However, his prose is simple, rich in meaning, philosophical and rational, and far-reaching in interest. It is divided into the image of heaven and earth, the order of yin and yang, the cause of change, the omen of life and death, and there is no plan for the same relic. I will not ask you out, check your words and your trip. Honesty can be described as the origin of Taoism and the beginning of life. If the secret is issued quickly, it will be mysterious. Although success is based on knowledge, the standard is also based on training. Nothing can be done or produced. But if you deliberately study the essence, explore the hidden, or know the true meaning, you will have no eyes, so you will be moved successfully, you will be praised by ghosts and gods, and you will be a great person. Zhou has Qin Gong, Wei has Zhang Gong and Hua Gong, each with his own unique way. It's also a festival that the new use of the fairy field greatly helps to steam people, and Hua Ye is proud, truthful and secretive. When the ice is weak, I yearn for Taoism and keep in good health. Fortunately, when I met the true sutra, it was a turtle mirror. However, Shi Xiong is better than Ying, and the articles overlap, which is neither fish nor fowl before nor after. It is difficult to implement and put aside for a while, and the years have flooded and attacked it. Or reissue it, not twice; Or both theories are swallowed up, all for one eye; Or ask and answer, don't build a topic; Or take off the simple book, but the cloud valve. Emphasis should be placed on "combining the classics", "taking the appropriate prescription" as the effective rule, "separating the virtual from the real" as the "inverse obedience", "combining the classics" and "supreme teaching" to withdraw the "first needle", and so on. And will be promoted to Daiyue, not to transport Wei, to help mulberry, there is no boat. He is a diligent and knowledgeable person, and he has a real person. Twelve years later, Zhen Fang has been thinking about the reasons, seeking gains and losses, and deeply regrets it. At that time, Yu Xiansheng lent Guo Zi to the church and got a secret copy of Zhang Gong, a former teacher. Clear pronunciation and mellow voice, meaning in the week. Once explained in detail, doubts were eliminated. I am afraid that I will be scattered in my study and never have a teacher. Therefore, I will write notes and use them to spread immortality. It is also an old volume, with a total of 8 1 24 volumes, which is a book. Ji Ping studied the beginning and end, searched for classics, developed children's enlightenment and preached the truth. Among them, those who are simply out of touch and have different meanings search through the classics and migrate to make up for them. If the topic is missing and the matter is unknown, measure its interest and add words to clarify its meaning. On annexation, the meaning is irrelevant, and those who miss the name are divided. Excuse me, sir, those who are rude will be honored and rewarded. Those who are scattered and concise, overlap before and after, elaborate their meaning, and cut away the complexity to keep their essence. If it is difficult to explain the secret in detail, don't write (Zhu Xuan) and use Chen Qi's way. All the words added are written in bamboo, so that they can be separated in ancient times and the words will not be mixed.

5. Value contribution
Huangdi Neijing, as the theoretical basis and essence of traditional Chinese medicine, has played an important role in the prosperous history of the Chinese nation for nearly two thousand years. Imagine that about 700 years ago, a plague broke out in Europe, and a quarter of Europeans lost their precious lives. Although there was a plague epidemic in China for nearly 2000 years, there was never a painful record like that in Europe, so the role of TCM and Neijing can be fully demonstrated. The completion of Huangdi Neijing marks a new stage of China medicine from empirical medicine to theoretical medicine. Huangdi Neijing summarized the medical achievements before the Warring States Period and provided theoretical guidance for the medical development of China after the Warring States Period. It has laid a theoretical foundation for traditional Chinese medicine in the aspects of holistic view, contradictory view, meridian science, viscera imaging, etiology and pathogenesis, health care and preventive medicine, diagnosis and treatment principles, and has far-reaching influence. Most of the innovations and achievements of famous doctors in theory and practice are closely related to Huangdi Neijing.
Legend of Huangdi Neijing
18 volumes of Huangdi Neijing are from ancient times to the present, while 37 volumes of Huangdi Neijing may be lost forever. However, the folklore about it is quite rich and interesting. According to legend, there were three famous doctors during the Huangdi period. Besides Lei Gong and Qi Bo, Yu Yun is the most famous. His medical skill is very clever. Especially in surgery. It is said that he generally does not need soup, needles and massage to treat diseases. However, after the diagnosis of the cause is clear, unless you want to have an operation, you will cut the skin with a knife, dissect the muscle and ligate it. Legend has it that once, when Yu Yu was crossing the river, she found a woman who fell into the water and was salvaged and buried by several people. Yu Yu stopped them from asking how long the victim had been in the water. The man who carried the body said that he had just fallen into the water and died after being fished out. Yu Yu asked them to put the body on the ground. First, they felt the pulse of the deceased, and then looked into the eyes of the deceased. Then they asked someone to find a straw rope, tied the dead man's feet and hung them upside down from the tree. At first, everyone didn't understand why Yu did it. As soon as the deceased was hoisted, he spit out water until he stopped spitting. Yu Yu told people to untie the dead slowly, put his back on the ground, and put his hands on his chest. Finally, he pulled out some of his own hair and observed it on the nostril of the deceased for a while. He found that his head started slowly, and then confidently said to the family of the deceased: "She is still alive, take it home and take good care of it!" In his later years, the Yellow Emperor sent Cang Xie, tripterygium wilfordii and Zeebe, and spent a long time sorting out medical skills and compiling them into books. However, Cang Xie died before it was made public. Later, Yu Zhi's son Yu Zhi took the book back to his father for revision. Unfortunately, the whole family was caught in a fire, and the house, medical books and their families were reduced to ashes. This may be the reason why Huangdi Neijing has not been found so far! There are eleven classic physicians recorded in Hanshu Yiwenzhi, but only one is Huangdi Neijing, and the reason remains to be verified. Among them, Huangdi Waijing was lost. According to the seven classics recorded in Han Shu Literature and Art Records, there were Huangdi Neijing, Huangdi Neijing, Bian Que Neijing, Bian Que Waijing, Bai Neijing, Bai Waijing and Bian Pian.
evaluate
Huangdi Neijing is very rich in content. Su Wen emphasizes the basic theory of human physiology, pathology, disease treatment and man and nature. Lingshu focuses on human anatomy, zang-fu organs, meridians and acupoints acupuncture. The similarity between them is a theoretical discussion of related issues, which does not involve or basically does not involve specific prescriptions and technologies for disease treatment. Therefore, it has become the theoretical source of China's medical development and the theoretical basis for physicians to discuss diseases and health. Although the theories of medical scientists are different and controversial, there are few deviations, and almost all of them seek from Neijing as the criterion of argument. This is the reason why modern people must first learn Neijing when learning Chinese medicine. Because, if you don't master the essence of Neijing, you can't understand and implement the understanding, diagnosis, treatment principles, drug selection prescriptions and so on of various clinical diseases in traditional Chinese medicine.
