As the name implies, Huangdi Neijing originated from Xuanyuan Huangdi in ancient times. He was revered by later generations as the ancestor of China's humanities. He not only defeated Chiyou and unified the tribes at that time, but also was a rare wizard who taught people crops, built ships and cars, and had profound medical skills. Although Huangdi Neijing was written in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, it was compiled by later generations based on the dialogue between Huangdi and Qi Bo. In a sense, this medical book is the masterpiece of the Yellow Emperor.
According to historical records, Huangdi Neijing has eighteen volumes, which occupies an important position in the ancient medical history of China. Since there is Huangdi Neijing, is there Huangdi Neijing? This is true, but it is lost. It is said that it was because of a big fire that year, but the specific reason may become a mystery forever, unless we look back at the past.
The Huangdi Neijing that we are seeing now was actually written by Chen Shiduo in the Ming Dynasty. At that time, more than 4000 years had passed in the era of the Yellow Emperor. I don't know if this guy made it up by himself or really got some information, but he wrote it anyway. Let's not discuss whether his Huangdi Neijing is really what Huangdi thinks. Let's see what's inside
This book mainly expounds the yin and yang and the five elements, that is, Taoist thought. Here, we will mention light, a famous person in ancient times. It is said that Guang lives in Kongtong Mountain and is an incredible figure. In the Romance of Gods, he was a great disciple of Buddha in the early Yuan Dynasty, ranking first among the twelve golden immortals in Kunlun. According to Taoism, he came to earth as a great old gentleman during the period of the Yellow Emperor.
When the Yellow Emperor heard his name, he immediately went to visit Kongtong Mountain and wanted to ask him how to get the Tao. At this time, Guang was already 1200 years old, but the result was rejected. Visible wide is not a general willfulness. However, the Yellow Emperor did not lose heart and came back a few months later. This time, Guang was moved by the sincerity of the Yellow Emperor and told him the essence of Tao. After his inspiration, the Yellow Emperor gradually understood the meaning of Tao. Although he failed to become an immortal, he lived 100 years old.
The book "Biography of Immortals and Guang Chengzi" records: "Those who are widely successful are ancient immortals. Living in a cave in Kongtong Mountain. The Yellow Emperor smelled it and made it. " It can be inferred that Huangdi Neijing is not the same as Huangdi Neijing, and may also record the method of cultivating health. It's a pity that it has been lost. Some people say that Huangdi Neijing does not exist at all. what do you think?
