Huangdi Neijing was written in the Qin and Han Dynasties 2000 years ago. Its extensive and profound scientific exposition not only involves medicine, but also includes 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 Chinese ancestors in Huangdi Neijing revealed many achievements that modern science tried to prove or will prove as early as 2000 years ago. Zhang Zhongjing, Hua Tuo, Sun Simiao and Li Shizhen, the most famous doctors in ancient China, were deeply influenced by the thought of Huangdi Neijing. They all studied hard and absorbed its essence, becoming a generation of famous doctors in China history.
Huangdi Neijing, original 18. Among them, 9 volumes are called "Su Wen"; The other nine volumes have no titles. They were called Jiujuan or Needle Sutra in the Han and Jin Dynasties, and were called Lingshu after the Tang Dynasty. They were not written by one person at a time, but mainly formed from the Warring States to the Eastern Han Dynasty. Each part is 8 1, *** 162. Su Wen mainly discusses the changing law of nature and the relationship between man and nature. The core content of Lingshu is the theory of zang-fu organs and meridians. The content is very extensive, including physiology, pathology, anatomy, diagnosis and treatment of diseases, preventive medicine ideas and so on.
Huangdi Neijing is a comprehensive work integrating medical theory, medical theory and medical prescription. In the form of dialogue, it expounds important medical theories in the form of questions and answers between Huangdi and Qi Baishi, a famous ancient medical prophet. This book gathered the strength of many people and took decades to complete. It can be said that it brought together the excellent theories of traditional Chinese medicine at that time. Since then, Huangdi Neijing has been regarded as the supreme classic by doctors of past dynasties. It has become the "foundation of establishing medicine" that Chinese medicine cannot deviate from since ancient times. According to research, because the academic atmosphere was active at that time. Many insightful people turn to writing to write their own opinions. In the medical field, there are many insightful medical scientists who have written works such as Huangdi Neijing, Huangdi Waijing, Bian Que Neijing, Bian Que Waijing, Bai Neijing, Bai Waijing and Bian Pian, which are very complete and insightful medical collections, although they are also influenced by Confucianism, Taoism and Yin and Yang. Therefore. The appearance of these medical classics indicates that the theory of traditional Chinese medicine has been basically improved, and a self-contained theoretical system of traditional Chinese medicine has been formed since then. Due to historical reasons, only one Huangdi Neijing can be seen, and the other six works have been lost, but judging from its content and achievements, it is really extraordinary. It is hard to imagine that such a rich knowledge and complete theoretical system only accounted for one-seventh of the medical theoretical works of the same level at that time, and the rich heritage of Chinese medicine was amazing.
The basic theory of the theory of Yin-Yang and Five Elements in Huangdi's Neijing. Yin is first used to cooperate with the five internal organs of the human body, the liver belongs to wood, the heart belongs to fire, the spleen belongs to soil, the lung belongs to gold, and the kidney belongs to water. The relationship between one of the five internal organs and the other four internal organs is to simulate the relationship between one of the five elements and the other four internal organs. For example, the relationship between liver and heart, spleen, lung and kidney. It is to compare the relationship between wood and fire, earth, gold and water. The theory of five elements holds that wood, fire, earth, gold and water promote each other, that is, the so-called "coexistence of five elements"; At the same time, it also has the function of mutual restriction, that is, the so-called "five elements of mutual restraint." Its application in China ancient medicine is to explain the relationship between human internal organs. When the physiological state is normal, it is a regular activity; When in a pathological state, it destroys the normal regularity. Therefore, based on the theory of Yin-Yang and Five Elements, it became a concept to demonstrate the relationship between things, with spontaneous dialectical thought, and it was a simple materialistic philosophy of ancient medicine in China.
Huangdi Neijing pays attention to the whole concept in the understanding and treatment of diseases, emphasizing that the human body itself is a whole, and people are closely related to the natural environment. This is the ideological principle that Huangdi Neijing carries out when discussing various problems of life and disease. Its characteristic is that it does not pay attention to the internal structure of the human body, but emphasizes the functional connection. Specifically, man and nature are unified; The human body itself is unified; Man's body and mind are unified; Man and society are unified. Emphasize the influence and prevention of mental and social factors on human body and diseases, and oppose superstition. A comprehensive summary of medical achievements before Qin and Han Dynasties marks the development of China medicine to the stage of theoretical summary.
Huangdi Neijing also highlights the importance attached to zang-fu organs and meridians in medical achievements. Huangdi Neijing holds that internal organs are important organs to maintain human life. And the internal organs and organs of the human body are connected with various functions of the human body. Advocate human anatomy. It also points out the trend of human meridians and the correlation of their organs. In this way, in the analysis of human physiology, pathology and diagnosis and treatment of major diseases. It has been given a special meaning. The theory of zang-fu organs and meridians discussed in Neijing constitutes the core content of the basic theory of traditional Chinese medicine, and it is also the most important theoretical basis for syndrome differentiation and treatment of traditional Chinese medicine.
The thought of preventive medicine is also involved in Huangdi Neijing. "Soul Pivot Ben Shen Pian" records that "therefore, the health of the wise must conform to the four seasons and be suitable for cold and summer ..." It is said that knowledgeable people must follow the four seasons in order to prolong life and avoid aging.
In a word, Huangdi Neijing comprehensively summarized the medical achievements before Qin and Han Dynasties, and provided theoretical guidance for the development of TCM in later generations. Elaborated in detail the pathogenic factors, diagnostic methods, prevention and health preservation of traditional Chinese medicine, which is a great feat in the history of traditional Chinese medicine with hundreds of thousands of words. For all those who study and study Chinese medicine, it is not only a necessary guide stone for beginners, but also a medical treasure book with important guiding significance for the theory and clinic of Chinese medicine. The appearance of Huangdi Neijing marks that Chinese medicine has entered the stage of systematic theoretical summary, which has far-reaching influence. The academic thought of Huangdi Neijing was absorbed by famous doctors in the past dynasties in theory and practice.
