First of all, it is the first classic of TCM theory and is recognized as the foundation stone of TCM. As an academic system, Chinese medicine began in Huangdi Neijing.
This book systematically tells the principles and methods of human physiology, pathology, disease and treatment for the first time, which protects our Chinese nation, makes it endless, overcomes diseases and disasters, and makes great contributions to human health.
Secondly, Huangdi Neijing is also the first book of health preservation.
It not only talks about how to treat a disease, but also how not to get sick. This is also a very important idea in Huangdi Neijing-"treat before you get sick".
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. "
"Treating the disease before it happens" means that if a person's liver has a problem, don't blindly treat the liver, but also start with other organs that are not sick.
Liver belongs to wood, kidney belongs to water, aquatic wood; Heart is like fire, wood makes a fire. Therefore, we should also start with the kidney and heart.
And "if you don't treat it, you will treat it in disorder" involves the third aspect of Huangdi Neijing. Is an encyclopedia about life, with life as the center, including medicine, astronomy, geography, psychology, sociology, philosophy, history and so on. This is an encyclopedia about life problems.
From a philosophical point of view, it is a bit dialectical, that is, if a person faces many problems and causes chaos, he should not blindly solve the current chaos, but start with the causes and consequences of the chaos, that is, simply solve the front and back, and the contradiction in the middle may be solved.
Because when studying this wonderful book, we should cultivate more inward observation of ourselves and learn to control our own selfish desires, so as to know ourselves more deeply and care for ourselves.
