The "Huangdi Neijing" is the first classic of traditional Chinese medicine theory. The formation of traditional Chinese medicine as an academic system began with the "Huangdi Neijing", so the "Huangdi Neijing" is recognized as the foundation work of traditional Chinese medicine.

The Yellow Emperor's Internal Classic is the first health book. The Yellow Emperor's Internal Classic talks about how to cure diseases, but more importantly, how to avoid getting sick, and how to make you healthy and live long without taking medicine. The Yellow Emperor's Internal Classic has a very important idea: "Treat before you have any disease." The Yellow Emperor's Internal Classic says: "Do not cure the disease before you have not cured the disease before you have not cured the disease before you have not cured the disorder before you have not cured the disorder before you have not cured the disorder before you have not cured the disorder before you have not cured the disorder before you have not cured the disorder before you have not cured the disorder before you have not cured the disorder.

"Huangdi Neijing" is the first encyclopedia about life. "Huangdi Neijing" is centered on life and talks about medicine, astronomy, geography, psychology, sociology, philosophy, history, etc. It is an encyclopedia that revolves around the issue of life. The core of Chinese studies is actually the philosophy of life. "Huangdi Neijing" is named after Huangdi, and has a huge influence on Chinese studies classics.

Folding philosophy and science

The Yellow Emperor's Internal Classic also contains many philosophical sciences, such as the inspiration for talent management. The Yellow Emperor's Internal Classic advocates the use of medical and medical ethics to show the moral character of human beings.

Virtue, as an important category of the ancient Chinese view of nature, has finally been transformed into the objective law of forming the operation of heaven, earth, all things and natural celestial phenomena. Talents externalize the inner "virtue" into the "carrying things" of talent and learning, which is also a kind of internal and external unity that conforms to nature harmony. The publication of the "Huangdi Neijing" gave the earliest written expression and explanation of the medical ethics of traditional Chinese medicine. The "Inner Classic of Internal Medicine" summarized and summarized the understanding of medical ethics by doctors at that time, formed a relatively complete medical ethics idea, and announced the birth of the traditional Chinese medicine medical ethics theory.

The medical ethics thought in the "Inner Canon of Internal Medicine" has rich connotations and wide extensions. It can be divided into four aspects: medical health morality, medical prevention morality, medical treatment morality and medical nursing morality. The body, mind and behavior of a person together constitute life, and the integration of the three can make people develop harmoniously. "Virtue" controls the mind. If the body and mind are not in harmony, it cannot "support the right and eliminate evil". The selection and appointment of talents should also follow the principles of both moral integrity and ability, put morality first, keep pace with the times, and develop harmoniously. This is also the standard for the selection and appointment of talents in modern society.

Folding document value

The book "Huangdi Neijing" is the first summary of ancient Chinese medicine. It is the only remaining collection of medicine before the Warring States Period. There are about 50 ancient documents cited, including 29 books with titles and contents, and there are many people who quote ancient documents in "Classics and Words", "Sutras and Words", "Sounds and Words" or "So said...", "So-called..." and other methods, but they cannot know the title of the book. These ancient documents have very important historical significance for understanding the development of traditional Chinese medicine in the pre-Qin period.

Fold and edit this section of historical review

During the Northern Song Dynasty, the Goryeo Kingdom presented the "Huangdi Neijing·Lingshu" and demanded that it be exchanged for books such as history in China. Su Shi submitted five copies of the book, but the emperor still insisted on exchanged books such as "Cefu Yuangui" and "Huangdi Neijing".

In May 2011, the "Huangdi Neijing" was included in the "Memory of the World".

Nan Huaijin: "The Yellow Emperor's Internal Classic" is not just a medical book, it is a medical book that includes "medicine world, doctors, doctors, country, and society".

The Yellow Emperor's Internal Classic only represents the level of medical theory at that time. It is a theoretical hypothesis that explains natural science problems with the thinking of natural philosophy. Although many objective laws and conclusions were discovered, there were also many wrong guesses. The Yellow Emperor's Internal Classic has many concepts, but few definitions, which requires dialectical understanding; the meaning of some concepts in the book is different from that of modern times and should be treated differently.

1. The "Inner Canon of the Yellow Emperor" is the foundational work of traditional Chinese medicine theory and a medical theory work

The "Inner Canon of Internal Medicine" is divided into two parts: "Su Wen" and "Lingshu". "Su Wen" focuses on the basic theories of human physiology, pathology, disease treatment principles, health preservation, and the relationship between man and nature; "Lingshu" focuses on human anatomy, internal organs, meridians, acupoint acupuncture, etc. The book contains a lot of knowledge about philosophy, humanities, astronomy, geography, etc., but it is obviously mainly based on medical content, and the content of other disciplines also serves its medical theory, so it should be attributed to medical theoretical works, which is a summary of medical achievements at that time, and the theoretical source of traditional Chinese medicine. It is a symbol of the separation of medicine from philosophy and other disciplines.

2. The "Inner Canon of the Yellow Emperor" is the collective wisdom of doctors, but it does not represent the highest theoretical level of traditional Chinese medicine.

The "Inner Canon of Internal Medicine" was written in the middle and late Western Han Dynasty. It was created by the collective wisdom of many medical scientists and philosophers at that time. It was undoubtedly advanced at that time and had important historical value. It integrates the achievements of other disciplines of that era, such as the philosophical thoughts of Yin and Yang and Five Elements, the Taoist outlook on health care of tranquility and nothingness, and all represent the highest level of people's understanding of health and diseases at that time. Even from the current perspective, there are still many correct conclusions in the book. It is worth noting that although the "Inner Canon of Internal Medicine" represents the highest theoretical level of medicine at that time, it cannot represent the highest level of traditional Chinese medicine at present. Any discipline and academic level are constantly advancing as a whole, and traditional Chinese medicine is naturally no exception. Taking the "Inner Canon of Internal Medicine" as a Bible and using every sentence as truth or evidence is not in line with the scientific spirit.

3. The "Inner Canon of the Yellow Emperor" is a theoretical hypothesis of traditional Chinese medicine and does not represent the theoretical standard.

Although the "Inner Canon of Internal Medicine" is the source of traditional Chinese medicine theory, the book summarizes and discovers many laws and conclusions that conform to objective reality and has made great contributions to the development of traditional Chinese medicine, it is undeniable that there are also many wrong guesses and far-fetched explanations in the book. Many theories are just hypotheses that need to be confirmed or falsified in later generations. The "Inner Canon of Internal Medicine" written more than 2,000 years ago is subject to the scientific and technological level at that time. It is impossible to conduct in-depth and subtle research on the human body. It can only understand the objective world from a macro perspective and use the method of image comparison to compare and understand the objective world, that is, use the theory of natural philosophy to explain the problems of natural science. When doing this, although many objective laws and correct guesses can be found, there must be many wrong guesses and distorted explanations. Today, there are no need and cannot treat the "Inner Canon of Internal Medicine" as a treasure book, and the idea of ​​respecting the past and reducing the present must be taken and its essence must be discarded.

"Han Shu·Yiwenzhi·Preface and Art" contains four traditional Chinese medicine classics, including medical classics, classic prescriptions, gods and Fangzhong. Except for the "Huangdi Neijing", other medical classics have all been lost. Therefore, the "Huangdi Neijing" has become the earliest existing traditional Chinese medicine classics.

As a classic work of traditional Chinese culture, "Huangdi Neijing" is not only a classic traditional Chinese medicine masterpiece, but also a profound cultural masterpiece. It focuses on life and discusses the interconnection between heaven, earth and man from a macro perspective. It discusses and analyzes the most basic proposition of medical science - the laws of life, and creates a corresponding theoretical system and principles and technologies for preventing and treating diseases. It contains rich knowledge in many disciplines such as philosophy, politics, and astronomy. It is an encyclopedia that focuses on life issues.

Fold the abyss of traditional Chinese medicine

The "Huangdi Neijing" comprehensively summarizes the medical achievements before the Qin and Han Dynasties. Its creation marks the new stage of Chinese medicine from empirical medicine to theoretical medicine. It summarizes the medical achievements before the Warring States Period in various aspects such as holistic view, contradiction, meridians, mortal imagery, etiology, health and preventive medicine, and diagnostic and treatment principles, and provides theoretical guidance for the development of Chinese medicine after the Warring States Period, laying a solid foundation, and having far-reaching influence. Most of the innovations and achievements of famous doctors in the past dynasties in theory and practice have a close relationship with the "Huangdi Neijing".

The Yellow Emperor's Internal Classic has a high status in Chinese medicine. After generations, it has achieved medical practitioners, and all of them have attached great importance to this book. It has been translated into Japanese, English, Germany, and France, which has also had an unnegligible impact on the development of world medicine. The Yellow Emperor's Internal Classic has a simple materialist view and dialectical thought to explain the principles of man and nature, physiology, anatomy, pathology, diagnosis and health prevention and treatment. It has become the cornerstone of Chinese medicine, the source of the theoretical system of traditional Chinese medicine, and the basis for diagnosis and treatment of various clinical subjects. Later generations regarded it as "classic medical books" and is a must-read book for those who study traditional Chinese medicine. It is an important document for studying traditional Chinese medicine and a valuable cultural heritage of the Chinese nation. As the theoretical basis and essence of traditional Chinese medicine, its leading role and contribution in the long history of the Han people's reproduction and development for nearly two thousand years.

The Yellow Emperor's Internal Classic is the source of the theoretical system of traditional Chinese medicine and a classic work that comprehensively discusses the theory of traditional Chinese medicine. Its collection is based on ancient anatomical knowledge and guided by ancient philosophical thoughts. Through long-term observation of life phenomena and repeated verification of medical practice, it gradually develops from sensibility to rationality, from fragments to synthesis, and puts forward many important theoretical principles and academic views. It not only laid the basic framework of the theoretical system of traditional Chinese medicine, but also provides the possibility for the continuous improvement and forward development of traditional Chinese medicine in later generations. The book "Internal Classic" is not only the best witness to the level of medical development at that time, but also is also a reliable cornerstone for the research and development of modern traditional Chinese medicine.

First of all, the book "Inner Canon of Internal Medicine" laid the foundation for cognitive physiology, pathology, diagnosis and treatment of human body. Its basic materials come from the long-term observation of life phenomena by ancient Chinese people, a lot of clinical practice and simple anatomical knowledge. For example, "drinking in the stomach, swimming overflowing the essence, and infusion from the spleen, spleen qi dispersing the essence, returning to the lungs, regulating the water channel, and transporting the bladder down." ("Su Wen·Bladder·Bladder·Bladder") and "Bladder is the official of the state capital, where body fluids are stored, and qi can be released" ("Su Wen·Linglan Secret Book") records are image descriptions of the human body's water metabolism process, and become the theoretical basis for the treatment of edema from the lungs, spleen, and kidneys in later generations. Modern treatment of nephrogenic edema, cardiogenic edema mostly starts from the treatment of lungs, spleen, and kidneys. The theoretical source is obviously from the "Inner Canon of Internal Medicine"

.For example, "The changes in sorghum, the feet produce big ding, and the feeling is like keeping deficiency" (Su Wen·Theory of Sheng Qi Tongtian) means that eating too much sorg is easy to cause boils. From a modern clinical perspective, the occurrence of diabetic foot and the joint swelling and painful gout are all closely related to overeating fat, sweet and thick taste. For example, the view of "Why is Qi Gu the only master of the five internal organs" in "Su Wen·The Different Discourse on the Five Internals" is the origin of "taking the pulse of the Cunkou" in later generations; in "Su Wen·The Great Discourse on the Five Constant Political Discourse", "Treat the Great Discussion on the Big Poison, treating the Big Poison, treating the Big Poison, treating the Big Poison, treating the Big Poison, treating the Big Poison, treating the Big Poison, treating the Big Poison, treating the Big Poison, treating the Big Poison, treating the Big Poison, treating the Big Poison, treating the Big Poison, treating the Big Poison, treating the Big Poison, treating the Big Poison, treating the Big Poison, treating the Big Poison, treating the Big Poison, treating the Big Poison, treating the Big Poison, treating the Big Poison, treating the Big Poison, treating the Big Poison, treating the Big Poison, treating the Big Poison, treating the Big Poison, treating the Big Poison, treating the Big Poison, treating the Big Poison, treating the Big Poison, treating the Big Poison, treating the Big Poison, treating the Big Poison, treating the Big Poison, treating the Big Poison, treating the Big Poison, treating the Big Poison, treating the Big Poison, treating the Big Poison, treating the Big Poison, treating the Big Poison, treating the Big Poison, treating the Big Poison, treating the Big Poison, treating the Big Poison, treating the Big

In addition, there are many other contents related to human health in the book "Inner Canon of the Yellow Emperor", involving many aspects such as health preservation, prevention, acupuncture, and adjustment. To this day, it has effectively guided people's disease prevention and treatment. In particular, the idea of ​​"preventing diseases" has attracted more attention and attention from the world under the current biological-psychological-social medical model.

The theory of "The Inner Classic of Internal Medicine" is still of great significance for the clinical practice of modern Chinese medicine. Although the "The Inner Classic of Internal Medicine" has been written for more than 2,000 years, the physiological functions and pathological changes of human individuals have not changed much. According to the theory of "The Inner Classic of Internal Medicine", if the lungs control qi, breathing, the heart stores spirit, blood, spleen promotes clearance, transportation and transformation, liver stores blood, dispersing, kidneys store essence, and qi transformation, and the function of qi transformation is completely normal, and the body is smooth and flows smoothly and runs without any obstacles, the human body will not get sick. The unique perspective of health prevention and disease established in the "The Inner Classic of Internal Medicine" determines that it not only makes great contributions to protecting people's health and reproduction of the Chinese nation, but will continue to escort the cause of human health as always

The five internal organs mentioned in the Yellow Emperor's Internal Classic actually refer to the five major systems with the liver, heart, spleen, lungs and kidneys as the core.

Take the heart as an example: the heart is in the chest and is the sun in the yang. It connects to the summer qi, controls the spirit and blood. The heart combines with the small intestine, produces blood, and is prosperous and beautiful. Its beauty is on the face, hides the veins, abandons the spirit, opens the tongue, and is happy in the will. When talking about the physiology and pathology of heart-to-heart talks, at least systematically considers the above aspects so as not to lose one-sidedly. Therefore, each organ can be a large system, and the five major systems are connected together through meridians, qi and blood to form a unified unit. These five major systems are coordinated to each other according to the laws of generation, restraint and transformation of the five elements. In a relatively steady state, each system engages in various life activities according to its inherent laws.

Five, View of Life

The Yellow Emperor's Internal Classic denies the existence of supernatural and supermattered gods, and recognizes that the phenomenon of life comes from the contradictory movement of the living body itself. It believes that the yin and yang energy are the fetal beginnings of all things. For the entire biological world, it is believed that the heaven, earth, everything and man are the products of the yin and yang energy of heaven, earth, and the yin and yang energy are eternal movement, and the basic way is to rise, fall and exit. The Yellow Emperor's Internal Classic regards the essence as the basic substance that constitutes the living body and the driving force of life. In "Lingshu·Mings", it also describes the development process of embryonic life: "A person is born, first becomes essence, essence is formed, and essence is formed, and the brain marrow is born. The bones are stems, the veins are camps, the tendons are firm, the flesh is the wall, the skin is firm and the hair is long." This understanding of the properties of life matter and embryo development is basically correct. "Lingshu·Mings" also describes the development process of embryonic life: "A person is born, first becomes essence, essence is formed, and the brain marrow is born. The bones are stems, the veins are camps, the tendons are firm, the flesh is the wall, the skin is the skin, the skin is basically correct. "Lingshu·Mings" also describes the development process of embryonic life: "A person is born, first becomes essence, the essence is formed, and the brain marrow is born. The bones are stems, the veins are camps, the tendons are firm, the flesh is the wall, the skin is the skin, the skin is basically correct. "Lingshu·Mings" also describes the development process of embryonic life: "A person is born, first becomes essence, the essence is formed, and the brain marrow is born. The bones are stems, the veins are camps, the tendons are firm, the flesh is
