Huangdi Neijing
The Huangdi Neijing is a classic of traditional Chinese medicine compiled during the Warring States period (475-221 B.C.). It is a comprehensive collection of ancient Chinese medical literature and an important work of natural philosophy.
The original collection consists of 18 volumes divided into two parts: Suwen and Lingshu. Suwen focuses on the theory of traditional Chinese medicine and presents and elaborates on various concepts such as yin and yang, the five elements, vital energy and wellness. Lingshu focuses on clinical diagnosis and treatment; its main discussions are on the internal organs, channels and collaterals, and acupuncture therapy.
The book, written in the form of a dialogue between Huangdi and Qibo, delves deeply into the relationship between humans and all other natural phenomena, guided by traditional Chinese philosophical concepts such as the unity of humanity and nature, the unity of form and spirit, and the balance of yin and yang. It also explores issues such as human physiology, pathology, diagnosis, and treatment of diseases.
The Huangdi Neijing is a comprehensive summary of the theoretical achievements and clinical experience in ancient Chinese medicine, representing a complete theoretical system of traditional Chinese medicine. In ancient times, it was the main text for studying traditional Chinese medicine in countries such as Japan and Korea. Even today, it remains a classic text that is essential for the study of traditional Chinese medicine. It has been translated into multiple languages, and widely circulates around the globe.
