Can't we just look at Huangdi's Neijing?

The reason why you can't read Huangdi Neijing casually is because the times have changed and people's consciousness has changed. Some of them look unscientific, so it is not recommended to read them casually, which will affect your current world outlook.

Huangdi Neijing is divided into Lingshu and Suwen, which is the earliest medical classic in China and one of the four classic works of traditional medicine (the other three are Difficult Classic, Treatise on Febrile Diseases and Shennong Herbal Classic).

Huangdi Neijing is a comprehensive medical work. On the basis of Huangdi's theory, it establishes the theories of Yin and Yang, Five Elements, Pulse, Zangxiang, Disease, Diagnosis, Treatment, Health Preservation, Luck, etc. It discusses medicine from a holistic perspective and presents nature, biology, psychology and luck.

The Origin of the Name of Huangdi Neijing

Ji Fanglue, a chronicle of Han Shu's literature and art, contains four Chinese medical classics: Medical Classic, Classic Prescription, Immortal and Room, among which Huangdi Neijing is included in Medical Classic. The so-called "medical classics" is a book that expounds medical theories such as human physiology, pathology, diagnosis, treatment and prevention.

It is called "Beijing" because of its importance. The ancients called important books that had certain rules and generally had to be studied "classics", such as the Confucian Six Classics, Laozi's Tao Te Ching, and the simple three-character classics.

The reason why it is called "Neijing" is not that "Yin and Yang of the five internal organs are called" internal "in Wu Kun's Su Wen Zhu and Wang Jiu's Neijing Jing Lun He", nor that "the internal is the way to deal with the world" in Zhang Jiebin's Jing Lei, but just opposite to "external".
