Historical background

EDITOR

Origin of name

Huangdi's Inner Classic
The Book of the Han Dynasty, Literature and Art, and the Strategy of Techniques contained" Medical classics "," Classical prescription ", "immortal" and "room" four kinds of traditional Chinese medicine classics [3] "Huangdi's Internal Classic" was included in the "Medical classic".
The so-called "medical classics" is to elucidate human physiology, pathology Medical theory, diagnosis, treatment and prevention [4] . It is called "Jing" because of its importance. Ancient people called important books that had certain rules and generally had to be studied "classics", such as Confucianism. The six channels ", Lao Tzu's Tao Te Ching and the plain" Three-character classic "Wait. The reason why it is called "inner classics" is not like Wu Kun "Suwen Note" and Wang Jiuda's "Internal Cooperation Category" called "the Yin and Yang within the five", but not Zhang Jiabin The Sutra of the Class says, "The inner being is the way of life," but it is only the opposite of the outer being. This is similar to the "Korean poetry internal biography", "Korean poetry external biography", "Spring and Autumn Annals", "Spring and Autumn Annals", Zhuangzi The "Inner part" and "Outer part" of "Han Feizi" have the same meaning of "Inner reserve" and "Foreign reserve", but the "Yellow Emperor's Foreign Classics" and Bian Que and Bai's classics have been lost. [5]

Writing age

Huangdi Neijing, also known as Neijing, is one of the earliest Chinese classics and the first of the four classics of traditional Chinese medicine. Pass on as Yellow Emperor What you do is in your name. However, it is generally recognized that the book was finally formed in the Western Han Dynasty, and the author was not a single person, but was inherited and developed by the Chinese doctors Huang Lao [6] . As pointed out in "Huainan Zi · Xiuwu Training", the title of "Yellow Emperor" is intended to trace the source and worship the root, so as to explain the early development of Chinese medicine culture [8] . It was not the word of the moment, nor the hand of one man. [9]
When the Huangdi Neijing was written, the ancients had three main viewpoints:
Pre-qin period
Those who hold this view have the Jin Dynasty Huangfumi [10] Song Dynasty Linyi , high warranty [11] Let's wait. They believed that such a scientific masterpiece as the Yellow Emperor's Neijing could not be written by a sage without knowledge of wisdom, so it must have been written by the Yellow Emperor.
Warring States period
Those who hold this view have the Song Dynasty Shao Yong [12] , Cheng Hao [13] , Sima Guang [14] , Zhu Xi [15] Ming Dynasty Sang Yue , Fang Yizhi [16] Fang Xiaoru [17] Qing Dynasty Wei Litong [18] Let's wait. The main reasons are as follows: Firstly, comparing Huangdi's Neijing · Suwen with Zhou Li, which is also in the Warring States period, there are many similarities, which is sufficient to prove that the two books are works of the same era and the same ideological system; Secondly, the content of medical theory in Shiji · Bian Que Biography is similar to that in Huangdi's Neijing · Suwen, but it is much simpler and more primitive, while the content of medical theory in Shiji · Canggong Biography is more advanced than that in Huangdi's Neijing · Suwen. Huangdi's Inner Classic should be written after the Bian Que period and before the Cang Gong period, that is, the Warring States period. Finally, taking the style of "Huangdi Neijing" as an example, we can also illustrate this point: the prose of the pre-Qin Dynasty is mostly composed of rhymes, and the text of "Suwen" is especially rich in rhymes. [19]
Qing dynasty "s" A concise catalogue of the four libraries "Further affirms this statement [20] Because the Siku Quanshu had a very high status in ancient Chinese academic circles, this statement was accepted by many people.
Western Han Dynasty
Huangdi's Inner Classic
Ming Dynasty Lang Ying According to the legend that Yidi made wine in Xia Yu Dynasty and the evidence that Luo appeared in Han Dynasty, Suwen was produced in the Western Han Dynasty. [21]
Expert in modern Chinese medicine Liu Changlin [22] Wu Wending [23] This view is shared by others. The main reasons are as follows: First, the Yellow Emperor's Inner Classic has a total length of about 200,000 words, which can be said to be a great work more than 2,000 years ago. Compiling such a medical book requires a stable social environment, which needs to spend huge manpower and material resources, which was divided by seven Xiong in the years of war Warring States Period It's impossible. Only in... The Western Han Dynasty (206 B.C.) During the period, with the political stability and economic development, it provided realistic conditions for medical scientists to compile medical books. Second, the early West Han Huainan king Liu An "Huainan Zi Xiu Wu Xun" said: "secular people respect the ancient but cheap today, so for the Tao must remember Shennong, yellow Emperor and then can enter the talk." Huangdi Neijing is different from "Huangdi Neijing" in title and ideological content. Huang-lao school The close connection also provides evidence that the book can only be written in the heyday of the "Huang-Lao School" in the Western Han Dynasty. Third, Sima Qian, in the Western Han Dynasty, recorded that among the ten medical books that Chun Yuyi, a famous doctor in the early Western Han Dynasty, received from his teacher Gongcheng Yangqing, there was no Huangdi Neijing, which is enough to show that Huangdi Neijing could not have been written before the Western Han Dynasty. [19]
It can be seen from the above point of view that the ancients believed that the Huangdi Neijing was written in the Warring States period. However, it cannot be considered that all the chapters of "Su Wen" and "Spiritual Pivot" have gone to war countries. Medical scientist at the end of Yuan and the beginning of Ming Lv Fu He has expressed a pertinent opinion that the inner Scriptures are not the words of a moment, nor the hand of a single person [9] . Yao Jiheng An Examination of Ancient and Modern Counterfeit Books, A Preface to Suwen and Zhuliuo by Zhou Mu, Cheng Minzheng "Xin 'an Literature Collection: Luck", Huang Thanzeng "Wuyue Mountain People Collection · Internal Scripture Notes Preface" and others also agree with Lv Fu. [24]
A more scientific point of view is that the Huangdi Neijing was not completed by one author in a short period of time, but was assembled by multiple authors over a longer period of time:
First, the pre-Qin style has many rhymes, and some chapters in the Huangdi Neijing also have many rhymes, which may be the works of the pre-Qin period.
Huangdi's Inner Classic
Two, compared with the 1973 silk text of Mawangdui in Changsha "Foot and arm eleven Channel Moxibustion Classic", the 1972 unearthed in the Han Dynasty tomb of Wuwei in Gansu province, the 1977 unearthed in the Shuanggudui tomb of Ruyin Hou in the Western Han Dynasty "Six Wang Binpan" and "Taiyi Nine Palace", we can see that some chapters of "Lingshu" were written in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, and some were written earlier in the Western Han Dynasty. [5]
Some of the references in the Huangdi Neijing, such as the Upper and Lower Classics and Shizidu, are works of the Warring States period or even earlier.
4. "On the Total Form of Su Wen · Bao Life" A surname The term "is the name of the people in the Warring States and Qin Dynasties, and the" Su Wen · Linglan Secret Classics "in the" The official of the phase Fu "And" Governor of the state capital It was an official name that appeared in the Cao Wei period.
Five, "Ling Shu" in the individual chapters of late, such as "Yin and Yang system of Sun and moon" there is "Yin, the birth of Yang in the first month" sentence, so it can be concluded Emperor Wu of Han After the first year of the Taichu calendar (100 BC). [5]
Some chapters in Suwen use Ganzhi years, and the use of Ganzhi years is the Eastern Han Dynasty. The seventh volume of "Su Wen" has been lost for a long time, and Tang Wang Bing added "Tianyuan Ji Da", "Five Running Da", "Six micro Contents Da", "Qi Alternation Da", "Wuchang Zheng Da", "Six Yuan Zhengji Da" and "Zhizheng Da", which is actually another medical book "Yin and Yang Da". It can be concluded that it must be in the Eastern Han Dynasty Emperor Zhang of Han After the promulgation of the quarter calendar in the second year of Yuan and the second year (085); By the way it was Zhang Zhongjing Write" On Febrile and miscellaneous diseases Therefore, it must precede Zhang Zhongjing. [5]
The 72nd "On the Acupuncture of the Fa" and the 73rd "On the Disease" in "Suwen" were already unwritten when Wang Bing wrote "Suwen" Liu Wenshu When he wrote "Suwen into the style of Luck on Ao", he displayed the two pieces as "Suwen's Legacy". It can be considered that these two works are forged between Tang and Song dynasties. [5]
In summary, the Huangdi Neijing is not a book of the time, the author is not a single person. His pen should be written in the Warring States, and some of his chapters were written in the Han Dynasty. As for the supplement of Wang Bing and the attachment of Liu Wenshu, it should not be regarded as the Huangdi Neijing text, but it is also necessary to consider it as the Neijing according to custom. [5]

Biography evolution

1. Plain Question
The Yellow Emperor's Internal classics collected by Waseda University in Japan
The name "Suwen" first appeared in the Eastern Han Dynasty Zhang Zhongjing "On Typhoid and Miscellaneous Diseases, Self-Preface" : "Wrote" Su Question ", "Nine volumes", "eighty-one difficult", "Yin and Yang on", "Tyre Lu", "Medicine Record".
Lin Yi, Gao Baoheng and others' "new correction" said: people are living beings with qi shape, it is inevitable that there will be different diseases, so it is explained in the form of questions and answers, which is the original meaning of "Su Wen" [25] . Sui Dynasty Yang Shangshan It is quite insightful to collate the Neijing and call it Huangdi Neijing Taisu. [5]
"Su Wen" since the Warring States period of the book to the Qi Liang From full value The old system of nine volumes has been maintained in the preparation of "Suwen Training", but the seventh volume of "Suwen" has been lost when the whole Yuan began to write "Suwen". Wang Bing believes that it is "afraid of others and when there is a hidden, so the seventh volume of the division's hidden". Wang Bing said that he had "obtained the secret book of his master Zhang Gong", "so he wrote a note, used to transmit immortal, and the volume of the old collection, a total of eighty-one and twenty-four volumes". Because Wang Bing added seven major treatise, such as "Tianyuan Ji Da", "Wurun Da", "Six Micro Contents Da", "Qi Change Da", "Wuchang Zheng Da", "Six Yuan Zhengji Da" and "Zhzhenyao Da", and widely noted the full text of "Suwen", it was greatly expanded from the original nine volumes to 24 volumes, thus becoming the current popular "Huangdi Neijing Suwen". Of course, there are the twelve volumes of Hu's "Gulin Shu Tang" in the Yuan Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty legitimacy Fifty volumes of "Daozang" were published during the years, but its contents and titles did not change, just like Wang Bing's old works.
Ii. The Spiritual Pivot
The Spiritual Pivot was originally called the Needle Sutra. The first "Nine needles twelve original" has "first set up" needle classics ", equivalent to self-introduction. Later called the Nine Books. [26] Jin Huangfumifu is also called "needle classics", and then there is "nine vacuity" [27] Nine Spirits [28] Huangdi Needle Classics [29] isonym
Huangdi's Inner Classic
The name of "Spiritual Hub" first appeared in Wang Bing's "Suwen" preface and Wang Bing's "Suwen" notes. When Wang Bing notes "Su Wen", he has twice quoted the phrase "meridians are inside, branches and horizontal are collaterals, and collaterals are different from Sun collaterals" Treatise on the Three Parts and Nine penologies When quoted in China, it is called "Spiritual Pivot", and when quoted in "Regulating the Scriptures", it is also called "Needle Canon", and we can see that "Spiritual pivot" is "needle Canon". This is further proved by the fact that the Needle Sutra quoted in other Suwen notes is the text of the Spiritual Pivot. [5]
The evolution of the name of the Spiritual Armature is basically like this, but the meaning of its name needs to be analyzed concretely. Horse 翃 [30] and Zhang Jiabin [31] Thought it was because of the Cardinal's mystery. "Ling Shu" mainly studies acupuncture problems, so it is called "needle classics"; Because its volumes are nine volumes, it is called "Nine Volumes", and therefore has "Nine spirits" and "nine vacuity" and other names.
As for the "Lingshu", although there are "nine volumes", "nine deficiency", "nine spirits" and "needle classics" several transmission systems, but after the Sui and Tang Dynasties were lost. In Song Dynasty, Lin Yi and Gao Baoheng were unable to correct medical books because of their imperfections. The Southern Song Dynasty Shi Song Although the "Spiritual Pivot" offered is different from the "Spiritual Pivot" quoted by Wang Bing and the "Spiritual Pivot" only quoted by Wang Bing in content, it is the only version that exists in the world. The reason why Shi Song changed the "Ling Shu" into 24 volumes is just to have the same number of volumes as the "Suwen" noted by Wang Bing. Since both books were originally nine volumes, they ended up in twenty-four volumes. [5]
In the Yuan Dynasty, Hu's "Gulin Shu Tang" edition of "Ling Shu" was divided into twelve volumes, which was also matched with the twelve-volume edition of "Su Wen". As for the Ming Dynasty's Daozang edition, there are only 23 volumes instead of 50 volumes, it is because the volume of the Spiritual Shu is smaller than that of Suwen.
In short, the 24-volume version of Suwen written by Wang Bingzi is the earliest existing version corrected by the Correction Medical Book Bureau of the Northern Song Dynasty.
Shi Song's adaptation of the 24-volume "Spiritual Pivot" is the earliest and only surviving version. [5]

Academic thought

EDITOR
The Huangdi Neijing accepted the ancient Chinese materialistic philosophy of Qi monism, which regarded man as a part of the whole material world, and all things in the universe were formed by its original material "qi". Under the guidance of the concept of "man and the earth" and "corresponding to the sun and the moon", man and nature are closely linked together. [5]
First, "Qi" is the origin of all things in the universe
A surname In the Tao Te Ching, it is said: "When things are mixed, they are born first." Lonely Xi lonely Xi, independent without changing, walking around without being in danger, can be the mother of the world." The primordial matter that formed the world is thought to be the Tao of 形而上者. Song 钘 , Yin Wen This primordial substance is called "qi". Influenced by these theories, "Huangdi's Inner Classic" also believes that "qi" is the origin of all things in the universe, "too empty and boundless, Zhaojihua Yuan, ten thousand materials beginning, five fortunes ending in heaven." Before heaven and earth were formed, there was qi, which was filled with the emptiness and continued to run, and then everything in the universe came into being [96] . This is actually to reveal the natural laws of celestial evolution and biogenesis. Before the universe was formed, it was too empty. Taixu is full of the original yuan Qi, these qi is the beginning of the creation of heaven and earth. Because of the movement of Qi, since then there have been stars, seven Yao, Yin and Yang, cold and summer, there are all things. The movement of Yin-yang and five elements determines the movement and change of the earth and the occurrence and development of all things. [5]
Second, the relationship between man and nature
Huangdi Neijing holds that man and nature are closely related and corresponding, and the movement changes of nature affect human body all the time. "The Theory of the Total Form of Su Wen Bao Life" says: "Man lives by the Qi of heaven and earth, and the Fa of the four times is completed." It means that human beings, like all things in the universe, are born from the Qi of heaven and earth and grow according to the law of the four hours [97-98] . Between heaven and earth, we must rely on the movement and nourishment of Yin and Yang of heaven and earth to survive. [99]
The internal environment of the human body must be coordinated and consistent with the external environment of nature, which requires people to have a strong adaptability to nature. "Ling Shu · five 癃 body fluid difference" said: "The summer clothes are thick and open, so sweat out. ... Cold is Cou Li closed, qi wet can not, underwater stay in the bladder, it is drowning and gas." This is obviously the adaptation of water and liquid metabolism to the external environment. Human pulse is manifested as spring string, summer flood, autumn hair and winter stone, which is also due to the adaptive response of human Qi and blood to different climate changes in spring, summer, autumn and winter, so as to achieve coordination and unity with the external environment. If people violate the healthy way of spring and summer, autumn and winter harvesting, it is possible to produce lesions [100] . Even within a day, between day and night, the human body will also change with the rise and fall of the sun's qi. In case of violation Objective law Will also be damaged. [101]
The corresponding relationship between man and nature can be seen everywhere in the Huangdi Neijing. Whether it is physiology or pathology, whether it is health prevention or diagnosis and treatment, it is inseparable from the guidance of this theory.
Third, man is the unity of Yin and Yang
Man is Contradiction between Yin and Yang The unity that is determined at the beginning of life [102] . The essence coitus of the living parents, that is, the two qi coitus of Yin and Yang, forms the living body [103] . After the formation of a living body, Yin and Yang exist in it, which are the conditions for the existence of each other. Mutual contact, mutual education, mutual transformation, and mutual struggle. [104-105]
From the perspective of the organization structure of the human body, the Huangdi Neijing regards the human body as a unity of Yin and Yang opposites at all levels [106] Also, each viscera and each fu-organ are separated from Yin and Yang, so that each level, regardless of the whole and the local, organizational structure and physiological function form the unity of Yin and Yang opposites.
Fourth, the human body is the coordination of the five systems of liver, heart, spleen, lung and kidney
The five viscera mentioned in Huangdi Neijing actually refers to the five major systems with liver, heart, spleen, lung and kidney as the core. [5]
Take the heart as an example: the heart in the chest, for the sun in the Yang, through the summer qi, the Lord God, the Lord blood, the heart of the small intestine, blood, Rong color, its China in the face, Tibetan pulse, Sheshan, opening in the tongue, in the will for joy. When talking about the physiology and pathology of heart, we should at least consider the above aspects systematically so as not to lose one-sided. Therefore, each viscera is a big system, and the five systems are linked together through the meridians, qi and blood, forming a unity. These five systems also coordinate, nourish and restrain each other according to the law of five elements, and each system engages in various life activities according to its inherent law in a relatively stable state. [5]
V. View of life
Huangdi Neijing denies the existence of supernatural and superphysical gods, and recognizes that the phenomenon of life originates from the contradictory movement of life itself. It is believed that Yin and Yang are the beginning of all things [107] . For the whole biological world, it is believed that all things in heaven and earth and people are the products of the intersection of Yin and Yang. Yin-yang and the two qi are eternal movement, the basic way is to rise and fall [108] . The Inner Classic of Huangdi regards essence as the basic substance of life and the driving force of life [109] . in Spiritual Pivot and Meridians It also describes the development process of embryonic life: "People are born, first into essence, essence into brain marrow." The bones are dry, the veins are camp, the sinews are stiff, the flesh is the wall, the skin is firm and the hair is long." This understanding of the property of living matter and embryonic development is basically correct. [5]
6. Unity of form and spirit
Huangdi Neijing explains the dialectical unity of body and spirit, pointing out that spirit is unified in body and spirit is a life movement produced by body. [110]
Among the pre-Qin sons, no one had a clearer and more scientific understanding of God and the relationship between form and spirit than the Huangdi Neijing. There are many discussions on the unity of form and spirit, such as "Spiritual Pivot · Tian Nian". [111] And "Plain Question: Ancient Innocence" [112] . If the form and spirit are not unified and compatible, people will die. Such as "Vegetarian · Soup mash Li" [113] And "Plain Question · Inverse Tone" [114] . The Huangdi Neijing, a view of the unity of form and spirit, has made a great contribution to ancient Chinese philosophy.

Theoretical spirit

Huangdi inner classics and spiritual pivots
The basic theoretical spirit of Huangdi Neijing includes: holistic concept, Yin-yang five elements, Tibetan image channels and collaterals, etiology and pathogenesis, diagnosis and treatment rules, prevention and health and luck theory, etc.
The "whole concept" emphasizes that the human body itself and nature are a whole, while the structure and various parts of the human body are related to each other.
"Yin-yang and five elements" is a theory used to explain the unity of opposites between things. [5]
③ "Tibetan-like meridians" is based on the study of the viscera of the human body, Twelve meridians Physiological functions, pathological changes and their relationship are the main contents.
④ "etiology and pathogenesis" describes whether various pathogenic factors act on the human body and the internal mechanism of disease occurrence and change.
(5) "Diagnosis and treatment principles" is the basic principle of TCM to understand and treat diseases.
⑥ "Prevention and health" systematically expounds the health theory of traditional Chinese medicine, which is an important summary of the health prevention experience.
The "luck theory" studies the influence of natural climate on human physiology and pathology, and uses this as a basis to guide people to seek benefits and avoid hazards. [5]
The doctors of the past dynasties used the classification method to study the Huangdi Neijing. One of the most complicated categories is Yang Shangshan , divided into 18 categories; The simplest is Shen Youpeng , divided into 4 volumes. The understanding of each family is more consistent with the four theories of viscera (including meridians), pathogenesis, diagnosis and treatment. These four universities are said to be the main contents of the theoretical system of Huangdi Neijing. [5]

Viscera theory

The theory of viscera and meridians is a theory that studies the physiological functions of viscera and meridians, their relations with each other, their external appearances and even their relations with the external environment. [5]
The theory of zang-image is based on the five viscera, six viscera and twelve meridians [33] . Of course, the content of anatomy is far more than this, but the more important thing is that through a large number of medical practice, continuous understanding, repeated demonstration and this theory gradually enriched, and finally reached the height of clinical guidance. [5]
"Huangdi Neijing" fully realized the dialectical law of "everything inside must be formed outside", so that the theory of viscera was systematized and perfected [34] . The theory of zang-image mainly includes three parts: Zang-fu organs, meridians and spirits. The zang-fu organs are composed of five viscera, six fu-organs and extraordinary fu-organs.
The five viscera are liver, heart, spleen, lung and kidney. [35 and 36]
Six fu organs, namely gallbladder, stomach, large intestine, small intestine, bladder and three jiao. [37]
The fu-organs of strange constancy It is also a fu organ, but it is different from the usual. It refers to brain, marrow, bone, pulse, gallbladder and female cells. Here edge gall is one of the fu-organs, but also belongs to the strange constant fu-organs. [38]
Although the zang-fu organs are divided due to their different forms and functions, they are not isolated, but cooperate with each other and use each other. 39 - [40]
The meridians system can be divided into three parts: meridians, choroidal veins and acupoints [41] . There are twelve meridians: hand Taiyin lung meridian, hand Yangming large intestine meridian, foot Yangming stomach meridian, foot Taiyin spleen meridian, hand Shaoyin heart meridian, hand Sun small intestine meridian, foot Sun bladder meridian, foot Shaoyin kidney meridian, hand Jueyin pericardium meridian, hand Shaoyang Sanjiao Meridian, foot Shaoyang gallbladder meridian, foot Jueyin liver meridian. The twelve meridians are linked from end to end like a ring without end, and the circulation of meridians is repeated. It is also different from the eight odd channels of the proper channels: Du pulse, Ren pulse, Chong pulse, belt pulse, Yin Qiao pulse, Yang Qiao pulse, Yin Wei pulse, Yang Wei pulse. (Note: "The eight channels of the strange classics" one begins with the "Difficult Classics · Twenty-seven difficult")
Meridians communicating with each other are called choroidal veins. The small one is countless sun Luo; The largest one has fifteen, called fifteen choroidal veins. "Spiritual Pivot · Meridians" describes in great detail.
acupoint A place for the passage of qi, like transportation, is named after it. "Huangdi's Inner Classic" said the point, the first see "question · Qi point", goodbye in "question · Qi Fu", the two are said 365 points. In fact, "Qi Point Theory" carries 342 points, "Qi Fu Theory" carries 386 points.
Spirit is the three treasures of the human body. Essence, including essence, blood, fluid, fluid; Qi refers to Zong Qi, Rong Qi, Wei Qi; God refers to God, soul, spirit, mind and will [42] . Essence and Qi are the basic substances constituting the human body, and Qi and God are the complex functions of the human body. It can also be considered that Qi is the king of essence, essence is the house of God, and God is the use of essence. [5]

Pathogenesis theory

The theory that studies the internal mechanism of the occurrence, development, outcome and change of diseases is called the theory of pathogenesis. [5]
The contents of this doctrine include "examining the pathogenesis of disease without losing qi" and "keeping the pathogenesis of disease carefully and taking care of each of its own."
1. Etiology: There are many causes of human morbidity, which are classified into two categories in the Huangdi Neijing [43] . Wind and rain, cold and heat are really" The six evils The generalization of "; Yin and Yang and anger are" love The generalization of "; Eating place is "eating fatigue". It can be considered that this is the beginning of the three causes of later generations. [5]
2. Onset: The contrast of the forces of both sides determines the occurrence and development of the disease, which is the meaning of "healthy qi in, evil can not be done" [44] . "Suq · Ancient Naivete Theory" said that "the spirit is guarded, the disease is always safe", "Suq · Comment on fever Theory" said that "where the evil is together, its qi will be deficient", etc., all demonstrated this point [5] .
3. Pathological changes: The changes of diseases are complex, and the pathological changes summarized in the Huangdi Neijing are also multifaceted, and some are summarized from Yin and Yang [46] 45 - With external and internal induction [48] 47 - , with cold and heat induction [49 and 50] From the virtual and real and the theorist [52] 51 - The real refers to the evil qi sheng, the virtual refers to the failure of the positive qi. In a nutshell, there are those who are positive vacuity but evil reality, those who are positive vacuity but not evil reality, those who are positive vacuity but not evil reality. [5]

Diagnostic theory

The four diagnoses of observation, listening, questioning and cutting originated from Huangdi's Inner Classic. [53-54]
1. Inspection: including observation of appearance, observation of shape, tongue fur.
Look, such as "The Five Colors of the Spiritual Pivot" [55] The Spiritual Pivot · Five Readings and Five Ambassadors [56] And "The Five Colors" [57] All of these are clinically significant.
Observation of form, is to look at the human flesh and skin and infer the disease [58] In clinical practice, virtual reality is intricate Only by knowing its constant can we achieve its change. [59]
A person who discriminates tongue and fur, such as "Vegetarian · Hot Treatise" [60] A Treatise on the Thorn Fever [61] And the Spiritual Pivot. [62] Contained in, etc.
2. Smell: including sound and smell.
A sounder is someone who listens to the patient's voice and diagnoses the condition. [63-65]
The second is the smell, such as "plain question, Jinguizhen speech" said, liver disease its odor, heart disease its odor, spleen disease its odor, lung disease its smell, kidney disease its odor.
3. Consultation: inquire about the patient's self-conscious symptoms to diagnose the condition. [66-68]
4. Incision: including pulse and skin. The Huangdi Neijing is the most detailed, mainly as follows:
(1) Three parts of the nine Hou method: that is, three parts of the hands and feet, each part of heaven and earth three hou. [69]
(2) People Yingkou pulse method: that is, simultaneously diagnosing the pulse of people Yingkou and Yingkou, and comparing with each other. [70]
(3) Breath regulation method: that is, regulating the doctor's breath and diagnosing the patient's pulse. [71]
(4) called stomach qi pulse: there is no stomach qi in the pulse, it is crucial, there is stomach qi, and there is no stomach qi. [72]
(5) six classes of arteries and veins, huangdi neijing pulse condition contained a lot of, such as floating, heavy, late, number, virtual and actual, slippery, acerbity, long, short, string, thin, small, moist, soft and weak, scattered, slow, fast, dynamic, hong, v, Kou, leather, promote, knot, generation, large and small, sharp, strong, sheng, mania, disease, stroke, hook, wool, stone, camp, and so on. However, it is often summarized by the six veins. [73]
The second is the skin: skin refers to the whole body skin, according to the skin and to assist the diagnosis of a lot of content, such as "press and follow", "press and play" and so on. But the most detailed is cutting the skin [74] . Because there is a certain relationship between pulse and skin, it can also cooperate with each other when diagnosing diseases. [75]

Rule theory

The doctrine that studies the law of treatment is called the doctrine of cure.
1. Prevent small problems from spreading : including prevention before disease and prevention of disease [76] . Such as "spring and summer Yang, autumn and winter Yin" are said to prevent disease, disease early treatment to prevent its transmission [77] .
2. Depending on time, place and person:
The person who ADAPTS to the time is to warn the doctor not to commit the cold heat and cool gas of the four times. [78]
Huangdi's Inner Classic
Those who adapt to local conditions can not be generalized in treatment, and must be distinguished [79] . The "Plain Question · Different methods and appropriate theory" discusses the "one disease and different treatment" in the southeast and northwest of the local conditions are very detailed, such as the eastern region, its treatment should be stone; In the West, the cure is poison; In the north, moxibustion should be treated 祔; In the southern region, microneedles should be treated; The central area should be guided according to Cheng.
Personalization, such as "Plain Question · Five Permanent Politics" [80] And "Plain question, signs and four loss". [81]
3. The sequence of specimens: that is, the treatment is given successively according to the primary and secondary of the disease [82] . The Dafa on the successive treatment of specimens is described in detail in "Su Wen · Specimen Disease Biography".
4. Cure the disease and seek the root: This is the most fundamental rule in the Huangdi Neijing. "Plain Question · Yin and Yang should be like big Theory" said: "The cure must seek the root."
5. Take advantage of the situation: subtly change on the basis of treating the disease. [83]
6. Harmonizing Yin and Yang: This is the essence of the Dafa of healing. [84-85]
7. Positive treatment and negative treatment: Positive treatment, also known as reverse treatment, is a direct treatment against the disease. For example, "heat is cold, cold is hot, deficiency is replenished, and actual is diarrhea" and so on; Anti-treatment is also called from the treatment, such as "cold for cold use, heat for heat use, general cause, plug plug with" and so on. [86]
8. The right thing is the degree: whether it is right or dispelling evil should be moderate, especially for the syndrome of deficiency and reality, it should be prudent. Remember that "no sheng, no deficiency", even if the use of fill, can not pass. [87-88]
9. Disease is the foundation, work is the standard: "Vegetarian · Tang Liquor Theory" points out: "disease is the foundation, work is the standard." This is to say that the disease is objectively existing, is the original; Doctors know to treat disease, is the standard. The doctor must be based on the patient, so that the specimen can be recognized and the disease can be cured.
10. Treatment based on syndrome differentiation Although the Huangdi Neijing does not put forward the term "syndrome differentiation and treatment", it has the reality of syndrome differentiation and treatment. The above points all contain this meaning, and the book has zang-fu syndrome differentiation, Differentiation of channels and collaterals The connotation of syndrome differentiation of eight principles and six channels. [5]
11. Making prescriptions and dispatching medicines: Although there are not many prescriptions in Huangdi Neijing, the principles of prescriptions are already available. [89-90]
12. Acupuncture and moxibustion 祔 : "Huangdi Neijing" on the meridian, acupoints, acupuncture, moxibustion 祔 there are very many, only the method of reinforcing and draining breathing [91] Member replenishment and drainage [92] Deep and shallow tonifying and draining [93] Slow disease replenishing diarrhea [94] Supplementing and reducing with light and heavy [95] These techniques have been used by later generations. [5]

EDITOR
There are four kinds of traditional Chinese medicine books in the Book of Han Dynasty, the Book of Arts and Literature, and the Book of Formula. Except Huangdi's Internal Classic, all other medical classics have been lost. Therefore, the Huangdi Neijing has become the earliest existing traditional Chinese medicine classic.
Huangdi Neijing, as a classic of Chinese traditional culture, is not only a classic of traditional Chinese medicine, but also a profound cultural masterpiece. With life as the center, it discusses the interrelation between heaven, earth and man from a macro perspective, and discusses and analyzes the most basic proposition of medical science -- the law of life. And created the corresponding theoretical system and disease prevention principles and technologies, containing philosophy, politics, astronomy and other disciplines of rich knowledge, is an encyclopedia around the issues of life.

Traditional Chinese medicine

Huangdi's Inner Classic comprehensively summarized the medical achievements before the Qin and Han Dynasties, and its writing marks the new stage of Chinese medicine rising from empirical medicine to theoretical medicine. It summarized the medical achievements before the Warring States period in the aspects of holistic view, contradiction view, meridian, viscerology, etiology, pathogenesis, health and preventive medicine, and diagnosis and treatment principles, and provided theoretical guidance for the development of Chinese medicine after the Warring States period, laid a solid foundation, and had far-reaching influence. Most of the innovations and achievements of the famous doctors in theory and practice are closely related to the Huangdi Neijing. [5]
Wanli Huangdi internal classics question twenty-four volumes
Huangdi Neijing has a very high position in Chinese medicine, and all the doctors who have made great achievements in later generations attach great importance to this book. It has been translated into Japanese, English, German, French and other languages, and has also had a non-negligible impact on the development of world medicine [5] . The Huangdi Neijing expounds the principles of man and nature as well as physiology, anatomy, pathology, diagnosis and health prevention and treatment with simple materialism and dialectical thought. It has become the cornerstone of Chinese medicine, the source of traditional Chinese medicine theoretical system, and the basis for clinical diagnosis and treatment of various departments, and is regarded as a "classic medical book" and a must-read book for TCM learners. It is an important document for the study of traditional Chinese medicine and a valuable cultural heritage of the Chinese nation. Act as Chinese traditional medicine The theoretical and ideological basis and essence of the Han nationality in the long history of nearly two thousand years of reproduction, its leading role in medicine and contribution is indispensable. [115]
Huangdi Neijing is the source of the theory system of traditional Chinese medicine and a classic that comprehensively discusses the theory of traditional Chinese medicine work . Based on ancient anatomical knowledge and guided by ancient philosophical thoughts, it gradually developed from perceptual to rational, from fragment to synthesis through long-term observation of life phenomena and repeated verification of medical practice, and put forward many important theoretical principles and academic viewpoints [5] . It not only laid the basic framework of the theoretical system of TCM, but also provided the possibility for the continuous improvement and development of TCM in the later generations. Neijing is not only the best witness of the level of medical development at that time, but also the reliable cornerstone of the development of modern Chinese medicine research. [116]
First of all, Neijing lays the foundation for understanding human physiology, pathology, diagnosis and treatment. Its basic materials are derived from ancient Chinese people's long-term observation of life phenomena, a large number of clinical practices and simple anatomical knowledge. For example, "Drink into the stomach, overflow qi, upper transfusion in the spleen, spleen powder, upper ascribed to the lung, regulate the waterway, lower transfusion bladder." The records of "The bladder is the official of the state capital, the body fluid is stored, and the vaporization can be produced" (" The Secret Classics of the Suwen Linglan ") are the image description of the human body's water and liquid metabolism process, and have become the theoretical basis for the treatment of edema disease from the lung, spleen and kidney. The modern treatment of nephrogenic edema and cardiogenic edema usually starts with the regulation of lung, spleen and kidney, and its theoretical source is obviously from Neijing. Another example, "the change of sorghum, the foot of the big Ding, such as holding deficiency" (" plain question · Angry Tongtian "), refers to the thick taste of overeating easy to cause people to suffer from furuncle diseases. In modern clinical terms, Diabetic foot The occurrence of joint swelling and pain of gout disease are closely related to overeating, fat and sweet taste. Another example, "Why Qi Kou is only the master of the five viscera" in "Simple Question · On the Five Viscera" is the starting point of "diagnosing the pulse and obtaining the Kou Kou alone" in later generations; "Question · Wuchang Politics" in "big poison treatment, ten to its six; Often poison treatment, ten to its seven; Small poison treatment, ten to its eight; Non-toxic treatment, ten to its nine; Grain meat fruits and vegetables, eat up, do not make it, hurt it is also "exhortation, become a traditional Chinese medicine clinical prescription, health and disease prevention has always obeyed the wise words. [116]
In addition, there are many other contents related to human health in the book, involving health, prevention, acupuncture, adjustment and many other aspects, which effectively guide people's disease prevention and treatment. In particular, the idea of "treating disease" has attracted more attention and attention in the current bio-psycho-social medical model.
The theory of "Neijing" still has very important guiding significance for modern TCM clinic. Although Neijing has been written for more than 2000 years, the physiological function and pathological changes of human individuals have not changed much. According to the theory of the "Inner Classic", if the lung is the main qi, the division of breathing, the heart is storing God, the main blood, the spleen is clearing, the main transport, the liver is storing blood, the main drainage, the kidney is storing essence, the main gasification function is completely normal, a smooth flow of qi and blood, running unimpeded, the human body will not be sick. The unique perspective of health and disease prevention established by the "Neijing" determines that it has not only made great contributions to the protection of people's health and the reproduction of the Chinese nation, but also will continue to escort the cause of human health as always. [116]

Life science

Supplement to Huangdi's Internal Classics (24 volumes)
Huangdi Neijing is the first theoretical classic of traditional Chinese medicine. The formation of traditional Chinese medicine as an academic system started from the Huangdi Neijing, so the Huangdi Neijing is recognized as the foundation work of traditional Chinese medicine. [117]
The Huangdi Neijing is the first treasure book of health preservation. The Huangdi Neijing talks about how to cure diseases, but more importantly, how not to get sick, how to be healthy and live long without taking medicine. There is a very important thought in the Huangdi Neijing: "Treating diseases". "Huangdi's Internal Classic" said: "not to treat the disease to treat the disease, not to treat the disorder to treat the disorder."
The Huangdi Neijing is the first encyclopedia about life. The Huangdi Neijing focuses on life. It covers medicine, astronomy, geography, psychology, sociology, philosophy, history, etc. It is an encyclopedia about life issues. In fact, the core of Sinology is the philosophy of life. Huangdi Neijing is a great influential Sinology classic named after Huangdi. [117]

Philosophical science

Huangdi Neijing also contains a lot of philosophical science, such as the inspiration to talent management, "Huangdi Neijing" advocated the medical ethics to show the humanitarian character. [118]
Virtue, as an important category of the ancient Chinese view of nature, has been transformed into the objective law of the formation of heaven and earth and the operation of natural phenomena, and the "thick virtue" of talent is externalized into the "carrier" of talent, which is also a kind of internal and external unity conforming to the harmony of nature. The publication of Huangdi's Inner Classic made the medical ethics of traditional Chinese medicine have the earliest written expression and interpretation. "Neijing" summarized and summarized the understanding of medical ethics of the doctors at that time, formed a relatively perfect thought of medical ethics, and announced the birth of the theory of medical ethics of traditional Chinese medicine.
The thought of medical ethics in Neijing has rich connotation and extensive extension, which can be divided into four aspects: medical health morality, medical prevention morality, medical treatment morality and medical nursing morality. Human body, mind, action together constitute life, the integration of the three can make people develop harmoniously. "De" is the management of the heart, physical and mental incompatibility, and no "Fuzhengdispelling evil", the selection and appointment of talents should also follow both virtue and talent, moral first, advancing with The Times, harmonious development, which is also the standard of talent selection and appointment in modern society. [117]

Document value

The book of Huangdi Neijing is the first summary of ancient Chinese medicine, and is the only masterpiece of medicine before the Warring States period. There are about 50 kinds of ancient documents cited, 29 of which have both title and basic contents, and are entitled "Jing Yan", "Jing Treatise", "On Yan" or "So...". The so-called There are also many people who cite ancient documents in such ways without knowing their titles. These ancient documents are of great historical significance for understanding the development of Chinese medicine in the pre-Qin period. [5]

International influence

With the spread of traditional Chinese medicine in Vietnam and Vietnam's reference to traditional Chinese medicine, and thanks to the Chinese characters as the official script of ancient Vietnam, the Huangdi Neijing was introduced into Vietnam in the form of Chinese text in the Sui and Tang Dynasties. For thousands of years, the medical thought of Huangdi Neijing took root in Vietnam and had an important impact on the development of traditional medicine in Vietnam. [127]
The Huangdi Neijing has been introduced overseas since the 1920s, and there have been 18 English translations, including translation, compilation and full translation, of translators with different backgrounds, including medical historians, traditional Chinese medicine clinicians and other professionals. In 1925, German scholar Percy Millard Dawson published an introduction to Suwen in the Annals of Medical History (" Annals of Medical History "), with excerpted "Suwen" fragment "Su wen, the Basis of Chinese Medicine ", which was the first overseas translation of Neijing. After that, Ms. IlzaVeith, an American medical historian, selected The Yellow Emperor's Classic of Internal Medicine, a translation of the first 34 chapters of Su Wen, and published it in 1949, which was the first publicly published translation of Su Wen. [126]

Dialectical understanding

Huangdi Neijing only represents the level of medical theory at that time. It is a theoretical hypothesis to explain the problems of natural science based on the thinking of natural philosophy. Although many objective laws and conclusions have been found, there are also many wrong guesses. There are many concepts in Huangdi Neijing, but few definitions, which need dialectical understanding. Some of the concepts in the book have different meanings from modern ones and should be treated differently. [123]
1. Neijing is the foundation work of traditional Chinese medicine theory and a work of medical theory
The Neijing is divided into two parts: Suwen and Lingshu. "Suwen" focuses on the basic theories of human physiology, pathology, principles of disease treatment, health prevention and the relationship between man and nature. "Lingshu" lays particular stress on human anatomy, zang-fu meridians, acupuncture points and so on. The book contains a large amount of philosophy, humanities, astronomy, geography and other aspects of knowledge [124] But it is obviously based on medical content, and the content of other disciplines is also to serve its medical theory, so it should belong to the medical theory works, which is the summary of the medical achievements at that time, but also the theoretical source of traditional Chinese medicine, and the symbol of the separation of medicine from philosophy and other disciplines. [123]
2. Neijing is the collective wisdom of doctors, but it does not represent the highest theoretical level of TCM
Neijing was written in the middle and late Western Han Dynasty. It was composed of the collective wisdom of many medical scientists and philosophers at that time. It was undoubtedly advanced at that time and of great value in history. It integrates the achievements of other disciplines at that time, such as the philosophical thoughts of Yin-yang and five elements, the quiet and nihilistic Taoist view of health, etc., all represent the highest level of people's understanding of health and disease at that time. Even from today's perspective, there are still many correct conclusions in the book. It is worth noting that although the Neijing represented the highest theoretical level of medicine at that time, it did not represent the highest level of traditional Chinese medicine. In any discipline, the academic level as a whole is constantly advancing, and TCM is naturally no exception. Treating the Neijing as the Bible and using every sentence as truth or evidence is not in line with the spirit of science. [123]
3. Neijing is a theoretical hypothesis of traditional Chinese medicine, not a theoretical criterion
Although Neijing is the source of TCM theories, it has summarized and found many laws and conclusions that are in line with objective reality and have made great contributions to the development of TCM. However, it is undeniable that there are also many wrong guesses and far-fetched explanations in the book, and many theories are only hypotheses that need to be confirmed or falsified by later generations. The Neijing, written more than 2,000 years ago, was limited by the level of science and technology at that time, so it was impossible to conduct in-depth and subtle research on the essence of the human body. Instead, it could only understand the objective world from a macro perspective by comparing images with classes, that is, explaining the problems of natural science with the theories of natural philosophy. But there are certainly plenty of wrong guesses and distorted interpretations. It is not necessary or possible to regard the "Inner Classic" as a treasure book, and to produce the thought of respecting the ancient and basking in the present, we must take its essence and discard its dross.

EDITOR

Liang Quanyuan began the annotation

The Huangdi Neijing was first introduced in the Southern and Northern Dynasties when Liang Dynasty Quan Yuan. Quan's Suwen Xun Jie has been recorded in Sui Shu, old and new Tang Shu, Song History, Tongzhi and Chongwen General Head. "Sui Shu · Jing Ji Zhi" "Medical prescription category" description "Huang Di Su Wen" eight volumes, the whole Yuan notes "; The Book of the Old Tang Dynasty and the Annals of the Classics "Ming Tang Meridians" were recorded in "Huangdi Suwen" eight volumes; "New Tang Shu · Yiwen Annals" "Ming Tang Meridian category" description "Huang Di Suwen nine volumes"; "History of Song · Literature" "Medical book category" "Su Wen" eight volumes, Sui Quanyuan notes (Sui) "; Zheng Qiao of Song Dynasty recorded nine volumes of "Huang Di Su Wen" in his "Tongzhi · Yiwen Luo". Qing Qian Dongyuan and others "Chongwen General catalogue" recorded "Huangdi Suwen" eight volumes, the original interpretation, the whole Yuan Qi ". The author of the book of the Old Tang Dynasty, the Book of Classics, which has not been recorded, should be the original of the whole Yuan; The History of Song Dynasty Yi Wen Zhi mistakenly recorded the whole Yuan as Sui people. Except for the New Tang Book and Tongzhi, which are described in nine volumes, the other catalog books are described in eight volumes. By comparing the Quanyuan Starting annotation with Wang Bing's, we can see that Quanyuan starting annotation lacks the seventh volume "Seven great Treatises on Luck". Therefore, there are actually eight volumes of Suwen annotated by Quan Yuan, and the number of volumes of New Tang Book and Tongzhi is wrong.
Tongzhi has not been recorded since the whole Yuan Dynasty, so it can be seen that this book was lost after the Southern Song Dynasty, and only a few annotations were preserved in Song Linyi's Zhuangguang Buzhu Huang Di's Internal Classics Suwen. Although it is impossible to find, the annotated texts quoted by Lin Yi in Song Dynasty reflect the basic features of the early version of Suwen, and Quan Yuanqi is the first person to annotate the Huangdi Neijing. Quan Yuanqi annotated the original text of Suwen properly and elaborated the medical theory with precision. Quan's annotated text had a great influence on Yang Shangshan's later writing Taisu and Wang Bingci's annotating Suwen. However, there are still some deficiencies such as the repetition of the text and the disordered text.

Suiyang on the good annotation

In the late Sui Dynasty and early Tang Dynasty, Yang Shangshan, the imperial physician, wrote Taisu, which is the earliest compilation of Huangdi's Neijing. "The Book of the Old Tang Dynasty · Yiwen Annals" published "Huangdi's Inner Classics Taisu" 30 volumes, Yang Shangshan notes "; Yang Shangshan's notes on Huangdi's Inner Classic Taisu in 30 volumes. Yang Shangshan integrated the contents of Suwen and Lingshu into nineteen categories and thirty volumes, each category was divided into several sub-headings, and annotated after the original text. It can be seen that only three volumes of "Yellow Emperor Taisu" have survived in Song Dynasty. In the early 1990s, manuscripts of the Tang Dynasty were discovered at Renwaji Temple in Japan. In 1884, Yang Shoujing took the copy of Taisu back to China, and only 23 volumes remained, which were stored in the library of Peking University. It was later corrected by Xiao Yanping and published in Lanling Hall in 1924. After liberation, the People's Medical Publishing House photocopied and printed this work. The annotation of Su Wen started from Quan Yuan, and the annotation of Lingshu started from Yang Shangshan. Yang is good at clinical practice and has unique insights. Through the primary school, explain the meaning of the compulsory test "Shuowen Jiezi" and other books; The annotations are accurate and clear, combining the medical science with the literary science perfectly; However, the classification of content is too systematic, which is inevitably complicated.

Tang Bingzi annotated book

"Su Wen" spread to the Tang Dynasty, many mistakes, Baoying first year (762) Taifu let Wang Bing said that the old collection "Zhang Gong Secret book", to supplement this book. Wang Bing himself preface cloud: "The world is flawed, the articles overlap, before and after the non-ren, the text is suspended, the implementation is not easy, the will is also difficult, the years are flooded, and the attack becomes a fraud." Or a republication, instead of two names, or two treatises merged into one eye, or a question and answer this has been a separate tree, or no book and cloud the world... When in Guo Zizhai Hall, by the teacher Zhang Gong secret book, the text is clear, Yi Li ring week, a detailed, group doubt ice. Afraid of being separated at the end of the school and leaving the teachers, I wrote a note, used to transmit immortal, and the volume of the old collection, a total of eighty-one and twenty-four volumes, and made it into one." New Book of Tang Dynasty and Literary records "Wang Bing notes" Yellow Emperor's Internal Classics Question "24 volumes", "Song History and Literary records", "Tongzhi and Literary Lue", "Junzhai Reading records", "Zhizhai Book records", "Chongwen General Head", "Literature General Examination and Literary Classics Examination" and so on have related records. Wang Bing's main contribution is: change to fill the Que, "all the words added, all Zhu book its text, so that ancient and modern must be divided, the word is not mixed" (Wang Bing preface).
