Who wrote Huangdi Neijing?

According to legend, it was made by the Yellow Emperor, hence its name. However, it is generally believed that this book was finally formed in the Western Han Dynasty, and the author was not a single person, but was created by Huang Lao, a doctor in China.

As pointed out in Huai nan zi xiu Wu Xun, the title of "yellow emperor" is intended to trace back to the source and worship the original, so as to illustrate the early birth of China medical culture? It is not a temporary statement, nor is it unilateral. ?

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).
