The Emperor's Shou and What are the earliest medical classics in China.

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).

Based on Huang theory, the theories of Yin and Yang, five elements, pulse condition, meridians, etiology and pathogenesis, diagnosis, treatment, health preservation and luck in traditional Chinese medicine are established, and medicine is discussed from a holistic perspective.

Extended data

Su Wen emphasizes the basic theories of human physiology, pathology, disease treatment, health preservation and disease prevention, and the relationship between man and nature. Lingshu focuses on human anatomy, viscera, meridians and acupoints.

This book contains a lot of knowledge about philosophy, humanities, astronomy, geography and so on. However, it obviously focuses on medical content, and the contents of other disciplines also serve its medical theory, so it should belong to medical theory works, which is the summary of medical achievements at that time, the theoretical source of traditional Chinese medicine, and the symbol that medicine began to separate from philosophy and other disciplines.
