Verses from the Huangdi Neijing

The verses of the Huangdi Neijing are as follows:

Original text

In the past, Huangdi was born as a god, weak but able to speak, young and partisan, long and agile. , and ascend to heaven. He then asked the Heavenly Master: I have heard that people in ancient times were a hundred years old in the Spring and Autumn Period, but their movements did not decline, but people today are half a hundred years old, but their movements declined. Is this different in the times? Will people lose it?

Translation

On the one hand, "emotions and will" are unified, and "will" is the inner foundation. The original god said: "The heart has the meaning of the memory; the meaning of the existence is the meaning. "Zhi"; Jie Jingwei Lun said: "The essence of husband's water is Zhi", all of which emphasize that "Zhi" is the movement and transformation of inner Qi. "Emotion" is an external expression, and the two are unified under normal circumstances. On the other hand, there is still a difference between the two in detail, that is, emotion is emotion, and ambition is ambition.

Introduction

The Yellow Emperor's Internal Classic, referred to as the "Nei Jing", is the oldest and highest-status classic of traditional Chinese medicine theory in my country. It is the first of the four classics of traditional Chinese medicine ( "The Yellow Emperor's Internal Canon", "Treatise on Febrile Diseases", "Synopsis of the Golden Chamber", "Treatise on Febrile Diseases") is also the first masterpiece handed down from generation to generation to bear the name of the ancestor of the Chinese nation "Yellow Emperor". He is revered as "the founder of the Tao and the beginning of life."

The Neijing is a book that conveys the traditional philosophical thoughts and thinking methods used by people in the Han Dynasty and before, as well as the astronomy, calendar, meteorology, phenology, geography, and even sociology, psychology, and even mathematics that they had mastered at that time. It is an "encyclopedia" with life science as the main body to explore the mysteries of life and reveal the essence of life with other knowledge.

The Nei Jing theoretically establishes the "Yin-Yang and Five Elements Theory", "Pulse Theory", "Zangxiang Theory", "Meridian Theory", "Etiology Theory", "Pathogenesis Theory" and "Disease Theory" in traditional Chinese medicine. ”, “diagnosis method”, treatment and “health science”, “luck science” and other theories. Its medical theory is based on ancient Chinese philosophical theory and reflects ancient Chinese dialectical thinking of simple materialism.

The Nei Jing is a collection of ancient Chinese medical theoretical documents. It was not written at one time and was written by more than one person. The main part of it was compiled into a book in the middle and late Western Han Dynasty, and was recorded in Liu Xin's "Qi Lue" about 26 BC. However, Sima Qian's "Historical Records" records that the same medical books cited in the "Nei Jing" are not found in the "Nei Jing". It can be seen that the "Nei Jing" should have been written more than 60 years from 99 BC to 26 BC.
