The Yellow Emperor's Inner Canon--Chinese Classics Collection (Upgraded Edition)

"Huangdi Neijing" is referred to as "Nei Jing", which consists of two parts: "Suwen" and "Lingshu", each with eighteen volumes and 81 chapters, with a total of more than 180,000 words. "Huangdi Neijing" is the earliest extant medical classic in my country. Its name was first seen in "Hanshu·Yiwenzhi·Fangjilue". The book is written in the form of a dialogue between Huangdi and Qibo, and the authors seem to be Huangdi, Qibo and others. Its content is not limited to medicine, but is closely related to ancient Chinese philosophy, astronomy, geography and other subjects. It is a comprehensive work on philosophy and natural science. The annotator of this book selected the chapters and paragraphs that best reflect the characteristics of the academic thoughts of traditional Chinese medicine and annotated them. In the "explanation" part, he gave hints about the famous quotes in the chapters and quoted many scholars' words in the annotations to deepen the understanding of the thoughts of the "Nei Jing". The ancients said that in order to learn, you need to know how to trace the origin and seek the source. Translation is mainly literal translation, pursuing the characteristics of smoothness and conciseness. Cheng Yi, a Neo-Confucian scholar in the Northern Song Dynasty, said in the "Preface to the Book of Changes": "It depends on the person to give words to those who are told, and to get the meaning from the words." I hope that readers can use the help of annotations to enter the palace of wisdom of Chinese medical health culture.
