Huangdi Neijing comprehensively summarizes my country's medical achievements before the Qin and Han Dynasties. It is a collection of early medical papers in my country with very rich content. Under the guidance of a simple materialist perspective, it comprehensively elaborates on man and nature, human anatomy, physiology, pathology, diagnosis, treatment, disease prevention, health care and other aspects. The specific performance is:

1. Focus on the concept of holism
   1. The human body itself is a whole: Neijing Treat people and various parts as an organic whole.
   2. Man, heaven, earth, and nature are also a whole: Neijing places great emphasis on the close connection between man, heaven, earth, and nature, and believes that man must be unified with nature.
2. Use the yin-yang five elements theory
   1. Introduce the yin-yang five elements doctrine system into the medical field.
   2. The specific application of the yin-yang five elements theory in Neijing: Neijing attaches great importance to the yin-yang five elements theory, which unifies the opposites of yin-yang as Wan Shi The universal law of all things. Human physiological and pathological changes are no exception. If people want to live a long and healthy life, they must also obey the changing laws of yin-yang. Neijing believes that the human body itself is the unity of opposites of yin and yang, and there is also an interdependence, mutual growth and decline, and mutual transformation relationship between yin and yang. Under normal physiological conditions, the human body's yin-yang is balanced. If this balance is destroyed, the human body will become ill. The purpose of treatment is to adjust yin-yang and restore the human body to a healthy state of "Yin Ping Yang Secret". At the same time, Neijing attaches great importance to the five elements theory. Use the different attributes of the five elements of metal, wood, water, fire and earth to analyze human physiological and pathological phenomena. According to the relationship between the five elements, it is believed that the human zang-fu organ is also interdependent, restricts each other and maintains a dynamic balance. "Excessive" and "deficient" will destroy this balance and lead to human disease. Treatment is about adjusting this balance.
3. Pay attention to zang-fu organ meridian and collateral theory
   1. About zang-fu organ theory: Neijing believes that five zang-organs and six fu-organs are important organs that maintain human life. The zang-fu organ mentioned by Neijing is not only an anatomical concept, but more importantly, a functional system concept. zang-fu Each organ has its own function, performs its duties, and cooperates with each other. In particular, the five zang-organs have the role of dominating life and spiritual activities.
   2. About meridian and collateral theory: Neijing records the routes of twelve meridians, the zang-fu organs they contacted, their main diseases, diagnosis and treatment, etc. It is believed that meridian and collateral are pathways that circulate Qi and blood in human body physiology to communicate with zang-fu organs and internal and external tissues and organs. They are also responsible for transmitting pathogenic factors pathologically and exerting medicinal properties and acupuncture in treatment. and moxibustion pathways.
4. Emphasis on spiritual factors and social factors Neijing believes that five zang-organs essential qi are the material basis for emotion and activity. If the five zang-organs are sick, abnormal emotions will appear. At the same time, the impact of mental factors on human health is emphasized. If emotions and thoughts are excessive and out of regulation, physical health will also be damaged. Therefore Neijing emphasizes that doctors must take social and mental factors into consideration when diagnosing diseases. In treatment, in addition to medication, acupuncture and moxibustion therapy, psychological therapy is also used.
5. Pay attention to disease prevention and oppose superstition in ghosts and gods Neijing attaches great importance to disease prevention and advocates individual health care methods. Doctors are required to "treat the disease before it occurs" and nip it in the bud. Neijing said: "Those who are obsessed with ghosts and gods cannot talk about virtue." He believes that medicine and superstition are incompatible, and it is difficult to talk about medicine with those who believe in ghosts and gods.

In short, Neijing pays attention to both the concept of holism and syndrome differentiation and treatment. It is the foundation work of the basic theory of Chinese medicine. After Neijing came out, doctors of all ages have regarded it as a must-read textbook, and medical works of all ages have found their theoretical origins in Neijing. Neijing is not only valued by domestic doctors, but also has great international influence. For example, in history, Japan, North Korea and other countries once listed Neijing as a must-read book for doctors. Parts of Neijing have been translated into Japanese, English, German, French and other languages. Some foreign acupuncture and moxibustion organizations also list Neijing as a must-read reference book for acupuncture and moxibustion physicians.
