Huangdi Neijing

The Inner Classic of the Yellow Emperor
Book • 111
The Huangdi Neijing is a seminal text in Chinese medicine, composed of two main parts: the Suwen (Basic Questions) and the Lingshu (Spiritual Pivot).

It is structured as a dialogue between the Yellow Emperor and his ministers or physicians, covering topics such as the yin-yang and five phases theories, qi and blood circulation, acupuncture, and the prevention and treatment of diseases.

The text emphasizes a holistic approach to health, integrating concepts of ethics, psychology, and cosmology.

It has been a fundamental doctrinal source for Chinese medicine for over two millennia.
