1. 《黄帝内经》 |
| The "Huangdi Neijing," also known as "The Inner Canon of Huangdi" or "Yellow Emperor's Inner Canon," is the earliest existing works on the theories of TCM that has been regarded as the source doctrinal for Chinese medicine for more than two millennia. The works are composed of two texts each consisted of nine volumes, or eighty-one chapters, in a question-and-answer format between the mythical Huangdi (Yellow Emperor) and a few of his equally legendary ministers. |
作为现存最早的中医理论著作，《黄帝内经》两千年多来一直被视为中医基础学说，包括两部分，各9卷、81篇，相传是神话人物黄帝与多位大臣之间的问答。 |
| The first text, the "Suwen," also known as "Basic Questions," covers the theoretical foundation of TCM and its diagnostic methods. The second text, the "Lingshu," also known as "Spiritual Pivot," discusses acupuncture therapy in great detail. |
第一部分《素问》阐释了中医的理论基础和诊法，第二部分《灵枢》则详细讨论了针灸疗法。 |
| Completed during the Spring and Autumn Period, the body of work is a systemic summary of the theories of yin-yang and the five natural elements, the adaptation of the human body to its natural surroundings, five movements and six climates, viscera and channels and collaterals, mechanism of diseases, diagnostic methods, rules of treatment and acupuncture. It covers not only medical science but also other scientific achievements of human beings in astronomy, geography, philosophy, anthropology, sociology, war strategies, mathematics and ecology, which astonishingly revealed a lot of achievements that the modern science tries to prove or is about to prove. |
《黄帝内经》成书于大约春秋时期，它分别从阴阳五行、天人相应、五运六气、脏腑经络、病机、诊法、治则、针灸等方面，做出了比较系统的理论概括。该部书不仅涉及医学，而且包罗天文学、地理学、哲学、人类学、社会学、军事学、数学、生态学等各项人类所获的科学成就，令人颇感惊讶的是，这些阐述却揭示了许多现代科学正试图证实的或将要证实的成就。 |
