Huangdi Neijing
Huangdi Neijing (simplified Chinese: 黄帝内经; traditional
Chinese: 黃帝內經; pinyin: Huángdì Nèijīng), also known as The
Inner Canon of Huangdi or Yellow Emperor's Inner Canon, is an
ancient Chinese medical text that has been treated as the fundamental
doctrinal source for Chinese medicine for more than two millennia.
The work posed of two texts each of eighty-one chapters or
treatises in a question-and-answer format between the mythical
Huangdi (Yellow Emperor or more correctly Yellow Thearch) and six
of his equally legendary ministers.
The first text, the Suwen (素問), also known as Basic Questions,
covers the theoretical foundation of Chinese Medicine and its
diagnostic methods. The second and generally less referred-to text, the
Lingshu (靈樞) [Spiritual Pivot], discusses acupuncture therapy in
great detail. Collectively, these two texts are known as the Neijing or
Huangdi Neijing. In practice, however, the title Neijing often refers
only to the more influential Suwen. Two other texts also carried the
prefix Huangdi neijing in their titles: the Mingtang 明堂["Hall of

The earliest mention of the Huangdi neijing was in the bibliographical chapter of the Hanshu 漢書(or Book of
Han, completed in 111 CE), next to a Huangdi waijing 黃帝外經(“Yellow Emperor’s Outer Canon”) that is now
lost. A scholar-physician called Huangfu Mi 皇甫謐(215-282 CE) was the first to claim that the Huangdi neijing
in 18 juan 卷(or volumes) that was listed in the Hanshu bibliography corresponded with two different books that
circulated in his own time: the Suwen and the Zhenjing 鍼經(“Needling Canon”), each in 9 juan.[1] Since scholars
believe that Zhenjing was one of the Lingshu's earlier titles, they agree that the Han-dynasty Huangdi neijing was
made of
