Understanding Harmony: Human-Nature Relationships in the Huangdi Neijing
Journal Title: International Journal of Multidisciplinary Research and Analysis - Year 2024, Vol 7, Issue 06
Abstract
The Huangdi Neijing, revered as a foundational text in traditional Chinese medicine, represents an extensive compendium of knowledge attributed to the legendary Yellow Emperor, Huangdi. This ancient manuscript, which consists of two parts, the Suwen, and the Lingshu, is central to the medical practices developed over millennia in East Asia. It profoundly explores health's physiological and metaphysical dimensions, emphasizing the interdependent relationship between human beings and the natural environment. This article investigates how Neijing conceptualizes this relationship, using the yin-yang and the Five Elements frameworks to articulate a dynamic balance influenced by environmental factors. The investigation is framed through the microcosm-macrocosm paradigm, which posits that human health reflects the broader cosmic and ecological order. The findings highlight the historical significance of the Neijing and its contemporary relevance. By bridging ancient wisdom with modern health challenges, this analysis underscores the potential of these traditional principles to enhance modern holistic health practices and influence environmental policies, thus supporting broader societal and ecological well-being.
