Viewing the meridian systems in Huangdi Neijing from unearthed medical documents
It has been five thousand years since Huangdi Neijing was born.Its research works and papers emerged endlessly.It has a long history as the ancestor of meridian medicine in later generations.However,the origin and schools of meridians are diversified,so far the most widely spread,and authoritative theory is the twelve meridians system formed by Lingshu·Meridian,which is connected with yin and yang,just like the ring without cause.Other schools of meridians are lost and buried in history because of social,political,cultural factors and so on.From the perspective of unearthed documents,combined with the text of Huangdi Neijing,this article attempts to comb out several meridian systems contained in Huangdi Neijing during the Qin and Han dynasties,such as the yin and yang meridian system,the six meridian system,the ten meridian system,and the eleven meridian system,to provide reference for the inheritance and innovation of meridian medicine.
