Huangdi Neijing was written so early, how do you know the internal organs of the human body?

Ancient witches often killed livestock or prisoners of war during sacrifices, so it is easy to understand the internal organs of the human body.

Witches have the power to explain the will of ancestors and gods, so they become the first people who do not engage in manual labor, which gives them time and energy to think, explore and accumulate some medical knowledge.

We can imagine someone being bitten by a wild animal, and the wound is festering and the pain is unbearable. If the witch finds a kind of herbal medicine to stop pus and heal wounds, then in the eyes of the ignorant ancestors, the witch naturally has incredible power and is more willing to support him with food, so that his social status will not be broken.

This is Wu's motivation to explore and accumulate medical knowledge.

Medical skills are born out of witchcraft. Today we see many primitive tribes in Africa, and there are still witch doctors. They have a high position in the tribe, and they also have magic or dance assistance when they treat patients with external application of plants or soup made from plants.

Many people attack Chinese medicine as metaphysics or witchcraft to despise the response. In fact, the traditional medicine in both the East and the West is inextricably linked with the experience and exploration of witches in ancient ancestors.
