Why are The Classic of Mountains and Seas, The Book of Changes and Huangdi Neijing called the three wonderful books in China?

Shanhaijing, Yijing and Huangdi Neijing are called the three wonders of China, because they sum up and record the wisdom of the pre-Qin philosophers. Huangdi and Kibaki wrote it in the form of question and answer.

1820, Kyoto famous doctor Rong Tingfujing discovered the manuscript of Huangdi Taizu Jing compiled by Yang Shangshan in Tang Dynasty, which immediately caused a sensation in Japan. But why does an ancient book attract the attention of the whole society?

After the defeat of the naval battle, Lu Xiufu took the little emperor to sea and died in the Southern Song Dynasty. After the demise of the Southern Song Dynasty, the whereabouts of Tai Su, the Huangdi Neijing compiled by Yang Shangshan, was unknown and became famous all over the world. It contains all kinds of contents, which basically comes from long-term observation of life phenomena, a lot of clinical practice and simple knowledge of ancient China anatomy. Including nature, disease prevention, health care, physiology, viscera, meridians, disease syndrome, diagnosis and treatment, traditional Chinese medicine, prescription, guide, acupuncture and so on. It can be said that it is the origin of the theory of traditional Chinese medicine, and it is also the standard of doctors in past dynasties.

Tai Su in Huangdi Neijing recorded too many medical secrets that Chinese medicine had never seen before. It is understood that this book was discovered in Japan. People from all walks of life in China negotiated and copied many times, which was strongly rejected by the Japanese side. Finally, with the efforts of Yang Shoujing, a famous bibliophile in China, and his Japanese entourage, he bought a photocopy of Huangdi Neijing Tai Su in the Tang Dynasty at a price of 50 gold bars, which enabled the book to circulate in China again. These three books can be divided into: learning Yin and Yang Eight Diagrams, explaining the development law of everything in the world (Zhouyi), learning historical folklore and ancient geography (Shan Hai Jing), and learning human physiology, pathology, diagnosis, therapeutics and pharmacology (Huangdi Neijing).

Although a hundred schools of thought contend, express their opinions and argue endlessly in history, the essence of these three ancient books has never broken through in the content core, and no one can fully understand their meaning.
