Neijing Tu is a traditional Chinese medical illustration that dates back to ancient times. The term "Neijing Tu" translates to "Internal Classic Diagram" in English. This artwork is a visual representation of the principles outlined in the Huangdi Neijing, which is one of the fundamental texts of traditional Chinese medicine.
The Neijing Tu is a complex diagram that depicts the interconnectedness of the human body, the natural world, and the cosmos according to the principles of traditional Chinese medicine. It illustrates the flow of Qi, the vital energy that is believed to circulate through the body along specific pathways known as meridians. The diagram also includes representations of the internal organs, the five elements (wood, fire, earth, metal, water), and the yin and yang forces.
The Neijing Tu serves as a visual aid for practitioners of traditional Chinese medicine to understand the relationships between different aspects of the body and the environment. By studying this diagram, practitioners can diagnose imbalances in the body's energy flow and develop treatment plans to restore harmony and promote health.
In addition to its practical applications in traditional Chinese medicine, the Neijing Tu also holds cultural and historical significance as a representation of ancient Chinese beliefs about the nature of the human body and its connection to the universe.
