An integrated system, unlike any organ in the human body.

But is this the truth about meridians and acupuncture points?

In fact, there is still controversy in later generations.

After all, before this, countless human anatomy experiments by medical workers had failed to find meridians and acupuncture points for many years, which is enough to illustrate the mysterious characteristics of this "invisible human tissue".

The discovery made by the professor at Fudan University was actually just a way of analyzing the differences between the human body tissues at the meridians and acupuncture points and other places through backward reasoning. Backward deduction is indeed a research method, and it is a shortcut.

But are the conclusions drawn using this method necessarily the truth?

Wu Liang had a question mark in his heart.

He knew that as a layman, he was not qualified to question the research results of later generations of medical workers. This was a great disrespect for their efforts.

But as an archaeologist, he can raise some historical questions.

As far as he knows, "meridians and acupuncture points" first appeared in the "Lingshu" chapter of the "Huangdi Neijing", and there have been many debates since ancient times about the time when the "Huangdi Neijing" was written.

Scholars from both the Jin and Song dynasties believed that the Huangdi Neijing was so named because it must have originated from the ancient Huangdi period. What’s more, such ancient and modern scientific masterpieces could not have been written by non-sages and sages who knew all the wisdom, so they must have been written by the Yellow Emperor...

…In Wu Liang’s view, this statement is very unscientific;

The second theory is that the "Huangdi Neijing" was written during the Warring States Period, because the style and ideas in the "Huangdi Neijing" have a lot of similarities with the "Li" of Zhou during the Warring States Period, and some people combined it with some ancient books and documents before and after the Warring States Period.

By comparison, it is found that the comprehensive level of all aspects of the "Huangdi Neijing" should also belong to this time... This is a more mainstream statement, and the "Sikuquanshu" of the Qing Dynasty also endorsed this statement;

The third theory is that the "Huangdi Neijing" was written in the Western Han Dynasty, because some historical books in the Western Han Dynasty and the events recorded in them seem to set an exact time for the "Huangdi Neijing";

The fourth theory is that the "Huangdi Neijing" was not completed by one author in a short period of time, but was assembled by multiple authors across a longer period of time. It is a crowdfunded book that has been passed down from generation to generation.

It is an epic masterpiece, so many of its pages do not seem to belong to the same era, so there are those debates about time that "the public says the public is right, the wife says the wife is right".

In short.

Even at the latest, people believe that the "Huangdi Neijing" was at least written before the Western Han Dynasty.

Wu Liang couldn't help but raise a question:

Now he is in the Eastern Han Dynasty, and he thinks he has some understanding of the medical level of this period.
