The Secret of Three Ancient Chinese Books That Could Help the Ancients Understand the Universe and Live Longevity!

In the long history of China, there are many ancient books that are considered treasures. They not only contain the crystallization of ancient Chinese wisdom, but also contain the essence of wisdom that transcends time and space.

But among these precious ancient books , there are three ancient books that are said to be the most heaven-defying books in China. One of them can be said to be the origin of Chinese culture, with a history of more than 5,000 years. The other is an ancient medical book, known as a medical classic that can help people revive. In addition, there is also a book that is considered a holy book for "cultivators".

1. Ha Do Lac Thu - Origin of civilization

He Tu and Luo Shu are two mysterious patterns passed down from ancient China. They contain profound principles of the universe and astrology. They are called the "Cosmic Cube" and have always been regarded as the origin of Chinese civilization. He Tu and Luo Shu did not originally exist in the form of books, but appeared in the lives of ancient people in the form of patterns. Over time, these patterns were recorded by later generations and gradually developed into book form.

After Fu Xi studied the He Tu Luo Shu, he deduced the innate Bagua, which is a profound understanding of the laws of the universe and life. Thousands of years later, King Wen of Zhou calculated 64 more hexagrams based on Fu Xi's work, and formed the core of the "Book of Changes". 

The I Ching is not only the origin of Chinese culture, but also an important classic that has influenced countless philosophers and scholars in later generations. Although the form and content of the 5,000-year-old He Tu Lo Thu have changed over time, the wisdom and revelations it contains still have a profound impact on our lives today. It is not only the source of Chinese civilization, but also an important key for us to explore the mysteries of the universe and life.

2. The Book of the Underworld - The Immortal Cultivation Secret

'The Book of Hell' is one of the secrets of Taoism and is regarded as a holy book by countless practitioners. This mysterious classic, with its concise and profound language, explains all the mysteries of the world, and is said to be the secret key to immortality and sainthood. As for the origin of the 'Book of Hell' , it is said that Li Quan of the Tang Dynasty accidentally obtained it while traveling around the human world. 

Li Quan was very interested in the search for immortality since he was young, so he often traveled to famous mountains and rivers, hoping to gain the true meaning of Taoism. When he arrived at Songshan in Hukou Rock, he found a package in the cracks of a rock. Inside was an ancient book written on silk. When he read the words in the book, he could not understand the content of the book. Until later, he traveled to Lishan Mountain in Xi'an and met an old man with white hair. This old man said that the scripture in his hand was obtained by Emperor Xuanyuan from the Nine Heavens Mysterious Maiden.

Before the battle with Chi You, the Yellow Emperor climbed Mount Kunlun and asked the Nine Heavenly Goddess for advice on the art of war. As a result, Chi You was defeated. After obtaining this book, the Yellow Emperor studied it diligently and finally had the opportunity to ride a dragon into the sky. 

Although 'The Book of Hell' has only over 300 words, it contains infinite wisdom. Different people understand different principles from it. For example, someone who studies metaphysics can understand the principles of the gods and how to become immortal; someone who cares about state affairs can understand the method of enriching the country and pacifying the people, and know how to govern the country; someone with military talent can understand the art of winning with a strong army and understand how to command an army. This is the charm of 'The Book of Hell ', it can adapt to different people and different times, and bring them different enlightenments. 

Because the contents of the 'Yinfu Jing' were too difficult to read and understand, it was considered a fake book and banned throughout history. Until the 1970s, a large number of bamboo slips were excavated from the Han Dynasty tombs in Yinqueshan, Shandong Province. It took experts many years of assessment to determine the authenticity of the 'Yinfu Jing'.

3. The Yellow Emperor's Classic of Medicine - Classic of Medicine

In the history of ancient Chinese medicine, the 'Huangdi Neijing' is very famous , but few people know that there is another precious classic, the 'Huangdi Ngoai Jing' . It is said that during the time of the Yellow Emperor, there were three famous physicians, Leigong and Qibo, the most famous of whom was Yufu . 

Yufu is a person with excellent medical skills and is especially experienced in surgery. It is known that Yufu usually does not use traditional therapies such as herbal medicine, acupuncture or massage when treating patients. On the contrary, he will determine the cause of the disease through accurate diagnosis. If surgery is needed, he will directly use a knife to cut the skin, dissect the muscles, tighten the tendons, and completely remove the root cause of the disease. After such surgery, the patient can quickly return to normal mentally and physically. Therefore, people praise Yufu's medical talent as being able to bring the dead back to life.

During Yufu's final years, the Emperor sent three ministers, Cangjie, Leigong, and Qibo, who spent a long time classifying and compiling Yufu's medical skills, forming a unique classic. However, Cangjie unfortunately passed away before the book could be published. Afterwards, Yufu's son Yuzhi brought the book home and prepared to hand it over to his father for revision. Unfortunately, Yufu's family was burned down, and all the medical books and Yufu and Yuzhi's family were reduced to ashes. This may be the reason why the "Huangdi's Outer Classic" was lost and has yet to be found.
