Abstract The Huangdi neijing (“The Yellow Emperor’s Esoteric Classic”), dominated by the essence of traditional Chinese thought and culture, based on the view of universe, nature and life in Yi Jing (The Book of Changes), and integrated with the basic views of the natural philosophy and life philosophy of Huang-Lao Taoism, it focuses on the change of human life and its close interaction with the change of all life in the universe, reflecting the ontological principle of “the unity between man and nature”. Specifically, the whole book is all about the fundamentals that “man and nature follow the same dao (the rule of the universe), li (principles) and xu (order), and is a systematic summary of the rich experience of traditional Chinese medical research and clinical practice experience as well as knowledge of dietetics. With knowledge of the complex and special nature of human life, it closely integrates Yin-Yang Theory (one yin and one yang, this is the dao) with the traditional Five-Element Theory, and has “Jing-Qi Theory” as the core, studying man as part of nature and universe, treating human life as a natural product and an organic part of the universe. It argues that the universe, the nature, society and every part of human life are interconnected into a complementary and interactive system, and that the inherent self-creation and self-coordination capacity of life itself is essential. It shows that traditional Chinese culture has always valued life and is rich in wisdom for life, and establishes the fundamentals of the ontology, epistemology, ethics and methodology of Chinese philosophy of life, which is of great philosophical significance.
