Qi Bo
The name Qi Bo (Chinese岐 伯, Pinyin Qibo ) means " Great Sage " and refers to a mythical doctor of Chinese early days.
Classic of the Yellow Emperor
From Qi Bo (岐 伯) (黄帝内经) is reported in the Huang Di Nei Jing, the " Classic of the Yellow Emperor ." This work is considered one of the oldest books and is dated to about 2698-2598 BC The content is about a dialogue in the form of a question-answer dialogue where Huang Di (黄帝) taught by his wise teacher Qi Bo is mainly about the laws of nature between man and nature, man and heaven and how to bring all the forces together in harmony. These questions and insights form the foundation of the basic philosophy of the original Chinese Medicine.
Qi Bo and Huang Di - - By the term " Huang Qi " (Chinese岐黄, Pinyin Qi Huang ) both personalities are addressed :岐(伯)黄(帝). In Rüdenberg / rod p.142 under entry no. 1780 found the following translation: The ancestor of the chines. Medicine: "Disciples of Aesculapius ."
Unlike Huang Di, there are currently no reliable historical evidence that the person Qi Bo would actually be real. Except in this work, no other sources are known, which refer to Qi Bo reference. Interestingly, therefore, are the traditions of the Wu family. Here is namely reported that over time the chapter number 37, the " Huang Di Wai Jing " (Wai Jing means " outside " - Nei Jing means " inside " ) was lost. Already in the version of the Han Dynasty about 2,200 years ago was this before no more. Was carried out: - It is conceivable that it had fallen to censorship and the largest book burning of Chinese history prey to the ( " In the beginning, standing first God - Emperor of Qin " mutatis mutandis important谁 像 上帝) on the orders of Qin Shi Huang Di would to definitively eliminate the knowledge of the "Old heaven" and let the history of mankind start over at zero.
The traditions of the Wu family report that this has been lost chapter the life stories of Lei Shen ( god of thunder ), Yu Shen were listed ( the Jade God ), Huang Di (黄帝) and Qi Bo (岐 伯). It should also emerge from these records that Huang Di and his alleged master Qi Bo (岐 伯) would be one and the same person in truth. The dialogue in the classic in the form of two personalities should be illustrative only for learners, by the relationships and principles were set out in a question -and-answer constellation.
Furthermore, it should be pointed out in this missing chapter that Master Qi Bo (岐 伯) and Shennong one and the same person. This can very well understand when considering the life history of both personalities considers itself which has striking parallels.
