Qi Bo

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The name Qi Bo ( Chinese  岐 伯 , Pinyin Qíbó ) means "great sage " and describes a mythical doctor of the early Chinese times .

Yellow Emperor's classic

Qi Bo (岐 伯) is reported in Huangdi Neijing (黄帝内经), the "classic of the Yellow Emperor". This work is considered to be one of the oldest books and is dated to around 2,698–2,598 BC. In terms of content, it is about a dialogue in the form of a question-and-answer dialogue where Huang Di (黃帝) is instructed by his wise teacher Qi Bo, above all about the natural laws between man and nature, man and heaven and how to use all forces Can bring harmony with each other. These questions and insights form the foundation of the basic philosophy of original Chinese medicine .

With the expression "Qi-Huang" ( Chinese  岐黃 , Pinyin Qí-Huáng ) both personalities - Qi Bo and Huang Di - are addressed: 岐 (伯) 黃 (帝). At Rüdenberg / Stange p. 142 under entry no. In 1780 the following translation can be found: The ancestors of the chines. Medicine: "Disciples of Aesculapse" .

In contrast to Huang Di, there is currently no historical evidence that the person Qi Bo is actually real. Besides this work, no other sources are known that refer to Qi Bo. The traditions of the Wu family are therefore interesting . Here it is reported that in the course of time, chapter number 37, "Huang Di Wai Jing" (Wai Jing means "outside" - Nei Jing means "inside") was lost. This was no longer available in the version from the Han dynasty about 2,200 years ago. It is conceivable that it fell victim to the censorship and the largest book burning in Chinese history, which was carried out on the orders of Qin Shi Huang Di (誰 像 上帝 - meaning: " First God-Emperor of Qin at the beginning ") in order to finally wipe out the knowledge of the “ Old Heaven ” and to let human history start over from scratch.

According to the traditions of the Wu family , this lost chapter contained the life stories of Lei Shen (the god of thunder ), Yu Shen (the jade god ), Huang Di (黃帝), and Qi Bo (aufgeführt 伯). It should also be clear from these records that Huang Di and his alleged master Qi Bo (wären in) are in fact one and the same person. The dialogue in the classic in the form of two personalities should only be illustrative for learners by listing the relationships and principles in a question-and-answer constellation.

Furthermore, this missing chapter should show that Master Qi Bo (岐 伯) and Shennong are one and the same person. This can be very well understood if you look at the life stories of both personalities, which show astonishing parallels.
