我国传统医学四大经典著作是《黄帝内经》、《伤寒论》、《金匮要略》、《温病条辨》，《黄帝内经》也是第一部冠以中华民族先祖“黄帝”之名的传世巨著，是我国医学宝库中现存成书最早的一部医学典籍。是研究人的生理学、病理学、诊断学、治疗原则和药物学的医学巨著。《黄帝内经》包括《素问》八十一篇和《灵枢》八十一篇，各九卷。它分别从阴阳五行、天人相应、五运六气、脏腑经络、病机、诊法、治则、针灸等方面，结合当时哲学和自然科学的成就，作出了比较系统的理论概括和认识。迄今在诊治学上仍具有指导意义。不仅涉及医学，而且包罗天文学、地理学、哲学、人类学、社会学、军事学、数学、生态学等各项人类所获的科学成就。令人颇感惊讶的是，中华先祖们在《内经》里的一些深奥精辟的阐述，虽然早在2000年前，却揭示了许多现代科学正试图证实的与将要证实的成就。中国古代最著名的医学家张仲景、华佗、孙思邈、李时珍等均深受《内经》思想的熏陶和影响，无不刻苦研读之，深得其精要，而终成我国历史上的一代名医。
