Chapter 1        The Universal Truth

In ancient times, the Yellow Emperor was a born spirit, even as a baby at a very early age he could talk about things around him, as a kid,  he could compete with any grow-ups in wisdom and strategies. After he grew up, he was sincere, wise, honest and compassionate. He was developed as a natural leader and become the Son of the Heaven – the Emperor.

He raised the question to the Heavenly Teacher “I’ver heard that in the days of old everyone lived one hundred years without showing the usual signs of aging. In our time, however, people age prematurely, living only fifty years. Is this due to a change in the environment, or is it because people have lost the correct way of life ? ” 

Comments:
The question that Yellow Emperor asked 5000 thousands of years ago, today, I, Jirong Zhang, a Chinese Medicine practitioner, acupuncturist , herbalist , will also ask the same questions. Everyone in the modern world, I believe will ask the same questions.

Fortunately - When the right questions are asked, the right answers will come. In my next post, we will hear the answers from QiBo, the heavenly teacher who was then the minister of health for the Yellow Emperor.
