The teaching of Confucius by DONG Zhong-shu in the Han Dynasty influenced the ancient Chinese medical text "NEI JING" in several ways. It emphasized the connection between humans and nature, respect for the king, and following natural principles. This teaching led to the completion of the main ideas in "NEI JING" and influenced the development of Traditional Chinese Medicine. The theory that the king is central in society impacted the formation of key concepts in Chinese medicine. This shows how cultural beliefs can shape different fields of knowledge.
