Those who were granted the mandate to rule had the responsibility to uphold it with integrity and honor. Thus it was their sacred duty to rule with kindness and justice.

The most famous book by the Duke of Chou is ''The Yellow Emperor’s Classic of Internal Medicine''—the oldest known book on medicine in the world. It deals with anatomy and the causes, diagnoses and treatments of diseases. It describes the transformation of energy from yin to yang and back to yin in five stages through the fire, earth, metal, water and tree. Through this circle every organ in our body has its own characteristics, according to the stage of energy by which it is created and the energy that flows through it. These characteristics are expressed physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually. The principles in this book have become the foundation of the macrobiotic diet. | The most famous book by the Duke of Chou is ''The Yellow Emperor’s Classic of Internal Medicine''—the oldest known book on medicine in the world.
