The publication sparked a frenzy across the internet.
"If so many top scientists are reading it, there must be something about it. I want to buy a copy too!"
"Is this a resurgence of Eastern mysticism? Since when does science need to learn from sorcery?"
"Look! Our ancestors knew it all along! Western science is finally catching up!"
"This is China's soft power infiltration! Using ancient culture to influence Western science!"
The academic community's reaction was more complex, with some science philosophers writing articles exploring "the possibility of cross-cultural knowledge integration"; medical historians began re-evaluating the position of Chinese medicine in medical history; while conservative scientists jointly published an open letter, warning of "be wary of irrational turns in scientific research."
Several publishers announced an emergency reprint of various translations of Inner Canon of Huangdi.
