This article aims at exploring the theoretical significance of the concept of "essence Qi" in the body-spirit structure of Huangdi Neijing. This article starts with the primitive belief on essence qi in everything to have a glimpse of the embryonic form of the thought on essence qi. Later the researcher tries to discuss the universal view and cultivation through four classic works including the Chapter Thirty-six, Thirty-seven, Thirty-eight, and Forty-nine of Guangzi, which are believed to be the important theoretical source of essence qi thought. As to the spirit-body structure of Huangdi Neijing, the researcher deliberates the theoretical meaning of essence qi via its physiological mechanism of mutual generating circle of nature and nurture, as well as its body-spirit structure with essence qi as the core concept. Finally, the article collates Laozi's chapters on "essence", and Guangzi's four chapters on the theory of essence qi as well as the health preservation thought of Huangdi Neijing, to explore the idea "The essence is authentic, within which there is the information" in the Twenty-first Chapter of Laozi, and deliberate the meaning of testable "information".
