Li Shizhen's anecdotes and allusions.
Taste all the herbs
In the thirty-first year of Jiajing in the Ming Dynasty (1552), Li Shizhen, 34, started to rebuild his own herbs as planned. Due to full preparation, the beginning was smooth, but after writing here, the problem came: the so-called materia medica is synonymous with ancient pharmacology. It includes many plants, animals and mineral medicines, such as flowers, fruits and trees, birds, animals, fish and insects, lead, tin, sulfur and mercury.
Because most of them are plants, which can be said to be botanical, people directly call drugs "materia medica". Shennong Herbal Classic was written in the Eastern Han Dynasty. During the 400 years before Li Shizhen's birth, many monographs were published by physicians in past dynasties, but there was never a summary book that could summarize the new progress of pharmacology in this period.
Li Shizhen realized its weight, but he still didn't expect that drugs were so diverse that it was difficult to know their personalities, habits and growth like the back of his hand. For example, Agkistrodon, together with bamboo leaves and mugwort leaves, is one of the three specialties in qi zhou, which can be used to treat diseases such as wind arthralgia, convulsion and tinea, and is a valuable medicinal material.
Li Shizhen once followed the snake catcher up the mountain and caught a white snake. Take a closer look and it's exactly the same as what the book says.
