Chapter 2 Shen Nong's Materia Medica

Confucians don't need to be called doctors.And the principle of knowing medicine is no better than Confucianism.In the Spring and Autumn Period, peace and slowness are the gods of doctors.It understands the changes of the Zhou Dynasty and distinguishes the righteousness of dish insects. It is also a medicine and a real Confucianism.The world talks about doctors, and Shennong must be the first to be promoted. However, if Shennong is not to travel with Taiyi, then his transmission will not be correct, and he will not be used as a whip.Visiting the Five Sacred Mountains and reading it four times.Then its knowledge is not wide, it is not based on the thousands of species that are born in the land, and it is tested whether it can be cured or not, then its karma is not divine, its transmission is not correct, and its knowledge is not wide.

The industry is not godly, and it is difficult to obtain jade, stone, grass, trees, animals, insects, fish, rice, and grain. After trying it and tasting it for yourself, it is only comparable to merchants and market peddlers.My old name is Shennong, a great Confucian through the ages, the General Catalog of Chongwen, a volume on food, and a volume on the theory of the five internal organs, all of which belong to Shennong.Its book has not been handed down for a long time, and those who hand it on, Shen Nong's Materia Medica Jing Er, and there is no special book.Collected by Shen Yuan in the Tang Dynasty, the books record and explain the problems, which is called Daguan Materia Medica, and the book records are called Zhenglei Materia Medica.

Later, Miao Xiyong made some comments, and Lu Zhiyi wrote half verses about Cheng Ya, all of which were based on this scripture, but they were either conjectured or deduced, and the explanations became more complicated and the meanings more obscure, without careful examination and review. .It is difficult for those who have invented something outstanding, and it is especially difficult to prove the ancients and compromise.Sun Yuanru observed that together with his disciple Fengqing, he compiled three volumes of Shennong's Materia Medica, and in addition to Wu Pu's famous doctor, he benefited from the books of Shuowen, Erya, Guangya, Huainanzi, and Baopuzi.There are no ancient prescriptions, regardless of pulse and syndrome, but the meaning of the ancient sage Yin Yin governing the world is as brilliant as the eyebrows.Confucius said, most knowledge comes from the names of birds, beasts, vegetation, and trees, and it is also said that the extension of knowledge lies in the investigation of things, which are books.It is not a book of pure doctors, but a book of Confucianism, which is far better than Xiyong's Yi, and everyone is also suitable.Or in the name of Materia Medica, I first read Han Shu, Pingdiji, Lou Huzhuan, and there are some doubts about the Materia Medica. However, Shennong first tasted a hundred herbs and began to have medicine. It was found in the Sanhuang Ji, because the 365 kinds of annotations are Seven volumes, found in Tao Yinju Bielu, adding one hundred and fourteen species, making it 20 volumes wider, Tang Materia Medica, adding one hundred and thirty-three types, Meng Chang added it to determine, Shu Materia Medica is another sect, and it belongs to the counties and counties. People are attached to the benefits, and Chuan Zeer is born in the Yunsheng Valley.Hong Fan regards Kangning as a blessing, and Yasong praised his life expectancy for ten thousand years, so why should he doubt that he should take a long time to commit suicide and prolong his life? This is what the alchemists of later generations said.Origin, its pulse, reexamination, its gizzard, distinguishing evil and right, determining right and wrong, then warming cold and calming heat.Observing Fang Wen's study, who is famous for Confucianism, and those who seek his writings at home and abroad are like treasures of gold paste, water and green.It goes back to before the emperor Xihuang, thousands of years are like a day, and it is not a special thing that can be done for a long time.Gu Wu's only strange thing is that it is in the editor. It doesn't matter if you are addicted to books. You can afford Shennong and ask about it.In the fourth year of Jiaqing, the Tai Sui was just around the corner, and the sun was shining in October in winter. Zhang Jiong of Xuancheng wrote it in Guanshu Village in Zhanyuan.
