Chapter 3 Calibration of Shennong's Materia Medica

There are three volumes of Shennong's Materia Medica, which are handed down in white characters.See Daguan Materia Medica.According to the preface of Jiayou's Supplementary Notes, the so-called Shennong's classics are the ones whose famous doctors use Zhu characters because of the old Shennong articles, and there are supplements; the ink characters are in the Zhu characters.Kaibao re-determined the preface, saying that there are three volumes of the old scriptures, which have been handed down from generation to generation, and the biography of famous doctors was compiled by each other. To Tao Hongjing, Mr. Liang Zhenbai, he used the biography to refer to his original scriptures, Zhu Mozashu, and it was said to be clear at the time.According to this, the black-and-white script handed down in the Song Dynasty is actually the book of Tao Hongjing's handwriting. Before the Liang Dynasty, Shennong, Huangdi, Qibo, Leigong, and Bianque all had their own written books. Wei Wupu saw it, so it said that the medicinal properties and indications are different from each other. Different, later generations compiled it into one book, but there are still marginal notes, or the difference between Zhu and ink characters, so the text of this scripture is not chaotic.According to the old saying, the name of Materia Medica can only be seen in the Hanshu Pingdi Ji and Lou Huzhuan. According to Yiwenzhi, there are seven volumes of Shennong Huangdi Food Medicine.People in the Song Dynasty didn't take the test, so they suspected that Materia Medica was not the book of Qilue.Jia Gongyan cited the Chinese classics, and there is also a volume of Ziyi's Materia Medica, which is suspected to be the same.Liang Qilu has three volumes of Shennong's Materia Medica, and the number of volumes is different, the difference between ancient and modern separation and combination.In the age of Shennong, the book contract was not written, and the speaker doubted the scriptures based on this. As Huangfu said quietly, he knew that the four volumes were written by the Yellow Emperor.Tao Hongjingyun, before Xuanyuan, the writing was not handed down, and the nature of the medicine was dominated by knowledge. As for Tong Lei, it was written in the compendium.And Yiwenzhi, Nong, Bing, Five Elements, Zazhan, Jingfang, and Shenxian all have Shennong books, and most of them have their own books. , The Spring and Autumn Annals, Jia Kui regarded the three tombs as the book of the Three Emperors, and Shennong preliminarily listed them.According to historical records, Qin Shihuang did not go to the book of medicine and divination, so this scripture was fortunate to coexist with the Book of Changes.Yan Zhitui's family precepts are the same as that mentioned in Shennong's Materia Medica, but there are counties and counties such as Yuzhang, Zhuya, Zhaoguo, Changshan, Fenggao, Zhending, Linzi, Fengyi, etc., and all the medicines were invented by later generations.込, not this article.Tao Hongjing also said that the prefectures and counties where he came from were the system of the later Han Dynasty. It was recorded by Yi Zhongjing Yuanhua and others. The name of the county; Taiping Yulan, quoted from the scriptures above, the valley or Chuanze, the cloud below a certain mountain and county, and Mingsheng valley, this scripture is also.Its counties and counties are benefited by famous doctors. Today’s Daguan edition is all in black characters, or combined with its text. It is said that a certain mountain, river, valley, and certain county, Chuanze, may be written incorrectly. The ancient edition is not like this. After Zhongjing Yuanhua, there are Wu Pu and Li Dangzhi all studied this scripture, and Dang's book is rarely used in the world.Biography of Wei Zhihua Tuo, saying Pu Cong Tuo Xue, Sui Jing Ji Zhi called Wu Pu Materia Medica, Liang has six volumes, Jiayou Materia Medica Cloud, Puxiu Shennong Materia Medica, totaling 441, Tang Jing Ji Zhi, surviving six volumes, Now Guangnei no longer exists, but there are many references to the books.According to his theory of medicinal properties, the cold, warm and five flavors are the most detailed. It is a general book that was lost in the Song Dynasty. Today, his texts can only be cited by Zhang Yuxi. Yulan has a lot of citations, which are enough to make up for the lack of Daguan. The most important thing is not to record the previous books.It is generally said that there are Shennong sayings, that is, the classics, Daguan may be mistakenly written in black, and it is also said to add its medicines, or the number may float to three hundred and sixty-five. It is difficult to determine the separation and combination of future generations.Its medicinal names belong to Yu Yuliang, Wang Buliuxing, Xu Changqing, and Guiduyou. They are not similar to the ancient Chinese. According to the script, Yu is a worm, and Xia Yu is not necessary. The rest of the names may be added by later generations. Or it is said by voice, the old name is changed, and it is said that it is suitable for wine stains, or it is not a thing of Shennong's time. The wine started from the Yellow Emperor, and according to the selected texts, it quoted the history of natural history, and Du Kang made wine. Wang Zhu and Du Kang broke up the letter saying that Kang's name was Zhongning, or that he was from the time of Huangdi, so there is no doubt about the classics.Confucius said, "Speak but not write, believe and love the ancients."

It is also said that most of them know the names of birds, beasts, plants and trees. Today's Confucianism sticks to the ears and eyes, and cannot go far. They don't read the books of medical classics and herbal medicines. Compendium of Materia Medica, whose name is already stupid, only takes the Daguan version, splits the old texts, adds and refute them, and misleads the later learners.Yu and Jia Fengqing integrated this book, and the concubine used it to assist Ji to complete the scriptures, enlighten the methods, learn a little about what he knew, and add textual research, the scriptures say that the upper medicine is the upper classic, the traditional Chinese medicine is the Chinese classic, and the lower medicine is the lower classic. Jade, vegetation, etc., are divided into volumes, and the preface is divided into one volume. Tao Xu Zhu Shuyun, Materia Medica Sutra Volume, Note Cloud, Preface to the source of medicinal properties, disease names and form theory, volume Zhongyun.Three grades of jade, grass and trees, three grades of cloud, insects, animals, fruits, vegetables and rice, this famous doctor changed, and the present is in order of ancient times, and the emperor's century, and the preface of pottery, called four volumes, Zhang Yu Xiyun, according to the old version, also made four volumes .Han Baosheng also said that the first, middle and lower sections of Shennong Materia Medica are combined into four volumes, and if this is the case, the differences between the three and four are recorded in the order, which is the outline of Baopuzi's health preservation.The Shennong Jing caused by the Taiping Yulan, or asked about Taiyizi, or cited Taiyizi, are not found in the scriptures.Or also in the preface, later generations removed the ear, and the scriptures may use itching as nourishment, and wounds as sores.Pale is phlegm, note is moth, sand is sand, rabbit is dodder, etc., all of which are written by mistake, according to the ancient revision, don't be too surprised by the vulgarity, its identification and analysis of the species, citing various books, this Mao's poem, Erya, Shuwen, dialect, Guangya, all kinds of schools, Fengqing's supplementary power is cloudy, written by Sun Xingyan of Yanghu.
