"The healer is back! Those who practice medicine must have rich experience in treating diseases and saving people, and the chief of the mountain uses the Datang United Medical Center to cooperate with the teaching of the medical school, which is wonderful! Wonderful! ”

Dr. Wang sighed.

"In fact, in addition to "A Thousand Golden Prescriptions", I think Mr. Sun Daochang and the two gentlemen can consider compiling a medical book that introduces the medicinal properties of herbal medicines for students to refer to when they practice medicine in the future~!"

Handing over "A Thousand Golden Recipes" to Sun Simiao, Li Zexuan suddenly had another idea in his mind, so he looked at Sun Simiao and the others and said.

"Medicinal properties of herbs~?"

Sun Simiao frowned and said, "Xiao Xuan, the medicinal properties of most herbs are recorded in the "Shennong Materia Medica", why do you want to do this extra and write a book again~?" ”

"Shennong's Materia Medica", also known as "Materia Medica" or "Benjing", one of the four classic works of traditional Chinese medicine, China's earliest works of traditional Chinese medicine, about originated from Shennong's, passed down by word of mouth from generation to generation, assembled and sorted into a book in the Eastern Han Dynasty, the book is not a time, the author is not a person, by the Qin and Han dynasties many medical scientists collected, summarized, sorted out the experience of pharmacology at that time!

Li Zexuan shook his head, of course he knew the existence of the "Shennong Materia Medica", but his intention was not to write another "Shennong's Materia Medica", but to write a medical book similar to the "Compendium of Materia Medica", he pondered for a moment and said:

"Sun Daochang, although the "Shennong Materia Medica" records the medicinal properties of a large number of medicinal materials, its classification method is a little rough, and the records of many of the herbs have been lost for a long time, so it is inevitable that there will be some mistakes! For those who practice medicine, a small mistake can kill a patient!

Therefore, I would like to ask the three of you to take time in the future, on the one hand, to proofread and revise the "Shennong Materia Medica" and correct the errors in it; On the other hand, the herbs recorded in the "Shennong's Materia Medica" are subdivided into categories according to the compendium to form a complete and detailed herbal medicine reference book!

Just like the role of the "Tang Dictionary" for literati, the three herbal medicine books revised in the future are the herbal pharmacopoeia of the future Tang Dynasty doctors, and the doctors can quickly find out the medicinal properties and effects of a certain herb through this book~!

For example, the three digits can divide the drug into different parts according to their properties, and each part can be subdivided into several categories.........."

Li Zexuan hadn't read the "Compendium of Materia Medica" much in his previous life, so naturally there would be no complete memory in his mind, but even if he had read it completely, he would not copy a copy of the "Compendium of Materia Medica" to Sun Simiao and them!

"Compendium of Materia Medica" had a very high status in Li Zexuan's previous life, not only in primary school textbooks there are corresponding texts, but also by Darwin called the ancient Chinese encyclopedia, but in fact, the "Compendium of Materia Medica" in Chinese medicine academic contribution is very low, far less than the primary school textbooks and Darwin praised.

The historical background at that time was that Sun Simiao's "A Thousand Golden Prescriptions" had a large number of Taoist concepts of yin and yang, while Li Shizhen's "Compendium of Materia Medica" was more inclined to botany, and Darwin certainly did not understand the Taoist theory of yin and yang, but he felt that some of the ideas in the "Compendium of Materia Medica" could better support his own theory of evolution, so he hyped and appreciated it in the West!

And the atmosphere of the era of "I Dynasty" was that foreign monks were good at chanting, and foreigners said that it was good, so it was naturally excellent, so the status of the "Compendium of Materia Medica" was infinitely raised!

It can be said that the fame of the "Compendium of Materia Medica" was the result of a deliberate hype by foreigners in order to support its academic theory, and the compilation of the textbook at that time carried out another untrue packaging in order to cater to this hype, packaging Li Shizhen as a great Chinese pharmacist!

But in fact, Li Shizhen's contribution to Materia Medica is far less than his contribution to diagnosing the pulse, and he began to become famous by relying on the two medical skills of "The Pulse of the Lake" and "The Eight Veins of the Strange Classics", rather than the "Compendium of Materia Medica"!

In his previous life, Li Zexuan had a friend from the Medical Department of Capital University who said that among the traditional Chinese medicines recorded in "Chinese Materia Medica", only the three flavors of medicine came from the "Compendium of Materia Medica", and most of the rest came from "Shennong's Materia Medica" and "Materia Medica" (written by Liang Tao Hongjing of the Southern Dynasty), that is to say, in terms of commonly used Chinese medicine, Chinese medicine is basically still eating the old books of Shennong's Yandi and Tao Hongjing!

And although there are as many as 1,892 kinds of drugs recorded in the "Compendium of Materia Medica", Li Shizhen was just a poor doctor in the countryside who did not even print books at that time, so it was naturally impossible to have the financial resources and ability to verify these 1,892 drugs one by one, which led to the fact that there were many records of the medicinal properties of drugs that were not true.

However, it is not that the "Compendium of Materia Medica" is useless, its greatest contribution is to set a precedent in the classification method of herbal medicine, using artificial classification, compared with the previous pharmacological masterpiece in the spicy chicken, the original classification method, the "Compendium of Materia Medica" artificial classification does not know how advanced and scientific many times,

In the "Compendium of Materia Medica", Li Shizhen divided all medicines into 16 parts: water, fire, soil, gold and stone, grass, grain, vegetables, fruits, wood, clothing, insects, scales, media, birds, animals, and humans. Each part is divided into a number of categories, for a total of 62 categories. Among them, there are 1195 species of plants, 340 species of animals and 357 species of ores.

Classified by him, if doctors want to inquire about the pharmacological properties of a certain flavor of Chinese medicine, it is simply too convenient, as convenient as looking up rare words in the "Tang Dictionary"! Therefore, what Li Zexuan wants to do is to recommend this excellent herbal classification method in the "Compendium of Materia Medica" to Sun Simiao and others, and let them use this classification method to sort out some previous herbal medicine masterpieces to form a doctor's reference book similar to the "Compendium of Materia Medica"!

I believe that with the ability of these three people, the quality of the medical books sorted out will not be lower than Li Shizhen's "Compendium of Materia Medica"!

"Mountain chief! If this classification method is used to compile the herbs recorded before into a book, it will undoubtedly be more convenient and faster for students to learn pharmacology. ”

After listening to Li Zexuan's detailed explanation, Dr. Qin and Dr. Wang glanced at each other and exclaimed.

"Hmmm! Xiao Xuan, your herbal classification method is indeed more superior, and it can be seen at a glance! Poor Dao will take time out in the future to sort out such a medical book for the medical school~! ”

Sun Simiao also nodded in admiration, and then he changed his words and said with a smile: "But if Poor Dao is not mistaken, Xiao Xuan, you promised to help Poor Dao make a tool that can see subtle things last year!" But it's been almost a year, Xiao Xuan, have you forgotten this? ”

"Huh~?"

Li Zexuan was stunned, he didn't expect Lao Sun to collect debts from him, cough cough!
