Chapter 376: Compendium of Materia Medica

Under the canopy

Some wealthy businessmen who were familiar with Song Ci found his house and asked for money to help him print books.

and Song Ci's prisoners who helped Zhaoxue began to shed tears when they saw this: "Without Song Ti's punishment, where would we be today." ”

"I can write, I want to buy a collection of grievances and copy it, copy a few more copies, and pass it on to my children and grandchildren."

"I will also buy a few more copies to pass on to my children and grandchildren, and if I don't believe it, I won't pass it on to future generations."

"Well, that's what I thought, too."

Wuwu waited for a while before he continued: "The content of the collection includes the importance and specific steps of forensic examination, the identification of difficult casualties, and the analysis of true and false wounds, etc., which involves the identification of corpses, the transformation of corpses at four times, and homicide, self-killing, burning, drowning, poisoning, ropes, rod death, falling to death, cattle and horses trampling to death, four turns to death, death from alcohol and food, and injuries within the building. ”

"It includes knowledge of pharmacology, pathology, anatomy, first aid, pediatrics, gynecology and other medical aspects. It also contributes to toxicology, and the book records the symptoms of poisoning with various poisons, as well as many practical antidotes and first aid methods. ”

It can be said that the collection of grievances was valued by the imperial court as soon as it came out, and it was soon promulgated throughout the country and became a must-have book for forensic officials. After the Opium War, it was translated and introduced to the Netherlands, Germany, France, Britain and other countries by Western scholars. In the 50s of the 20th century, the book History of Forensic Science and Forensic Examination written by Professor Chelifakov of the Soviet Union engraved the portrait of Song Ci on the frontispiece, and he was respected as the founder of forensic science. ”

"Forensic medicine is also a part of medicine, so we also attribute Song Ci to the famous doctors and respect him as the ancestor of forensic medicine."

After talking without worry, I waited for a while.

She saw that many people in the canopy were asking her about the collection of grievances.

Especially the dynasties before the Song Dynasty asked a lot.

The Qin Dynasty people left the most messages.

They not only asked about the collection of grievances, but also about the writings of the famous doctors introduced earlier.

The canopy of the sky was densely packed: "Fairy, please give me a book." ”

"Fairy, we all want these medical books."

"Please give the fairy a book."

In addition to these messages, there are naturally a lot of fireworks that explode.

I don't know how many people have given it.

Just by looking at these messages, you can see everyone's urgent need for medical books.

After all, no one will inevitably get sick, and only when they are sick can they live a long time if they are diagnosed and treated by a famous doctor, so that they will not die in pain for a short time.

And they also need books on forensic science.

In case someone is killed, there is a clever forensic doctor who can help them get revenge.

Wuwu read the message and thought for a while: "Well, I don't have these books in my hand now, I'll buy some and send them to everyone when I go back?" ”

This is naturally good.

There was another word of thanks from the canopy.

Carefree smiled: "No thanks." ”

Because it took a lot of time to play the video before, when it comes to this, I am worry-free and hungry.

She looked at the time, it was really not early, and many of the ancients had to sleep.

"Well, let's talk a little faster."

Wu Wu found a biscuit and ate it to make up for it: "The one I am talking about below is Li Shizhen, a famous doctor in the Ming Dynasty who was respected as a medicine saint by later generations. ”

"Medicine Saint?"

The emperors of the Ming Dynasty were overjoyed when they heard it.

Especially Zhu Yuanzhang.

"I finally have the name of Daming."

"Who is this Li Shizhen? When will you give birth to someone? ”

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at his sons: "Write it down for Lao Tzu, you must remember this ...... The saint of medicine, passed on to his children and grandchildren, must be respected. ”

His sons all nodded heavily.

They finally have a saint in the Ming Dynasty, and that must be respected.

Didn't you see how greedy the saints of the Han Dynasty, Tang Dynasty, and Song Dynasty were talking about earlier?

"Li Shizhen, born in the thirteenth year of Ming Zhengde, his grandfather was a herbalist doctor, and his father Li Yanwen was a famous doctor at that time. Because the status of doctors at that time was very low and his life was hard, his father was unwilling to let Li Shizhen study medicine, but wanted him to take the orthodox road of the imperial examination, and taught him to read sage books since he was a child, but Li Shizhen loved medicine from the beginning and was not keen on the imperial examination. ”

"It's just that his father's fate is difficult to disobey, he has no choice at a young age, he can only study to death, Li Shizhen went to Huangzhou Mansion with his father at the age of 14 to take the exam, and won the show."

"At the age of 14, he won Xiucai, which was also very remarkable at the time, his father was very happy, and felt that Li Shizhen would definitely be able to go all the way to high school and turn his family into a scholarly family and an official eunuch's home."

"It's a pity that Li Shizhen is really not interested in the imperial examination, and he went to Wuchang three times to take the exam, but he didn't rank."

"Seeing that his son couldn't think about it three times, his father had no choice but to let him develop, Li Shizhen began to concentrate on following his father to study medicine, he is really talented in this industry, he can soon cure diseases and save people, and his reputation has spread."

"When Li Shizhen was 38 years old, he cured the illness of the son of Zhu Houkun, the king of Fushun, and became famous, and was later recommended to Shangjing Rentai Hospital for sentence, but he resigned and returned to his hometown after only serving for one year."

"After he returned to his hometown, he began to practice medicine in the hall, conducting investigation and research on drugs, and during this period, he founded Dongbitang with his own character Dongbi."

"Li Shizhen practiced medicine for decades, he found that there were many errors in the ancient Materia Medica, and decided to recompile a book of Materia Medica, in 1552 AD, Li Shizhen began to compile the Compendium of Materia Medica, he referred to more than 800 books, during which he left home many times to go out to investigate, footprints all over Huguang, Jiangxi, Zhili and many other famous mountains and rivers, and figured out a lot of difficult problems."

"After 27 years of long-term efforts, the first draft of the Compendium of Materia Medica was completed in 1578, when Li Shizhen was 61 years old, and then after 10 years of three revisions, in the third year after his death, the Compendium of Materia Medica was officially published in Jinling, which lasted 40 years."

The Compendium of Materia Medica has a total of 16 parts, 52 volumes, about 1.9 million words, and the whole book contains 1,518 kinds of drugs collected by various families of Materia Medica, and 374 kinds of drugs are added on the basis of predecessors, totaling 1,892 kinds...... This great work, absorbing the essence of the previous dynasties' materia medica works, correcting previous mistakes as much as possible, supplementing deficiencies, and making many important breakthroughs and discoveries, is the most systematic, complete, and scientific medical work in China until the 16th century. ”

Worry-free said this, and couldn't help but eat something.

And under the canopy, Li Shizhen's family has long been smiling from ear to ear.

His father Li Yanwen touched Li Shizhen's head when he was a teenager, and his smile couldn't be hidden: "Sure enough, it's worthy of being a child of my family, but he has the ability...... Since you have no intention of taking the imperial examination, then your father will not force you, let's study medicine, study hard, and fight for our ancestors as soon as possible. ”

Li Yanwen is also really happy.

What happened to the imperial examinations? What can you do when you are an official?

Some of those who were officials were famous in the world, and they were remembered by future generations, and they were revered as holy.

Just your own son.

Medicine Saint, Medicine Saint, haha, I have a saint in my own house.
